New Book Anesthesia Flashcards
ARDS
Acute onset
PAOP<18
Diffuse bilateral opacities
Pa02:Fi02<200 if 300 it is ALI
Mechanical ventilation is not a requirement
No hypercarbia not good with
Increased ICP
Pulmonary HTN
Thiopental
Large volume of distribution and insignificant hepatic metabolism
Therefore same duration in patient with liver disease
Factor 7 first to become deficient in
Liver disease
Vitamin K deficiency
Warfarin therapy
Liver disease
Thrombocytopenia
Low levels factor 2 5 7 9 10 11
Vitamin k deficiency
Increased tPA levels
Clinical uses factor 7
Hemophilia
Congenital missing factor 7
Reverse warfarin
Reversal of direct factor 10 inhibitors
ALP not raised by
Osteoporosis
Low albumin is indicator of
Poor hepatic function
Not good in acute disease due to long half life
Low SAAG
Malignancy
Nephrotic syndrome
Infection
AST/ALT ratio<1 in
Viral hepatitis
ALP
Excreted in bile
ALP is high but GGT is low in various
Bone diseases
Liver disease see increase in
CO
Decrease SVR
Increased O2 in mixed venous
Decreased portal vein/hepatic blood flow
Relieving ascites May lead to greater venous capacitance and thus
Hypotension
Hyperinflation with emphysema thus lose elastic recoil of alveoli by loss of elastic tissue and surfactant
Read it
Reasonable maneuvers to minimize PEEPi include
Low tidal volume
Reduce respiratory rate
Low I:E
Increase insporatory flow to delivery tidal volume in short time to reduce I:E and increase expiratory time
FEV1 less than 30% sign of
Very severe COPD
Stop smoking
6 to 8 wks before surgery is best
Neuraxial can preserve
FRC
Preserve RR
Hypotension
General anesthesia
Lower FRC
Atelectasis
Venovenousbypass
Pulmonary or air embolus and thrombosis possible
Rarely used
OSA leads to
Difficult mask ventilation
Lipophilic drugs
Higher volume of distribution
Longer to clear from body
For succ and cisatracurium use
TBW
Not broken down by organs so not IBW
Roc/Vec use
IBW
Obese individuals
Blood volume
Stroke volume
Cardiac output increase to provide circulation to adipose tissue
Left ventricular hypertrophy
Increased incidence of hypotension on induction
Decreased FRC in obese due to
Reduction in ERV and chest compliance!
DLCO is preserved in obese
Propofol maintenance dosing by
TBW
Kidney is autoregulation for
MAP 60 to 160
Renal system gets 20% of blood flow
Diabetes inspidus common after
Head injury
Mannitol leads to
Hyponatremia associated with high serum osmolality
Reversal agents same dosage in those with
Kidney disease
Morphine and meperidine have metabolites dependent on kidney for excretion
Best preserved mechanism for temperature regulation with general anesthesia
Sweating
Conduction lowest form of
Heat loss
Highest is radiation
Vasodilation from epidural leads to heat loss due to
Redistribution from core to periphery
More wound infections and coagulopathy with
Hypothermia
Postop hypothermia increases
Sympathetic nervous system activity
Hypothermia causes MAC to
Decrease
Thyroid storm is
Life threatening
Too much thyroid hormone increases
RR and TV
Increased CO
Increase basal metabolic rate up to 60 to 100%
MH vs thyroid storm
MH has metabolic acidosis, profound hypercarbia and muscle rigidity not found in thyroid storm
CPK is increased in MH but decreases in thyroid storm
Thyroid storm treatment start with
Restoring intravascular volume, glucose, and electrolytes
Don’t use ASA with
Thyroid storm
