PVD, Pericardial, HF Flashcards
Causes of pericardial inflammation
Infection (viral, bacterial, fungal, TB), MI (dressler’s syndrome), trauma/cardiology, metastatic disease, drugs, mediastinal radiation, systemic disease, RA, SLE, scleroderma
Acute pericarditis dx
Onset severe CP w insp especially. Diffuse ST seg elev, PR seg dec, T wave inversion. Pericardial friction rub
Tx acute pericarditis
In absence of what doesnt alter function
Salicylate/NSAIDS, analgesics, steroids.
Effusion
Most effective method to detect effusion
Echo- presence and size
Cardiac tamponade: exists when what. Filling related to what
Inc in pericardial pressure impairs diastolic filling. Filling r/t diastolic transmural pressure across each chamber
In tamponade what reduces filling
Any increase in pericardial pressure r/t pressure within chamber
S/s tamponade
Inc CVP, pulsus paradoxus, equalization of cv filling pressures, low BP/CO/SV/ecg voltage, SNS activ, tachypnea, Jvd, muffled heart sounds
Tamponade tx
Pericardiocentesis, subxiphoid pericardiostomy, thoracic pericardiostomy (open or thoroscopic)
Tamponade- anesthesia management
Volume, inc contractility, correct metabolic acidosis. Local or ketamine
What causes constrictive pericarditis
Idiopathic, previous cv surgery, exposure to radiotherapy, TB
Constrictive pericarditis s/s
CVP, RAP, PCWP high, CO low, tired, atrial dysrhythmias, edema, ascites, hepatomegaly, pulsus paradoxus, JVD
Constrictive pericarditis tx
Surgical stripping and removal of pericardium
Constrictive pericarditis anesthesia management
Minimize changes to HR/SVR/preload/contractility (ketamine, etomidate, panc). Avoid Brady. Maintain volume to avoid low BP (IV and a line). Blood transfusions, a lot of intraop blood loss.
PVD: ABI less than what
0.9. Ration SBP to DBP in ankle vs brachial artery
What causes PVD
Atherosclerosis most often, arterial embolism, vasculitis
Atherosclerosis RF: 9
DM, age, male, obese/sedentary, essential htn, smoking, dyslipidemia, family hx
Atherosclerosis: most common symptom
Intermittent claudication, angina of legs. Pain starts w exercise and stops w rest
