Q

AORTIC CROSS CLAMP releases serum ______, causing ______ and ______ _____. This is manifested by _______ in SVR.

A

serum LACTATE, vasodilation and vasomotor paralysis. DECREASED SVR

17
Q

AA reconstruction APPROACH? Advantages? Disadvantages?

A

TRANSPERITONEAL INCISION. Advantages: exposure of infrarenal and iliac vessels, visible intraabdominal organs, rapid closure… Disadvantages: fluid losses, prolonged ileus, post-op incisional pain & pulmonary complications.

18
Q

50% of patients who req. AA reconstruction have ___ (dx) and it is the biggest risk factor for long-term survivability.

A

CAD

19
Q

_______ _______ testing is perhaps one of the most reliable methods for evaluating the extent of myocardial dysfunction associated with CAD and for predicting coronary events after vascular surgery.

A

Dipyridamole thallium

20
Q

Dipyridamole thallium is key b/c it does not rely on _______ to detect areas of myocardial hypoperfusion.

A

EXERCISE

21
Q

What anesthetic technique is ideal for AAA reconstruction? Why?

A

The McDizzle technique… A balanced technique using a combination of high-dose narcotics with nitrous oxide can be used as the anesthetic for major vascular surgery. Why? B/C of the CV stability provided by opioids and B/C IAA depress myocardium and cause hemodynamic instabilty.

22
Q

Best induction agent for patients w/ poor cardiac function/limited cardiac reserve?

A

etomidate

23
Q

In CAD patients, increases in PAOP and decreases in CO are treated w/ NG. Why?

A

decreases PRELOAD and decreases myocardial O2 DEMAND

24
Q

The more proximal the cross clamp is place on aorta, the _________ the severity of hemodynamic responses.

A

GREATER

25
Q

what do you expect when cross clamp is released? Prevented by doing what just before release?

A

declamping shock syndrome (severe hypotension and reduction in CO)… preventing via VOLUME LOADING to raise CVP 3-5mmHg or raising PAOP 3-4mmHg. Give HCO3 w/ acidosis.

26
Q

What does Mannitol do for renal function vs. CPB priming agent?

A

Renal: preserves renal function via osmotic effect (incapable of being reabsorbed from the renal tubule, resulting in decreased water and Na+ reabsorption/excretion thus lowering ECF)
CPB: the solution prevents the swelling of endothelial cells in the kidney, which may have otherwise reduced blood flow to this area and resulted in cell damage (also preserving renal blood flow)

27
Q

Renal cooling is suggested for ischemic periods >____minutes. What is it?

A

flushing kidneys w/ iced electrolyte perfusate (contains heparin and glucose)

28
Q

3 layers of arterial wall?

A

tunica adventia, tunica media, tunica intima

29
Q

dissection vs. aneurysm

A 
dissection = intima tear only w/ blood flowing along aorta's longitudinal axis 
aneurysm = all 3 layers of arterial wall
30
Q

which type of lesions (aneurysm) is more likely to rupture and thus require surgical intervention? A or B

A

A, B is managed medically w/ arterial dilators and beta blockers

31
Q

why would a complete neurologic assessment be important prior to thoracic aorta surgery?

A

paraplegia d/t poor arterial flow… hoarseness secondary to RLN damage (wraps around aorta remember)

32
Q

For any kind of aorta surgery, what special arterial monitoring is preferred?

A

R radial arterial b/c L SC bloodflow may be compromised during surgery… femoral arterial lines allow monitoring of lower extremity perfusion (in conjunction w/ R radial)

33
Q

spinal cord injury risk increases ____ minutes after aortic cross clamping

A

45

34
Q

one method that is proven to prevent spinal cord ischemia is

A

CSF drainage

35
Q

formula for spinal cord perfusion pressure

A

arterial pressure minus CSF pressure

36
Q

renal protection agents like mannitol and LASIX should be given __ minutes prior to clamping?

A

20-30

37
Q

one-lung ventilation is specific to which aortic surgical procedure

A

thoracic

38
Q

EVAR stands for? Procedure? Benefits?

A

endovascular aortic aneursym repair… EVAR involves deployment of an endovascular stent graft within the aortic lumen. The graft restricts blood flow to the portion or the aorta where the aneurysm exists… potential explanations for the absence of spinal cord complications are (1) no thoracic aortic cross-clamping and (2) no prolonged periods of extreme hypotension

39
Q

EVAR anesthetic considerations

A

GA and be prepared to convert to an open procedure
