(3) methods for monitoring Ischemia
ECG, pulmonary artery catheter, and TEE
(3) disadvantages of using Agents with CAD
- myocardial depression
- systemic hypotension
- lack of post-op analgesia
drug of choice for coronary vasospasms
Nitroglycerin
Nitroglycerin
treats coronary vasospasm
- venodilator
- decreases venous return and filling pressures
Phenylephrine
increases myocardial oxygen requirements, but increases coronary perfusion pressure
Verapamil
CCB for treating SVT
Normal pulmonary wedge pressure
12
(above 18 is too high)
How would you treat decreased BP and increased PCWP in a patient with CAD?
phenylephrine, NTG and an inotrope
An ejection fraction less than ____ indicates myocardial dysfunction
0.4
LVED pressure greater than _____ indicates myocardial dysfunction
18 mmHg
“LAMPS” before CPB
- Labs
- ACT and HCT
- Anesthesia
- Monitor
- BP, CVP, and PACWP
- Patient
- Support
(7) Components of Cardiopulmonary Bypass
- circuit
- oxygenator

CPB primer decreases HCT to ____
< 30%
ACT goal during CPB
> 400 seconds
Hypothermia during CPB
10 - 15 oC
Systemic BP decreased to _____ before aortic cannulation during CPB
80 - 100 mmHg
(reduces risk of aortic dissection)
Most likely cause of neurologic injury after CPB
emboli
(with hypotension being a contributing cause)
Laboratory tests during CPB
- ACT
- HCT
- ABG
- potassium
- glucose
Monitoring during CPB
- BP
- CVP
- ECG - flat line
- urine output
- temperature
Why should mixazolam be given before rewarming?
high risk of awareness
5 - 10 mg
dose of Protamine
1 mg/100 units of Heparin
- administer slowly
- double check with surgeon
- Check ACT before giving
Intra-aortic balloon pumps ___ before systole to ____ afterload and ____ during diastole to ____ coronary blood flow
Intra-aortic balloon pumps deflate before systole to decrease afterload and inflates during diastole to increase coronary blood flow
(3) Side effects of Protamine
hypotension, allergic reaction, and pulmonary hypertension
normal Mitral valve area
4 - 6 cm2
Normal Aortic valve area
2.5 - 3.5 cm2
mitral stenosis area
< 1 cm2
aortic stenosis area
< 0.75 cm2
Murmur in Mitral stenosis
rumblic diastolic
Murmur in aortic stenosis
systolic ejection murmur
(right upper sternal border)
Pathophysiology of Mitral Stenosis
- increased left atrial pressure and volume overload
- impaired blood flow from left atrium to left ventricle
- right ventricular hypertrophy
- pulmonary edema
- increase in left atrial pressure reflected back to pulmonary circulation
most common cause of mitral stenosis
rheumatic fever
Anesthetic considerations in Mitral Stenosis
avoid increased HR or decreased SVR

atrial fibrillation
Mitral stenosis has impaired blood flow from _____ to _____
left atrium to left ventricle
(3) Symptoms of Aortic Stenosis
angina, CHF, and syncope
Murmur in mitral regurgitation
holosystolic
(best heard at lower left sternal border)
Murmur in Aortic regurgitation
decrescendo diastolic

Diagnostic methods of Mitral regurge
ECHO and angiogram
Mitral Regurge Treatment
- cardiac glycosides
- hydralazine
- ACE inhibitor
- CHF regimen
mangement goals in Mitral regurge
- small increase in HR
- derease in SVR
Management goals in Aortic Regurgitation
- avoid overzealous fluid
- decrease afterload
- maintain contractility
- slight increase in HR
(4) classic symptoms of CHF
dyspnea, fatigue, fluid retention, and edema
decompensated fluid retention due to CHF may manifest as:
- pulmonary rales
