FINAL 1 Flashcards
Ex-Premature infants are infants born:
<37 weeks gestation and <60 weeks postconceptional age.
These premature infants will need _____ hours post-op monitoring for apnea and desaturation
12-24
3 Factors that Increase the risk of postop apnea
<60 weeks post-conceptual age
Anemia (Hgb < 12)
Secondary Diagnoses (like intraventricular hemorrhage)
Do you want to give opioids to ex-premature infants?
nope
Caffeine ____mg/kg IV given intraoperatively can reduce the frequency of apnea
10mg/kg
These infants at risk of post-op apnea can be discharged _____ hours after free from apnea
12 hours
Does reginal anesthesia increase risk of post-op apnea?
No- so, they will not require extended monitoring, only ones under sedation or GA.
Abnormality of Tricuspid Valve where septal and often posterior leaflets are displaced into the RV
Ebstein’s Anomaly
Ebstein’s Anomaly (if occurs in isolation) is considered what type of lesion?
Acyanotic. But most will have a ASD or PFO and blood will be shunted R to L, causing cyanosis.
Ebsteins Anomaly can have ____ outflow tract obstruction
RV
Ebstein’s Anomaly- Tricuspid valve is usually _____ but may be _____
Regurgitant, Stenotic.
Result of Ebstein’s Anomaly
RA is Dilated and RV is atrialized with reduced RV cavity
Sx of Ebstein’s Anomaly in Neonates:
Presents as systemic venous congestion and cyanosis which worsens AFTER ductus arteriosus closes, which leads to decreased pulmonary blood flow
Ebstein’s Anomaly- Anterior valve leaflet is ____ and ___-like, with chordal attachments to the ____ free wall
elongated, sail-like.
Chordal attachments to RV free wall
Older children are diagnosed with Ebsteins Anomaly bc/ ________ is found
incidental murmur
Adolescents and adults with Ebsteins Anomaly will have
SVT causing CHF, worsening cyanosis and occasional syncope.
Patients with Ebsteins Anomaly are at risk for (4 items)
Paradoxical Embolization
Brain Abscess
CHF
Sudden Death
Classic Signs/Sx of Ebstein’s Anomaly
Cyanosis-depends on degree of R-L shunt
Systolic Murmur- (Left Lower Sternal Border)
Hepatomegaly (d/t hepatic congestion from CHF)
ECG=Tall, broad P waves, possible 1st degree AVB
PST and VT
20% have W-P-W
Echo=Cardiomegaly, R heart can compress lungs and become “restrictive” heart disease.
Treatment for Ebsteins’s Anomaly
Controversial- may do tricuspid valve repair, Fontan procedure or transplant.
Treatment of EA in older patients
Prevent associated complication like infective endocarditis, CHF and SVT.
Repair or replace the tricuspid valve and repair the ASD
Complications of EA repair
3rd degree AVB
SVT
Residual Tricuspid Regurg
Prosthetic Valve Dysfunction
EA- may be a _____ effect of IV anesthetics
delayed. d/t pooling and dilution of blood in the RA
3 Major Hazards with anesthetic management of EA.
Depressed RV function and forward flow
Hypoxia d/t increased R-L shunt
SVTs
Anesthetic goals with EA management (ventilation and cardiac)
Minimize mechanical and metabolic affects of ventilation
Maintain RV contractility
What is the most common chromosomal disorder?
Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21)
3 most common cardiac anomalies with Down Syndrome
Complete AV canal defect
VSD
ASD
(Others include TOF and PDA)
All of the cardiac anomalies with Down Syndrome have the propensity for
increased pulmonary blood flow (Pulm. HTN)
1 of the most common clinical features with DS
Hypotonia (weak muscle tone) can affect patency of airway.
Issues with DS that adds to risk of upper aw obstruction
Large Tongue
Short Neck
Crowded Midface
Laryngomalcia (congenital softening of the tissues of the larynx, above the vocal cords).
DS Pts have increased incidence of subglottic and tracheal ______. So ETT size may need to be ____
Stenosis
Smaller
DS Pts need cervical xrays to assess_____
Ligamentous Laxity of Atlantoaxial Joint (Atlanto-Axial Instability)
DS: Postpone the case I atlantodens interval is _____ on cervical x-ray
> 5mm
Normal Alantodens interval for Adult and Child
Adult < 3mm
Child<4.5mm (<5mm on next slide)
DS: Keep head and neck in _____ position
neutral
What do you know about C1?
“Atlas”
Ring shaped
Does not have a body
What do you know about C2?
“Axis”
Has fused remnants of the atlas body called the “Odontoid Process” or “Dens”
