Exam 2 Flashcards
The body compensates for heart valve disease how? (3)
SNS activation
Increasing intravascular volume
Modified chamber dimension
Heart valve disease is associated with two things?
Abnormal ventricular volume loading
Decrease in forward flow
Aortic stenosis pressure volume loops characteristically have higher/lower intravascular pressure-volume relationships
HIGHER
Aortic regurgitation pressure volume loops characteristically have higher/lower ventricular volume/pressure and lack and isovolumic ________ component
HIGHER
VOLUME
RELAXATION
What is concentric hypertrophy? And What two valve disease does it occur in?
Concentric is when the muscle is LARGER, but can only hold small volume
AORTIC STENOSIS and MITRAL STENOSIS
What are pathologic features of aortic stenosis? (3)
Concentric ventricular hypertrophy
Pressure overload/high LV tension
Increased MVO2
What is severe/critical aortic stenosis associated with? (3)
Aortic valve area < 1 cm
Aorta/LV Gradient > 40 mmHg
Peak aortic jet velocity > 4 m/s
What two monitors should symptomatic aortic stenosis or NYHA III-IV should have for major surgery?
Arterial line
PAC or TEE
What are some hemodynamic goals in patients with aortic stenosis? (3)
Maintenance of slow or normal heart rate
Normal to high SVR
Preservation of LV contractility
Anesthetic considerations prior to cardiopulmonary bypass include?
Assessment of aorta for plaque
Heparinization (300-400 units/Kg)
ACT > 400 seconds
LV preload should be normal/high/low in Aortic stenosis?
Normal
Monitor fluid totals, LV usually underfilled
FIXED SV
Heart rate should be high/normal or low/normal in aortic stenosis?
Low/normal
Balance CO with MVO2; aggressively treat rhythm disturbances, especially ventricular
Give K, Mag, Esmolol or Metoprolol
Contractility should be low/normal or high/normal in aortic stenosis?
High/normal
Maintain as LV compensates for stenotic valves with increased contractility
If aortic valve stenosis is less than <0.6 cm, what kind of monitor would you need in the room?
DEFIBRILLATOR
What are some concerns for aortic stenosis?
Monitor for MI, especially post op
AVOID REGIONAL
CPR is ineffective
What is the best TEE window/view for assessing ventricular function and filling?
Transgastric view
Hemodynamic goals of POST-CPB in patients with aortic stenosis include? (3)
Maintenance of optimal LV filling
Sinus rhythm
Judicious use of inotropes
Mediastinal Bleeding in excess of _______ ml/hr usually necessitates __________ in the OR
300
Re-exploration
Cerebral protection during CIRC arrest include? (4)
Profound hypothermia (as low as 32 C)
Ice to head
Propofol infusion
Monitoring of cerebral oxygen saturation
What are there 3 clinical features of HCM (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy)?
Dyspnea
Angina
Syncope
Sometimes sudden death
What are some anesthesia consideration for HOCM (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy)? (4)
Maintenance of adequate intravascular volume
Increased SVR
Myocardial depression (Beta/Ca channel blockers)
Deep anesthesia
What two things are affected due to HOCM?
Interventricular septum
Left ventricular outflow tract (aortic valve is compressed) unable to get flow out
LV preload should be high or low of HOCM?
High
Maintain adequate preload to avoid MR (paradoxical due to septal anterior motion)
Heart rate should be high/normal or low/normal in HOCM?
Low/normal
Avoid increases in HR or contractility and SAM increase
Contractility should be what in HOCM?
Low to normal
Avoid increases in contractility (Increases SAM, increases MVO2)
SVR should be LOW or HIGH in HOCM?
HIGH
Modest increase (optimizes CPP, but also improves SAM)
What monitoring should be used in HOCM?
Arterial line if symptomatic
PAC/TEE if major sx
What two things are advantageous in HOCM?
Deep anesthesia
Myocardial depression (maintain with beta/ca blocker)
What are some pathological features of aortic regurgitation? (3)
Eccentric LV hypertrophy
Volume overload
Decreased net SV
