What does CMRO2 stand for ?
Cerebral Metabolic Rate of O2
CMRO2 drops as the temperature drops from 37 to 14 degrees. What is the drop of CMRO2
from 100% to 10%
then goes back up to 100% as we return to 37 degrees.
The fundamental effects of hypothermia is
the progressive reduction of molecular movement through, passive transport and active transport.
Q10
reaction rate changes for every 10°C change in temperature
Simple diffusion
Through solution, down the gradient
Facilitated diffusion:
across a membrane, down the gradient, via membrane carriers
Active Transport :
Transport across membranes, up concentration gradient, via pumps and ATP
Hypothermia reduces metabolic rate and facilitates:
– Reduced blood flow
– Reduced blood trauma
– Reduced surface contact (blood to circuit)
– Safety buffer
Hypothermia reduces metabolic rate and facilitates a safety buffer that could be caused by :
- Accident
* Regional perfusion deficits
The virtues of hypothermia come at a cost, Disruptions may occur due to differential
reduction of transport mechanisms such as ?
- Electrochemical gradients
* Osmotic gradients
A technical reason for reducing flow is the presence of collateral blood flow caused by ?
– Wash out cardioplegia
– Increase tissue temperature – Cerebral steal
A technical reason for reducing flow is a small playing field ?
Tiny hearts with big
cannulas make for poor visualization and
unsuccessful surgeries
Congenital Heart Defects with reduced pulmonary blood flow ?
Tricuspid Atresia Tetralogy of Fallot TAPVR Pulmonary Stenosis Ebstein's Malformation
2 Technical approaches to reducing flow ?
Low Flow Cardiopulmonary Bypass (LFCPB)
Deep Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest (DHCA)
During the clinical testing of LFCPB vs. DHCA, what were the findings:
DHCA had a significantly higher incidence of seizure
The estimated probabilities of definite seizures in infants following repair of transposition of the great arteries with VSD or intact ventricular septum (IVS). Which group had a higher incidence for seizures post circulatory arrest ?
Patients with VSDs
Ictal definition ?
relating to or caused by a stroke or a seizure
In regards to our biochemical parameters, we can expect an increased Lactate release during?
Rewarming
In regards to our biochemical parameters, we can expect an increased release of isoenzyme ______ 6 degrees s/p surgery.
CK an enzyme marker of myocellular injury
CMVO2 definition ?
Cerebral mixed venous oxygen saturation.
CMVO2 returns to normal in ?
2-4 hours after profound hypothermia
Cerebral vascular resistance (CVR) Remains elevated for ?
6-8 hour after
profound hypothermia
What where the outcomes for Children randomized to DHCA (especially with VSD) ?
lower developmental scores at 1 year and 2.5 years
During LFCPB with flows less than 30 ml/kg, what can we expect ?
– Undetectable flow using Trans Cranial Doppler – Reduced cerebral oxygen consumption – Development of Oxygen debt in the brain
During LFCPB with flows less than 30 ml/kg, why can we expect a development of Oxygen debt in the brain?
results from anaerobic metabolism
4 Proper techniques for LFCPB ?
• Even Cool (long time) • Use appropriate blood gas strategy • Pack head in ice ? • Maintain blood flow greater the 30 ml/kg
If blood flow is creating a real problem for the surgeon what can we do ?
DHCA may be better than a sub-par surgical repair
Proper techniques for LFCPB maintains continuous blood flow but may expose brain to ?
increased embolic load (bad)
In an attempt to avoid DHCA and try to palliate a CHD patient, what will delaying the surgery lead to ?
• Increased collateral vessel development
• the patient continues to
suffer from secondary effects on the central nervous system, the pulmonary arteries, the airways, and the heart itself.
In the safe circulatory arrest times vs. temperatures graph, we can assume that ?
The colder we get down to 18 degrees, the longer the duration of total circulatory arrest.
At 18 degrees = 45 min of safe total circulatory arrest with 70% probability.
The predicted safe duration of HCA at 15 degrees C is only
29 min
Subjects were reperfused for 20 minutes at 20°C and then rewarmed with (cold reperfusion). This study resulted in what?
↓ cerebral edema &
↓ Intracranial pressures
Diastolic flow velocity returns after 20 min
With DHACA we may reduce the embolic load on the brain (good), but ?!?!?
DHCA interrupts cerebral blood flow (bad)
7 proper techniques for DHCA?
