A

looks for and removes any air bubbles in heart

48
Q

A
  1. bradycardia
  2. Vtach/Vfib
50
Q

are we worried about Vtach/Vfib post-cross clamp removal?

Q

pacing rate

Q

anesthesia tasks once the heart is beating in sinus

Iso ON

58
Q

when is the venous reservoir closed

A

when the pt is back on the ventilator

59
Q

when is the venous cannula removed

A

after the venous reservoir is closed

60
Q

when is the aortic cannula removed

A

after heparin is reversed with protamine

61
Q

why do the surgeons wait to remove the aortic cannula?

A

precautionary action in case of protamine adverse reaction

62
Q

primary agent to reverse heparin

A

protamine

63
Q

what drug can be given if pt is bleeding more than expected after protamine?
