One vasodilator
all preprogrammed and ready to use
When preparing for a cardiovascular case, what kinds of bolus meds should you have drawn and ready?
One Inotrope
One Vasopressor
One Vasodilator
Plus adrenergic blocker
When preparing for a cardiovascular case, what other meds should you have ready for bolus?
Antiarrythmic drugs
Anticoagulants and reversal agents
(heparin and protamine)
Should you have a pt stop their chronic cardiac meds before surgery?
no, except in rare incidences
In the preinduction setting, what last minute checks should you make?
SOAP S - Suction O - Oxygen A - Airway equipment P - Pharmacy
What monitors should you have set-up for the cardiovascular pt?
Basic monitors (BP, ECG, pulse ox) Invasive monitors (Art line)
What meds should you use for induction on the cardiovascular pt?
Standard induction drugs
- Hypnotic
- Opioids
- Muscle relaxants
- Maintenance meds
How are induction drugs selected for the cardiovascular pt?
Depend on pts condition and the preference of the attending anesthesiologist.
Have routine drugs available for induction including rescue drugs
Why are high dose opioids not generally used for surgical cases?
Due to long postoperative intubation times otherwise they provide good stress response suppression and hemodynamic stability during surgery.
What’s the common dose for Fentanyl?
3-10 mcg/kg
What is a common dose for Sufentanil?
0.1-1 mcg/kg
Provides faster recovery time than fentanyl
Common dose of Remifentanil?
0.5-1mcg/kg
Requires careful provision of postop pain
What are some common hypnotics?
Propofol Etomidate Thiopental Ketamine Scopolomine (less common)
Propofol dose?
Issues with propofol?
Does 1-2mg/kg
- capable of dropping SVR, MAP, CI, SV
- Use with caution or reserve for hemodynamically stable pts with good ventricular function
What is the common dose for Etomidate?
0.2 mg/kg
