Q

BMI calculation and the tricky part to it

A

Weight (kg)/ Height (m2)

tricky part is finding the meters squared
your going to want to convert height from inches to cm ( in x 2.54) - you know this part
then convert cm to meters (cm/100)
*i thinki get tripped up here bc i think i wanan x it but just think dividing will get you a smaller number and meters is a smaller number compared to cm
-then times the cm by itself to square it

Q

Which factors are reduced by obesity? (select 2):

-vital capacity
-ERV
-closing volume
-residual volume

A

vital capacity and ERV

obesity creates a RESTRICTIVE ventilatory deffect
–> lungs are compressed and therefore lung volumes are reduced (VC, ERV)

-FRC decreases (bc of ERV)
-RV remains constant
-closing volume increases (collapsing of alvoli)
-vital capacity decreases (decreased ERV)

Q

Okay so you know that for fat people, their tidal volume needs to be based on IBW - bc just bc they are fat, doesnt mean their lungs are bigger; however, what else do you need to be aware of with vent settings?

A

that you will need to increase RR to compensate for increased O2 consummption and CO2 production since fat is a metabolically active organ

Q

T/F: although the abese patient may experience hypoxemia, the PaCO2 is usually normal

A

True

elevated CO2 signals impending resp failure

explained by the high diffusing capacity of Co2 and the favorabile characteristics of the Co2 dissociation curve
sure….
so i guess they are saying that more alvoli may be compressed and o2 may not be able to diffuse into the blood bc of it, however, bc they have an increased co2 production + it’s ability to diffuse - it balances out

Q

What kind of breathing pattern is good for an obese person and why?

A

rapid and shallow breaths

they have increased o2 requirements bc fat is metabolically active
& increased weight on the chest increases work of breathing, so rapid shallow breaths provides the most energy- efficent way to achieve this goal

Q

Considerations for the CV effects of the morbidly obese patient: select 2:

-increased baseline HR
-increased EKG voltage
-diastolic dysfunction
-increased venous return

A

diastolic dysfunction and increased venous return

  • increased intravascular volume = increased wall stress
  • –> heart compensates by becoming thicker; thicker = unable to relax

-HR is usually unchanged bc an increased SV is responsible for the increased CO

Q

T/F- increased HR in obese population is expected

A

false- usually no change - increased SV accounts for increased CO

47
Q

Why would an obese patients heart be dilated?

A

Venous return must match cardiac output, so the heart dilates to accept the larger incoming volume.

then also becomes thicker to compensate for increased wall stress
-> reduces ventricular compliance and causes diastolic dysfunction
*makes them less tolerant of excessive fluids, putting them at risk for fluid overload (pulm edema)

*use LBW to calculate periop fluid requirements

48
Q

Concerns with fluid managment if you dont have an echo to tell you their heart function- what can you assume

A

well they have this increased circulating intravascular volume in order to perfuse all this extra fat:

-venous return must match CO, so the heart will dilate to accept more volume

-this increased volume makes the heart work harder and overtime it becomes stiffer to compensate at the expense of it being able to relax (diastolic dysfunction)

-so they dont handle excessive fluid administration very well - at risk for fluid overload nad pulm edema

calculate fluid requirements based on LBW

49
Q

What are some common EKG changes in the obese patient (6) and why

A
  1. Low voltage EKG - caused by increased distance between the heart and leads
  2. Left axis devation - stomach pushes heart up and to the left + LVH secondary to volume overload and HTN
  3. Right axis devation - from RVH due to OSA and volume overload
  4. Ischemia - supply and demand mismatch
  5. Dysrhythmias - fatty infiltration of hte conduction system, myocardial hypertrophy, hypoxemia, hypercarbia, obesity hypoventilation syndrome, and ischemic heart diease
50
Q

The presence of what on TEE may be the most useful confirmation of pulmonary HTN?

A

tricuspid regurgitation

51
Q

In the obese patient, which factors are expected to increase (select 2):

-MAC
-Circulation time
-Volume of distribution of lipohhilic drugs
-Volume of distribution of hydrophilic drugs

A

Volume of distibution of both lipophilic and hydrophilic drugs

  1. the Vd of lipophilic drugs is higher due to a larger fat mass
  2. the Vd of hydrophilic drugs is increased due to a larger muscle mass and blood volume

A high CO hastens (speeds) IV drug delivery to the site of action, shortening circ time (go to sleep quicker with IV induction)

MAC is unchanged

52
Q

How does obesity affect lipophilic vs hydrophilic drugs

A
  1. the Vd of lipophilic drugs is higher due to a larger fat mass
  2. the Vd of hydrophilic drugs is increased due to a larger muscle mass and blood volume
53
Q

As a rule of thumb, what kind of drugs are calculated with what kind of weights?

A

TBW- lipid-soluble drugs
IBW- water-soluble drugs

obesity increases volume of distribution of both water and lipid soluble drugs, so LBW can be used to account for this

54
Q

T/F: a loading dose is primarily depdendent on the volume of distribution, while the maintenance dose is determined by clearance

A

true

55
Q

what happens when you give a lipophilic drug to the obese population?

