Q

if using a bovie in the OR and pt has a AICD what should you do

A

place magnet on pts chest to shut off cardioverter - still allows pacer to fx but will not pick up interference from bovie, thus will not give un-needed shock to pt

Q

use of BB with heart failure

A
  1. decrease SNS stimulation –> decreased circulating catecholamines
  2. increases EF
  3. decreases remodelling
269
Q

use of natriuretic peptides for HF

A
  1. diuresis
  2. natriueresis
  3. vasodilation
  4. antiinflammatory
  5. inhibits SNS and RAAS
270
Q

use of RAAS medications for HF

A
  1. prevents cardiac remodelling
    2.. prevents vasoconstriction –> no increase in cardiac filling, no decrease in CO
  2. prevents sodium and water retention (no increase in cardiac filling pressures
271
Q

management of diastolic HF

A
  1. if have SHF –> prevent!
  2. caution use of diuretics
  3. maintain normal sinus rhythm and HR control
  4. correct preciptiating factors
272
Q

surgical mangement of heart failure

A
  1. PTCA or CABG
  2. cardiac resynchronization therapy
  3. AICD
  4. cardioMEMS - implanted PAP monitor
  5. VAD bridge therapy
  6. total artifical heart
  7. transplant
273
Q

anesthesia considerations with heart failure

A
  1. optimize pt condition
  2. cardiac resynchronization therapy
  3. AICD
  4. cardioMEMS - implanted PAP monitor
  5. VAD bridge therapy
  6. total artifical heart
  7. transplant
