Off Pump CABG & Mechanical Circulatory Devices - Quiz 7 Flashcards
What are the different approaches for doing a CABG?
Thoracotomy - minimally invasive
&
Full Sternotomy
Other than the Surgeon & Anesthetist, who else is also required to be in the room for a CABG?
Perfusionist w/ a CPB machine ready
An Off-Pump CABG usually takes _____ time than a traditional CPB CABG
An Off-Pump CABG usually takes MORE time than a traditional CPB CABG
What makes a pt. a good candidate for an Off-Pump CABG?
Good LV Function
How does Fluid Management differ from an On-Pump CABG vs an Off-Pump CABG?
Harder to give large amt of fluid Off-Pump unlike the CPB Machine that can give large amounts extremely quickly
Normothermia is absolutely necessary during a CABG. What are ways to maintain normothermia?
Monitor Core Temp
Water Thermoregulation Mattress
Heat Preserving Bouffant
↑Room Temp
What can happen if a pt does not maintain normothermia of 36o C during a CABG?
Will be unable to Extubate
Which Antifibrinolytic is normally given for an On-Pump CABG, but NOT given for an Off-Pump CABG?
Aminocaproic Acid (Amicar) - inhibits Plasminogen binding to Fibrin converting it to Plasmin
What is the dose of Heparin given for an Off-Pump CABG?
Less than it would be for On-Pump CABG
100-200 units/kg w/ a goal ACT > 300
(sometimes full heparin @ 300-400 units/kg)
What is the reversal for Heparin?
Protamine
How is the heart visualized during an Off-Pump CABG?
Surgeon uses Footplate Stabilizers & Retractors that Suction & Lift the Heart
How is the Blood Pressure managed during Verticalization of the Apex to visualize the PDA & Circumflex?
Keep MAP Elevated & Give Volume to counter Extreme Hemodynamic Compromise & Ischemia
At what point during an Off-Pump CABG does the MAP need to be lowered to 60 mmHg?
During the Proximal Graft Aortic Anastomosis
What are the Advantages of an Off-Pump CABG?
Less Bleeding
Less Heparin
Normothermia Maintained –> Potential Extubation
No Aortic Cross-Clamp
Why are Intra-Aortic Ballloon Pumps (IABP) used?
↑Cardiac Perfusion w/ Sync’d Counterpulsation
↑Coronary Blood Flow on Diastole
↓Afterload on Systole
Stabilizes PreOP CABG Pts post MI
What is used as a supplement for an Off-Pump CABG or for patients who have difficulty coming off the CPB machine?
Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP)
What are contraindications for placing a pt on a IABP?
Sepsis
Descending Aortic Disease
Severe PVD
Severe Aortic Regurg.
What site is the IABP inserted?
Via Femoral Artery
For an Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump, where does the Tip of the Balloon lie?
At the Junction of Aortic Arch & Descending Aorta
&
2 cm distal to the origin of Left Subclavian Artery
How does the Timing of an IABP work?
Timed w/ Dicrotic Notch & Inflates on Diastole when AV Closes to seal and increase pressure, sending blood to the coronary arteries
