Pre-bypass Flashcards
What are components of goal directed therapy
- optimize myocardial oxygen supply/demand balance
- optimize ventricular pressure-volume relationship
- maintain contractility and CO
- control heart rate and rhythm
what is it important to protect against pre-bypass
ischemia
Periods of high stimulation
- incision
- sternotomy
- pericardiotomy
periods of low stimulation
- pre-incision
- IMA harvest
- cannulation of aorta
Why do you bring systolic own to 90 during cannulation of aorta
to prevent embolic incidents
Risks of redo sternotomy
- be prepared to crash on bypass
- adhesions of vessels to posterior side of sternum, auricular appendage
Two common risks with sternotomy
IMA dissection and brachial plexus injury
Other risks with sternotomy
- retractor compression of left subclavian artery
- radial nerve injury from post supporting the pittman retractor
- risk of sternal fracture
- papaverine - hypotension and anaphylaxis
Sources for graft
- IMA
- Radial artery
- saphenous vein
- gastroepiploic artery
common issues pre-bypass
- ischemia
- hypotension
- hypertension
- rate probelms
- hyperglycemia
What reduces the incidence of perioperative MI before bypass
prevention and rapid treamtent of ischemia
major risk factor for ischemia?
tachycardia
considerations for why the patient is ischemic
tachycardia
hypertension
hypotension
hypoxia
How can you alter your anesthetic plan to remedy ischemia
- lighten/deepen your anesthetic
- vasodilator
- BBlocker
- pressor/inotrope (with caution)
Nitroglycerine mechanism of action on preload and afterload
Decrease preload through venodilation resulting in decreased LV filling pressures and decreased diastolic chamber size
Decreased afterload with decreases systolic pressures, decreases SVR and improves coronary circulation
Nitrates role in coronary circulation
- epicardial cornoary artery dilation
- reactive areas only
- athermatous vessels do not react/dilate
- increase collateral coronary artery flow and vessel diameter
- improves subendocardial flow
- reversal and prevention of coronary vasospasm and vasoconstriction
