CA1 Flashcards
What does NIBP measure?
MAP
What is SaO2 and how is it calculated
Fractional Oxygen O2Hb/(O2Hb + COHb+MetHb)
What at high levels cause SpO2 to be 85% and what happens at different levels of SaO2?
Methemoglobinemia; SaO2 >85% falsely low reading and SaO2 <85% falsely high reading
What does CO reading do to SpO2?
Creates a falsely high SpO2 reading due to similar absorbance to O2Hb
When does cyanosis appear?
@ Hgb of 15 SaO2 of 80% and Hgb of 9 SaO2 of 66%
How sensitive is using two leads II and V5 in predicting ischemic events?
80%
How do you calculate Systolic and Diastolic BP with MAP?
MAP = (SBP +2DBP)/3 = DBP + (pulse pressure)/3
How does blood pressure change with change in height?
pH 7.410 for every 10 cm of height change 7.4 mmHg
How does EtCO2 change when patient goes apneic
Will increase 6 mmHg first minute and 3 mmHg every minute after that
What is gold standard of temperature source?
Pulmonary artery temperature
For inhalation agents what measure effect of the gas?
Partial pressure not concentration therefore atmospheric pressure matters => higher altitude = less effective at the same concentration
What does high cardiac output do to anesthetic reaching the CNS
You need more, there is more in the “tank”
How do different shunts effect volatile anesthetics
Right to left shunt (and mainstem) causes dilution of volatile gas.
Left to right shunt doesn’t do anything
Explain the second gas effect
The effect of a second agent increases the concentration of the other gas (i.e nitrous)
Potency of volatile anesthetic is linked to what?
Lipid solubility
What are the effects of volatile agents on neuro
Decreases CMRO2 and CVR but increases CBF and ICP
Nitrous Increases CMRO2 and CVR
0.5 mac of sevo/iso/des decrease CMRO2 and CBF is okay
1 mac of sevo/iso/des decreases CMRO2 substantially and CVR decreases therefore CBF increases
What are the effects of volatile agents on cardiac
Decrease in SVR and MAP, but maintains CO except halothane decreases contractility
Effects of volatile agents on Pulm
Decrease tidal volume, increased RR in order to maintain minute ventilation
Bronchodilation
Effects of volatile agents on renal
Decrease renal blood flow and decrease in GFR
Effects of volatile agents on MSK
increases muscle relaxation except N2O
Pros of N2O
Pros:
Quick on and off
NMDA antagonist
No malignant hyperthermia
Cons of N2O
Cons:
- Mac of 104% only adjunct, low potency
- PONV
- If pulmonary cavities or blebs can cause tension pneumo
- Pulm HTN for prolonged exposure
- Bone marrow suppression with prolonged exposure
Pros of Iso
Pros:
Second most potent
Least expensive
Mac of 2 causes silent EEG
Cons of ISO
Cons:
- Coronary vasodilator => coronary steal syndrome
- Decreases BP and increases CBF @ mac 1.6 and ICP mac above 1
Things to know about Sevo and the carbon dioxide desicator
Can create CO
Can create Compound A and found to be nephrotoxic in rats therefore keep flows atleast 2 L/min so rebreathing does not happen.
Things to know about desflurane
- Low potency
- high vapor pressure
- Very pungent => When given to awake patient => Can cause breath holding, bronchospasm, laryngospasm, cough, salivation
- Can cause increase HR and BP when increased rapidly
At what MAC does 95% of patients no respond to incision?
MAC 1.3
What is MACaware
MAC necessary to prevent response to tactile or verbal response
volatile = 0.4 and N2O = 0.6
MAC movement
MAC 1.0 prevents movement
MAClaryngoscope,LMA,intubation
MAC 1.3
MACBar
MAC to reach blunted autonomic response to noxious stimulus
MAC 1.6 with use of opiate and nitrous
When is MAC highest and how does it depreciate?
Highest at 6 mo old
after 40 y/o decreases 6% for every decade
What factors require higher MAC?
- Amphetamine, ephedrine, L-Dopa, and TCA => Inhibition of catecholamine reuptake
- Chronic alcohol abuse
- <6 mo yo
- Hyperthermia
- Hypernatremia
-Gingers
What pathophysiological conditions causes requiring less MAC
- Hypothermia
- Hypoxia
- Hypercarbia
- Severe anemia Hgb<5
- Sepsis
- Hyponatremia
- Acute EtOH intoxication
Propofol Induction dose
1.5-2.5 mg/kg
Propofol effects on Neuro
Decrease CMRO2, CBF, ICP
Propofol effects on CV
Decreases SVR, direct myocardial depressant
Propofol effect on Pulm
