HTN - definition
140/90 or higher
Minimum 2 occasions
At least 1-2 weeks apart
PreHTN definition
120-139/80-89
HTN is major cause of
IHD CHF CVA Arterial aneurysm ESRD
95% of all HTN
Primary HTN
Primary HTN
Essential HTN
No identifiable cause
Primary HTN Pathophysiology
- Autonomic NS - dysregulation of baro/chemoreceptor pathways (RAAS)
- Dysregulation of classical RAAS - elevated renin, angioII, increased aldosterone
- Endogenous vasodilator/vasoconstrictor balance-oxidative stress—> NPs released
Highest risk population - HTN
African American males
Secondary HTN causes
Renovascular dx Hyperaldosteronism Aortic coarctation Pheochromocytoma Cushing’s syndrome Renal parynchymal disease Pregnancy induced HTN
Tx primary HTN
Lifestyle modifications, Rx tx
Associated with primary HTN
Insulin resistance Dyslipidemia, HL IHD, angina, LVH CHF, CVA PVD, renal insuff. ETOH, tobacco, obesity, OSA
HTN emergency
BP > 180/120 + evidence of target organ damage
HTN emergency Tx
1st hour: Lower BP 20%
2-6h: more gradually
**d/t rebound cerebral perfusion
HTN urgency
BP severely elevated (no evidence of target organ damage)
H/A, epistaxis, anxiety
Evidence of target organ damage in HTN emergency
Pulm edema Encephalopathy LV failure Aortic dissection Renal insufficiency PVD, CVA, CVdx, CHF, LVH, Angina
HTN Emergency - proceed, delay, cancel surgery?
Postpone
HTN emergency Tx Rx
DOC: Sodium nitroprusside: 0.5-10 mcg/kg/min
Labatelol - used for any type of HTN emergency
Alternates: nicardipine, fenoldopam, esmolol
Operative changes that can exaggerate BP swings
Positioning
PPV
Blood loss
What DBP would change elective surgical plans?
DBP 110-115 — postpone surgery
Pharmacological management - HTN
ACEI or ARBS
HTN medication management in preop period
ACEI - hold 24-48 h before surgery (“pril”)
ARBs - hold 24 hours before surgery (“sartan”)
Pt accidentally took ACEI day of surgery. Risks?
Blunted RAAS; blunted ANS (induction)
*** vasopressin system is left
Pt accidentally took ARB day of surgery. Risks?
Refractory to ephedrine/phenylephrine
May require volume + pressors
Risk of induction - HTN patients
- Hypotension - d/t peripheral vasodilation, dec. IV fluid volume
- HTN - d/t direct laryngoscopy
Risk of HTN during induction
MI
