Q

What factors must you consider for perioperative fluid requirements?

A

maintenance fluid requirements, compensatory fluid bolus, NPO and other deficits: NG suction, bowel prep, Third Space losses, replacement of blood loss, special additional losses

Q

How do you calculate maintenance fluid requirements?

A

1.5 ml/kg/hr for adults or 4:2:1 rule (4 ml/kg/hr for the 1st 10 kg of body weight, 2 mL/kg/hr for 2nd 10 kg, 1 mL/kg/hr for every kg thereafter)

Q

NPO deficit is calculated by…

Q

How do you calculate third space losses for superficial surgical trauma?

A

1 ml/kg/hr

18
Q

How do you calculate third space losses for minimal surgical trauma (head and neck, hernia, knee surgery)?

A

2 ml/kg/hr

19
Q

How do you calculate third space losses for moderate surgical trauma (hysterectomy, pelvic surgery)?

A

3 ml/kg/hr

20
Q

How do you calculate third space losses for major surgical trauma (major intestinal surgery, major orthopedic procedures, open abdominal aortic aneurism repair)?

A

4 ml/kg/hr

21
Q

How much blood loss can be ignored before replacing with fluids?

A

1.5-2 cc/kg

22
Q

Blood loss after 1.5-2 cc/kg should be replaced with crystalloid at a ratio of? With colloid?

A

3:1 crystalloid, 1:1 colloid

23
Q

Hetastarch has what adverse effect?

A

mild coagulopathy when used over certain doses, rare allergic reactions. Can also elevate serum amylase

24
Q

Hypertonic saline solutions may be used for…

A

cerebral edema. Draws water out of cells

25
Q

How is oxygen delivery calculated?

A

oxygen delivery (DO2) = oxygen content (CaO2) x Cardiac Output (CO)

26
Q

What is the main determinant of oxygen content in the blood?

A

hemoglobin

27
Q

How is cardiac output calculated?

A

CO = HR x SV

28
Q

How is oxygen content calculated?

A

Hgb x 1.39 x O2 Sat + PaO2 x 0.003. If PaO2=100, Hgb=15, and O2 sat 1, 0.3 ml O2/dl blood

29
Q

What is the transfusion trigger?

A

Think oxygen delivery. Tolerance of acute anemia depends on: maintenance of intravascular volume, ability to increase cardiac output, increases in 2,3 DPG to deliver more of the carried oxygen to tissues.

30
Q

What is cross matching blood?

A

major: donors erythrocytes incubated with recipients plasma, minor: donor’s plasma incubated with recipient’s erythrocytes. Blood unit is reserved for that patient, but can be re-matched for another patient

31
Q

What is the difference between a type and screen and a type and cross?

A

Type and screen is a test done on the patient in which the recipient blood has been tested for ABO/Rh antigens and screened for common antiboides (not mixed with recipient blood). Blood is not reserved. In a type and cross, blood is reserved

32
Q

What is type specific transfusion?

A

Only ABO-Rh is determined

33
Q

If you don’t have time but must transfuse blood, what do you give?

A

O Rh negative packed cells

34
Q

What are the blood components as divided for transfusion?

A

packed red blood cells, platelet concentrate, fresh frozen plasma, cryoprecipitate, albumin, plasma protein fraction, leukocyte poor blood, factor VIII, antibody concentrates

35
Q

1 unit of pRBC’s raises the Hgb….

A

1 gm/dL

36
Q

Why can’t you use LR when transfusing pRBC?

A

LR has calcium which may cause clotting if mixed with pRBC

37
Q

What is contained in fresh frozen plasma?

A

coagulation factors except platelets

38
Q

What are the types of transfusion reactions?

A

febrile, allergic, hemolytic

39
Q

What are the complications of blood therapy?

A

transfusion reactions, transmission of viral diseases, decreased 2,3 DPG, citrate (calcium binding, metabolism to bicarb), hypothermia, microaggregates, coagulation disorders (massive transfusion may lead to dilution of platelets and factor V and VIII)

40
Q

How do you get autologous blood for transfusion prior to surgery?

A

1 unit donated every 7 days (up to 4 units) last unit donated >72 hrs prior to surgery

41
Q

What are alternatives to blood products?

A

hematopoetic growth factors, isovolemic hemodilution, surgical technique, intra-operative blood salvage, coagulants, blood substitutes, hyperbaric oxygen therapy
