Q

SvO2

A

Mixed venous oxygen saturation
percentage of oxygen bound to hemoglobin in venous blood returning to the lungs from the entire body

Sampled from Pulmonary Artery catheter (PA cath or PA line also known as Swan-Ganz catheter)

26
Q

Normal values for ScvO2 and SvO2

A

60-80%

SvO2 typically trends 5% lower due to inclusion if myocardial demand oxygen consumption

27
Q

ScvO2 and SvO2 high

A

body isn’t using the O2

28
Q

ScvO2 and SvO2 low

A

high demand or low O2

29
Q

How often do we check gastric residuals

A

Q4H

30
Q

Key points for feeding

A

Feed as early as possible
Give protein packs
Enertal feeding is better than parenteral
reduce interruption (If you pause it pause insulin as well)
think about motility agents
stay on top of bowel care

31
Q

Adrenal insufficiency

A

Adrenal insufficiency results in the decreased production of adrenal hormones, including
cortisol. Causes can be primary (involving the adrenal gland) and secondary (involving the
pituitary gland), and include various cancers, infections, or traumas. Reversible causes that are often present during critical illness include systemic inflammatory
response syndrome (SIRS) and sepsis and adrenal exhaustion.

32
Q

Anxiety

A

is a subjective experience that occurs in response to a perceived or actual threat to self-
integrity e.g. critical illness and pain. It elicits changes in the neuroendocrine system (via the
HPA axis) that result in increased metabolic and oxygen demand

33
Q

Basal energy expenditure (BEE)

A

Calculation of BEE (using a formula) is the most frequently used method of determining
nutritional requirements of critically ill patients. It is not a particularly accurate assessment
of nutritional need, but is easy to complete.

34
Q

Base deficit or excess

A

Base deficit/ excess is a calculated value that reflects total concentration of all buffer
systems in the blood that are involved in acid-base balance (i.e., bicarbonate, ammonia,
phosphate buffer systems). A deficit indicates an acidosis and excess indicates an
alkalosis

35
Q

Central venous oxygen saturation

A

s a measured parameter that provides information about oxygen supply and demand
balance. ScvO2 reflects the amount of oxygen bound to hemoglobin, in the blood returning
to the heart. It is affected by both oxygen supply and oxygen consumption and so offers an
indication of oxygen supply and demand balance for the whole body (global tissue
oxygenation). ScvO2 is typically measured from a specimen taken from a CVC, which
includes blood predominately from the head and upper body. Normal value is 60-80%.

36
Q

normal ScvO2

A

60-80%

37
Q

Cortisol & HPA axis

A

is produced by the adrenal glands. The amount of cortisol produced is regulated by ACTH
(adenocorticotropic hormone) released from the pituitary gland. Production of ACTH is
controlled by the hypothalamus, via the hormone corticotrophin releasing hormone (CRH).
Production of CRH and ACTH is moderated by serum cortisol levels. This mechanism is
known as the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis

38
Q

Gluconeogenesis

A

Gluconeogenesis converts protein into glucose for cellular fuel. During critical illness, the
huge protein requirements for ongoing gluconeogenesis must be provided through either
enteral or parenteral nutrition, or the body will steal from its own tissues as a source of
protein.

39
Q

Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal

A

central to stress response: moderates production of cortisol

40
Q

Metabolic demand

A

Cells use oxygen and nutrients (especially glucose) to generate energy (ATP) required to
perform their function. The amount of energy they need at a given time is referred to as
metabolic demand. Increase in energy needs translates into increased metabolic demand:
decreased energy needs translates into decreased metabolic demand. Changes in
metabolic demand mean changes in oxygen demand.

