Pharmacologic Response to CPB- Exam 3 Flashcards
Pharmacokinetics
What the body does to the drug
Pharmacodynamics
How a drug interacts with the body to produce its effects
First order kinetics
elimination of a drug occurs at a constant fraction of drug remaining in the body per unit of time
Zero order kinetics
when drug administration exceeds the body’s ability to clear it, leading to drug accumulation
To prevent drug accumulation, what should be done?
Drug infusion rates should be adjusted according to patient response

Changes in Pharmacokinetics due to CPB
Hemodilution Hypothermia Perfusion Acid-Base Status Sequestration
Changes in Pharmacokinetics due to CPB
Hemodilution Hypothermia Perfusion Acid-Base Status Sequestration
Hemodilution
Reduction in circulating protein concentration
Reduction in RBC concentration
Reduction in concentration of free drug (unless your pump prime matches exactly)
Alterations in organ blood flow, affecting distribution and clearance

What happens if you add drugs to your prime BEFORE RAP? or AFter RAP?
Lose some when you rap
most of the time you wont have time to add drugs after you rap
usually you’ll go on pump right after you rap

Hypothermia
Fluid shifts from intravascular to interstitial space
(altered volume of distribution, increased 3rd spacing)
Vasoconstriction (changes in organ perfusion)
Reduction in enzyme-mediated biotransformation
increased solubility of volatile anesthetics

What are two important things to keep in mind regarding patient during perfusion?
Lungs excluded form circulation (valium, propofol, opioids)
Altered hepatic blood flow - vasoconstriction (fentanyl, propofol)

Acid Base Status
Altered organ blood flow (ph stat= increase cerebral blood flow)
altered ionization and protein binding
Sequestration
Drugs may be taken up by various components of the CPB circuit
- coated tubing
- oxygenators
- hemofilters (many factors influence the movmement of drug across the membrane; degree of protein binding is a major determinant)
When administering medications
Ensure you have physician’s order or standing protocol authorizing you to administer the medication
The patient is not allergic to the medication
you should have the correct medication, the correct concentration and the correct dosage
Inspect the medication for expiration date, precipitates and sterility

What is in your drug box?
Heparin Neo-Synephrine NaHCO3 Lidocaine MgSO4 Calcium Potassium Mannitol
What is heparin sodium derived from?
Bovine lung tissue or porcine mucosa standardized for anticoagulant activity
How is the potency of heparin sodium determined?
By biological assay using a USP reference standard based on units of heparin activity per milligram
Units/Mg Heparin Conversation
100 units = 1 mg
Ex. 5,000 units = 50 mg
What is the action of heparin sodium?
Stops coagulation by potentiating antithrombin III and inhibiting the action of activated Factors IX and XI

How is heparin eliminated?
kidneys
What is the half-life of heparin?
At CPB doses is 2 or more hours; prolonged by hypothermia and renal blood flow alterations

Heparin Side Effects
Activation of t-PA and platelets
Boluses decrease SVR by 10-20%
Anaphylaxis rarely occurs
HIT and HITT
Heparin Loading Dose
300-450 units/kg
Rarely needs to exceed 35,000 to 40,000 units
How does heparin distribute?
Primarily in plasma, so increasing dose with increasing body weight is only relevant to a certain point

What concentration of heparin should be added to prime?
Priming solution should contain heparin at approx the same concentration of the patient’s blood stream
What prolongs the ACT?
Hypothermia, and hemodilution
What is target ACT?
Controversial (300 to 480 seconds)
Most vials you will see for adult CPB will be what concentration?
1000 units/ mL
Ex. Loading dose: 30,000 units
30,000 units x 1mL/1000units = 30 mL
Neo-Synephrine Action
Synthetic selective alpha 1- adrenergic agonist that causes vasoconstriction in arterioles
Neo-Synephrine Duration
Less than 5 minutes
How is Neo dosed?
Titrated to effect
What should you always do when giving neo?
Start with a test dose
Neo-Synephrine Dosing
IV bolus:
100 ug/mL
200 ug/mL
400 ug/mL
IV infusion:
10 or 15 mg in 250 mL IV fluid (40-60 ug/mL)

Sodium Bicarbonate
A sterile, nonpyrogenic, hypertonic solution of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) in water for injection for administration by the intravenous route as an electrolyte replenisher and system alkalizer
Also used to treat hyperkalemia
NaHCO3 Dosing
Dose (mEq) = 0.3 x Weight (kg) x BD (mEq/L)
*Or just “1 amp” (50 mEq)
NaHCO3 Dose for Hyperkalemia
Adults: 50 mEq
Peds: 1-2 mEq/kg
Lidocaine Action
reduces cell membrane permeability for sodium and potassium which increases the stimulation thresholds in ventricles
