Exam 3- Dan's Jazz Flashcards
Who has higher incidence of awareness under GA?
Children
What are the 9 risk factors for having awareness under GA?
- Routine use of paralytics
- TIVA
- Production pressure
- Hemodynamic instability
- Obstetric/Cardiac/Trauma
- Patient age
- Difficult airway
- Limited cardiac reserve
- Substance abuse
What type of substance abuse is a risk factor (3)
Chronic ETOH
Anxiolytics
Cocaine
Experiences with awareness during GA and percentages (4)
Audio (48%)
Not being able to breath (48%)
Pain (30%)
PTSD (30%)
4 classes of etiologies for patient awareness:
Class 1: pt specific altered increase in anesthetic receptors
Class 2: pt can’t tolerate anesthetic
Class 3: pt hemodynamics mask awareness
Class 4: anesthetic delivery failure
Hemodynamic; 5 typical indicators of physiologic and motor response:
- High BP
- HR
- Movement
- Lacrimation
- Dilated pupils
Major criteria for high risk awareness under GA (7):
- Longer term use of narcotics/ETOH/cocaine
- EF <40%
- H/O anesthesia awareness
- H/O difficult airway
- ASA 4/5
- Aortic stenosis/ open heart surgery
- End stage lung disease
Minor criteria to be high risk of awareness under GA (4)
- Periop use of Beta Blockers
- COPD
- BMI >30
- Tobacco 2 packs/day
Prevention for awareness under GA (5)
- Premed with versed
- Frequent machine checks
- Insure pt is asleep prior to intubation
- Concerned when giving BB or antiHTN
- Avoid paralysis unless needed
Is assist-control ventilation (ACV) desirable for patients who breathe rapidly, why?
NO because may induce both hyperinflation and respiratory alkalosis
Each breath is either an assist or control breath, bu they are all of the same volume
Assist control ventilation (ACV)
Guarantees a certain number of breaths, but pt breaths are partially their own, reducing the risk of hyperinflation or alkalosis
Synchronized intermittent-mandatory ventilation (SIMV)
Disadvantage of SIMV:
Increased work of breathing and tendency to reduce CO (which prolong ventilator dependency)
Which ventilator should be used for pt who has LV dysfunction:
ACV
When is pressure-control ventilator preferred:
Pt with neuromuscular disease
Variation of CPAP that releases pressure temporarily on exhalation that results in high average airway pressures
Airway pressure release ventilation
Does APRV require more or less sedation?
More
Volume target backup is added to a pressure assist-control mode
Pressure regulated volume control (PRVC)
- Clinician sets the percentage of work of breathing
- Positive feedback loop
- Compliance and resistance calculated using intermittent end-inspiratory and end-expiratory Pasteur maneuvers
Proportional assist ventilation
Low levels of PEEP are most dangerous in with pts:
Hypovolemia and cardiac dysfunction
PEEP is indicated clinically for (3):
- Low volume ventilation cycles
- FiO2 requirements >.60 (stiff, diffuse lay injured lungs; ARDS)
- Obstructive lung disease
Who do you NOT use PEEP on?
Pneumonia; affect healthy tissue and worsen oxygenation
How to see effect on PEEP?
Peak inspiratory pressure (PIP)
-if PIP increases less than added PEEP=PEEP improved compliance of lungs
Ways PEEP can be monitored (2)
PIP
PaO2/FiO2 ratio (increase)
Prone ventilation may improve what?
Oxygenation by redistributing pulmonary blood flow
When is prone not good?
Neurosurgery
2 absolute contraindications of prone positioning:
- Unmonitored or increased ICP
2. Unstable vertebral fractures
Respiratory rate greater than 4x the normal value (>150breaths/min) and very small tidal volumes
High frequency oscillatory ventilation
What is high frequency oscillatory ventilation referred to as and why?
Lung protective ventilation
-reduce vent associated lung injury (ARDS and acute lung injury)
Combines conventional cycles with high frequency percussion
-conventional ventilation and HFPV with a high frequency of 400-800 cycles/min
High frequency percussive ventilation
