Q

Protamine reactions

A

type 1: Systemic hypotension from mast cell degranulation and histamine release caused by rapid administration
Type 2: Anaphylaxis from IgE-mediated dose-independent reaction. Previous exposure to protamine or a similar protein (such as neutral protamine Hagedorn found in NPH insulin
Type 3: Pulmonary hypertensive crisis causing pulmonary hypertension, vasoconstriction, and possible right heart failure. The mechanism for this reaction is thromboxane A2 released from platelets and macrophages stimulated by protamine-heparin complexes

Vec metabolite

A

Vecuronium has three active metabolites, 3-desacetyl-, 17-desacetyl-, and 3,17-desacetyl vecuronium. Among these, the 3-desacetyl metabolite is the most important since it has nearly 80% of the activity of vecuronium

Q

gabapentin MOA

A

Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant originally approved for the treatment of partial seizure epilepsy and later for treatment of neuropathic pain. It binds and inhibits the alpha2-delta subunit of the voltage-gated calcium channel. This results in a decreased release of the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate.

A

Serum albumin concentration decreases during pregnancy because of plasma expansion. Many other serum constituents such as fibrinogen, transferrin, and globulins increase, most likely due to the hormonal changes secondary to the pregnant state.

Q

Autonomic hyperreflexia

A

Anesthetic management of patients at high risk for AH includes neuraxial anesthesia with local anesthetic and/or deep general anesthesia. Opioid-only anesthetics administered intravenously or neuraxially do not reliably prevent AH. Symptoms of AH are related to the profound vasoconstriction that occurs below the level of the lesion (e.g. headaches, hypertensive crisis, MI) and the vasodilation that occurs above the level of the SCI (e.g. diaphoresis of upper body, nasal congestion). Treatment includes fast-acting vasodilating agents such as nitroprusside, nitroglycerin, and nicardipine.

Adult female	60-65 mL/kg
76
Q

increases cerebral perfusion and oxygenation

A

Of the vasoactive medications that cause vasoconstriction, vasopressin may preserve cerebral blood flow and oxygenation while also increasing cerebral perfusion pressure. This effect is likely mediated by local nitric oxide release stimulated by the direct action of vasopressin on the cerebral vasculature

77
Q

temp vs pH and CO2

A

pH is increased by 0.015 for each degree below 37 °C. PaCO2 is decreased by 2 mm Hg for each degree below 37 °C.

78
Q

Spinal cord stimulators

A

Spinal cord stimulators activate the larger Aα and Aβ fibers to a greater degree compared with the smaller nociceptive Aδ and C fibers. This closes the gate in and impedes conduction of pain sensation past the substantia gelatinosa of the dorsal horn of the spinal cord.

79
Q

84
Q

ALS anesthesia options

A

Denervating neuromuscular disease can result in extrajunctional receptor formation, which leaves patients susceptible to exacerbated hyperkalemic response to depolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugs.

Spinal anesthesia is typically avoided in patients with ALS
