Cardiac Anesthesia Flashcards
Prophylaxis of infective endocarditis
Dental procedures in
- Prosthetic cardiac valves
- Previous IE
- Several types of congenital heart disease (CHD)
- Cardiac transplantation recipients who developed valvulopathy
Hypothermia
- Plt sequestered reversibly in portal circulation
- Plt # back to normal w/I 1 hr
- Plt function & life span normal
Energy for one MET
One MET=energy expended during 1 min at rest = 3.5 ml oxygen/kg/min
CHD w/ right to left intracardiac shunt
- Tetralogy of Fallot
- Eisenmenger’s syndrome
- Ebstein’s malformation of tricuspid valve
- Pulmonary atresia w/ VSD
- Tricuspid atresia
- PFO
ECG
- examing more than one lead is important
PAC migration (922 ?)
- common (3-5 cm distally) withdrawal 3-5 cm before bypass
2. wedge position—>increase in PAP (r/o inadequate ventricular venting–>PAP w/o change after withdraw
malposition of aortic cannula
unilateral facial blanching
malposition of venous cannula
- too far into SVC (obstruction of R innominate vein) or
IVC (abd distention) - facial or scleral edema (bulging sclerae) or poor blood return to bypass circuit
transposition of great vessels
- failure of truncus arteriosus to rotate–>aorta from RV, PA from LV
- induction: volatile—->slow; IV—>faster—>decrease dose
Fontan procedure
- anastomosis: RA appendage—>PA
- tricuspid atresia, pulmonary stenosis, pulmonary artery atresia; hypoplastic left heart syndrome (–>increase PBF–>prepare convert RV to systemic ventricle)
metabolic rate in CPB
Each degree Celsius decrease—>5 to 8% decline
Itra-aortic balloon pump (IABP)
- Inflation immediately after closure of aortic valve (diastole)—>increase DBP & coronary BF
- Deflating just before ventricular systole—> Reduce aortic pressure and afterload—>enhance LV EF, reduce wall tension & VO2
Afterload reduction beneficial
- AI
- MV
- CHF
- PDA
Protamine
- From sperm of fish (certain)
- basic
- specific antagonist of heparin
- 1.3 mg/100 U of heparin
- Can bind plt & coagulation factors—>anticoagulant
- Allergy: NPH insulin
- Hypotension
Primary determinants of myocardial O2 consumption, from most to least important
HR>afterload>preload
Plusus paradoxus
- Pulsus paradoxus: inspiratory fall in SBP>10 mmHg<—cardiac tamponade
- occasionally: severe airway obstruction, RV infaction
pulsus parvus vs pulsus tardus
- Pulsus parvus: diminished pulse
- Pulsus tardus: delayed upstroke
3, In AS
Pulsus alternans
- alternating smaller and larger pulse waves
2. severe LV dysfunction
Bisferiens pulse
- pulse waveform w/ 2 systolic peaks
2. AVR
ETT drugs
ALONE: Atropine, Lidocanine, Oxygen, Naloxone, Epinephrine (Vasopressin may be)
MAP
MAP = DBP +1/3 (SBP-DBP)
= 1/3 SBP + 2/3 DBP
Amiodarone
- structure similar to thyroxine—>hypo or hyperthyroidism
- prolong AP w/o change resting potential: atrial & ventrical muscle
3 Effective: recurrent SVT & VT, WPW syndrome - anti-adrenergic effect—>bradycardia, hypoTN–>may be atropine-resistant—->isoproterenol or temporary pacer
SVR
SVR=(MAP-CVP)/COx80
1. MAP & CVP: mmHg
2. CO: L/min
(1 wood = 80 dynes/sec/cm-5)
dobutamine
predominantly beta 1-agonist
