Q

steps to ADH release form CPB (7)

A
  1. )Hypothalamus osmoreceptor cells detect increased serum osmolarity
  2. ) posterior pituitary releases ADH due to increase serum osmolarity
  3. )vasopressin binds to kidneys allowing increased water reabsorption from urine
  4. ) increases urine osmolarity and decreases its volume
  5. )decreases serum osmolarity and increases volume
  6. )decreased serum osmolarity is detected by osmoreceptors in hypothalamus and ADH is reduced

Q

catecholmine secretion can be reduced

A

deep anesthesia vs. light, propofol infusion (4 mg/kg/hr) vs single bolus injection (.1mg/kg), high dose opioid general (fentanyl or sufentanil) general anesthesia with spinal block (bupivacaine) vs. general anesthesia

31
Q

cortisol is released in reponse

A

to stress. increases stores of sugar in liver as glycogen. increases blood sugar

32
Q

adrenocorticotropic hormone

A

promotes increased production and release of corticosteroids and cortisol. acts as appetite suppressant, anxietiomimetic and pro inflammatory

33
Q

adrenal cortical hormones are increased and how is it attenuated

A

in the initiation of bypass. increase attenuated with deeper levels of anesthesia and addition of thoracic epidural

34
Q

carbohydrate metabolism regulated by

A

insulin, glucagon, cortisol, growth hormone, epinephrine

35
Q

hyperglycemia is worse with

A

hypothermia

36
Q

hypoinsulinemia is worse with

A

hypothermia

37
Q

type 1 dm do not require

A

insulin doses

38
Q

type 2 dm do require

A

insulin doses

39
Q

atrial natriuretic factor and is antagonist of what

A

incredibly efficacious vasodilator . antagonist of aldosterone

40
Q

anf peptides released by

A

cardiac atria

41
Q

anf release triggered by

A

atrial distension. b adrenergic stimulation, angiotensin 2, hypernatremia, endothelins

42
Q

ANF physiologic causes

A

increase GFR, inhibits renin release, reduced plasma concentrations of aldosterone, antagonize renal vasoconstrictors, reduce ABP

43
Q

ANF PREVENTS

A

scarring of ischemic myocardium and has other anti ischemic effects on cardiomyocytes and vascular endothelium

44
Q

ANF cancentrations are reduced during

A

hypothermia and cross clamping

45
Q

ANF conentrations rise during

A

rewarming and post bypass. mormal relation between factor conc. and pressure lost during bypass

46
Q

renin angiotensin aldosterone regulates

A

atrial pressure, intravascular volume, electrolyte balance

47
Q

what secretes renin

A

juxtaglomerular apparatus due to Na depletion, decreased BV, reduced renal perfusion

48
Q

ACE inhibitors and ARBS temporarily

A

breaks the linkage between Renin angiotensin aldosterone and hypo or hypertension during immediately post bypass

49
Q
