sugery- de virgilio Flashcards
elective surgery after MI?
postpone for 4 weeks
-perform stress test at that time
major predictors of adverse cardiac event after elective surgery (4)
within one month:
- MI
- unstable angina
- decomp CHF
- sig arrythmia –> work it up!
order of cardiovascular risk (most to least)
CAD, CHF, TIA/stroke, DM, creatine >2
dresslers syndrome
acute pericarditis following MI
global ST elevation and PR depression
timing of post MI complications
48 hr- arrythmia
5 days - vent septal rupture
weeks- months - dresslers
whatsmore accurate, MUGA or echo?
MUGA! nuc stress test, but more cost prohib
Stanford A
ascending aorta –> involves inominate! can lead to tamp, MI, AI, stroke
urgent OR
Stanford B
invovles descneding aorta
- can involve celiac, renal, common iliacs
- can usually be managed medically unless signs of malperfusion (inc Cr, abd tenderness, dec pulses)
post op R side MI management?
Fluids! help with preload.
avoid nitrates!!
hammon’s crunch post CABG? with inc WBC
acute mediastinitis
equalization of central pressures is associated with what cardiac phenom?
tamponade (blood compresses heart and decreases diastolic filling volume)
t/f: Type A aortic dissection can present as acute MI
true.
thrombolysis is a big nono. Check for wide mediastinum on CXR
beta blockade or alpha blockade before pheo surgery?
ALPHA for10-14 days
beta can cause unopposed alpha blockade and precip HTN crisis
percutaneous bx for adrenal mass?
NO. no histo markers specific and risk seeding
what is the indication/ rec for adrenal tumor resection?
> 6cm
OPEN to get margins if malig is expected
