This is a subspecialty of anesthesiology that focuses on providing anesthesia, sedation and pain management to patients with orthopedic trauma. Traumatic orthopedic injuries can range from isolated wounds to severe complex injuries. Patients with orthopedic injuries may need anesthesia for procedures to repair, damage control surgery or semi-elective procedures after stabilization.
Orthopedic anesthesia involves a wide range of techniques because the patients are at an increased risk for embolisms such as fat emboli and venous emboli. Bone cement can result in hemodynamic instability and tourniquets increase a unique set of considerations.
Evaluation before surgery should be thorough to the extent that the situation allows. Whenever possible, a review of the patient’s injuries, medical history, medications, allergies and last oral intake should be performed. An orthopedic anesthesiologist also performs and airway assessment and a directed physical examination. Sometimes the patient may be unable to provide an accurate medical history due to head trauma, illicit drug use, alcohol use, severe pain or dementia.
Laboratory tests results such as glucose, electrolyte, hemoglobin, coagulation parameters, platelet count and lactate should be reviewed.
Bone Cement
Bone cement is made by mixing methylmethacrylate powder and liquid methylmethacrylate monomer. This leads to an exothermic polymerization reaction and the formation of polymethylmethacrylate. This reaction can cause intramedullary hypertension which can result in embolization of fat, marrow, and cement.
Pneumatic Tourniquet
The tourniquet can be extremely painful. It is relatively resistant local anesthesia and can sometimes overcome regional anesthesia necessitating general anesthesia.
Knees are the most painful joints post-operative. Orthopedic anesthesiologists develop a pain management plan for the patient after surgery so that the pain can be controlled. Epidural analgesia, intra-articular injections, nerve catheters, NSAIDs and IV opiates are some of the options. The orthopedic anesthesiologist decides the type of postoperative analgesia according to individual cases.
