2020 Review Flashcards
If there is a decrease in SvO2, what should you do?
increase flows
Why does blood pressure decrease when the clamp comes off?
lung ventilation
When is the best time for plasmapheresis?
After anesthesia and before they cut into patient
What is plasmapheresis?
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
what is the ideal post dilution hematocrit on bypass
23-35
with no heparinization, what should be the lowest flow rate?
1 LPM.
what is perfusion pressure
pressure of oxygen to tissues
what is the ideal place for O2 analyzer?
after the gas line
what can lead to an increase in glucose and hyperkalemia on pump
decrease in insulin
when is serum glucose the highest?
during rewarming
hyperkalemia definition
a potassium level in your blood that’s higher than normal
what should you do if you have a runaway pump?
clamp arterial line
if there is gas flow interference when you are on pump and there is no O2 tank available, what should you do?
put the O2 line in the roller head
what is the best indicator of adequacy of perfusion
SvO2
what is hemoglobinuria and what does it show a perfusionist?
excretion of free hemoglobin in the urine and is a CPB trauma
when scrubbing into surgery, how long should you scrub your hands for?
2-5 minutes
a contraindication for cell salvage is
use of micro fibrillar collagen hemostat
antibiotics aspirated in cell salvage cause what?
hemolysis
what is the ratio of cell salvage
7 parts citrate to 1 part blood
if you given back a significant amount of cell saver and the PTT and PT are still not correct, what should be given?
FFP
PRBCs with citrate can be stored for how long?
35 days
for an air embolism, what should be done immediately
put the patient in trendelenburg position
what is normal NIRS range?
75-80
what does NIRS measure?
cerebral oximetry
local SaO2 and SvO2
what does NIRS consist of?
four diodes per pad
what does BIS monitoring tell us?
indication of depth of anesthesia
90-100 BIS tells us
patient is awake
60-90 BIS tells us
light to moderate mediation
40-60 BIS tells us
goal sedation during surgery
20-40 BIS tells us
brain suppression
0 BIS tells us
electrical silence meaning absence of brain activity
what is the use for TEE during cardiac surgery?
to check for air
what does EEG stand for?
electroencephalogram
what does an EEG tell us?
a test used to find problems related to electrical activity of the brain. usually used to check for adequate brain perfusion
what is the risk of giving a lot of bank blood?
- citrate toxicity
- hypotension
- decreased pulse pressure
- increased LVEDP and CVP
- arrhythmias
