    Operating rooms are cold. Patients are inadequately clothed and receive anaesthetics which hamper their homeostatic defences to cold. As a result, patients undergoing operations lasting over two hours often become hypothermic, with a fall of core temperature of 2-4°C. During rewarming cortisol and catecholamines are released, which augment the stress response of the operation. Keeping patients warm has been associated with a threefold decrease in the rate of wound infection, a reduction in operative blood loss, a decrease in untoward cardiac events, including ventricular tachycardia, and a reduction in nitrogen excretion and patient discomfort. Maintenance of a normal temperature during surgery is central to reducing the stress of the surgical procedure and reducing the risk of organ dysfunction.( as cited in British Medical Journal)

    It is an autosomal dominant disorder with the error being in the TWIST transcription factor

    Classic features include:

    A)synostosis of the coronal sutures of the skull resulting in characteristic faces including ptosis, facial asymmetry and small ears
    B)syndactyly of the fingers, particularly of the second and third digits
    C)Intelligence is usually normal. Some affected individuls may have mild to moderate mental retardation.

    FAST TRACK SURGERY: combines various techniques used in the care of patients undergoing elective operations. The methods used include epidural or regional anaesthesia, minimally invasive techniques, optimal pain control, and aggressive postoperative rehabilitation, including early enteral (oral) nutrition and ambulation. The combination of these approaches reduces the stress response and organ dysfunction and therefore greatly shorten the time required for full recovery.

    2.Purulent (phlegmonous) stage
    Spontaneous regression rarely occurs.
    Appendicitis usually evolves beyond perforation and rupture.
    Peritonitis may be possible.

    3. Gangrenous stage
    Spontaneous regression never occurs.
    Peritonitis is present.

Interestingly, odansetron is maximally effective when it is given at the conclusion rather than at the beginning of the surgical procedure. The prophylactic use of these agents is usually reserved for patients undergoing outpatient abdominal operations such as laparoscopic cholecystectomy or for patients with a history of severe postoperative nausea. When nausea and vomiting occur after surgery, giving two agents such as droperidol and metoclopramide has been shown to alleviate these symptoms better than a single agent  less

    This is a game to recall facts about a particular topic (Acute Appendicitis). Post the facts about the topic. Restrict to one fact per post. Your new fact should not have been posted earlier. You can also correct previous posts if they are wrong, by copy-pasting it and indicating why its wrong......by reading previous posts, by think about the topic and manually typing the facts with your fingers, you will remember longer...learning is fun
