  • Bowels

CONT

A Roux limb may be formed in multiple different gastrointestinal surgeries, including bariatric surgery, e. g. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass [and] biliopancreatic diversion... In these procedures, the small bowel is divided at some point. This leaves two components of small bowel : a proximal component connected to the stomach, pancreas, and biliary system [and] a distal component connected to the terminal ileum and colon. The end of the distal component is dragged up and connected(anastomosed) to the remnant stomach... This is the Roux limb. It accepts incoming food and transmits it from the gastric remnant to the colon.

Surgical chisel designed to cut and shape bone during surgical procedures.

[The bone chisels] typically consist of a sturdy, handheld, manual flat-blade instrument with a cutting edge that is beveled on one side at the distal end and a handle. Dedicated surgical chisels are available in a variety of shapes and sizes according to the procedure to be performed; they are used in orthopedic and plastic surgery, neurosurgery, and other surgical procedures.

OBS

Bone chisels are tools for carving small pieces out of the bones to reach the inner soft part. [They] are used to score, cut, scrape, clean and sculpt bone. ... The bone sculpting chisels are called osteotomes: they are used to cut a window in the bone cortex to allow harvesting of pure soft bone.

Il existe cependant en français une nuance entre le burin et le ciseau. Le terme « burin » est employé en chirurgie pour désigner un instrument à extrémité biseautée tranchante destinée à entailler le périoste ou l'os. Quant au terme «ciseau», il désigne un instrument plat, également taillé en biseau, utilisé en chirurgie osseuse pour prélever, tailler ou trancher un greffon ou un fragment osseux.

Subject field(s)
  • Surgical Instruments
DEF

A device for maintaining a patent airway without tracheal intubation, consisting of a tube connected to an oval inflatable cuff that seals the larynx.

OBS

[The] laryngeal mask airway(LMA) is a cuff device that provides sufficient seal to allow for positive pressure ventilation to be delivered. It is particularly useful in maintaining an airway in anesthetized patients when endotracheal intubation is not desired or during emergency situations in which mask ventilation is not possible or intubation and/or ventilation fails. An LMA is a wide bore tube, with a connector at its proximal end(that can be connected to a breathing circuit) and with an elliptical cuff at its distal end. When inflated, the elliptical cuff forms a low pressure seal around the entrance into the larynx.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Instruments chirurgicaux
CONT

Le masque laryngé (ML) est un dispositif qui permet le contrôle des voies aériennes. [...] il est fréquent d'utiliser le masque laryngé pour des chirurgies nécessitant des anesthésies profondes, imposant de ventiler le patient. Les modalités de la ventilation en pression positive sur masque laryngé ne sont pas encore bien définies, surtout chez l'enfant. [...] De nombreuses études ont montré que le ML pouvait être utilisé comme [solution de remplacement] à l'intubation trachéale sous certaines conditions.

OBS

Le masque laryngé est un matériel destiné à la ventilation de patients en anesthésie. Son indication comprend les interventions de courte durée (moins de 2 heures) sans modification de la position opératoire et autorisant un accès immédiat à la tête afin de réaliser une intubation classique si le besoin s’en faisait sentir. Le patient doit être à jeun et ne présenter aucun risque d’inhalation. Le ML est contre-indiqué chez les patients à risque de régurgitation ou d'inhalation, que la cause en soit chirurgicale ou médicale. [...] Ce dispositif ne permet pas d’isoler les voies aériennes des voies digestives. Le risque majeur est donc l’inhalation du contenu gastrique (syndrome de Mendelson).