41
Q

Mixed venous oxygen saturation

A

a mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) is measured from a specimen obtained via a
Pulmonary Artery catheter, the tip of which rests in the pulmonary artery. Blood in the in
pulmonary artery is a mix of venous blood returning from the whole body - hence the term -
“mixed venous”. Normal values are 60 -80%. SvO2 values are typically slightly lower than
ScvO2, due to the inclusion of heavily deoxygenated blood from the coronary sinus

42
Q

Oxygen extraction ratio formula

A

O2ER = SaO2-SvO2 divided by SaO2

Times 100

43
Q

Oxygen extraction ratio normal

A

25-35

44
Q

Oxygen extraction ratio tell us…

A

how much oxygen the tissues are extracting (using)

45
Q

LOW O2 ER

A

the tissues are extracting more oxygen

Causes: 
Decreased O2 supply
Decreased CO
Decreased SaO2
Decreased Hgb
Increased O2 demand
46
Q

High O2 ER

A

The tissues are extraction less oxygen

Causes 
Increased O2 supply
Increased CO
Increased SaO2
Increased Hgb
decreased O2 demand
47
Q

stress response in the body

A

Physiologically, the fight
or flight response involves the activation of the sympathetic
nervous system (SNS) which targets specific adrenergic receptors
with neurotransmitters called catecholamines (epinephrine and
norepinephrine)

48
Q

Some interventions to reduce

demand……

A
  • Intubation
  • Sedatives
  • Paralysis
  • Bed rest
  • Mechanical ventilation
49
Q

how do we assess oxygen supply &

demand balance?

A
  • EOP is a good place to start
  • Lactate
  • SvO2 & ScvO2
  • Oxygen extraction (O2ER)
50
Q

hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis.

A

HPA axis is the negative feedback loop responsible for controlling cortisol levels in the blood

Cortisol is produced by the adrenal glands and is essential for survival. The amount of cortisol produced is regulated by hormone (ACTH). ACTH is controlled by the hypothalamus, part of the central nervous system responsible for modulating both the SNS response and the other neuroendocrine responses to stress
Production of CRH and ACTH is moderated by serum cortisol levels (NEGATIVE FEED BACK LOOP)

51
Q

Cortisol is responsible for

A 
Glucose metabolism
Protein metabolism 
Fat metabolism
Anti-inflammatory action
Permissive effect- facilitates the response of tissues to epinephrine and norepinephrine
52
Q

Adrenal Insufficiency

A

result in suppression of the HPA axis and a decrease in production of cortisol. Regardless of the cause of acute adrenal insufficiency, it presents in many critically ill patients as hemodynamic instability that is not
responsive to inotropes or vasopressors

53
Q

neuroendocrine response to stress increases…

A

cellular metabolism and oxygen demand, and mobilizes fuel for the increased metabolism.

54
Q

Propofol

A

Propofol is a powerful sedative that is generally used as an anesthetic induction agent. It also has hypnotic, anxiolytic, amnestic, antiemetic and anticonvulsant properties, but no analgesic effects.

55
Q

Dexmedetomidine (Precedex

A

It is a rapid acting, short-term sedative with analgesic/ opioid-sparing properties

allows patient to be sedated but still rousable, which means it is also associated with shorter time to extubation

56
Q

Benzodiazepines

A

have anxiolytic and amnesic properties, but no analgesic effects.

57
Q

Haloperidol

A

Haloperidol is a dopamine receptor antagonist, so its use results in higher levels of dopamine in the brain. It is used primarily to treat confused thinking and hallucinations in critically ill patients not associated with alcohol withdrawal.

58
Q

Fever

A

caused by cytokines acting on the hypothalamus during
infection, inflammation, drug reactions, neoplasm, autoimmune
diseases, and vascular occlusive diseases

59
Q

Induced Hypothermia-Rewarming Challenges

A

● Hypotension – due to vasodilation
● Electrolyte shifts: Serum K, Mg and Ca increase
● Hypoglycemia

60
Q

Induced Hypothermia-Induction Challenges

A

● Electrolyte shifts: Serum K, Mg and Ca decrease
● Bradydysrhythmias, ECG changes (prolonged PR
interval, widened QRS)
● Coagulopathy
