AANA Standard 9 (A-E)

A

Monitoring and Alarms.
- Monitor, evaluate and document patient’s physiologic condition as appropriate for procedure and anesthetic technique
- pitch and threshold alarms are turned on and audible
- document BP, HR RR at least every 5 minutes for all anesthetics
-A. O2- Continou monitor oxygen by observation and pulse oximetry. Talk to surgical team regarding fire
B. Ventilation: Continuous monitor ventilation by clinical observations and expired CO2 during moderate sedation, deep sedation or general. Verify intubation of trache by auscultation, chest rise, and expired CO2.
C. Cardiovascular- monitor pt hemodynamics status HR and invasive monitoring as appropriate
D. Thermoregulations: monitor body temp and active measure to facilitate normothermia. When MH triggering agents used, monitor temp and recognize s/s immediately
E. Neuromuscular- when nMB agent administered, monitor response to assess depth of blockade and degree fo recovery

Oscillometry

A

Senses oscillations/fluctuations in cuff pressure produced by arterial pulsations when deflating BP cuff. 1st oscillation is SBP. Last is DBP. Automated cuffs work this way.Derives MAP, SBP, DBP by algorithm

SBP and DBP algorithm vary by manufacturer.

Less reliable than values for MAP

Oscillometry methods often underestimate systolic an overestimate diastolic significantly reducing PP calculations

A 
Pressure bag inflated to 300 mmHg

126
Q

Talk about pulse pressure variation

A

PPV is calculated as diff between maximal PPmax and PPmin pulse pressure during single respiratory cycle, divided by average of these two values

PPmax 150-70= 80
PPmin 120-60= 60
PPV= PPmax-PPmin/((PPmax+PPmin)/2)
(80-60)/((80+60)/2)= 29%

Normal 9-13% >13% needs fluids <9% should not receive intravascular expansion if 9-13, uncertain if volume would be helpful or not

In order to measure PPV accurately: TV 8-10mL/kg, PEEP >5, regular cardiac rhythm, normal intraabdominal presure, closed chest

127
Q

What happens with blood flow in heart during positive pressure ventilation?

A

Increase in lung volume compresses lung tissues, displaces blood within pulmonary venous reservoir into left heart chambers, this increases LV PRELOAD. Increase in intrathoracic pressure also decreases after load.

This increase in LV preload and LV afterload, produces an increase in LV SV, increase in CO, and arterial pressure.

128
Q

What does ASA/AANA standards for basic monitoring require for pulse ox?

A

Variable Pitch tone must be audible when in use

129
Q

What is the relationship between Sao2 AND pao2?

A

SaO2 is function of PaO2. The relationship b/w the two is described by O2Hb dissociation curve.

Curve is not linear, which means Sao2 CANNOT discriminate between normoxic and hyperoxic conditions.

SPO2 accuracy is reduced at values Lower than 70-75%

130
Q

What is the gold standard for SaO2 measurements when pulse ox inaccurate/unobtainable?

A

Co-oximetry

131
Q

Explain why the LIJ site is not preferred for CVC

A
  • Cupola of pleura is high on left, increasing risk fo pneumothorax
  • Thoracic duct might be injured during procedure as it enters venous system at junction of LIG and SCL vein
  • LIJ is often smaller than right
  • Injury might incur on right lateral walll of suprerior vena cava as the catheter transverse the left brachiocephalic vein and enter the SVC perpendicularly
132

Q

Tell me about pulse ox

A

Method of measuring hemoglobin oxygen saturation (SPO2)

  • Non invasive
  • Measures transmission of light through a solution to the concentration of the solut in the solution (application of beer lambert law)

-Uses wavelengths of 660 (unoxygenated) and 940 (oxygenated)
Pulse oximeter is composed of light emitters and a photodectector

Use- hypoxemia and detection of perfusion