A

bc the drug will just distribute into the fat compartments, lowering the plasma concentration

56
Q

Using IBW may result in (overdose/underdose) of a drug in the obese population

What about TBW

A

underdose bc the Vd is larger in the obese population (higher blood volume, higher muscle mass)

may overdose bc fat is less fascular than other tissue , so a greate % of the loading dose will go to the vessel-rich group

57
Q

Why don’t you want to dose lipophlic drugs on TBW in the obese population?

A

bc fat receieves a smaller amount of the CO, so a greater % of the loading dose will go to the VRG

58
Q

Calculation for LBW

A

IBW x 1.3

59
Q

How is defluorination affected by obesity and iso/sevo/des

A

iso and des - increased defluorination (but not linked to postop hepatic or renal dysfunction)

-no change in sevo

60

62
Q

Engorgement of hte epidural veins and increased epidural fat will cause a greater spread of local anesthetic in the epidural space. For this reason, the dose should be reduce to what % of the normal dose?

A

75%

63
Q

Which drugs are soley based on TBW vs LBW regardless of induction vs maintenance dose

-PROPOFOL
-MIDAZ
-FENT/SUFENT
-REMI
-ROC/VEC
-CIST/ATRA
-SUX

A

All TBW = MIDAZ - SUX - CIST/ATRA
All LBW = REMI - ROC/VEC

Variable: Propofol & Fent/Sufent
& they are opposite

Prop induction = LBW, mainteneance = TBW
Fentanyl induction = TBW, maintenance = LBW

64
Q

Why do we use TBW to calculate Sux if it’s water soluble

water soluble drugs are typically IBW

A
  1. increased blood volume (increased Vd) and
  2. increased pseudocholinesterase activity (increased clearance)
65
Q

T.F - obesity results in decreased pseudocholinesterase activity

A

False - increased

*increased clearence of sux - larger dose needed

66
Q

What is remi always based on and why?

A

LBW

-it’s rapidly cleared by plasma esterases, so it behaves more like a water-soluble drug

i guess IBW in regular people but shifts to LWB in obese bc LBW helps account for the increased muscle mass…

67
Q

T/F: how is the absorption of orally administered meds affected in the obese population

A

no difference

68
Q

5 or more unsuccessful efforts to breathe
> 4 % reduction in SpO2

75
Q

What is definited as a 50% reduction in airflow for 10 seconds, 15 or more times per hour and is linked to snoring and decreased o2 sats

A

hypopnea

76
Q

Neck girth risk in men vs women for OSA

A

men- neck > 17inches
women- neck >16

77
Q

Describe the pathophysiologic cycle of apnea:

A

sleep → decreased upper airway tone → increased upper airway resistance → obstruction (snoring) → hypoemia/hypercarbia (SNS stimulation) → arousal (daytime sleepiness) → increased upper airway tone → pt breathes

78
Q

Which apnea/hypopnea index score is consistent with mild OSA?

-3
-12
-25
-40

A

12

The value is derived by the number of apnea episodees and hypopnea divided by the total hours of sleep

Mild = 5-15 epidodes/hr
moderate = 15-30 episodes/hr
severe > 30 episodes per hour

79
Q

Why is it important to screen all patients for OSA?

A

bc most patients are underdiagnosied and it’s a major contributer to periop M&M

80
Q

What is the definitive test for OSA?

A

Polysomnography

81
Q

How many episodes per hour determines miild, moderate, vs severe sleep apnea

what is the rating system called?

A

5-15 = mild
15-30 = moderate
>30 = severe

Apnea-hypopnea index (AHI)

82
Q

Bedside assessment tool for OSA

how many = high risk vs low risk

A

STOPBANG

Snoring
Tirdness
Observed apnea
Pressure*
BMI >35 (obese class 2) *
Age > 50 *
Neck circumfrence > 40cm
Gender - male *

* = things you can get from chart

=/> 3 yeses = high risk
<3 = low risk

so a male over 50 with HTN = high risk just with those 3 yeses alone

83
Q

How many patients with sleep apnea are undiagnosed?

A

60-70%

84
Q

T/F: Obesity hypoventilation syndrome is a long-term consequence of untreated OSA

A

True

overtime, the respiratory center in the medulla fails to respond to hypercarbia appropriately

85
Q

  2. Awake PaCO2 > 45
  3. Dysfunctional breathing during sleep
86
Q

Risk of anesthesia and Pickwickian syndrome

A

administation of any respiratory depressant drugs puts these patients at high risk of airway obstruction nad resp arrest

*when planning your management, try to think of multi-modal approaches to pain that do not impact resp drive: regional, nsaids, tylenol, ketamine, dex

3 most common s/s anastomatic leak

A
  1. tachycardia (72%)
  2. fever (63%)
  3. abdominal pain (54%_

unexplained tachycardia is most sensitive sign.
unexplained HR of > 120bmp is concerning even if no other s/s present

A

-Phentermine: NE reuptake inhibitor
-Ma Huang + Ephedra lkaloid
-Sibutramine + NE and SSRI
-Orlistat + Lipase inhibitor

A

D. decreased blood viscosity

*they have increased blood viscostiy

110
Q
