100
The kidney gets how much CO
25%
101
usually kidney to take for transplant and why
L kidney is preferred because it has longer vascular supply and longer ureter = more length to sew things back together. The artery and vein go back to the iliac and the ureter goes back to the bladder.
102
what do you anastomose first
vein first then artery
103
1/3 of all renal nephrectomies are _____

2/3 = coming from cadaver
104
DBD / DCD alterations compared to living donor
Healthy
Two kidneys

Waiting times avoided
Decreases cold ischemic time
105
Anesthesia for the Living Donor

Left kidney preferred
lateral position
106
hydration for living kidney donor
Aggressive isotonic hydration (10-20 ml/kg/hr)
107
If urine output for donor isn’t enough and we want it to be doing more_____
give Lasix/ fluid or bumex or mannitol
Furosemide, mannitol to maintain 2 ml/kg/hr
108
Why anticoagulation for living donor?
when kidney removed there is blood inside of it and its not moving / being circulated (likely to clot) – living donors get 5000 units of heparin so it doesn’t clot. Once removed we can reverse with protamine.
109
heparin and Protamine dose
Heparin = 5000 units
Reverse 1:1. 50 mg is 1:1 for 5,000 units of heparin (5,000 units = 50 mg)
110

115
lung protective ventilation
6-8 ml/kg of ideal body weight

116
Why to avoid glucose containing solutions for cadaver donors
Avoid glucose containing solutions; metabolized then becomes a hypoteonic solution
117
steroids for donor; how much and why
Steroids to attenuate immune response (in recipient)- 125 mg = help with immune repsone
