One Lung Ventilation & Malignant Hyperthermia - Quiz 9 Flashcards
When is One Lung Ventilation usually indicated?
Thoracic Surgery
VATS
Approach via Chest
Unilateral Lung Isolation
What type of Tubes do you use for One Lung Ventilation?
Double Lumen ETT
ETT w/ Bronch Blocker
Univent ETT
Endobronchial Intubation
ETT w/ Positive Pressure to One Side
What is the most common positioning for Thoracic Surgery
Lateral Decubitus
In lateral decubitus, which lung is the Dependent lung?
Lower Lung
In lateral decubitus, which lung is the Nondependent Lung?
Upper Lung
For thoracic surgery, how is the surgical field access povided?
Iatrogenic Pneumothorax of Upper Lung
What is the Fluid Management for Thoracic Surgery?
Restrict IVF d/t risk of lower lung edema
If the patient is awake and in lateral position, which lung is better Perfused & Ventilated?
Dependent Lung - Lower Lung
After induction, which lung does positive pressure ventilation and ventilation in general favor more?
Upper Lung
What increases the Compliance & Ventilation of the upper lung in lateral position?
Open Pneumothorax of Upper Lung
Lung Zone 1
PA > Pa > PV
Lung Zone 2
Pa > PA > PV
Lung Zone 3
Pa > PV > PA
What causes a large Right-to-Left Intrapulmonary Shunt during thoracic procedures?
Upper lung is not ventilating, but still perfusing
What does an Increased PA-a (Alveolar to arterial) O2 gradient lead to?
Hypoxemia
What decreases blood flow to the nonventilated upper lung and improves the Right-to-Left Shunt?
Hypoxic Pulmonary Vasoconstriction (HPV)
&
Surgical Compression of Upper Lung
What factors Inhibit Hypoxic Pulmonary Vasoconstriction (HPV)?
Very Low/High PAP or Mixed Venous PO2 (PVO2)
Hypocapnia
Vasodilators
Inhlation Agents
Pulmonary Infections
What factors decrease blood flow to lower lung and worsens Right-to-Left shunt?
More blood going to Upper Lung
Increased Airway Pressures
Hyperventilation
Low FiO2
Inadequate Expiratory Time
Vasoconstrictors have a greater effect on _______ vessels compared to ________ vessels
Vasoconstrictors have a greater effect on normoxic vessels compared to hypoxic vessels
