Q

Approx Heat Loss: Evaporation

A

20%

28
Q

Approx Heat Loss: Respiration

A

10%
- 8% water evap
- 2% heating of air

29
Q

radiation

A

infrared energy emitted from any object in reference to another

the body emits energy to the air

30
Q

conduction

A

transfer of energy from one solid body to another

conduction of heat to operating table

requires air current for higher impact

31
Q

convection

A

air expands due to incr in energy

hot air rises
cold air sinks below

final transfer of energy

32
Q

evaportaion

A

causes energy to phase change
liquid –> gas

energy is pulled form the body

sweating

33
Q

respiration

A

energy is expended to heat the cool air as it enters lungs

34
Q

heat redistribution

A

volatile agents cause vasodilation
inhibits thermoregulatory vasoconstriction
(inhibits shunting)

core heat spread through body, including peripherals

35
Q

Heat loss

A

heat loss > heat production

36
Q

anesthetics reduce metabolic rate by

A

20-30%

37
Q

steady state

A

heat loss > heat production
core hypothermia induces vasoconstriction

38
Q

how much heat can you lose in the 1st hr of anesthesia without warming pt?

A

1-2C

39
Q

Phase 1 of Hypothermia

A

redistribution
1-2 C lost (w/o warming pt)

40
Q

Phase 2 of hypothermia

A

heat loss
1C over 3 hours (just from anesthesia)

this will increase for:
– open abdome
– cold irrigation fluid

41
Q

Phase 3 hypothermia

A

steady state

hypothermia induces vasoconstriction so heat loss levels off

42
Q

Mild Hypothermia temp

A

1-2 C heat loss

43
Q

Mild Hypothermia physiological changes

A
  • shivering: 5x metabolic demand
  • decr enzymatic function
    – EBL incr by 20%
  • cardiac arrythmia/ischemia: 3x risk
  • incr PVR
  • left shift hb-O2 dissociation curve
  • incr stress response
  • altered mental status
  • impaired renal function
  • delayed drug metabolism
  • impaired wound healing
44
Q

51
Q

hotdog system

A

electric blanket
43C initially, reduce to 38 once pt adequately warmed

decr potential surgical site infection (SSI)

52
Q

blanketrol

53
Q

A

do not use on ischemic (cold) limbs
do not use on lower body during aortic cross-clamping
do not place over transdermal med pts

BH:
do not turn on prior to surgical draping
do not use hose alone

54
Q

supine positioning: head/neck

A

neutral position on 3 axis
- extension/flexion
- lateral flexion
- lateral rotation

avoid fishhooking.
- can cause facial-buccal neuralgia
– bell’s palsy

56
Q

brachial plexus positioning

A

no external compression
arm boards less than 90 degrees

57
Q

ulnar nerve positioning

A

supinate arm (palm up)
- rotates cubital tunnel to avoid external compression

58

59
Q

albuterol

A

B-2 agonist
