Q

What are the 3 conclusions of the peditratic cpg solutions study?

A
  1. Myocardial protection techniques still remained highly variable among congenital heart surgeons
  2. Perception that del nido and custodial solutions can offer appropriate myocardial protection for longer intervals w/ decreased repeat dosing
  3. observational study should be considered

Q

Whats the Del Nido Solution dose in peds to maintain arrest

A

20 mL/kg

21
Q

Whats the Del Nido solution dose in peds for maintainance

A

10 mL/kg

22
Q

What should you deliver Del Nido solution at?

A

90-180 mL/min

23
Q

Never give custodial more than how long?

A

up to 2 hours

24
Q

HTK

A

Histidine Tryptophan Ketoglutarate

25
Q

The addition of _______ may provide a protective effect on the hypoxic- ischemic immature heart.

A

Magnesium

26
Q

What effect does magnesium have?

A

Antiarrythmic, inhibited entry of calcium into the myocytes, and decreased uptake of sodium by myocytes during ischemia

27
Q

Magnesium is exchanged for __________ during reperfusion.

A

Calcium

28
Q

What development has significantly altered blood usage and post op care in pediatrics?

A

MUF

29
Q

What is the purpose of MUF?

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 significant advance for pediatric perfusionists

30
Q

MUF utilizes _______________ at a specific point post CPB.

A

a hemoconcentrator

31
Q

Who developed MUF?

A

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

32
Q

Why are MUF improvements not sustained 24 hours after the operation?

A

Pulmonary compliance is affected both by excess fluid form the hemodilutional effect of bypass, as well as the systemic inflammatory response

decreases total body water and removes inflammatory cytokines. Initiation of systemic inflammatory response most likely occurs during rewarming

Can’t overcome capillary leak caused by activated ongoing inflammatory response

33
Q

MUF starts ________ (before/after) inflammatory cascade has been activated.

A

After

34
Q

When is MUF performed?

A

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

35
Q

In MUF, where is the ultrafilter?

A

Interposed in the CPB circuit between the aortic arterial line and the venous.

36
Q

After weaning from CPB, how is the blood removed?

A

From the patient via the aortic cannula and fed through the ultrafilter; outlet of the ultrafilter is fed to the RA of the patient

37
Q

Blood flow through the ultrafilter approximates what?

A

20 mL/kg/min max

38
Q

When suction is applied to the filter port of the ultrafilter, what is the ultrafiltration rate?

A

100 to 150 mL/min

39
Q

What pressure is maintained constant in MUF to achieve continued hemodynamic stability in the patient?

A

Left atrial or right atrial pressure is maintained

40
Q

When does ultrafiltration stop?

A

10-20 minutes OR HCT 40-50

But in reality, when the impatient surgeon makes you.

41
Q

What are the beneficial effects of MUF?

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

42
Q

What are the arguments against MUF?

A

Possible air embolism
Circuit complexity and cost
Prolonged exposure to foreign surface
Patient can be concentrated before coming off CPB

43
Q

Where does air enter in MUF?

A

Venous side

44
Q

Endpoints of hemofiltration vary, but can be defined by? (3)

A

Time
Volume
Hematocrit

45
Q

In the postoperative period, patients receiving MUF have __________ (smaller/larger) increases in total-body weight.

A

Smaller

46
Q

In addition to decreasing edema, hemofiltration _________ (increases/decreases) HCT. What does this translate to?

A

Increases; translates to increased oxygen-carrying capacity

47
Q

Removed fluids also contain what?

A

Inflammatory mediators and vasoactive substances

48
Q

Clinical studies have demonstrated that MUF is associated with: (4)

A

Increased ventricular systolic function
Imrpoved cerebral blood flow, cerebral metabolic activity, cerebral oxygen delivery
Pulmonary function, decreased post op ventilation
Decreased postop bleeding, chest-tube drainage, pleural effusions

= Short hospital stays.
