Q

Warm retrograde cardioplegia flow must be
what to minimize myocardial lactate
production?

A

> 100 mL/min **

27
Q

When do you use the single clamp technique ?

A

Used with calcified stiff aortas **

28
Q

Side biting technique benefits? ischemic time?

A

Ischemic time is only with fully clamped aorta

Shorter clamp times **

29
Q

Intermittent Crossclamp - clamp time sum of?

A

Clamp time is the sum of all fully ischemic times **

30
Q

Intermittent Crossclamp negatives?

A
  • Increased risk of stroke

* Not commonly used

31
Q

Fibrillatory Arrest

A

Creates a nearly motionless heart by placing an alternating current generator in contact with the left ventricle.

32
Q

Fibrillatory Arrest - what side of heart can be opened?

A

Left side of heart can be opened without the fear of ejecting air into the aorta

33
Q

Fibrillatory Arrest should be used in conjunction with what?

A

hypothermia

34
Q

What do you keep elevated during Fib Arrest?

A

KEEP MAP ELEVATED *

35
Q

Fibrillatory Arrest Advantages? (2)

* Quiescent heart with coronary perfusion

36
Q

Fibrillatory Arrest Disadvantages? (2)

A
  • Higher energy requirement than arrested heart

* Spontaneous ejection will result in air emboli

37
Q

Anesthetic agents do what for preconditioning?
