Q

Blood is pumped back into the arterial system via the cannula after being ______ and cleared of ____.

A

oxygenated

CO2

28
Q

When they are sewing the aorta cannnula in, what do we need to be doing?

A

decrease BP from 160 to 100 systolic

29
Q

Where are arterial cannulas normal placed? (3)

A

ascending aorta, distal to the PA (most common)

axillary artery

femoral artery

30
Q

Where are dual or tri-stage venous cannulas normal placed?

A

Can be placed in any large vein that will allow gravity drainage of blood to the reservoir.

Cannula placed through right atrial appendage and down into SVC and IVC.

31
Q

In what cases do we place venous cannulas? (3)

A

Sternotomy

CABG

Aortic valve replacement

32
Q

What is bicaval cannulation?

A

separate cannulas in the SVC and IVC

(used for open chamber procedures, VSD repairs, transplants)

33
Q

When is bicaval cannulation used?

In what cases is this needed? (2)

A

When maximal drainage of the heart is needed.

Open chamber procedures, transplant

34
Q

Who places the SVC cannula when bicaval cannulation is needed and where is it placed?

A

anesthesiologist

RIJ

Note: the IVC cannula is placed in femoral.

35
Q

Where is a vent placed?

A

A catheter typically placed in the right upper pulmonary vein (RUPV) and into the left atrium.

36
Q

What is the function of a vent?

A

Vent removes blood that accumulates in the heart with a goal of preventing distention injury.

37
Q

What is a tack?

A

A tack is a smaller catheter, sometimes a 14 gauge IV, placed in the ascending aorta to facilitate clearance of intracardiac air after open chamber procedures.

IThe tack is allowed to bleed in to the pericardial well until air is cleared.

38
Q

Where is a retrograde cardioplegia catheter placed and what is it for?

A

By the surgeon into the coronary sinus directly, or percutaneously by anesthesia via RIJ with TEE.

Prevents injury to the coronary sinus by monitoring infusion pressure with the CVP transducer.

39
Q

How is cardioplegia administered?

A

antegrade or retrograde

40
Q

How is antegrade catheter placed?

A

Into ascending aorta or directly into coronary artery which follows path of normal blood flow

Can be the same line as tack line.

41
Q

What is the direction of flow for retrograde cardioplegia?

A

Retrograde flows into coronary sinus, into coronary veins and out the aorta.

42
Q

How is temperature monitored during CPB? (3)

A

nasopharyngeal

bladder

PA

43
Q

What drugs are used to target MAP?

A

phenylepherine

vasopressin

NOT EPI because of beta agonist activity!

44
Q

On what 2 factors is target MAP based on?

A

temperature

pt baseline

45
Q

How low can Hgb trend as low as in most circumstances?

A

7

46
Q

What technique of aortic cannulation is used for major aortic surgical procedures, including aortic dissections, aneurysms and arch procedures?

A

axillary cannulation

Note: Used often.

47
Q

For a patient receiving axillary aortic cannulation, Where MUST the art line be placed to avoid neurologic damage?

A

OTHER arm or femoral artery

48
Q

What must you ensure before weaning a patient off CPB? (3)

A
  1. Ensure the pt is appropriately rewarmed
  2. Venous line is incrementally clamped to prevent blood from returning to the reservoir (blood reenters heart and ejection returns)
  3. The arterial inflow rate is decreased as the blood pressure increases.
49
Q

Heparin is a ______ charged glycosaminoglycan.

Protamine is an _____ rich base compound.

A

negatively

arginine

Note: This is a simple acid-base reaction.

50
Q

What blood products can be given during CPB?

A

RBC and FFP

Note: Platelets and cryoprecipitate and other coagulation factors are withheld until CPB is no longer needed.

51
Q

What is off pump heart surgery?

A

CABG can now be accomplished without CPB in many instances

Hemodynamic management of these patients can be difficult as we are allowing an ischemic state while grafts are completed.

TEVAR (thoracic endostent) is an example

52
Q

When do we perform off pump heart surgery?

A

valve operations such as AVR, MVR, PVR, and even TVR

TEVAR (trans endo vascular aortic repair)

53
Q

You are on CPB and the hemoglobin is 7. Which of these would lead you to transfuse?

A. Temperature 32C
B. MVO2 80
C. Reservoir volume 200ml
D. MAP 65

A

c

54
Q

Which monitor is the most important for CPB?
A. ECG
B. Arterial line
C. Temperature
D. BIS

A

b

55
Q

what is the main difference between VA and VV ECMO?

A

VA = some cardiac support

VV = clears CO2 better than it adds O2 (background ventilation needed)

56
Q

What does the CPB oxygenator do?

A

delivers O2, Co2 and Isoflurane to patient while the patient is on bypass

57
Q

What does DHCA stand for?

A

Deep Hypothermic Cardiac Arrest

  • alternative to CPB
  • commonly referred to as “circ arrest”
58
Q

how does ultrafiltration during CPB work?

A

removal of fluid via counter-current exchange (NB… can decrease electrolytes by down shifting concentration)

59
Q

what is cardioplegia and how does it work?

A

fluid is injected into the heart (antegrade or retrograde) that stops the heart from pumping.

K+ often the drug of choice. Stops heart in diastole

60
Q

when a patient is on CPB, the perfusionist is roughly equivalent to the patient’s _____ while the anesthesia team is ______

A

Perfusionist = Cardiac output

Anesthesia = SVR

61
Q

What must you always do before giving protamine?

A

ASK PERFUSIONIST

-protamine will clot CPB circuit (–> dead patient)
