Q

UA/NSTEMI diagnosis

A

3 principal presentations:

  1. Angina at rest ( > 20 min)
  2. chronic angina pectoris that is more easily provoked
  3. New-onset angina (severe)
    * often presents with arrhythmias

Q

UA/NSTEMI ECG

A

Significant ST-segment depression in 2+ leads
+/or
Deep symmetric t-wave inversion

28
Q

UA/NSTEMI Tx

A

Decrease O2 demand
Bed rest, O2, analgesia, BB, CaBlockers, ASA/clopidogrel, heparin

NO THROMBOLYTIC THERAPY

29
Q

Cardiac risk factors in pts undergoing elective major non cardiac surgery

A
  • high risk surgery
  • IHD
  • CHF
  • CVA
  • IDDM
  • Cr > 2 mg/dL
  • more risk factors = greater risk of complications
30
Q

Hold ACE inhibitors when?

A

24h prior to surgery

31
Q

Intraop events that decrease O2 delivery

A
Tachycardia
Decreased DBP
Hypocapnia 
Anemia
Arterial hypoxemia 
Shift of oxyhem —> L
Coronary artery spasm
32
Q

Intraop events that increase O2 requirements

A

Increased:

HR, BP, SNS, contractility, pre/afterload

33
Q

Intraop MI - Tx

A

Nitroglycerine

If needed: sympathomimetics (restore coronary pressure) + fluids (restore bp)

34
Q

Preferred volatile with intraop MI

A

Sevoflurane

35
Q

Evaluation of cardiac reserve

A

Exercise tolerance

36
Q

Cardiomegaly

A

Heart > 50% thoracic cage in chest radiograph

37
Q

Valve replacement that requires long-term anticoagulation

A

Mechanical (prosthetic)

38
Q

Pt cannot tolerate anticoagulation - which type of valve replacement do they most likely have?

A

Bioprosthetic

39
Q

Pt on Coumadin - major surgery planned. When to hold?

A

3-5 days preoperatively

IV/SubQ heparin or LMWH until day prior or day of surgery

40
Q

When is antbx prophylaxis recommended?

A
  1. Dental procedures (+ gingival/periapical/perf of oral mucosa)
  2. invasive procedures (incision/biopsy of resp/infected skin/skin structures/musculoskeletal)

**NOT GI/GU

*Exceptions: Congenital heart dx, cardiac transplant (cardiac valvulopathy), immunocompromised

41
Q

Commonly associated with mitral stenosis

A

Afib, pulmonary edema

over time—> pHTN, RHF

42
Q

Pts with mitral stenosis should be taking

A

Anticoagulation

Prevent embolic stroke: 7-15%

43
Q

A

Echo

Valve area < 1.5 cm^2

44
Q

Opening snap - diastole (murmur)

45
Q

Pulmonary edema - common in mitral valve stenosis when?

A

Afib, sepsis, pregnancy

46
Q

Mitral Stenosis - risks associated

A

High risk for systemic thromboembolism - should be on anticoagulation especially if Afib

47
Q

Mitral Stenosis - ECG

A

p wave notch (LA hypertrophy)

Not always

48
Q

Mitral Stenosis Tx

A
  1. Diuretics
  2. HR control (increased HR=increased LA pressure/decreased LV filling)
  3. Anticoagulation
  4. Surgery: symptomatic +/- pHTN
49
Q

Anesthetic Rx - Mitral Stenosis

A

Preop: anxiolytics to reduce tachy
Induction: balanced or nitrous/narcotics
*avoid ketamine, atracurium
Resume anticoagulation asap

A

Overestimate LV filling pressure

51
Q

Size of___ wave in PAOP correlates with _____

A

V wave

Magnitude of mitral regurgitation

52
Q

Mitral regurgitation - anesthetic goals

A

Afterload reduction
*CO - maintained (via increased HR, decreased SVR)
I.e. nitroprusside gtt to decrease SVR

53
Q

Induction Rx - Mitral regurgitation

A

Etomidate/Ketamine are okay — do not want to decrease HR
