Q

What are some general comments about remote locations and anesthesia?

A

design of satellite location is for the procedure (anesthesia is an afterthought)
personnel may be less familiar with management of patient under anesthesia
procedure table limits
pre-procedures assessment/ optimization often not completed in advance= delays + cancelations

Q

What is common of patients receiving bronchoscopic procedures?

A

patients with signficant CV and pulmonary disease

19
Q

What is the preferred method of bronchs?

A

TIVA

propofol, remifentanil, dexmedetomidine + muscle relaxants

20
Q

what are associated complications of bronchs?

A

airway fire, bronchospams, bleeding and hypoxia

21
Q

What makes up a radiology suite?

A

US
CT
MRI
Interventional (cardiac catheterization, neuroradiology)
non-invasive and don’t normally require anesthesia but may need anesthesia to lay still

22
Q

What are general considerations in the radiology suite?

A

patient remains immobile for long periods

equipment is bulky

23
Q

Why may general anesthesia be necessary in radiology suites?

A

lack of scavenging may limit the options

24
Q

What are problems associated with bulky equipment in radiology suites?

A

impede access to patient
move and collide with anesthesia equipment
lines, pumps, ventilation tubing
will need extensions

25
Q

What should be limited in the radiology suite?

A

radiation exposure

dose related cell death, tissue damage and malignancy (DNA ionization & free radical generation)

26
Q

What is ALARA?

A

as low as reasonable possible

27
Q

How can you decrease radiation exposure?

A
lead aprons
thyroid shields
moveable leaded glass screens
leaded eyeglasses
remote or video monitoring when appropriate (very briefly stepping out of the room during image)
dosimeters should be worn
(one under lead apron)
(one on collar above lead apron)
28
Q

How does contrast media come?

A

variable osmolarity, ionic or non-ionic

29
Q

When is contrast media used?

A

used in diagnostic and therapeutic radiologic procedures (general radiology and MRI)

30
Q

What are adverse reactions for contrast media?

A

range from mild to life threatening
hypersensitivity
renal toxicity

31
Q

Describe non-ionic contrast media?

A

decrease pain on injection and decrease complications

32
Q

How do you treat a hypersensitivity reaction to contrast media?

A
prompt recongition
oxygen
bronchodilators
epinephrine
fluid resusitation
corticosteroids
consider pre-treatment with IV corticosteroids a few hours pre-procedure as well as H1 and H2 blockers
33
Q

What is contrast induced nephropathy?

A

direct tubular toxicity due to release of free oxygen radicals and microvascular obstruction

34
Q

What diseases have an increased risk in CIN?

A
diabetic renal insufficiency
hypovolemia
congestive heart failure
HTN
baseline proteinuria/Renal disease
gout
co-adminstration of other drugs that can cause renal tx

A

24-48 hours

36
Q

When does azotemia peak?

A

3-5 days

37
Q

What do you monitor in CIN?

A

creatinine levels (0.5mg/dL within 24 hr is diagnostic)

38
Q

What should you avoid with azotemia and CIN?

A

avoid surgical procedures during this period

39
Q

How do you minimize the effects of contrast media?

A

careful administration and limitation of total dose
hydration 1st line protection administer 1ml/kg of normal saline 4 hours pre-procedure and continue for 12 hours post-procedure (avoid volume overload in susceptible patients)

40
Q

What do you administer to promote renal elimination with CIN?

A

42
Q

Anesthesia Technique ranges from

A

local only with anesthesia stand-by

general anesthesia

43
Q

What does the anesthesia technique depend on?

A

procedure
desired level of anesthesia
