Q

Metabolic Changes after cuff deflation

A

Increase:

  • PaCO2
  • ETCO2
  • lactate
  • potassium

Decreased:

  • PaO2
  • pH
  • See increase in minute volume in spont breathing pt and possibly dysrhythmias
  • Reperfusion injuries from free radical formation

Q

Fat embolism syndrome diagnosis

A
  • Petechiae
  • Fat globules - retina, urine, sputum
  • Coagulation abnl: thrombocytopenia, prolonged clotting time sometimes seen
  • Progressive pulm involvement from mild hypoxia and clear CXR to ARDS
  • Under GETA see decline in ETCO2 and SPO2 and rise in PAP (peak airway pressures)
  • Treatment is supportive. Early stabilization is key to prevention.

Q

Deep Venous Thrombosis and PE risk factors (including highest)

A

-post pelvic and lower extremity surgery

Risk factors:

  • age > 60yr
  • obesity
  • tournique
  • procedures >30 min
  • lower extremity fx
  • immobilzation > 4 days

-Highest risk are in knee and hip replacements

Q

Role of Neuraxial Anesthesia in less chance of DVT

A
  • Sympathectomy induced increases in venous blood flow
  • Antiinflammatory effects of local anesthesia
  • Decreased platelet activity
  • Decreased rise in factor VIII and Von Willebrand factor
  • Less fall in antithrombin III
  • Less stress hormone release

Q

Selection of Anesthesia:

A

Regional

  • Pt with multiple medical problems
  • Pt with full stomach

General

  • May need rapid sequence induction
  • If remote, mask or LMA maybe okay
17
Q

Hip Fracture Predictors of peri-op mortality (5):

A
  • Age >85 yrs
  • H/o cancer
  • Baseline/pre-op alteration in neuro status
  • Post-op chest infection
  • Post-op wound infection
18
Q

Hip Fracture: Benefits of regional anesthesia

A
  • Reduced blood loss
  • Reduced dvt / pe (advantage over general)
  • Quicker return to baseline neuro

Will lose benefit of regional if…

  • Pt oversedated
  • Pt is allowed to become hypoxic
  • After two months, no difference in mortality for regional vs general
19
Q

Hip fracture: Minimize postop cognitive impairment

A
-Minimize use of midazolam in older pt
Maintain:
-oxygenation
-hemoglobin 
-normocapnea
20
Q

THA intraop management: Embolic event most frequent at ___________________________

A

insertion of femoral component

21
Q

THA intraop: Blood Loss

A

400-1500 ml, 2000 ml for revisions

22
Q

TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY TKA: EBL

A

EBL less intraop (100-200 ml) as limited by tourniquet

23
Q

Highest rate of dvt of all ortho procedures

A

TKA

24
Q

TKA: Less bone cement syndrome than hip, but release of emboli w/tourniquet deflation may increase __________

A

hypotension (Check BP after tourniquet goes down)

25
Q

Use of tourniquet is better where?

A

better to use upper leg/arm d/t only being 1 bone

26
Q

Re-implantations: anesthetic concerns

A
  • Maintain body temp!!!
  • Regulation of fluids be on heavy side of fluids
  • Maintenance of blood flow
    - Optimal HCT 28-30%
    - Keep warm
    - Avoid vasoconstrictors (ephedrine better choice if needed)
    - Dextran or heparin infusion intraop

Roots, trunk - shoulder to hand

Q

Supraclavicular block
