Cardiovascular anesthesia Flashcards
Denise
retrograde autologus priming uses
pt blood to displace crystalloid primed pump tubing
when full flow on pump is confirmed, you should
turn vent to bag and monitor to bypass mode. Sevo off
Most difficult crawford aneurysms to remair
1 and 2
Crawford 2 aneurysm has significant risk for
paraplegia and renal failure
artery of adamkiewicz
Which dissection is a surgical emergency
acute dissection of ascending aorta
often includes aortic valve
which dissection is usually medically manaanged
descending aorta (unless ruptured or leaking)
Classic AAA triad
- hypotension
- back pain
- Pulsatile abdominal mass
higher clamp generally means
greater insult
how many posterior spinal arteries are there and what is perfused
2 posterior spinal arteries perfuse posterior 1/3 of the spinal cord
How many anterior spinal arteries are there and what is perfuse
1 anterior spinal artery
perfuses anterior 2/3 of spinal cord
Most important of paired radicular arteries
artery of adamkiewcz
What does the artery of adamkiewicz perfuse and where does it originate
anterior cord in thorocolumabr region
usually originates on left between T11 and T12
watershed areas
regions of spinal cord that have single blood supply
particularly vulnerable to ischemia
Which region of cord is highly dependent on artery supply and result
Thoracolumbar region of anterior spinal cord
interruption of radicular flow can cause ischemia/infarction
Cross clamping avove artery of adamkiewicz can cause
anterior spinal syndrom
