| + | General Notes:\\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | How to succeed on Iorio Thursday:\\ | ||
| + | Put tourniquets on in pre-op\\ | ||
| + | Ask Dr. Iorio which patients should get blocks and convey this to anesthesia. In general any bony, tendon or ligament work will get blocks. Soft tissue carpals, trigger fingers, ganglions get local. CuTR should go to sleep because the blocks tend not to work.\\ | ||
| + | The nurses tend to take a long time to prep, so feel free to put on sterile gloves yourself and get it done.\\ | ||
| + | Towards mid-morning, | ||
| + | Use Amy's discharge instructions. Dotphrase .PRShanddischargeinstructions\\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | Clinic:\\ | ||
| + | It's busy. Between 40-60 patients on Tuesdays for Hand.\\ | ||
| + | You need to be extremely concise. "55 yo RHD woman with CTS. I want to order an EMG." | ||
| + | Ask Kayla or Dan to pull meds for injections. He uses 1 cc dex and 1 cc lidocaine mixture for everything.\\ | ||
| + | You could potentially ask for pyxis access to do it yourself.\\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | How to roll a Dr. Iorio Bulky Jones:\\ | ||
| + | These are usually for lower extremity free flaps. Make sure you glue to vioptix down with dermabond. He holds it down and then cuts the tips of his gloves off. Roll the 1lb of cotton on. No need to break it in half. Next get the webril and use it to keep the cotton on. Now get the bias. Start at the heal. Once you get a roll around the heal, place a folded ABD under the heal for extra padding. Roll up the bias all the way up. Guess where the doppler stitch is and make a hole. Use the 1 slice of medipore tape to re-enforce the wall of the hole. Prop the heal up on blankets and pillows transversely at the foot of the bed. There should be no pressure under the popliteal fossa (the inflow).:\\ | ||

| + | Marking: He marks like the hunt book. Just over the posterior border of the medial epicondyle.\\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | How he tackles each compression point:\\ | ||
| + | Usually starts proximally, however in the rare case that a patient is super thin or odd tissue will start distally, | ||
| + | Finds nerve proximally to osbornes. Will go proximally and free up arcade of struthers bluntly with his finger.\\ | ||
| + | Next, will follow nerve and cut osborne' | ||
| + | Continue following that proximally and cut the FCU fascia. Be careful around the muscle as branches may start coming off. Remember the first branch is the articular branch to the elbow, and then FCU branches. Dinging FCU branch not nice, but probably not a huge deal.\\ | ||
| + | Go back to medial intramuscular septum. This is between medial and long heads of triceps and brachialis. It's like strumming a guitar string. Cut that out and go down to just above periosteum. Like 1/2 cm wide and 4 cm logitudinal.\\ | ||
| + | Free up the nerve using a vessel loop. He uses combo of blunt with freer and scissors. Once free transpose. Check if you like it for kinks. Remember you can free up the distal half deeply off the bone using a freer. There are no branches going to the bone.\\ | ||
| + | Once you like how it lays, suture the old tract of the ulnar nerve closed with 3-0 monocryl. Then suture the lateral skin flap to the medial epicondyle with 3-0 monocryl.\\ | ||
| + | Close with 4-0 nylon horizontal mattress or 3-0 and 4-0 monocryl.\\ | ||
