ITE block 10 Flashcards
Normal FHR
110-160 bpm
Sinusoidal pattern on FHR
Sign of placental abruption, ominous
Early decelerations FHR
assoc w/ contractions
vagal activation from fetal head compression
Late decelerations
end of contraction
uteroplacental insuf or fetal hypoxia
What decreases hepatic blood flow?
Hypoxia
Hypercarbia
Catecholamine release
hypoTN
Which tests best determinate of synthetic fxn of liver?
PT or INR
b/c measures extrinsic pathway which has factor VII which is the shortest life span
Strong ion difference
(Na + Mg + K + Ca) - (Cl + lactate)
Inc in SID does what to pH
increase it -> alkalosis
Dec in SID does what to PH?
decrease it -> acidosis
How does inc in phosphate change pH?
Decrease -> metabolic acidosis
b/c inc in total acids
Dec in albumin change in pH
increases pH -> metabolic alkalosis
-b/c albumin mild acid -> dec = alk
CI to closed circuit anesthesia
Sevo (can’t run at high enough flows)
DKA (rebreath ketones)
Actively drunk/alcoholism (rebreath acetone)
Malnutrition
Cirrhosis
Heavy smokers (rebreath carbon monoxide)
Which meds will vasodilate and also decrease CBF?
Precedex
Propofol
gases at < 0.5 MAC
**labetalol doesn’t inc CBF!
Total O2 content equation
O2 content = )1.34 x Hg x O2 saturation in decimal) + .0003 * PaO2
Hypocalcemia EKG
Short PR interval
Prolonged QT
occasional inversion of T waves
Hypercalcemia EKG
Prolonged PR interval
Short QT
Peaked T waves
hyPeR Ca, PRolonged PR
alpha stat monitoring during CBG
pts temp is not corrected for in ABG
-does not add CO2 -> preserving cerebral autoregulation
pH stat monitoring during CBG
corrects pts temp for in ABG
-req adding CO2 -> inc CBF
-counteracts L shift of Hg curve
RF for severe bradycardia after spinal
young male
HR <60 prior to spinal
How to screen for cerebral vasospasm?
transcranial doppler
What is considered to be a positive transcranial doppler for cerebral vasospasm?
Compares fow velocity of middle cerebral artery to ICA
FVMCA > 120 cm/s
or if FVMCA: FVICA is > 3
When is rebleeding after SAH most likely to happen?
w/i 48 hours
When is vasospasm post SAH most likely to happen?
3-15 days
When to restart ppx heparin after epidural placement?
Immediately
