Hematologic Flashcards
Anemia #s adult women
<11.5 hgb <36 hct
Anemia #s adult men
Hgb <12.5 hct <40
Ca02=
Arterial oxygen content. (Hgb x 1.39) sa02 + pa02 (.003)
Normal ca 02.
16-20
Compensatory mechanisms for anemia: 6
Dec blood viscosity, dec SVR, inc CO (inc SV AND hr), blood redist to areas w high extraction ratio, kidney secrete EPO, rightward shift of curve/ inc 2,3 DPG
What shifts curve right
Inc temp, inc 2,3 dpg, inc acidosis
What shifts curve left
Dec temp dec 2,3 dpg dalkalosis
Anesthesia management: anemia
Avoid decreasing CO (etomidate or high opioid induction), avoid left shift (avoid hyperventilation/alkalosis and hypothermia), maximize 02 delivery (inc fio2, prbcs)
What happens to VA in anemic pts
Less soluble= accelerated intake, but inc CO. Net effect is no OD
When CAD pt needs transfusion
Hgb <7 can lead to myo ischemia. Hct 28-30% may req transfusion if significant CAD esp w unstable coronary syndromes
When blood loss requires transfusion
15-30% loss= replace w crystalloid. >30% transfuse. >50% MTP:FFP:Plt 1/1/1.
ABL calculation
EBV x (pts hct- allowable hct) / pts hct
EBL in men and women
Men 75 ml/kg women 65
What 1 u PRBC does to hgb and hct
Hgb inc 1 g and hct 2-3%
Clinical signs w 20% ebv blood loss
Tachycardia, ortho hypo, CVP change
Signs w 40% acute blood loss
Tachycardia, hypotension, tachypnea, oliguria, acidosis, restless, diaphoresis, ecg ischemia, cvp change
What leads to hct decrease 1% every 24 hours
Hemolysis or acute blood loss
Acute blood loss induction and monitoring
Ketamine or etomidate. Invasive monitoring (CVP, a line), foley- UOP
Maintenance for acute blood loss
May be unable to tolerate VA. Scopolamine, benzos, opioids, keep warm.
Post op considerations in acute blood loss
Postop vent from fluid shifts during resuscitation, pulm edema, ARDS
What is MTP
> 10u PRBC in 24 hrs, replacing blood volume in 24 hrs, replacing >50% in 6 hrs
Consequences of MTP
Hypothermia, volume overload, dilutional coagulopathy (no clotting factors in PRBCs), decreased 2,3 dpg, hyperkalemia, citrate toxicity- binds to Ca, glucose-lactate-acidosis
Iron deficiency anemia hgb, ferritin
9-12, <30,
Vitamin b12 deficiency presentation
Hgb 8-10, large rbc volume, degeneration of spinal cord (paresthesia), thick, large tongue
Anesthesia management b12 deficiency
A/w eval and plan b, maintain adequate 02, avoid n20 (oxidizes b12), avoid regional if parasthesia
Anesthetic management for hereditary hemolytic anemia/spherocytosis
Avoid infections, CPB and mechanical valves may lead to accel hemolysis
Management of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinura
High risk DVT. Avoid resp depressants, hypoxemia/perfusion, hypercarbia. Hydrate and dvt prophylaxis
G6PD management
Class V/VI little implication. Avoid oxidative drugs (nsaids/quinolone/sulfa), avoid depression of G6PD (iso/sevo/valium), avoid methylene blue (life threatening), avoid methomoglobinemia causing drugs (lido/prilocaine, silver nitrate), avoid oxidative stress (low temp, acidosis, low bg, infections).
Safe drugs for G6-D 5
Codeine, versed, propofol, fentanyl, ketamine
What pyruvate kinase deficiency does to curve/body
Shifts curve right, accum 2,3 dpg. Requires transfusion at birth. Jaundice.
Hemolytic anemia periop concerns
Inc risk hypoxia in tissues, inc infection risk if splenectomy, inc risk VTE, hgb <8 acute drop or chronic <6 need transfusion maybe, preop hydration. Caution methylene blue admin
Acute chest syndrome: happens in who, when, presentation
Sickle cell crisis 2-3 days postop. Pna like, pulm infiltrate in one segment, pulm vascular occlusion. Pleuritic CP, dyspnea, fever, pulm htn.
Acute chest syndrome: tx
Supplemental 02, inhaled NO to reduce pulm htn, abx, bronchodilators, pain management. Monitor for stroke, pain, and infection
Sickle cell disease RFs for periop complication
Old age, frequent sickling episodes, end organ damage (low baseline 02, elevated creat, cv dysfunc, stroke) and infection
Sickle cell disease. Operations that are low risk, moderate risk, and high risk
Low: extremity/minor procedures. Moderate: intraabdominal. High: IC, intrathoracic, hip replacement
