Lecture 12 Intra-operative Fluid therapy & Peri-Anesthetic Complications Flashcards
Why do IV fluids during anesthesia?
- Maintain intra-vascular volume
- Animals are fasted, unlikely to drink for several hours post-op
- Replace fluid losses during anesthesia
- Evaporation, respiratory, hemorrhage, urine/sweat
- Compensate for vasodilation effects of anesthetic drugs, support CO/tissue perfusion
- DO2 = CO x CaO2
- Maintain acid/base & electrolyte normality
What are different reasons why you would change different types of fluids
- Fluid/Cardiovascular status
- Electrolyte & acid/base
- Albumin, Colloid oncotic pressure (COP)
- Glucose
- Correct/stabilize pre-op to ↓drug induced hypotension & anesthetic risk
- What is the target MAP during anesthesia?
- SAP
- HR
- MAP > 60 mmHg,
- SAP > 90 mmHg
- HR
- 60-110 bpm dogs,
- 120-160 bpm cats
- Target Values for Perioperative plasma albumin?
- Colloid oncotic pressure
- TP
- Plasma albumin >2.0 g/dl
- Colloid Oncotic Pressure 15-20 mmHg
- TP > 3.5 g/dl
- Target Values for Perioperative PCV?
- Lactate
- Base deficit
- Central venous pressure
- PCV > 25-30%
- Lactate < 2 mmol/L
- Base deficit +4 to – 4 mmol/L
- Central venous pressure 6-8 cmH2O
What is a Crystalloid
contain ions/solutes that distribute to all body fluid compartments, are isotonic, composition similar to extra-cellular fluid (ECF)
What are the 4 crystalloids and what do they contain?
- Lactated Ringer’s (LRS)
- Na = 130, Cl = 109, K = 4,
- *Ca = 2.7,* lactate
- Plasmalyte A or Normosol-R
- Na = 140, Cl = 98, K = 5,
- *Mg = 3, *Acetate & Gluconate
- .9% Sodium Chloride
- Na = 154, Cl = 154
- No K+, indicated in hyperkalemia, no base => ‘acidifying’
Which crystalloids are better for liver patients?
Plasmalyte A or Normosol-R
- What is the historic intraoperative fluid rate?
- Fluid rate now for normovolemic patients?
- Historically, 5-10 ml/kg/hr recommended
- Now:
- 5ml/kg/hr for first hour,
- 2.5ml/kg/hr thereafter
Note: Restrictive IV fluids NOT appropriate for critical patients
What are the downfalls of using the old 5-10ml/kg/hr fluid rate?
- Median urine output ~0.5 ml/kg/hr
- Fluid retention 1 -2 liters in 30kg dog/4hrs
- Gain in body weight of > 1.0 kg
- PCV ↓ to 29-33, TP ↓ 4.5 – 5.1
- 30-45min after crystalloid, 30% in vascular space, 70% excreted by kidney or into ECF (fluid retention)
- What are synthetic colloids?
- Used for?
- Contain large MW molecules that stay in vascular space,
- exert colloid oncotic pressure
What are the 2 synthetic colloids
- Hydroxyethylstarch (Hetastarch)
- Hypertonic Saline – 7.5% NaCl
What are 4 side effects of synthetic colloids
- Fluid overload
- Coagulopathies
- Anaphylactic reactions
- Renal dysfunction
What are the 4 starling forces
- Pc = capillary hydrostatic pressure
- Pi = interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure
- πp = plasma protein oncotic pressure
- πi = interstitial protein oncotic pressure
If πp < πi => fluid moves out of vessels => edema
Albumin provides ~80% of plasma oncotic pressure
- What is the half life of Hydroxyethylstarch (Hetastarch)
- What are the different rate options and when would you use them?
- ½ life 12-24hrs
- Fluid rates:
- Maintenance in hypoalbuminemic patients
- 1-2 ml/kg maintenance
- Hypotension or 10-20% blood loss
- bolus 5-20ml/kg
- Up to 20ml/kg/day
- Maintenance in hypoalbuminemic patients
