Q

What is a critical pre-op evaluation for patients w/ DM1 undergoing Kidney Transplant?

A

Airway Evaluation & PFTs

They are stiff and have limited CROM

17
Q

Why should N2O be avoided for Kidney Transplants?

A

Expands bowel and gets in the way

18
Q

Avoid _______ drugs because transplanted kidney is senstive to sympathomimetics and blood flow to the organ can be compromised

A

Avoid ALPHA ADRNERGIC drugs because transplanted kidney is senstive to sympathomimetics and blood flow to the organ can be compromised

19
Q

Which NMB should be used for Kidney Transplants?

A

Succinylcholine if K+ is Normal

otherwise, Cisatacurium or Mivacurium

20
Q

What can be given as a prophylaxis for diabetic gastroparesis regarding Kidney Transplants?

A

Sodium Citrate

Citric Acid

Reglan

H2 Blockers 6-12 hrs before induction

21
Q

When should Diuretics be given to maintain Renal Perfusion & Enhance Urine Production?

A

Before unclamping vascular supply to Transplanted Kidney

22
Q

How should Hypotension be managed during Reperfusion of the Kidney Graft?

A

Crystalloid

Colloid

Low-Dose Dopamine

23
Q

What should be given for HYPERtension during Emergence for Kidney Transplant surrgery?

A

Short-Acting Anti-Hypertensives

&

AVOID Long-Acting B-Blockers to prevent K+ Increase

24
Q

A

Hyperdynamic Circulation

Low PVR

Increased Cardiac Index

25
Q

What is a major pre-op eval for Liver Transplant?

26
Q

What happens during the Pre-Anhepatic Phase?

A

Lysis of Adhesion

Liver Mobilization

Hepatic Artery, CBD, Supra & Infra Vena Cava, Portal Vein Dissection

Possible Shunting Procedure to redirect Venous flow into Venous Circ.

27
Q
