hypoxia
hypotension
mill-wheel murmur
Air Embolism treatment
LLD + Tburg 100% FiO2 Flood field, stop all insufflation, N2O etc Central Line + Aspirate CPR 100 - 120/m
crani case - compress jugular veins
epi 1 - 10mcg/kg; epi 0.02-1 mcg/kg/m
Anaphylaxis s/s
hypotension
tachycardia
rash, bronchospasm
Anaphylaxis tx
- 100% FiO2
- treat hypotension w/fluids - 10 - 30 mL/kg
- pressors - epi 1-10 mcg/kg, vasopressin 10 mu/kg
- diphenhydramine 1 mg/kg or pepcid 0.25 mg/kg
- methylprednisone 2 mg/kg
- albuterol 4 - 6 puffs
Anterior mediastinal mass airway collapse
oxygen 100%
CPAP/PEEP
lateral/prone
rigid bronch
anterior mediastinal mass CV collapse
Increase O2 to 100% Give fluid bolus Reposition to lateral or prone Ask surgeon for sternotomy and elevation of mass Consider ECMO
bradycardia definition
< 30 days = < 100
<1 yr = <80
> 1 yr < 60
bradycardia + hypotension
chest compressions
epi 10 mcg/kg
bradycardia (no hypotension)
100% oxygen
fix ventilation
vagal - atropine 0.01 mg/kg
CCB overdose
cacl 10 - 20 mg/kg IV
ca gluconate 50 mg/kg IV
BB overdose
glucagon 50 mcg/kg
bronchospasm s/s
drop in ETCO2
drop in O2
airway pressure increases
shark fin
bronchospasm tx (intubated pt)
Increase FiO2 to 100%
1. Auscultate the chest:
• Equal breath sounds?
• Endobronchial ETT?
• Wheezing?
2. Check ETT:
• Kinked?
• Secretions/blood in ETT? Needs suctioning?
3. albuterol 2-10 puffs
4. deepen anesthetic
5. ketamine 1-2 mg/kg IV
6. EPI 1-2 MICROgrams/kg IV (MAX 1 mg)
7. steroids: methylprednisolone 2 mg/kg IV(MAX 60 mg) or dexamethasone 0.15-0.25 mg/kg(MAX 16 mg)
8. Consider chest radiograph
9. For refractory bronchospasm, consider magnesium
sulfate 50-75 mg/kg (MAX 2 grams) bolused over 20
minutes, (CAUTION, may cause hypotension)
bronchospasm tx (non-intubated)
- Administer supplemental oxygen
- Auscultate the chest, differentiate from
stridor/extrathoracic airway obstruction - albuterol (with spacer) 2.5-5 mg. If severe, 5-20 mg/hr inhaled
- chest radiograph
- Consider IV steroids:
methylprednisolone 1 mg/kg IV
or dexamethasone 0.15-0.25 mg/kg - EPINEPHrine
1-2 MICROgrams/kg IV (MAX 1 mg) or
10 MICROgrams/kg
subcutaneous/intramuscular (MAX 0.5 mg)
Cardiac Arrest
Increase O2 to 100%. Turn off anesthetics. Start timer
1. If ETT, 100-120 chest compressions/min + 10 breaths/min. Avoid hyperventilation
2. If no ETT, 15:2 compression
3. For chest compressions, maximize EtCO2 > 10 mmHg
• Use sudden increase in EtCO2 for ROSC, Do NOT stop compressions for pulse check
4. Obtain defibrillator. Attach pads. If VF/VT, shock 2 joules/kg. Continue chest compressions for 2
minutes
cardiac arrest part 2
If still in VF/VT, shock 4 joules/kg q2 min (up to 10 joules/kg on subsequent shocks)
-Resume chest compressions immediately regardless of rhythm
- EPINEPHrine 10 MICROgrams/kg IV q 3-5 min while in arrest (MAX 1 mg)
• If still no ROSC after second dose of EPINEPHrine, activate ECMO (if available)
- Check pulse & rhythm q 2 min during compressor change
-Lidocaine 1 mg/kg bolus (MAX 100 mg); may repeat (total: 2 doses) OR amiodarone 5 mg/kg
bolus; may repeat (total: 3 doses)

difficult airway unexpected
100% fio2 call for help - surgical airway cart, rigid bronch OPA/NPA/LMA attempts OG decompression reverse?
after 2 attempts change providers; consider alternative approaches

hyperkalemia treatment
