Q

2 different types of immunity and their definitions

A

Q

Granulocytes cells

A

Neutrophils- most numerous WBC, fastest, 6hr half life, fight bacteria
Basophils- least common, cause bronchospasm
Eosiniphils- heavy in GI, respiratory

Q

Anaphylaxis vs anaphylactoid

A

Anaphyalxis- IGE mediated, mast cells, basophils, rapid <30 min, hotn, bronchospasm,
Anaphylactoid- NO IGE, mast cells and basophils, generally greater amounts of drug than anahylaxis, may occur first exposure, but presentation is identical

Q

Tx of anaphylaxis non life threatening

A

Epi 100mcg-500mcg subq or IM q10min
Children- 10mcg/kg-500mcg q 15 min x2 q4h
Benadryl 1-2mg/kg or 25-50mg IV
Steroids are questionable

Q

Tx of anaphylaxis life threatening

A

1.0 fio2
EPI IV 50-100 mcg to increase CAMP for permeability and relaxes bronchioles
BB can cause poor response
BB- fluids and glucagon
Bronchodilators
Steroids

Q

How do epidurals affect immunity

A

Alteration of lymphocyte and killer t activity

17
Q

How do volatile anesthetics impact immunity

A

Suppress nk cells
Induce apoptosis
Suppress apoptosis of cancer cells

17
Q

Which opioids has the greatest depression of immunity

A

Morphine
Fentanyl

18
Q

Which anesthetic is recommended for hiv pt

A

None
But meds can induce p450 system (NNRTIs)

19
Q

Treatment of SLE exacerbation

A

Corticosteroids
Antimalarial
ImmunosuppressantsWha

20
Q

What can exacerbate SLE

A

Pregnancy
Infection
Surgical stress
Drugs

21
Q

SLE anesthetic implications, what are they prone to

A

1/3 exhibit cricoaryetnoid arthritis and RLN palsy
Prone to PE, pneumonitis, alveolar hemorrhage

22
Q

Tx of RA

A

Corticosteroids
Methotrexate
Immunosuppressants
NSAIDS

23
Q

RA anesthetic considerations

A

Neck restrictions, AO subluxation
TMJ restriction/ small mouth opening
Laryngeal edema

24
Q

H1 receptor effect after anaphylaxis. anaphylactoid

A

vasodilation
increased vascular permeability
smooth muscle contraction

25
Q

H2 receptor effect after anaphylaxis/ anaphylactoid

A

tachycardia
gastric acid secretion

26
Q

Best lab to test for a type 1 allergic reaction

A

Tryptase,
Examples: anaphylaxis, extrinsic asthma

27
Q

Type 2 reactions are mediated by, examples

A

(antibody mediated)
IgG and IgM, complement cascade
Examples: abo incompatibility, HIT

28
Q

Type 3 reaction

A

An immune complex is formed and deposited into the patients tissue- complement cascade
Example: snake venom

29
Q

type 4 hypersensitivity reaction

A

12 hours later
Examples: contact dermatitis, graft vs host, tissue rejection

30
Q

Treatment for intraoperative anaphylaxis

A

DC offending agent
1.0 fio2
epinephrine 5-10 mcg for hotn, 1mg for CV collapse
10-25ml/kg
1mg/kg benadryl
albuterol
vasopressin drip

31
Q

What fruits put you at risk for latex allergy

A

kiwi banana papaya pineapple tomato mango

32
Q

neutrophils

A

fight bacteria and fungus
60% of all wbc

33
Q

eosiniphils

A

fight parasites

34
Q

basophils

A

important for allergic reaction

35
Q

monocytes

A

fight bacteria, virus, and fungus
release cytokines
present pathogens to t lymphocytes

36
Q

Lymphocytes

A

b- humoral (produce antibodies)
t- cell mediated- doesnt produce antibodies
NK- limits spread of tumor, and opioids decrease function

37
Q

anaphylaxis causes degranulation of __ and __, but can be prevented with ___

A

mast cells
basophils
can be prevented with epoi

38
Q
A
