Assessing liver damage, enzymes: AST
Enzyme that exist in hepatic and extra hepatic tissues
When both liver enzymes are elevated
Ratio is considered
ALT/AST ratio < 1 nonalcoholic steato-hepatitis NASH
2 to 4 = alcoholic liver disease.
Assessment of liver function:
ALBUMIN and INR
Synthesized exclusively by hepatocytes
Albumin
Albumin is responsible for
15% of all protein synthesis in the liver
There can be severe impairment of the synthesis capacity in the liver
INR is correlated with
liver dysfunction
Considered the reliable predictive value for survival in patients with liver disease
INR
INR is associated with the impairment of the
Hepatic synthetic function of coagulation factors.
Bilirubin is the
degradation product of hemoglobin and myoglobin.
•Total bilirubin concentration is normally
< 1 mg/dL
•Total bilirubin concentration• > 3 mg/dL =
scleral icterus
•Total bilirubin concentration• > 4 mg/dL =

Parkinsons: Deep brain stimulator placement why?
Avoid GABA agonists with deep brain stimulator placement (alter characteristic microelectrode
recordings of specific nuclei in the basal ganglia)
Parkison’s Disease levodopa therapy
Continue levodopa therapy because acute withdrawal can results in skeletal muscle rigidity which can lead to ventilation problems
Anesthesia management of Parkison’s Disease
Use opioids and DEXMEDETOMIDINE instead, but avoid respiratory depression because head frame limits ability to intubate
Avoid in Parkinson’s

Retrobulbar
Retrobulbar block Procedures
Pt instructed to look up and nasally
23G needle inserted and local injected in the muscle cone
after injection, eyelid should be closed, and digital pressure applied over the grobe to the orbit. After a few moments the eyelids should be opened and the globe inspected for akinesia.
Currently, cataract surgery most commonly performed using only
topical anesthetics (e.g., 2-4% lidocaine, 0.75% levobupivacaine, 1% ropivacaine, or 1% oxybuprocaine). Need very compliant.
Blocks- Local anesthetics should be avoided in
patients with uncontrolled movement disorders, or inability to cooperate.
EYE Surgery General anesthesia is very rare. Indications include
children, dementia, mental disability, severe anxiety, severe head tremor, or inability to lie flat (breathing issues)
Coughing or bucking can
increase intraocular pressure by 40 to 60 mmHg which can lead to optic nerve ischemia
Contraindications include
uncontrolled movement disorders, claustrophobia, chronic cough, symptomatic gastric reflux, inability to lie flat, inability to communicate or cooperate, or patient refusal.
Epidural hematoma occurs when the
middle cerebral artery via a skull fracture
Prognosis better in this condition than acute subdural hematoma-Looks like a lemon or eye,

Sustained HTN
Increased ICP
swelling indicative of aneurysm rupture
Anesthesia management to minimize ICP
Give mannitol 20% 0.25-0.5g/kg , lasix 0.3mg/kg and dexamethasone 16mg IV
Stop N2O , ensure ISO or SEVO in use
Induction in anesthesia management to minimize ICP
Induction with propofol 1-2mg/kg or etomidate 0.3-0.6mg/kg
Anesthetic drugs on CBF
IV drugs such as propofol, etomidate, benzodiazepine and thiopental decreases CBF by virtue of drug induced decrease in CMRO2, and subsequent flow metabolism coupling.
Autoregulation and PaCO2
Responsiveness remain intact with these agents vasoconstriction is caused by these meds and is the resonse for the decrease in CBF and CMRO2
OPIODS and CMRO2
Opiods have very little effect on CRMO2, CBF, autoregulation and PaCO2 responsiveness
Ketamine and CBF
It increases CBF and CMRO2 with little effect on autoregulation or PACO2 responsiveness.
Volatile anesthetics and CBF
Iso, sevo, and dest are direct cerebral vasodilators.
