Q

O2 Consumption Vs. Temperature

Ebstein's Malformation
22
Q

2 Technical approaches to reducing flow ?

A

Low Flow Cardiopulmonary Bypass (LFCPB)

Deep Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest (DHCA)

23
Q

During the clinical testing of LFCPB vs. DHCA, what were the findings:

A

DHCA had a significantly higher incidence of seizure

24
Q

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 ?

A

Patients with VSDs

25
Q

Ictal definition ?

A

relating to or caused by a stroke or a seizure

26
Q

In regards to our biochemical parameters, we can expect an increased Lactate release during?

A

Rewarming

27
Q

In regards to our biochemical parameters, we can expect an increased release of isoenzyme ______ 6 degrees s/p surgery.

A

CK an enzyme marker of myocellular injury

28
Q

CMVO2 definition ?

A

Cerebral mixed venous oxygen saturation.

29
Q

A

2-4 hours after profound hypothermia

30
Q

31
Q

What where the outcomes for Children randomized to DHCA (especially with VSD) ?

A

lower developmental scores at 1 year and 2.5 years

32
Q

During LFCPB with flows less than 30 ml/kg, what can we expect ?

A
– Undetectable flow using 
   Trans Cranial Doppler
– Reduced cerebral oxygen  
   consumption 
– Development of Oxygen debt in the brain
33
Q

During LFCPB with flows less than 30 ml/kg, why can we expect a development of Oxygen debt in the brain?

A

results from anaerobic metabolism

34
Q

A
• Even Cool (long time)
• Use appropriate blood gas 
  strategy 
• Pack head in ice ?
• Maintain blood flow greater 
  the 30 ml/kg
35
Q

If blood flow is creating a real problem for the surgeon what can we do ?

A

DHCA may be better than a sub-par surgical repair

36
Q

Proper techniques for LFCPB maintains continuous blood flow but may expose brain to ?

A

increased embolic load (bad)

37
Q

In an attempt to avoid DHCA and try to palliate a CHD patient, what will delaying the surgery lead to ?

A

• 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.

38
Q

In the safe circulatory arrest times vs. temperatures graph, we can assume that ?

A

The colder we get down to 18 degrees, the longer the duration of total circulatory arrest.
