Size isn't everything, some like 'em small- PVD Flashcards

1
Q

What

A
  • After donor and recipient arteries are exposed, tunnel is created and graft is passed
  • Graft may be saphenous vein or a prosthesis
    • usually prosthesis b/c if one vein is so bad they need a graft, the saphenous vein probably isnt much better
  • Heparine IV given (note time)
  • Anastomosis are constructed
  • Arteriogram to confirm adequate flow
  • heparin not likely to be reversed b/c it is probably a small dose

Q

Pt with PVD has _____ greater risk of MI, stroke, and death

A

3-5x

These pts probably also have CAD

Q

What are the preferred anesthesia techniques for peripheral revascularization surgeries?

A
  • Regional Anesthesia:
    • increased graft blood flow
    • less increase in SVR with cross-clamping
    • postoperative pain relief
    • less activation of the coagulation system
  • Regional Vs General
    • assess for coagulopathy
    • If regional, spinal may be best to avoid hematoma
    • No difference in cardiopulmonary complications btw RA and GA
    • Significantly fewer graft occlusion complications with RA

Q

What should you consider for the anesthesia management of a peripheral revascularization surgery?

A
  • Consider co-morbidities
  • Medication Hx and impact on anesthesia delivery
  • end organ perfusion and oxygenation- may want foley
  • blood gases to not electrolyte and pH changes
  • Cross clamp- heparin administration
    • record time
    • reversal?

Q

How should you monitor a pt during peripheral revascularization surgery?

A
  • Pts typically have CAD, DM, HTN
  • Make sure pt takes BBs and other chronic meds
  • Art line
  • CVP or catheter- to monitor intravascular volume
  • EBL
  • estimated third space

Q

What are the goals when managing the anesthesia of a pt with mitral stenosis?

A
  • Goals: slow, tight, full
  • Avoid tachycardia or rapid ventricular response rate during afib (slow)
  • avoid marked increases in central blood volume that could be caused by over transfusion or head-down position
  • Avoid drug-induced decreases in SVR (tight)
  • Avoid events such as arterial hypoxia and/or hypoventialtion that may exacerbate pulmonary HTN and evoke right ventricular failure

Q

How should you induce a pt with Mitral stenosis?

A
  • With drugs that are unlikely to increase HR (avoid ketamine) or abruptly decrease SVR
  • Ex. etomidate with balanced technique

Q

How should you try to manage the maintenance of anesthesia in a pt with Mitral stenosis?

A
  • Use drugs that have minimal affect on HR,SVR, PVR, and myocardial contractility
    • may need BBs and CCBs, phenylephrine
  • Monitoring:
    • need for invasive monitoring depends on the complexity of the procedure and magnitude of impairment caused by MS

Q

What are the goals when managing anesthesia for a patient with Aortic stenosis?

A
  • Avoid any events that would further decrease CO
  • Maintain NSR- properly times atrial contraction will produce an optimal LVEDV
  • avoid bradycardia or tachycardia
  • avoid hypotension- avoid decrease in SVR, very difficult to bring BP back up
  • Optimize intravascular fluid volume to maintain venous return ad left ventricular filling
  • **CPR is typically ineffective in pts with AS b/c it is impossible to get enough pressure to move blood through the small opening with compressions

Q

General anesthesia or Neuraxial anesthesia in pts with Aortic stenosis?

A
  • General anesthesia preferred because of the sympathetic block that causes decrease in SVR

Q

How is mitral regurgitation noted on a pulmonary arterial occlusion pressure waveform (PAOP)?

A
  • Regurgitant flow causes an exaggerated V wave
  • Size of V wave correlates with magnitude of regurgitant flow
  • Pic below shows normal wave (about 12), will go to 20 or 25 with regurgitation

Q

What are the goals for management of anesthesia in a pt with mitral regurgitation?

A
  • Goals: fast, full, forward
  • Avoid events that may further decrease cardiac output
  • Avoid sudden decreases in HR
  • avoid sudden increases in SVR
  • monitor the size of the V wave as a reflection of regurgitant flow
  • minimize drug-induced myocardial depression
  • Ex. Etomidate or high dose opioid for induction

Q

What influences the how you will manage the maintenance phas of anesthesia for a pt with mitral regurg?

Monitoring?

A
  • Maintenance anesthesia is influenced by the degree of LV dysfunction
  • If not severe:
    • N2O and volatile agent (Iso, des, or sevo b/c of minimal negative inotropic effects)
  • If severe:
    • Use of high opioid technique minimizes drug induced myocardial depression- be aware that it might cause bradycardia
  • Use of invasive monitoring depends on the complexity of procedure and magnitude of regurg

Q

What are the causes of aortic regurgitation?

A
  • Diseased leaflets:
    • endocarditis*, rheumatic fever, BAV
  • Problems with aortic root:
    • idiopathic aortic root dilation, aortic dissection*, marfan syndrome, ankylosing spondylitis
  • *acute

Q

What are goals for anesthesia in a pt with Aortic regurgitation.

A
  • Avoid sudden decreases in HR
  • Avoid sudden increases in SVR
  • minimize drug induced myocardial depression
  • Induction- use drugs likely to maintain forward left ventricular SV
  • Maintenance:
    • No LV dysfunction- N2O plus VA (Iso)
    • LV compromise- consider opioid alone

Q

How should you manage the fluid for a pt with mitral regurgitation?

monitoring?

A
  • Prompt replacement of blood loss is important to maintain forward LV SV
  • Bradycardia may require prompt treatment with atropine
  • monitoring:
    • based on complexity of surgery and severity of regurgitation
