Q

Hypoxia on OLV

A

“1)Declare emergency, get help

2) Machine to pt, hypoxia difffernetial, especially cuff herniation
3) Hand ventilate, check for compliance
4) 100% FiO2, recruitment breaths
5) Check other monitors - ischemia
6) Auscultate
7) Suction
8) CPAP to operative lung
9) PEEP to non-operative lung

18
Q

Causes of Decreased SVO2

A

“Decreased supply vs increased extraction
Decreased supply
Hgb - bleeding
Hypovolemia
Increased extraction
Hypermetabolic states - MH, Sepsis, Thyrotoxicosis”

19
Q

Pacemakers - Drugs to avoid

A

“Etomidate - myoclonus
Sux - fasiculations
Halothane - AV conduction defects
Lidocaine - decreased AV conduction”

20
Q

CEA post-op complications

A

“MI - #1 cause of morbidity after CEA
Neuro/stroke -
Cranial nerve injury
Respiratory - B/L CEA abolishes respiratory drive, predisposes to apnea”

21
Q

Indications for intubation

A
"Apnea
Inability to protect airway
Protection from aspiration
Potential airway compromise
GCS<9
Inability to maintain oxygenation"
22
Q

"SBP>160
DBP>110
Signs of end organ damage
Proteinuria >5gm in 24 hours
Oliguria 
Pulmonary edema

RUQ pain/Impaired liver fxn
HELLP
TCP???
IUGR or oligohydramnios"
23
Q

Shunt reduced by gravity as 60% of BF goes to non-op lung
HPV - shunts 80% of BF to non-op lung
Surgical compression - further shunts blood away from operative lung”
