☺ No one formula permits a definitive decision
☺ Replace\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_blood with \_\_\_\_\_Of L 
☺ Be aware of blood disorders (sickle cell disease)
A
20 in mature children
Premature,
- Cyanotic congenital disease
- Decreased  O2 carrying capacity
Hct ~ 30 

1ml blood with 3 ml of LR

122
Q

What is a late sign of decreased O2 carrying capacity

A

☺ Lactic acidosis

123
Q

Bleeding and FFP rule of thumb

A

☺ A patient should be never given FFP to replace bleeding that is surgical in nature

124
Q

Blood transfusion : If transfused faster than________ severe______May occur

A

1.0 ml/kg/min ionized hypocalcemia may occur

125
Q

BLood transfusion Ionized hypocalcemia can occur in neonates frequently why?

A

because of decreased ability to mobilize Ca++ and metabolize citrate

126
Q

Monitoring the Pediatric Patients:

A
☺ Must be consistent with the severity of the
underlying medical condition
☺ Minimal monitoring:
I. ASA monitors
II. ***Precordial stethoscope***
III. Anesthetic agent analyzer
127
Q

Special Monitoring the Pediatric
Patients:
☺ Intraarterial catheter - most common _______
☺ Pulmonary artery catheters are indicated or not? why?
☺ In a case of severe multisystem organ failure
What might be helpful ?
☺_____________atheters are valuable in ICU patients
☺ In a case of rapid fluid replacement ______________might be very useful
☺__________________________
or umbilical vein may be life-saving

A

☺ Intraarterial catheter - most common radial
☺ Pulmonary artery catheters are rarely indicated
because equalization of the pressure right/left heart
☺ In a case of severe multisystem organ failure
insertion of PAC might be particularly useful
☺ Multilumen catheters are valuable in ICU patients
☺ In a case of rapid fluid replacement peripheral
venous catheter might be very useful
☺ Short-term cannulation of femoral/brachiocephalic
or umbilical vein may be life-saving

128
Q

How do nonrebreathing circuits work?

A

• Expiration →exhaled gas pushed down expiatory
limb and collects in reservoir bag and opens
expiratory valve (“pop-off, APL”)
• All NRB are convenient, light weight, and easily
scavenged

129
Q

Recommended circuit in children is the
Use of _______is recommended in children < ___-kg
3 reasons?

A

☺Use of Mapleson D system is recommended in
children < 10 kg
• More sensitive to changes in gas flow
• More sensitive to humidification
• Actual delivered volume is greater than other systems

130
Q
Mapleson D is 
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ circuit
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
FGF tubing directed within the \_\_\_\_\_\_\_limb
FGF enters \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
Adds more \_\_\_\_+\_\_\_\_\_\_
A
  • Bain circuit
  • “coaxial” Mapleson D circuit
  • FGF tubing directed within the inspiratory limb
  • FGF enters circuit near mask
  • Adds more heat + humidity
131
Q
Anesthesia Circuits: Non-Rebreathing 
Speeds-up rate of \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
•\_\_\_\_\_\_\_And \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ are less
(small circuit volume)
• No \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_r = rebreathing highly dependent
on \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
• Minimum FGF \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
A
All lack unidirectional valves
• Minimal work of breathing
Speeds-up rate of inhalational induction
• Compression and compliance volumes are less
(small circuit volume)
• No CO2 scrubber = rebreathing highly dependent
on FGF
• Minimum FGF 5L/min (or 2-3 x MV)

A

MUSCULAR RELAXANT PROPERTIES

Q

REDUCE doses of volatiles anesthetics because they also have muscular relaxant properties
