25
Q

which drugs should you avoid in the kidney patient because the transplanted kidney is sensitive to sympathomimetics?

A

alpha adrenergics

26
Q

renal transplant patient: choice of muscle relaxant depends on K+ level. In normokalemic pts, succs is safe, otherwise ____ or _____ is preferable

A

cisatracurium (0.1mg/kg) or mivacurium (.15-0.2mg/kg)

27
Q

T/F Reversal of muscle relaxants with neostigmine and robinul is safe with patients in ESRD.

A

TRUE

28
Q

which drug may increase gastric emptying and LES tone

A

metoclopramide

29
Q

if diabetic gastroparesis is a concern, _____ is administered immediately prior to the induction of anesthesia to decrease gastric acid content.

A

non-particulate antacid sodium citrate and citric acid oral solution 30mL

30
Q

If time allows, administration of ____ 6-12h prior to induction can decrease gastric acid production

A

H2 blocker

31
Q

before unclamping vascular supply to transplanted kidney, give ___ and ____

A

mannitol , loop diuretics

32
Q

why is reperfusion of the kidney graft associated with hypotension

A

reduction in preload as a consequence of unclamping the iliac artery

33
Q

how should you treat hotn related to unclamping the iliac?

A

crystalloid, colloid, low-dose dopamine

34
Q

why should you avoid long acting beta blockers for emergence in renal transplant patients?

A

they may raise K+ levels.

give short acting anti-hypertensives

35
Q

alcoholic cirrhosis patient may be considered for transplant if……

A

abstinence of alcohol for 6 months and ongoing therapy and evaluation

36
Q

T/F Most livers available for transplantation come from brain dead donors.

A

FALSE - most come from heart beating cadaveric donors.

37
Q

What happens to SVR and CI with chronic liver dysfunction and cirrhosis?

A

SVR is reduced, CI is increased

38
Q

Differential diagnosis of hepatic encephalopathy includes which other conditions?

A

many other confocal neurologic conditions such as hypoglycemia, hyponatremia, intracranial hemorrgae or mass lesions, and meningitis.

39
Q

blood changes expected with liver failure - platelets?

A

thrombocytopenia

40
Q

blood changes expected with liver failure - PT and PTT?

A

prolonged

41
Q

blood changes expected with liver failure - fibrinogen

A

decreased plasma fibrinogen concentration

42
Q

T/F DIC as well as protein C/S deficiency is associated with Liver failure.

A

TRUE

43
Q

T/F Hyperkalemia and hypocalcemia are associated with liver failure.

A

FALSE - HYPOkalemia, HYPOcalcemia.

44
Q

Which acid-base imbalance is associated with liver failure

A

metabolic acidosis

45
Q

Preanhepatic phase is associated with ___calcemia , ____kalemia, and metabolic _____

A

hypocalcemia, hyperkalemia, metabolic acidosis

46
Q

T/F Expect preload and CVP to be elevated during the preanhepatic phase.

A

FALSE - impaired venous return from surgical retraction and IVC clamping

47
Q

T/F Hemorrhage and coagulation problems are both concerning in the preanhepatic phase.

A

TRUE

48
Q

The anhepatic phase begins with what part of the procedure?

A

clamping of hepatic blood flow

49
Q

What causes profound hypotension and tachycardia in the anhepatic phase?

A

the bicaval clamp - clamps vena cava above and below liver. this drops preload, causing profound hypotension and tachycardia.

50
Q

During which phase should you be concerned about citrate intoxication and why?

A

during the anhepatic phase because of rapid infusion of large volumes of blood in absence of liver function

51
Q

Where do you want K levels during the neophatic phase

A

<4.5

Q

severe hemodynamic instability may occur with unclamping of portal vein - also called _____ syndrome

A

post reperfusion

53
Q

T/F You should load the patient with fluids prior to unclamping.

A

FALSE - fluid overload prior to unclamping should be avoided. but you may need potent vasopressors- epi, norepinephrine, both.

54
Q

Reperfusion syndrome - what happens to HR and BP

A

DROP

may see bradyarrythmias

55
Q

Reperfusion syndrome - what happens to PVR

A

increases

56
Q

Reperfusion syndrome - what happens to SVR

A

decreases

57
Q

Reperfusion syndrome - what happens to potassium levels

A

can see rapid increase

58
Q

Why do severe coagulopathies occur in reperfusion syndrome?

A

d/t fibrinolysis, release of heparin and hypothermia

59
Q

what are some signs of a functioning hepatic graft?

A

intraoperative bile production, intraoperative spontaneous correction of negative base excess, improvement in coagulation

60
Q

T/F As a consequence of denervation, the transplanted heart has no sensory, sympathetic, and parasympathetic innervations

A

TRUE.

61
Q

Should the HR be kept high or low post heart transplant?

A

high, 90-110’s because the parasympathetic innervation that normally lowers the HR is not present.
