A

44
Q

custodial single administration lasts

A

45
Q

each component of histidine tryptophan ketoglutarate are used for what

A

histidine:buffer against acidosis during XC. tryptophan: cell membrane stabilizer. ketoglutarate: improves atp production during reperfusion

46
Q

The addition of magnesium may provide

A

a protective effect on the hypoxic-ischemic immature heart.

47
Q

protective effect of mag. due to

A

antiarrhythmic effect of magnesium, inhibited entry of calcium into the myocytes, and decreased uptake of sodium by myocytes during ischemia.

48
Q

during reperfusion mag is exchanged for

A

calcium

49
Q

MUF is huge advance because

A

allow recovery of the pump blood for the patient, while allowing the patient to be in a hemodynamic state to accept the volume is the a significant advance for pediatric perfusionists

50
Q

MUF developed by

A

Mr. Martin Elliott (Great Ormand Street/Hospital for Sick Children London UK) in 1985

51
Q

What’s really happening at the hemoconcentrator level 7 things

A

A. Raising Hct
B. Extravascular fluid crosses ( rapid, large increase in COP and OSMO)
C. Removes inflammatory mediators
D. C-Reactive Proteins cross
E.Protein reactive cytokines cross
F.Complement activation factors cross (C3a, sC56-9, C3 bound)
G. Pulmonary effects > Systemic effects with IL-6, IL-8, and TNF

52
Q

The principal finding of multiple studies is that :

MUF after CPB in infants did result

A

in immediate improvements in both static and dynamic pulmonary compliance, but the effect was not sustained after admission to the PICU or 24 hours after the operation.

53
Q

MUF

WHY ARE THESE IMPROVEMENTS NOT SUSTAINED?

A

A possible reason is that pulmonary compliance is affected both by excess fluid from the hemodilutional effect of bypass,
(As well as by the systemic inflammatory response)

54
Q

MUF

WHY ARE THESE IMPROVEMENTS NOT SUSTAINED? 2

A

Ultrafiltration after bypass decreases total body water and removes inflammatory cytokines. However, the initiation of the systemic inflammatory response most likely occurs during rewarming.
(MUF starts after the inflammatory cascade has been activated)

55
Q

MUF

WHY ARE THESE IMPROVEMENTS NOT SUSTAINED? 3

A

It may be that the salutary effects of hemoconcentration and removal of water after bypass by MUF are unable to overcome the ongoing effects of capillary leak possibly caused by an activated ongoing inflammatory response.

56
Q

The technique of MUF is performed after

A

CPB is complete and allows filtration of both the patient and remaining contents of the CPB circuit, including the venous reservoir.

57
Q

Using the MUF technique, an ultrafilter is interposed in the CPB circuit between

A

the aortic arterial line and the venous After weaning from CPB, the blood is removed from the patient via the aortic canula and fed through the ultrafilter. The outlet of the ultrafilter is fed to the right atrium of the patient.

58
Q

Blood flow through the ultrafilter approximates

A

20mL/kg/min max.

59
Q

during MUF suction is applied to the_____ which can result in a filtration rate of ______

A

filter port of the ultrafilter, 100 to 150 mL per minute.

60
Q

Ultrafiltration is carried out with the end point being either

A

ime (10–20 minutes) or the achievement of a hematocrit value of approximately 40-50.

61
Q

Beneficial effects of MUF (5):

A

total body water is reduced as a direct result of removing the ultrafiltrate.
Reduced edema
Reduced hospital stay
Reduced ventilation times
Reduced incidence of pleural and pericardial effusions.

62
Q

Arguments against MUF(6):

A

Possible air embolism Remember that air would be entering
venous side
Circuit complexity and cost
Prolonged exposure to foreign surface
“Patient can be concentrated before coming of CPB”
What are your endpoints?

63
Q

Endpoints of hemofiltration vary

A

mong institutions and can be defined by time, volume, or hematocrit.

64
Q

In the postoperative period, patients receiving MUF have smaller increases in

A

total-body weight

65
Q

In addition to decreasing edema, hemofiltration increases

A

the hematocrit, which translates into increased oxygen-carrying capacity.

66
Q

Removed fluids also contain

A

inflammatory mediators and vasoactive substances.

67
Q

CLINICAL STUDIES HAVE DEMONSTRATED THAT MUF IS ASSOCIATED WITH

A

Improved cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral metabolic
activity, cerebral oxygen delivery Pulmonary function, decreased postoperative ventilation
Decreased postoperative bleeding, chest-tube drainage, pleural effusions
They equal short hospital stays.
