Ischemic Heart Disease II Flashcards
Preoperative Assessment for CABG
- When was the patient’s last MI
- EF
- Angiography results
- Labs
When should the arterial line be placed during a CABG?
Preoperatively/Preinduction
What are the components that can be adjusted with an abnormal cerebral oximeter?
- Hgb
- FiO2
- MAP
- ETCO2
What artery will usually be taken first as a graft in a CABG?
Mammary artery
Considerations for a repeated sternotomy?
- Have blood in the room ready
- Have the bypass machine primed and ready
Ventilation considerations when the pericardium is tacked
Decrease Tidal Volume
Recommended SBP during cannulation
Should not exceed 90-100 mmHg
Heparin dose during CABG
300 units/kg
Prefer ACT if CABG is on pump
ACT >400
Prefer ACT if CABG is off pump
ACT > 300-350
What could prevent the ACT from climbing with repeated doses of heparin?
Intervention?
- AT III deficiency
- FFP can help increase the ACT in cases of heparin resistance d/t AT III deficiency.
- FFP contains AT III which heparin needs to function effectively.
How often does the patient undergo cardioplegia infusion?
20-30 minutes
Temperature goal during bypass
32 degrees Celsius
CMRO2 decreases by how many percent each Celsius?
7% decrease / degree Celsius
What joules should the internal paddles be charged to for defibrillation?
20-30 Joules
SBP for decannulation
90-100 mmHg
Protamine dose to reverse heparin
1 mg/ 100 units heparin
What drug may be used for inotropic support after coming off pump?
Levophed
What are the types of cardio bypass pumps?
- Roller
- Centrifugal (adults)
What should the pump be primed with if a patient has renal failure and a Hgb of 7?
Primed with albumin and PRBC
What are pumps typically primed with?
Crystalloid
Can also be primed with albumin, PRBC, lytes, mannitol, and heparin
What is the average prime volume?
1500-2500 mL
Range of Hct on pump
17-25%
What three routes can cardioplegia be administered?
- Antegrade: Aortic Root
- Retrograde: Coronary Sinus
- Bypass graft
Pulmonary complications of cardiopulmonary bypass
- Acute Lung Injury (“Pump Lung”)
- Diffused congestion
- Alveolar and interstitial edema
- Hemorrhagic Atelectasis
CNS complications of cardiopulmonary bypass
- Stroke from emboli
- Hypotension causing confusion (“Pump Head”)
GI complications of cardiopulmonary bypass
- Hypo-perfusion can embolize the mesentery artery, causing a mesenteric infarction.
- HITT
What factors can cause renal complications of cardiopulmonary bypass?
- Duration on pump
- Excessive blood loss
- DM
- Use of pressors
- Advanced age
Preferred urinary output during a CABG
1 ml/kg/hr
MOA of TXA (Cyclokapron)
Anti-fibrinolytic that inhibits the activation of plasminogen
Off pump coronary artery by pass is most successful with a normal ______.
EF (50-70%)
Which vessels are grafted first during OFF pump bypass?
- Aorta first (proximal fist)
- Then distal (will need vasopressor support)
Which vessels are grafted first during ON pump bypass?
- Distal first
- Then proximal
For off pump CAB, ACT is done by anesthesia every _____ minutes and redose heparin prn.
20 minutes
When will cardiac transplantation be indicated?
End-stage cardiomyopathy
Anesthetic issues w/ cardiac transplantation
- Denervated heart (vagus nerve has been cut)
- S/E of immunosuppressive therapy
- can develop CAD
Considerations for Denervated Hearts?
- No sympathetic innervation (No HR change to DL, Pain, HOTN)
- No parasympathetic innervation (Runs ST, cardiac dysrhythmias)
- No sensory ability
Immunosuppressives considerations for cardiac transplantation.
Must be continued during preoperative period
Effects of immunosuppressives on NDMR.
Enhance neuromuscular blockade
Concerns of immunosuppressives and gingival hypertrophy
Can cause bleeding into the airway
Concerns of immunosuppressives with seizures thresholds
- Can decrease seizures threshold
- No Hyperventilation
Anesthesia considerations for cardiac transplantation.
- Maintain preload (SVV/vigileo/echo)
- Avoid vasodilation (GA vs SAB/epidural)
- Continue pacemaker
