Thoracic outlet syndrome surgery includes procedures such as first rib resection and scalenectomy. Symptoms include pain, tingling, or weakness in the upper extremity, with vascular involvement including venous swelling, arterial flow disruption, and deep vein thrombosis.
Overview
Indications
Surgical procedure
Preoperative management
Patient evaluation
| System | Considerations |
|---|---|
| Airway | |
| Neurologic | May have numbness/tingling in affected upper extremity |
| Cardiovascular | May have vascular involvement (venous swelling, DVT, arterial compression) |
| Pulmonary | |
| Gastrointestinal | |
| Hematologic | May have DVT in the upper extremity affected and may be on anticoagulation |
| Renal | |
| Endocrine | |
| Other |
Labs and studies
Generally not necessary as most patients are young and healthy
Operating room setup
- If the surgeon wants to have neuro-monitoring to avoid injury to the brachaial plexus, you will need to avoid paralysis
- TIVA with succinylcholine for induction would be ideal
- Can set up for GA with paralysis if no need for neuro-monitoring
Patient preparation and premedication
- Anxiolysis as needed
Regional and neuraxial techniques
- Paravertebral Block may help with post-op pain control
Intraoperative management
Monitoring and access
Induction and airway management
Standard induction for GETA, paralysis okay if no nerve monitoring needed
Positioning
Left or right lateral decubitus, with affected upper extremity in operative field facing up. Generally with shoulder roll.
Maintenance and surgical considerations
Avoid any IVs or BP cuff on the surgical side as that arm will be prepped and in the surgical field.
Emergence
Postoperative management
Disposition
Pain management
Potential complications
