Do not exceed 8-10°C gradient During cooling between:

A

perfusate and core temp

27
Q

Do not exceed 8-10°C gradient During rewarming between:

A

venous blood and heater cooler waterbath

28
Q

3 Neuroprotective strategies in children undergoing CPB ?

A
  • Deep hypothermia
  • Avoidance of long circulatory arrest times
  • Blood chemistries
29
Q

4 Neuroprotective strategies in children undergoing CPB that involve Blood chemistries ?

A
  • HCT levels
  • COP
  • Blood Gas Strategies
  • Hyperoxia
30
Q

Change in the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve.

Greater affinity = less efficient release of O2 at tissue level, what can we do?!?

A

Consider HYPEROXIA prior to circulatory arrest

31
Q

Changes in solubility of O2 and CO2.
As temps ____ gases become more soluble in liquid.
This means that as temp ___ the solubility of gas ____. 
Therefore more gas will be dissolved in plasma and the partial pressure will drop. Much more significant for CO2

A

Decreases

Decreases

Increases

32
Q

Values that are calculated to actual temperature when the sample is drawn ?

A

Temperature Corrected

33
Q

Sample that is measured at normothermia (37º C) ?

A

Temperature Uncorrected

34
Q

An Essential Amino Acid

that plays an important part of catalytic sites in certain enzymes ?

A

Histidine

35
Q

Histidine Contains a positivily charged ?

The charge state can dictate the structure of the active site.

A

imidazole functional group

36
Q

What is responsible for maintaining the temperature-pH relationship in Alpha-stat ?

A

protein buffering, largely due to the imidazole group of histidine

37
Q

The imidazole has a degree of dissociation (referred to as alpha) of

A

0.55 in the intracellular compartment and this remains constant despite changes in temperature (ie the pK is changing with change in temperature).

38
Q

Alphastat Hypothesis

A

The degree of ionisation (alpha) of the imidazole groups of intracellular proteins remains constant despite change in temperature.

39
Q

Rationale for pH-stat; CO2 added to the circuit maintains pH = 7.40
May be beneficial because:

A
  • CO2 may counteract oxy-hemoglobin disassociation . curve

- CO2 is a potent cerebral vasodilator and promotes high CBF

40
Q

high CBF promotes ?

A
  • More complete and homogeneous cooling

- Prevents cerebral steal due to aorto-pulmonary collateral’s

41
Q

pH-stat method

Goal:

A

Keep arterial pH = 7.40 at any given temperature.

ACTUAL or TEMPERATURE CORRECTED SAMPLE

Remember:blood gas measure samples at 37 C.
To accomplish my goal, one must allow CO2 to accumulate

42
Q

Alpha-stat method

Goal:

A

Maintain pH = 7.40 in UNCORRECTED SAMPLE eg 37C degrees.

Technically easy. Run normal ABG based upon results of sample

43
Q

Blood gas strategy for mild/moderate hypothermia?

A

Alpha-stat

44
Q

Blood gas strategy for deep hypothermia (pediatrics) ?

A

pH-stat

45
Q

Blood gas strategy for deep hypothermia (adult)

A

Alpha stat

46
Q

A

Consider hyperoxia pre-arrest

47
Q

A

cerebral hyperthermia

48
Q

Maintain hematocrits at ?

A

> 25%

49
Q

What are the 4 different modes ?

A
  • Deep Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest (DHCA)
  • Selective Antegrade Cerebral Perfusion (SACP)
  • Regional Low flow
  • Retrograde cerebral perfusion (RCP)
50
Q

The clinical team should manage adult patients undergoing moderate hypothermic CPB with ?

A

Alpha-Stat pH management

51
Q

The clinical team should manage PEDIATRIC patients undergoing DEEP hypothermic CPB with ?

A

ASD patients use Alpha Stat

52
Q

cross-over technique

A

one cools pH stat and then just prior to arrest crosses back to alpha.
