Question 5

Indications for CEA

Answer 5

–TIAs associated with ipsilateral severe carotid stenosis (>70%)
–Severe Ipsilateral stenosis in patient with incomplete stroke
–30-70% occlusion in a patient with ipsilateral symptoms

Question 6

What is luxury perfusion?

Answer 6

These blood vessels are maximally vasodilated
resulting in maximal blood flow to the area & changes
in PaCO2 have no effect on is local blood flow when
normocapnia is present

Question 7

What is cerebral steal syndrome?

Answer 7

A PaCO2 increase results in vasodilation of normal
blood vessels that will shunt blood away from the
diseased area – hypercapnia

Question 8

What is the robin hood effect

Answer 8

During times of low PaCO2 vasoconstriction occurs but the diseased vessls stay dialated robbing the healthy tissue of CBF

Question 9

Pitfalls of Shints during CEA

Answer 9

1. Trauma to the vessel
2. Embolism– Air or thrombus formation

Question 10

What is the BP goal during cross clamping during CEA?

Answer 10

20 % ↑ in BP for colateral perfusion

Question 11

During CEA what causes sudden hypotension and bradycardia ? how can this be avoided? What Complication can happen from this treatment?

Answer 11

Manipulation of the carotid bodies resulting in a baro receptro reflex

Treated with 1 % lidocain applied to the carotid bifurcation

This can result in post op hypertension

CV Preop for AAA

Answer 16

Hx of CAD? probably
Check BP in both arms use the higher for A line
HTN ↑ risk of rupture; Tight BP control

Question 17

Renal Prop AAA

Answer 17

Renal insufficiency is common in these patients secondary to HTN DM and atherosclerosis repurfusion

Usually dry d/t radiology studies and bowel prep

Question 18
