VOTC:
ventilation, oxygenation, temperature, circulation
2
Q
cardiac surgery monitors in addition to standard
A
invasive BP, CVP, TEE, UOP, ABGs, neuromonitoring
3
Q
Preload
A
- tension on LV wall after diastole
- LVEDP indirectly
- increased preload=increased SV
- determined by intravascular volume (determined by total body sodium-controlled by aldosterone), venous tone, and ventricular compliance
4
Q
Contractility
A
- -hearts ability to generate force
- chemical event from intracellular calcium
5
Q
afterload
A
- Tension on LV when aortic valve opens
- indirectly measured by SVR
- increased SVR=increased afterload and decreased SV
6
Q

which artery?
US?
A
ideal location is acending aorta
-most common: radial (ulnar nerve supplies 90% of flow)
*US as rescue tecnique
7

Goal placement of PAC and details about zone
west lung zone III. bulk of pulmonary blood flow is in this region. provides most accurate estimate of LVEDP
zone III: arterial pressure >venous pressure>alveolus pressure
* *it is the DEPENDENT region of lungs
- base when sitting
- towards back when supine
- towards chest when prone
- towards dependent lung in lateral
*tip in zone I or II --> variations in PAOP, lost a and v waves, PAOP>PADP

- RV failure (back pooling)
- TS or TR
- cardiac tamponade (restricted ventricular emptying)
- constrictive pericarditis (restricted ventricular emptying)
- volume overload
- pulm HTN (backing up)
- LV failure

31
monitoring limitations
- CVP does not approximate PADP with change in RV compliance or tricuspid disease
- PADP does not approximate PAOP with pulm HTN, MR or AR, lung zone II or III, tachycardia, ARDS, RBBB
- PAOP does not approximate LAP with PEEP, lung zone II or III, mediastinal fibrosis, RBBB
- LAP does not approximate LVEDP with PEEP, mitral valve disease, change in LV compliance, pulm disease
- LVEDP does not approximate LVEDV with PEEP, change in LV compliance (ischemia)

39
pulse ox
- based on beer lambert law. 2 waves of light
- red light- preferentially absorbed by deoxyhemoglobin (higher in venous)
- near infrared light-preferentially absorbed by oxyhemoglobin (higher in arterial)
* need pulsatile flow
* at <60mmhg pao2 steep decline in SpO2

42
ischemia on ECG
- earliest sign
- depolarization order
* earliest deterction intraop is from TEE (see diastolic dysfunction first)
- earliest sign on ECG is iso-symmetrical t-waves in 2 leads
- J point elevation 0.1 or hihger in any lead (except V2, V3) required for STEMI in 2 or more contiguous
* ventricular depolarization goes endocardium to epicardium (in to out)
* ST elevation correlates with offending vessel. can have depression in recipricol leads
* typically see ST elevation, t wave increase, presence of Q waves

postsynaptic APs of cortical neurons
1. EEG amplitude and frequency are inversely related
2. simultaneous decrase indicates hypothermia, ischemia, anoxia, or excessive hypnosis
3. simultaneous increase indicates seizure or artifact

52
jugular bulb oximetry
measures cerebral venous sat through catheter
55-70%=normal
global measurement (cant detect focal ischemia)
53
cerebral oximetry
- noninvasive. uses infrared light
- non pulsatile (use for CPB)
- normal = <20% of baseline
54
coagulation in bypass
CPB produces massive inflammatory response-activates clotting cascade use heparin
55
heparin
binds to antithrombin III and increases efficacy. (non functional if low endogenous antithrombin III). inhibits factor x --> inhibits prothrombin--> thrombin
56
protamine reversal
1mg protamine reverses 100 units of heparin
protamine can cause anaphylaxis- hypotension, right HF, pulm edema, platelet inhibition

60
heparin resistance
due to competitive antagonism, need to increase dose
61
HIT
autoimmune reaction. platelet consumption forming clots but still bleeding. usually 5-14 days after heparin
62
TEG
looks at integrity of platelets and clotting cascade to evaluate clot strength and ability to maintain hemostasis through breakdown
63
```
TEG parts
