Lecture 12 Intra-operative Fluid therapy & Peri-Anesthetic Complications Part 2 Flashcards
What is the 2nd most frequent anesthetic complication?
Hypotension
- What MAP is hypotension?
- SAP?
- MAP < 60 mmHg
- SAP < 90 mmHg
What is the driving force for blood flow through capillaries?
MAP
How do you calculate MAP?
- MAP = CO x SVR
- CO = cardiac output
- SVR = systemic vascular resistance
What are Hypotension Causes because of decreased HR during anesthesia
- Drugs:
- opioids
- alpha-2 agonists**(not dexmedetomidine)
- Hypothermia
- Physiologic condition
- Cardiac/neurologic disease
- brachycephalic
- pediatric patients
How do you treat hypotension
- Anti-cholinergic
- Atropine, glycopyrrolate
- Underlying cause
What are Hypotension Causes because of decreased Stroke volume (SV) during anesthesia
- SV depends on preload, contractility, afterload (SVR)
- ↓preload
- ↓ blood volume
- Vasodilation
- IPPV
- ↓contractility
- Anesthetic drugs
- Cardiac disease
- Decreased preload will do what to blood volume?
- How to treat?
- ↓ blood volume
- Hypovolemia
- Goal directed intra-op IV fluid therapy
- Crystalloid fluid bolus => 5 – 10ml/kg
- Colloid => 2 – 5 ml/kg
- Goal directed intra-op IV fluid therapy
Which anesthetic drugs vasodilate leading to decreased preload?
- Acepromazine
- Propofol induction
- Related to dose & rate of administration
- Usually short lived in healthy patients
- Inhalants
- use ‘inhalant sparing’ techniques
What are 3 ways to do ‘Inhalant sparing’ or ‘Balanced’ anesthesia
- Use drugs with mild CV effects
- Nitrous oxide
- Local Anesthesia/Analgesia
What are drugs with mild CV effects to try and prevent hypotension
- Mu-agonist Opioids + Benzodiazepines
- Hydromorphone, Morphine, Oxymorphone, Methadone, Fentanyl
- ↓ MAC of inhalant in dose-dependent manner
- Minimal CV effects, do not cause vasodilation
- May cause bradycardia => treatable
Why use nitrous oxide
- ↓ MAC Sevoflurane by 20-30%
- **must scavenge waste gas
- 50% O2, 50% nitrous
What can ↓contractility
- Anesthetic drugs
- Cardiac disease
How do you manage ↓contractility
- Drugs with mild CV effects (opioids, benzodiazepines)
- ‘Inhalant Sparing’ techniques
- Goal directed IV fluid therapy* Caution with cardiac
- Positive inotropes
What will cause hypotension due to decreased MAP?
What can ↓ SVR (vasodilation)
- ↓Vascular tone
- Anesthetic drugs
- Inhalants, Acepromazin, Propofol
- Shock, sepsis
- Anesthetic drugs
Hypotension Treatment (in order)
- Assess/Reduce Anesthetic depth
- Treat bradycardia if associated with hypotension
- IV Fluids
- +inotropes or vasopressors
How do you Assess/Reduce Anesthetic depth to treat hypotension
- Want to use least amount of inhalent
- Inhalants cause DOSE DEPENDENT CV depression
- •↓ contractility, vasodilation
- •‘Inhalant Sparing’, ‘balanced anesthesia’ techniques
- •opioids, benzodiazepines, nitrous oxide, local blocks
- Inhalants cause DOSE DEPENDENT CV depression
How do you Treat bradycardia if associated with hypotension
- Anti-cholinergics
- Make sure to check for underlying cause
Hypotension Treatment with fluids
- Crystalloids
- Colliods
- Hetastarch
- Hypertonic Saline
- Blood products
- Blood loss > 20-30%
- Packed RBC
- Whole blood
What are the 3 drugs you can use to treat hypotension with positive inotropes and vasopressors
- Ephedrine
- Dopamine
- Dobutamine
How does Ephedrine work
- Direct & indirect sympathomimetic
- β1>β2 => positive inotropy, ↑contractility
- α vasoconstriction
- Also causes release of norepinephrine
Is Ephedrine a long or short term treatment of hypotension
Short-term treatment
what are the different Dopamine dosages and what are the effects (mostly remember effects)
- <2.5 ug/kg/min
- DA1 & DA2
- Vasodilation esp. kidney
- 2.5-5 ug/kg/min
- β1 agonist, + inotropy
- >5-10 ug/kg/min
- α1 & α2
- Vasoconstriction, ↑afterload
- BP ↑ but ↑ myocaridal work
How does dobutamine work to treat hypotension
- β1 agonist, ↑contractility, no effect on SVR
- Some β2 & α
What lead is used for dysrhythmia detection
Lead II
What is the Simple systematic approach to detect cardiac dysrhythmias
- Identify P, QRS, T waves
- Is there a P for every QRS?
- Is there a QRST for every P?
- Is the R-R interval constant or vary?
- Is there a pattern to variation?
- Do complexes come earlier than expected?
