Q

What is the Innate immune system?

A

Primary defense again pathogens.

Examples:
Integument: skin prohibits invasion of organisms
Phagocytosis: destruction of foreign organisms
Killer T cells: destroy virus-infected cells.

Q

Acquired (Active) Immunity

A

Immunity obtained either from the development of antibodies in response to exposure to an antigen, as from vaccination or an attack of an infectious disease.

Q

What are the 2 branches of Acquired Immunity?

A
  • Humoral Branch: B lymphocytes, originate in bone marrow and plasma cells
  • Cell Mediated Branch: T lymphocytes formed by the thymus.

Q

What changes happens at the tissue level during an inflammatory response?

A
  • Localized vasodilation
  • increased blood flow
  • increased capillary permeability
  • extravasation of plasma proteins
  • chemotactic movement of leukocytes to site of injury

Q

Anaphylaxis is:

A
  • IgE mediated
  • Immediate systemic hypersensitivity
  • Antibodies attach to mast cells and basophils releasing histamines and other inflammatory mediators.

Hives, swelling, stridor, N/V, hypotension, urticaria.

  • NOT IgE mediated

- same symptoms as anaphylaxis, treat the same.

Q

Type III Hypersensitivity:

A

Immune complex disease

  • antibodies bind to antigens and release enzymes that cause tissue damage.
    ex. Systemic Lupus Erythromatosus, Rheumatoid arthritis, glomrulonephritis

Q

What are the 4 the most common drugs (in order of most to least common) to cause anaphylaxis?

A
  1. Muscle relaxants (60%): Rocuronium
  2. Latex (15%)
  3. Antibiotics (5-10%)
  4. Opioids (<5%): demerol and morphine

Q

Treatment for anaphylaxis:

A

EPINEPHRINE:
Adults: 100-500mcg subQ or IM may repeat q 10-15 minutes or 50-100mcg IV
Children: 10mcg/kg up to 500mcg q 15 x 2, then q 4 hours.

DIPHENHYDRAMINE: 1-2 mg/kg or 25-50mg IV for adults

H1 and H2 blockers.
steroids questionable.

Q

How is at high risk for Latex allergy?

A
  • Health care workers, neural tube defects, multiple surgeries, spina bifida, genitourinary defects
  • Cross-sensitivity to tropical fruits, bananas, kiwi, mangos, chestnuts. (If has a known allergy to any of these).
  • usually manifests at a Type I anaphylactic or Type IV dermatitis.
17
Q

Antiretrovirals used to treat HIV/AIDS interact how with CYP450 system?

A

They are INDUCERS. (they accelerate drug metabolism)

18
Q

The most common source of accidental HIV exposure of health care workers?

A

Recapping of needles, more specifically open bore needles.

DO NOT RECAP NEEDLES, and dispose of sharps properly.

19
Q

What is Systemic Lupus Erythmatosus (SLE)?

A

Chronic inflammatory disease in which the immune system attacks it’s own tissues by producing antinuclear antibodies.

20
Q

What organ systems are commonly effected by SLE?

A
  • Renal disease in >50% of people
  • Pericardial effusion in >50%

characterized by polyarthritis, dermatitis, malar rash on face

21
Q

How is SLE treated?

A
  • corticosteroids
  • antimalarial drugs
  • immunosuppressants
22
Q

What exacerbates SLE?

A
  • infection
  • pregnancy
  • surgical stress
  • medications (over 80): Procainamide, hydralazine, captopril, enalapril, isoniazid, methyldopa, d-penicillamine.
23
Q

What are some anesthetic considerations for SLE patients?

A
  • rigidity of laryngeal cartilage from cricoarytenoid arthritis
  • restrictive airway disease (smaller tidal volumes)
  • prone to PE, pulmonary HTN, pneumonitis, alveolar hemorrhage.
  • RLN palsy
  • Cyclophoosamine, inhibits plasma cholinesterase, may lead to longer duration of Ester anesthetics and Succinylcholine
24
Q

What is Scleroderma?

A

Collagen vascular disease:

-Inflammation, vascular sclerosis, fibrosis of skin and organs

25
Q

What is the progression of Scleroderma?

A
  1. injury to the vascular endothelium
  2. Vascular obliteration and leakage of proteins into the interstitial space
  3. Tissue edema and lymphatic obstruction due to protein leakage
  4. Tissue fibrosis forms.
26
Q

Scleroderma is also present in 95% of people with what other vascular disorder?

A

Raynaud’s disease/phenomenon.

vasospasms due to cold intolerance, hands turn white

27
Q

Anesthetic considerations for scleroderma:

A
  • May require fiberoptic intubation
  • bleeding with airway manipulation
  • Chronic HTN, poor vascular compliance
  • Pulmonary HTN
  • Corneal abrasion: dry eyes
  • Regional anesthesia preferred, has advantage of causing vasodilation.
28
Q

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA):

A

Cellular hyperplasia in synovium of joints.

  • infiltration by lymphocytes, plasma cells, and fibroblasts.
  • Articular cartilage eventually destroyed.
29
Q

RA treatments:

A
  • Corticosteroids
  • Methotrexate
  • Immunosuppresants
  • NSAIDS
30
Q

Anesthetic considerations for RA:

A
  • May need stress dose of steroids if taking daily.
  • Cervical joint degeneration, unable to extend neck. (Prone to atlantoaxial subluxation, get XRs prior)
  • Consider glidescope or fiberoptic due to small mouth opening (TMJ degeneration) and laryngeal swelling.
