HTN, IE Flashcards
Cardiac conditions associated with the higher risk of Infectious Endocarditis for which prophylactic antibiotic with dental procedures is recommended
According to the current AHA guideline in 2021,
prophylactic antibiotics are recommended
1. prosthetic cardiac valve or material
2. previous or recurrent infectious endocarditis
3. congenital heart disease
4. cardiac transplantation recipient who develop cardiac valvulopathy
- Prophylactic abx is no suggested for pacemaker, hemodialysis, coronary artery stent.
Dental procedures in pts with cardiac condition for which IE prophylaxis is recommended
All dental procedures that involve manipulation of 1. gingival tissue or 2. periapical tissue or 3. perforation of the oral mucosa
Classification of Blood Pressure in adults
normal 120/80
elevated 120-129 or <80
stage 1 HTN 130-139 or 80-89
stage 2 HTN 140/90 - 180/110
(>=140 or >=90)
uncontrolled HTN >180/110
HTN emergency >180/120
Dental management based on blood pressure
Pts with a BP 180/110 may receive any necessary dental tx; consider BP monitoring during tx for stage 2 HTN (140/90-180/110).
Pts with a BP >180/100 (severely uncontrolled HTN) should defer elective tx.
Chlorothiazide (Diuril), Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTX)
Furisemide (Lasix), Bumetanide (Bumex)
Amiloride (Midamor)
diuretics
Propranolol (Inderal)
nonselective beta blocker
1. avoid prolonged use of NSAIDs - may reduce antihypertensive effects
2. drug interaction with epinephrine - potential increase in BP (use maximum of 0.036mg of epi)
Lisinopril
Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitors
Losartan
Angiotensin Receptor Blockers
Amlodipine (Norvasc), Nifedipin
Calcium Channel Blockers
1. gingival overgrowth
2. avoid macrolide abx (erythromycin, clarithromycin, not azithromycin) - can raise plasma levels of CCBs resulting in hypotension
Doxazosin (Catapres), Terazosin (Hytrin)
alpha1-adrenergic blockers
Clonidine (Catapres), Methyldopa (Aldomet), Reserpine
alpha2-adrenergic agonists
Hydralazine, Minoxidil (Loniten)
direct vasodilators
HTN - antibiotics
Avoid erythromycin, clarithromycin (not azithromycin) with CCBs because the combination can enhance hypotension
HTN-anxiety
- Use stress reduction protocol
- Consider the use of pre-op oral sedation (short-acting benzodiazepine 1hr before procedure
- Consider the use of N2O inhalation sedation intraoperatively (Stanly?)
HTN-anesthesia
- Ensure profound LA
- Avoid excessive amounts of epi in pts who take nonselective beta blockers, which can cause a spike in BP and appears to be dose dependent
- limit to 2 carpules of 1:100K epi
