What is the maximum cold ischemic time for heart and lungs
4-6h
What is the maximum cold ischemic time for liver
12-24h
What is the maximum cold ischemic time for kidney
72h
brain dead patients are hypertensive or hypotensive?
hypotensive
what causes hypovolemia in the brain dead patient
diabetes insipidus, hemorrhage
when is anesthesia support of donor systems necessary until?
the proximal aorta is clamped.
when will anesthesia support be requires post cross clamp?
if the lungs are to be recovered for transplantation
why do you need to hyperventilate the lungs before they are harvested?
to insure that perfusion is delivered at the cellular level.
where do you want to keep th BP and CVP of the donor?
BP >100 systolic
CVP 8-12
where do you want to keep O2 sat and urine output of the donor
> 96% and urine >100cc/hr
T/F Muscle relaxant may be required for the donor
TRUE. may need muscle relaxant to neutralize spinal reflexes and relax the abdomen. want long acting… pavulon/vec are good choices
T/F Limit fluids in the donor before harvesting.
FALSE. Vigourous volume expansion with crystalloid and colloid is usually necessary to avoid hypotension. 6-8L
PRBC’s on hold for ____ donors. PRBC’s in the room for ____ donors.
renal on hold. liver in OR (2 or more units)
Absolute contraindications to organ implantation:
active uncontrolled infection, AIDS, inability tolerate immune suppression, severe cardiopulmonary/medical condition. continued drug/etoh abuse, extrahepatic malignancy, inability to comply with medical regimen, lack of psychosocial support
4 major indictions for kidney transplantation
DM, hypertension induced nephropathy, glomerulonephritis, polycystic kidney disease
what are the 2 most common reasons for people to need a renal transplant?
DM & HTN-induced nephropathy
a hemoglobin of __% or greater is needed for adequate O2 delivery to the heart and transplanted graft
8
which disease do patients often manifest with stiff joint syndrome making airway eval extremely important?
Type 1 IDDM.
These patients often manifest with stiff joint syndrome characterized by a fixation of the atlantooccipital joint along with limited head extension.
what is the lung function like in type 1 IDDM?
loss of elastic properties - decreased compliance - decrease in cough reactivity = restriction of lung volumes with reduced TV and FEV (forced expired ventilation)
how are you gonna calculate fluids for the living donor?
maintain UO > 100mL/hr
T/F N20 is contraindicated in renal transplants.
TRUE. distended bowel can get in surgeons way (laparoscopic)
which two drugs are given to continue perfusing kidney?
mannitol/ lasix
why would you need a PAC in a renal transplant case
to monitor CO, SVO2, and pulmonary arterial and capillary pressures
graft function is critically dependent on ____, so you should be attentive to ____ after reperfusion
perfusion pressure —- hypotension
