7-8 ml/kg
Open belly
Open heart
Thoracic cases
3rd space losses become mobilized on about the ____ day post-op.
3rd
will start to shift back 3 days later
What patients will have trouble with the 3rd spacing mobilization on the third day?
CHF patients (may manifest as increased intravascular volume)
New Perioperative Goal-Directed Fluid Therapy (PGDT) utilizes
Utilize individualized hemodynamic end-points to support oxygen transport balance
If a patient has a HCT of 50 what does that mean?
fluid volume depleted (RBCs packed together)
Give fluid to bring back down to normal range
What mechanism supports PGDT?
Frank Sterling Mechanism
LVEDV – myocardial contractility
So an increased preload will increase myocardial contractility and thus > CO
What does a decreasing LVEDP signify?
hypovolemia
In PGDT, what are some ways we are measuring pulse contour?
Plethsmography variability index
Stroke volume variation
Systolic pressure variation
Pulse pressure variation
How do we measure real-time measures of LV function and aortic compliance
esophageal doppler and Echocardiography
When assessing the Frank Sterling Curve, how much fluid do you give?
Administration of small fluid bolus (200-250 mL) to assess Frank-Starling curve
What type of fluids are used intraoperatively to maintain normal body fluid composition and replace losses.
crystalloids
Crystalloids are effective at increasing the intravascular fluid volume, however, they only stay in the vasculature for about
20 minutes
The risk of ____ _____ increases if crystalloids administered in large volumes
pulmonary edema
Crystalloids are preferred in dehydrated states because they hydrate the entire
EVC (water and electrolytes)
Crystalloids cause hemodilution and
a loss of hydrostatic pressure
Sodium Chloride has equal concentrations of
Na and Cl
What type of solution is 3% saline and what is it used for?
Hypertonic
Used in trauma and head injury
Recommended for those at risk for cerebral edema, anuric or end stage renal failure.
Why do you avoid LR in DM?
Lactate metabolites are gluconeogenic
With LR, lactate metabolism can cause
alkalosis
Who do you NOT give LR to?
its with cerebral edema
Why don’t you hang LR with blood products?
LR contains Ca, so avoid with citrated transfusion products
What is the most isotonic balanced salt solution?
Plasmalyte
no lactate, no Ca
The volume of crystalloid used to replace intraoperative blood loss should be
three times the estimated blood loss.
Why do we NOT give glucose containing solutions during surgery?
Surgical stress response normally induces hyperglycemia.
What is the exception to when we would give a glucose containing solution
prevention of hypoglycemia in diabetic patients who have received insulin.
Colloids are large molecules that
do not readily cross the plasma membranes
What is the advantage of colloids in regard to disease transmission?
Lack of risk of disease transmission
Risk of transmitting hepatitis eliminated by heat
Pretreated to 60*C for 10 hours - Albumin
What is the disadvantage of colloids
Lack of oxygen-carrying capacity
Lack of coagulation factors
Increased cost
Large infusions of hetastarch can cause
dilution coagulopathy
Infusion of hetastarch can cause a decrease in ______ when administered in a volume greater than 1000mL in a 70kg individual.
Factor VIII
Large infusions of Dextran can cause a ______ _______ and has a large potential for
dilutional coagulopathy
anaphylactic/anaphylactoid reactions
Why can’t you cross match blood after infusion of dextran?
secondary to agglutination of red blood cells.
The fractionated blood product is produced from
pooled human plasma
What is the molecular weight of albumin
65-69 kDa
T/F: Albumin carries an anaphylaxis risk
True
Albumin is a carrier for protein bound substances such as
Drugs, elextrolytes, enzymes, hormones
What is the Donnan Effect?
albumin binds ions which increases plasma osmolality and intravascular volume
What is 5% albumin used for?
Used for rapid expansion of intravascular fluid volume.
What is 25% albumin used for?
Primary indication is for hypoalbuminemia
very concentrated, will pull massive amounts of fluid
Clinical assessment of intraop blood loss
Tachycardia
Hypotension
Decrease CVP
Decrease mixed venous oxygen
A urine output of ______ mL/kg/hr is typically indicative of an adequate intravascular fluid volume.
0.5 - 1
True or False: Administration of diuretics will interfere with the utility of intraoperative urine output as a measure of fluid volume.
True
Systolic BP variation greater than ______, indicates hypovolemia
10
8-10 is normal
Young healthy patients may lose ____% of circulating blood volume without demonstrating clinical signs.
20%
Vasoconstriction of ______- and _______ _________ vessels occurs in response to blood loss. A blood volume loss of approximately ____% can be masked by this compensatory response.
splanchnic
venous capitance
10%
What is the primary indication for a blood transfusion?
to increase the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood
Transfusion is almost always justified when Hgb is less than ____ g/dL. HCT ____
6
18
Transfusion is rarely justified when Hgb is greater than ___g/dL. HCT ___
10
30
Management of acute hemorrhage should be managed with what? And what type?
Blood (NOT crystalloids)
Whole blood is preferred to PRBCs in these situations to expand the circulating blood volume and the red cell volume.
Why doe you not want to use crystalloids when replacing volume for acute hemorrhage?
Administration of crystalloid volumes necessary to replace the intravascular fluid loss will result in an inadequate oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.
