Test 1 Hypothermia Flashcards
Cause for increased myocardial oxygen demands
Switch from anaerobic to aerobic metabolism
Because immature myocardium can rely more on anaerobic metabolism can withstand ischemic injury better
Calcium handling in Peds
Immature myocardium increased Intracellular concentration post ischemia/reperfusion
This activates and lowers stores of ATP, contributing to dysfunction
Flow rate required due to high oxygen consumption rates in infants
Up to 200ml/kg/min
Glucose in adults vs Peds
Adults: hyperglycemia
Peds: hypoglycemia
4 events that trigger stress
Ischemia
Hypothermia
Anesthesia
Surgery
CPB causes release of
Cathecholamines Cortisol ACTH TSH Endorphins
Normal urine output for adults
.5-1 ml/min
Normal urine output for Peds
1ml/kg/hr
Core temperature monitoring in Peds
Bladder Nasopharyngeal Tympanic Esophageal Venous
Shell (peripheral) temperature monitoring in Peds
Rectal
Skin
“Safe” period durations of DHCA
> 32C: <18C: 45-60min
Cannulation Used for DHCA if heart is NOT opened until circulatory arrest
Single aortic cannula
Cannulation used if heart is opened BEFORE circulatory arrest
Bicaval cannulation
Pressure maintained in SVC during retrograde cerebral perfusion
15-20mmHg
Antegrade cerebral perfusion
Use open end of Blalock Taussig shunt after proximal anastamosis is constructed
