Module 10- Valvular Heart Disease & Hemostasis Flashcards
Frank starling mechanism aka
Hertometric autoregulation
Obstruction in HOCM is worsened by
Increase contractility
Decreased preload
Decreased afterload
On arterial waveform with HOCM may see
Biferiens pulse (bifid)
Symptoms of AI are severe when
Regurgitant volume is >60% of SV
Manifestations of which valve disorder
Diastolic murmur at left sternal border
Wide pulse pressure
Decreased diastolic pressure
bounding peripheral pulses
Chronic AI
Chronic MR due to
Rheumatic fever
Acute MR due do
Myocardial ischemia or infarction
Chordae tendonae rupture
Severe MR symptoms occur at what %
> 60% regurgitant volume
Which valve disorder is afib not tolerated at all
AS
Severe AS when AVA is
0.8-1cm
Critical AS when AVA
0.5-0.8cm2
Classic symptoms of AS
Syncope
Angina
Dyspnea
Spinal and epidural are contraindicated in what valve lesion
Severe AS
Mitral stenosis is usually caused by
Delayed complication of rheumatic fever
Mitral stenosis is when MVA
Less than 2 cm2
Which valve disorder can lead to enlarged LA causing pressure on left RLN = hoarseness
MS
Cardiac surgery patient is heparinized but ACT does not increase above 400. What are 2 causes
Antithrombin III deficiency
NTG reduces heparin efficacy
If patient has antithrombin III deficiency and isn’t responsive to heparin what should you do
2 units FFP
Normothermia pump flow during CBP is
50-70 ml/kg/min
What vessels can be compressed by mediastinoscope
Inominate artery- lose RUE flow
Right carotid
Right subclavian
Where do you place cuff and Aline for mediastinoscopy. Why
Cuff LUE- monitor for hemorrhage
Aline- RUE monitor for inominate occlusion
What is stump pressure
Backpressure from collateral flow through circle of willis via the contralateral carotid artery and vertebrobasilar system
During CEA where should PACO2 be kept
35-45mmHg
Avoid hypocapnia induced vasoconstriction
Overall result of aortic cross clamping in hemodynamics
Reduction in LV EF and CO
In anterior spinal artery syndrome what is lost? What sensations remain
Lose motor function and pinprick
Keep proprioception and vibration
Debakey I dissection
Originates in ascending aorta and involves ascending aorta, Arctic arch, and lengths of thoracic and abdominal aorta
Debakey II dissection
Confined to ascending aorta
Debakey III dissection
Confined to descending thoracic aorta
Stanford Type A dissection
Ascending aorta involvement
Stanford Type B dissection
Ascending aorta not involved
Define hypertensive crisis
BP > 180/120
In hypertensive emergency how fast/slow should BP be decreased
Drug of choice
25% within 30-60 minutes
Nipride or Cleviprex
What is the leading cause of postoperative hospital admission
Inadequate pain relief
Electrocautery interferes with what park of a pacemaker
The sensing mode
