Q

What is a normal PaCO2?

A

36-44

17
Q

What is the golden rule for changes in ph based on change in PaCO2?

A

For every 10 torr change in PaCO2, the ph will change 0.08 unit in the opposite direction

18
Q

What are the predictors of postop renal failure?

A
Jaundice
LVF
Diabetes
Advanced age
Increased BUN/Cr
Cardiac or aortic surgery
19
Q

What is acute renal failure defined as?

A

A significant decrease in GFR over 2 weeks or less or inadequate urine output of less than 0.5ml/kg/hr

20
Q

What is a late sign of renal failure?

A

Elevated serum creatinine

21
Q

Does good urine output rule out ARF?

A

no

22
Q

How much can GFR be reduced before the labs show it?

A

50%

23
Q

What does a FeNa of less than 1 tell us?

A

The problem is prerenal

24
Q

What does a FeNa of greater than 3 tell us?

A

ATN

25
Q

What is the doubling of creatinine associated with?

A

A reduction in GFR of 50%

26
Q

What is the most sensitive test for renal failure?

A

Creatinine clearance

27
Q

What are the do the volatile anesthetics do to renal function?

A

Depress it, decrease urine output, GFR, RBF and electrolyte excretion

28
Q

Which volatile anesthetic can cause renal failure with low gas flows?

A

Sevoflurane - makes compound A

29
Q

Which NMBs can be used in patients with renal failure?

A

Atracurium, cisatracurium because they undergo Hoffman elimination

30
Q

What are the indications for dialysis?

A
Uremic platelet dysfunction
uremic symptoms
uremic percarditis/tamponade
bleeding
hypervolemia
CHF
Severe acidosis
Hyperkalemia
