Hall Ch11 Flashcards
What type of patients should receive antibiotic prophylaxis for infective endocarditis?
Pts undergoing selected dental procedures with prosthetic valves, previous infective endocarditis, congenital heart disease, heart transplant with valvulopathy
Most sensitive indicator of left ventricular myocardial ischemia
Wall motion abnormalities on echocardiogram
2500 cc/min of oxygen consumption equates to how many METs?
10 METs. 1 MET equals energy expended during 1 minute of rest
Common reason for pulmonary artery pressure to suddenly increase during CPB
Distal migration of pulmonary artery catheter into a wedge position. Another reason is inadequate ventricular venting leading to ventricular distension
During CPB, facial or scleral edema is a sign of
Malposition of venous cannula
During CPB, unilateral facial blanching is a sign of
Improper positioning of aortic cannula
How does transposition of great vessels affect inhalation induction?
Slower than normal
How does transposition of great vessels affect IV induction?
Faster than normal
Fontan procedure (anastomosis of right atrial appendage to pulmonary artery treats which congenital cardiac defects?
Tricuspid atresia, pulmonary atresia, pulmonary stenosis, hypoplastic left heart
Tissue metabolic rate is reduced by how much for each degree body temperature is lowered?
5-8% for every degree of body temp lowered. CPB
Effective deflation of IABP occurs when?
Just before ventricular systole or midpoint of QRS complex
Effective inflation of IABP occurs when?
Immediately after closure of aortic valve or after T wave
Effects of afterload reduction on Tetralogy of Fallot
Increases right to left shunt which worsens systemic hypoxemia
Afterload reduction is beneficial for which cardiac conditions?
Aortic insufficiency, mitral regurgitation, congestive heart failure, patent ductus arteriosus
Protamine is a compound isolated from?
Fish sperm
Dose of protamine to reverse heparin
1.3 mg of protamine for each 100 units of heparin
Administering protamine to pt who hasn’t received heparin results in?
Anticoagulant effect by binding to platelets and soluble coagulation factors. Hypotension if given rapidly because of histamine release.
3 factors that determine myocardial O2 demand from most to least important
Heart rate > afterload > preload
Pulsus paradoxus is sign of
Cardiac tamponade, severe airway obstruction, RV infarction. (Inspiratory fall in SBP > 10 mmHg)
Pulsus parvus (diminished pulse wave) and pulsus tardus (delayed upstroke) are signs of
Aortic stenosis
Pulsus alternans (alternating smaller and larger pulse waves) is a sign of
Severe LV dysfunction
Bisferien pulse (pulse waveform with 2 systolic peaks) is a sign of
Significant aortic regurgitation
Drugs that can be administered down ETT?
ALONE: Atropine, Lidocaine, Oxygen, Naloxone, Epinephrine. Vasopressin too
Amiodarone is what class of antidysrhythmic?
Class 3, prolongs action potential and repolarization
Amiodarone metabolism
Liver
Amiodarone half life
58 days
Amiodarone excretion
Bile
