Q

Well-described complications of radiofrequency catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation?

A

phrenic nerve injury and thermal injury to esophagus causing atrioesophageal fistula (due to close proximity to posterior left atrium of both structures)

avoid muscle relaxants so phrenic nerve stimulation may be more easily identified and continuous monitoring of esophageal temperature!

Q

alpha stat pH at 18 degrees versus 37 degrees?

A

18 degrees: hypothermic alkalosis so PaCO2 diffuses into the blood and pH increases (pH~7.6 with PaCO2~16)

37 degrees: pH normalizes to 7.4

Q

acid base status with pH stat at 18 degrees versus 37 degrees?

A

18 degrees: pH stat adds CO2 to the CPB sweep gas so that pH remains normal at 7.4

37 degrees: because CO2 is added, pH is acidotic when warmed to body temperature

Current literature favors pH stat over alpha stat because acidotic pH leads to cerbral vasodilation, higher cerebral blood flow and more efficient/uniform brain cooling

Q

Beck’s triad?

A

In cardiac tamponade:

30
Q

How to prevent windsock effect during endovascular aortic aneurysm repair?

A

(1) induce hypotension (SBP <70)

(3) rapid ventricular pacing (>180 bpm) which will stop LV ejection

All maneuvers that decrease the shear force exerted on the stent-graft during deployment

31

sodium and potassium channels

32
Q

(4) HOCM or dilated cardiomyopathy

NOT Afib

34
Q

Difference between type I mobitz and type II mobitz?

A

Both are second degree AV blocks
Mobitz type I: progressive PR prolongation followed by dropped beat
Mobitz type II: PR interval unchanged but atria suddenly fails to conduct to ventricle

type II: pacemaker indicated!

35
Q

What type of shock fails to generate adequate cardiac output to provide end-organ perfusion?

A

cardiogenic shock and obstructive shock: both have decreased CO but other parameters are increased (particularly PaOP and wedge pressure in cardiogenic shock)

36
Q

Which type of shock is a failure of vasculature to generate adequate SVR?

A

distributive shock: SVR and CVP decreased but everything else fairly normal to high (CO generally high in sepsis for example)

37
Q

Which type of shock is due to intravascular volume depletion?

A

hypovolemic shock: HR and stroke volume increased to compensate for decreased CO

38
Q

How is transcutaneous pacing similar to VOO pacing?

A

Activates right ventricle (because closest to anterior chest); RA often not activated therefore NO atrial kick

greatest advantage is durability; prosthetic valves need replacement in 10-20- years; mechanical valves last longer than 20 years

greatest disadvantage: more thrombogenic and require systemic anticoagulation so avoided in childbearing age women and those at high risk of bleeding/falling
