Heat, expansion and hardening lead to ________ (> ______ mmHg).
-intermedullary hypertension
->500 mmHg
Residual mma monomer produces ______ and ______ SVR
vasodilation, decreases
_____________release may cause platelet aggregation, microthrombus (lungs) and CV instability
Tissue thromboplastin
Bone Cement Implantation Syndrome
-Hypoxia (increased pulmonary shunt)
-Hypotension
-Dysrhythmias (heart block and sinus arrest)
-Pulmonary htn (increased PVR)
-Decreased Cardiac Output

_______ ________ is associated with the highest risk of BCIS.
Hip arthroplasty
-others include knee, vertebra, and kyphoplasty
In the awake patient undergoing regional anesthesia, the first signs of BCIS are usually _______ and _______.
dyspnea and altered mental state
Under GA, the first sign of BCIS is a _______ _________.
Decrease EtCO2
First line treatment of BCIS includes…….(3)
100% FiO2
IV fluids
phenylephrine
Problems associated with Pneumatic Tourniquets
-Hemodynamic changes
-Pain
-Metabolic changes
-Arterial thromboembolism & -Pulmonary embolism
-Muscle and nerve injury
-Limb cooling
Cells _____ to pneumatic tourniquet shift to _______ metabolism, and ________ by products accumulate as long as tourniquet is inflated.
-distal
-anaerobic
-metabolic
Inflation pressure for upper extremity surgery:
70-90 mmHg above SBP
Inflation pressure for lower extremity surgery:
2x over SBP
2 ways that Tourniquet release stresses the body:
- restoring blood flow to extremity produces a relative decrease in circulating blood volume.
- The products of cellular hypoxia enter the systemic circulation.
Releasing the tourniquet produces transient changes that include:
-increased EtCO2
-Decreased core body temperature
-Decreased blood pressure
-Decreased SvO2
-Metabolic acidosis
Tourniquet pain usually begins at _____ after inflation.
45-60 minutes
_______ ________ is the most likely cause of tourniquet pain.
Tissue ischemia
Tourniquet pain is transmitted by _____ ______.
C fibers (slow pain)
Pain is _______ to analgesics.
Unresponsive
Under GA tourniquet pain manifests as ______ and _____. Consider _______ for the patient with CAD.
-hypertension and tachycardia
-esmolol
Cuff deflation drops _____ , _____, and _____.
CVP, MAP, and Pain
Cuff deflation: _____ increases and core temp ______
HR, decreases
Tourniquet pain is less common is _______ anesthesia vs _______.
Regional vs General
Metabolic waste products accumulate in tissue. Cuff deflation is rapid wash out of same: Increase _____,_______, _______ and _______.
Increased PaCO2, ETCO2, serum lactate and potassium
