Q

Pathophysiology of Atherosclerosis: Primary injury and everything else

A

Primary injury occur as low density lipoprotein and apolipoprotein-B containing lipoproteins invade the vascular endothelium and become proinflammatory
As the inflammatory cascade starts, the subendothelial space is filled with atherogenic lipoproteins and macrophages, which form foam cells.

Q

What are foam cells?

A

They form the atheromatous core of a plaque, which becomes necrotic and further enhances the inflammatory process.

Q

Ischemia-reperfusion injury in the vascular surgery patient: fundamental concepts

A

Reduction or interruption of blood flow stop delivery of O2, –> glucose, and other essential nutrients that are needed for AEROBIC metabolism and therefore generation of ATP is slowed. When there is no ATP cellular processes fail and cellular integrity is lost. The duration of ischemia correlates directly with the degree of cellular injury. Toxic metabolites of anaerobic metabolism accumulate in the ischemic region. Upon reperfusion, toxic metabolites are released into the circulation.

374
Q

What is the PRINCIPAL RISK FACTOR for TRALI?

A

The presence of HLA antibodies in DONOR PLASMA

375
Q

In TRALI, 1st theory:

Q

In TRALI ,2nd theory : Two-hit model

A

The first hit involves neutrophil sequestration in the lungs due to a trigger (surgery, massive transfusion, infection). Upon receiving a transfusion with donor antibodies against HLA or HNA subtypes, the antibodies activate the sequestered neutrophils causing neutrophil-mediated lung injury.

407
Q

A

High protein content

408
Q

Why should hypotension be avoided in the patient undergoing carotid endarterectomy surgery?

A

There is a loss of autoregulation in ischemic areas of the brain. Because perfusion in these areas is pressure dependent, hypotension should be avoided.

409
Q

Postoperative hypertension may be due to

A

surgical denervation of the ipsilateral carotid baroreceptor, chemical denervation of the baroreceptor OR carotid sinus dysfunction from surgical trauma.

410
Q

When the clamp is removed after repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm, would you increase or decrease minute
ventilation? Does this change in minute ventilation promote “steal” or “inverse steal” (Robin Hood effect)?

A
A temporary increase in minute ventilation may be useful for the control of acidosis. The hypocarbia associated with increased ventilation would tend to constrict vessels and decrease perfusion to tissues located proximal to
the clamp, thereby diverting blood to ischemic tissues (those tissues distal to the clamp). This is inverse steal, 
 Hood effect (robbing from the rich and giving to the poor).
