Q

What is plasmapheresis?

A

a device separates whole blood into the cellular compartments and plasma. The plasma is then discarded and replaced with colloid fluid, combined back with the cellular components and returned to the same patient

Q

what does temporary epicardial pacing consist of?

A

pacing wires sutured to the epicardium of the heart, on the atrium, and on the ventricle

37
Q

without myocardial protection, irreversible damage begins to occur after how long?

A

20 minutes

38
Q

in a patient with DMII, upon initiation of CPB, what happens?

A

causes a dilution effect that stimulates alpha cells in the islets of Langerhans which will cause glucagon release and will cause glucose in the blood to rise

39
Q

reperfusion injuries occur when?

A

when the cross clamp is removed

40
Q

what causes reperfusion injuries?

A

air

41
Q

what is reperfusion injury?

A

myocardial, vascular, or electrophysiological dysfunction after blood supply returns to once ischemic tissue

42
Q

what are symptoms of reperfusion injury?

A

inflammation (neutrophil accumulation), oxidative damage, arrhythmias, and endothelial cell damage

43
Q

five mediators of reperfusion injury

A
  • Ca influx
  • neutrophils
  • compliment activation
  • O2 free radicals
  • edema
44
Q

what do neutrophils do in reperfusion injury?

A

they release oxygen free radical scavengers

45
Q

what else does neutrophils also produce that might help reperfusion injury?

A

superoxide

superoxide dismutase is an enzyme that helps break down potentially harmful oxygen molecules in cells, which might prevent damage to tissues

46
Q

how are neutrophils affected by reperfusion?

A

they are chemotactically altered by reperfusion from the release of protease

this can cause endothelial stiffness, which decreases the flexibility needed for capillary flow, promotes microembolization and is implicated in post-ischemic edema

47
Q

during reperfusion injury, what do oxygen free radicals produce?

A

peroxide, which causes damage to the cells

48
Q

how do oxygen free radical scavengers work?

A

they work in the body by converting hydrogen peroxide to water and CO2

49
Q

respiratory acidosis values

A

pH is <7.35
CO2 is > 45
HCO3- is normal
BE is negative

50
Q

respiratory alkalosis values

A

pH is >7.45
pCO2 is <35
HCO3- is normal
BE is positive

51
Q

compensated respiratory acidosis has what values

A

normal ph
high pCO2
high HCO3-

52
Q

compensated respiratory alkalosis has what values

A

normal pH
low PCO2
low HCO3-

53
Q

what do you do to correct metabolic acidosis

A

give bicarb

54
Q

what will be seen with uncompensated respiratory acidosis

A

low pH
high CO2

55
Q

what can metabolic alkalosis be treated with

A

lactated ringers
ammonium chloride
diamox

Q

what is the main drop in blood pressure after initiation of bypass?

to increase the partial pressure of O2 in the oxygenator, what can be done on pump?

73
Q

what are the differences between the different types of flow probes?

ultrasonic: no contact with blood, uses waves to calculate flow
doppler: acoustics to measure blood flow

74
Q
