Overview
Effective measurement for the primary prevention of fat embolism include early fixation of long bone fractures, external fixation with a plate and screw and use of small-diameter nails.
Primary Prevention
Effective measurement for the primary prevention of fat embolism are as follows:[1]
Pre-operative preventive measures:
- Preoperative intravenous injection of dexamethasone.[2]
- Continuous pulse oximetry to detect hypoxemia at early stages.[3][4][5]
- Early fixation of long-bone fracture.
- External fixation or fixation with plate and screw decreases the possibility of fat embolism than than nailing the medullary cavity and venting the medullary canal during nailing.[4]
- If nails are needed, smaller-diameter nails and unreamed nailing may be better.[6]
In-operation preventive measures:
In patients having surgery for long bone fractures following preventive measures should be taken:
- Early detection of the symptoms by careful vigilence and high degree of clinical suspicion.
- Continuous monitoring for the fall in oxygen saturation.
- An early initiation of supplemental oxygen and steroids may help in inhibiting the hypoxic insult and manifestations of full-blown FES.
- The patient should not be over sedated.
- Careful monitroing of vitals and temperature is mandatory.
- Periodic neurological assessment.
- Albumin should be used for volume resuscitation as it binds with free fatty acids and reduces lung injury.
