24
Q

vasopressin preparation

A

5 vials (100units) in 100mL bag to make 1unit/mL

25
Q

when is vasopressin popular?

A

shock states when in refractory to NE

26
Q

where should vasopressin be administered?

A

central line

27
Q

what are the two types of calcium

A

calcium chloride

calcium gluconate

28
Q

when is calcium considered

A

treat hypocalcemia due to massive transfusion

increase cardiac contractility (after cardioplegia)

29
Q

which calcium can be given peripherally?

A

calcium gluconate

30
Q

which calcium must be given through a central line

A

calcium chloride

31
Q

calcium gluconate is ___ as potenet as calcium chloride

A

1/3

32
Q

what is the time frame that calcium should be given over?

A

10minutes

33
Q

if running potassium through a peripheral line is can be run up to

A

10mEq/hr

34
Q

if running potassium through a central line it can be run up to

A

20mEq/hr

35
Q

Nitroglycerin (NTG) effects

A 
decreases BP (vasodilator)
short onset, short duration
36
Q

when is NTG given

A

coronary ischemia
decreases myocardial oxugen demand (decrease preload and afterload)
increases myocardial oxygen supply (coronary vasodilation)
increases pulmonary shunting

37
Q

nipride

A

a more potent version of NTG, used when NTG is ineffective.

38
Q

what is special about nipride

A

it is sensitive to light and it should be in a UV protective bag, provided in box

39
Q

cardene

A

calcium channel blocker that is an alternative to nitroglycerin

40
Q

cardene preparation

A

5mg (2mL) in 8mL N/S to make

0.5mg/mL

41
Q

cardene lower BP bolus

A

0.25-0.5mg

42
Q

cardene infusion preparation

A

25mg in 250mL bag to make 100mcg/mL

43
Q

cardene infusion rate

A

5-15mg/hr

44
Q

insulin danger

A

bc its high concentration of 100units/mL

45
Q

when bolusing insulin what syringe do you use

A

TB syringe

46
Q

insulin infusion preparation

A

1mL (100units) in 100mL bag

47
Q

when do you give antiarrhythmics

A

off pump CABG when lifting heart

CPB prior to cardioplegia washout

48

how fast can you give magnesium?

A

slowly over 10min

49
Q

how fast can you give amiodarone?

A

slowly over 10min

50
Q

amicar

A

antifibrinolytic that helps preserve clotting factors as blood goes through CPB machine and reduces bleeding post bypass

51
Q

amicar bolus doses

A

1vial is 5g (20mL)
liberty- 5g bolus prior to incision
MAHI- 10g bolus prior to incision

52
Q

A

2 vials in 500mL LR

50mL per hr (1g)

53
Q

desmopressin (DDAVP)

A

synthetic antidiuretic hormone (ADH)

54
Q

when is DDAVP indicated?

A

diabetes insipidus

coagulopathies during surgery

55
Q

what does DDAVP stimulate the release of?

A

vWF and increases factor VIII

56
Q

when is DDAVP usually used for cardiac?

A

end of operation if oozing after protamine administration

57
Q

how fast can DDAVP be adminitered?

A

slowly bc it can cause hypotension
