Q

Ultrafiltration

A
  • hemoconcentration (increase [RBC])
  • removes water and low weight solutes
  • uses transmembrane CONVECTION pressure gradient across membrane
  • high to low pressure (positive pressure side to negative pressure side)

Q

Overall change in [solute] using ultrafiltration

A
  • There is none

  • BUT protein / cells / protein bound solutes not removed
    - so concentration of blood side goes up

  • If high [ ]:
    • increase PVR
    • increase renal vascular resistance (less filtration / renal volume)
    • decrease coronary blood flow
    • decrease contractility
    • stimulate releases of von Willebrand factor (clotting)

    • drop in blood volume on initiation
    • drop in LA pressure (vent)
    • hypotension
38
Q

Prevention of ADH on CPB

A
  • pulsatile flow (not really)

  • potent vasoconstrictor
40
Q

Prevention of Epi and NE on CPB

A
  • “just enough” anesthesia (deeper is better)
  • proposal infusion
  • opioid plus epidural versus opioid alone
  • anesthesia plays big role in prevention of catecholamines

A
  • Cortisol
    • stress hormone
    • corticosteroid
    • increases blood sugar
  • Adrenocorticotropic hormone
    • corticotropic
    • increases cortisol release

    • inhibits aldosterone
45
Q

ANF and CPB

A
  • [ ] reduced during … no volume in heart
  • [ ] rise during rewarm and post-op… heart fills
  • normal values lost during bypass and early post-op
46
Q

Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone

A
  • regulates BP / volume
  • Kidneys release renin when:
    • drop in Na
    • drop volume
    • low renal flow
  • Sympathetic release during pain / stress / emotion
47
Q

Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone pathway

- ACE converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II (in lungs)

48
Q

Angiotensin II

A
  • increase BP
  • vasoconstrictor
  • increase release of aldosterone
49

    • termination
    • ionized Ca reduced
    • need to increase contractility and BP
    • NOT too much… stone heart
56
Q

Mg

A
  • need to actually administer Mg to increase levels
  • needed as factor for enzymes and membrane stability
  • Albumin binds Mg and drops levels
  • hemodilution drops levels
  • takes a while to come back up (no native hormone)
  • Supplemental Mg is GOOD…suppresses arrhythmias
57
Q

K

A
  • changes caused by:
    • cardioplegia
    • anesthesia
    • prime
    • renal function
