PERIOPERATIVE Flashcards
urine dipstick positive for “trace” blood without RBCs
myoglobinuria
serum CK seen in rhabdo
10 fold upper limit of normal
potassium during and after exercise
rise markedly during extreme exercise but fall to concentrations well below baseline even at 5 min after cessation of activity and remain below baseline for several hrs
directly proportional to bulk of muscle mass used during exercise
change in pH of 0.1 equates to a change in bicarb of approx
6 mEq/L
how do you measure anion gap
Na + K - Cl - HCO3
high anion gap causes
Methanol ingestion Uremia DKA Propylene glycol Isoniazid intox Lactate Ethylene glycol ingestion Rhabdo Salicylates
fenestrating subtotal chole
leaving infundibulum/cystic duct orifice open with placement of drain in Morison poiuch
reconstituting method for subtotal chole
closure of a cuff of infundibulkum over the top of the cystic duct orifice
highest risk of stroke according to CHADS VASC
age 75 or older, previous stroke/TIA
variables involved in Frailty index
comorbidiites

Nutrition
gram negative infections resistant to other antibiotics - consider what type of abx?
aminoglycoside
acid base disturbance seen in malignant hyperthermia
respiratory acidosis and in most cases metabolic acidosis
pathophys of MH
uncontrolled release of intracellular calcium from SR of skeletal muscle –> abnormal skeletal muscle metabolism –> skeletal muscle contraction, rigidity, increased oxygen consumption and CO2 production
which type of anesthetics are known triggers for MH
all inhalation anesthetics EXCEPT ITROUS OCIDE
succinylcholine
dose of dantrolene
2.5 mg/kg
MOA of dantrolene
inhibits ryanodine receptor channel which reduces RyR1 channel activity in muscle cells
tx of MH aside from dantrolene
admin of IV saline at 4 degrees celsius
topical ice to all exposed areas
peritoneal washing with cold saline
what electrolyte can worsen the clinical syndrome of MH
calcium!
repeated ventricular dysrhythmias in MH - treatment?
amiodarone
first sign of MH
increase in end tidal CO2
1st to go down and last to recover from paralytics
neck msucles and face
last muscle to go down and first to recover from paralytics
diaphragm
depolarizing paralytic
succinylcholine
which non depolarizing agent undergoes hoffman elimination
cis atracurium
