TL2 Flashcards
Protamine reactions
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
hypokalemic periodic paralysis triggers
stress, cold environment or hypothermia, carbohydrate load, infection, glucose infusion, metabolic alkalosis, alcohol, strenuous exercise, and steroids
hyperkalemic periodic paralysis triggers
hyperkalemia, potassium-rich meals or exogenous potassium administration, rest after exercise, stress, metabolic acidosis, and succinylcholine use. Factors that can worsen a HKPP episode include acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, extremes of temperature, and hypoglycemia.

Vec metabolite
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
types of von willebrands
Type 1 VWD: partial decrease in VWF concentrations
Type 2 VWD: qualitative defect in VWF
Type 3 VWD: total depletion of VWF
von Willebrand intraop bleeding
- von Willebrand factor concentrates or desmopressin.
- cryoprecipitate may also be used to replete von Willebrand factor
- Adjuvant therapies include antifibrinolytics (TXA and aminocaproic acid) and topical clotting products.
SVT in WPW treatmen
- procainamide
Carotid body chemoreceptors
When PaO2 is around 55
- afferent impulses via the glossopharyngeal nerve to CNS ventilatory centers
- impaired by opioids, benzos and volatiles (b/l CEA also)
Adult blood:gas coefficients
higher than peds
- leads to a slower rise in the FA:FI ration
Faster inhalational induction in peds
- Increased minute ventilation relative to FRC (most important)
- Increased blood flow to vessel-rich organs
- Decreased blood:gas partition coefficients
- Decreased tissue:blood partition coefficients
Cushings triad
-HTN, bradycardia and irregular respiratory pattern 2/2 to elevated ICP
CPDA for blood storage
- Citrate is the anticoagulant (binds calcium necessary for clot formation
- Phosphate is incorporated for cellular function and ATP production
- Dextrose is the nutrition source for glycolysis
- Adenine is incorporated for ATP production

American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) score
A Complete cord injury with complete motor and sensory deficits in S4 and S5 nerve roots
B Incomplete cord injury with sensation preserved below the level of injury; intact S4 and S5 nerve roots
C Incomplete cord injury with motor function preserved below the level of injury; < 3 out of 5 motor strength in half of the major muscle groups
D Incomplete cord injury with motor function preserved below the level of injury; ≥3 out of 5 motor strength in half of the major muscle groups
E No evidence of cord injury with intact motor and sensory innervation
SIADH lab values
Hyponatremia with urine sodium greater than 20 mmol/L
LES and RSI
- Sux increases LES
- cricoid pressure decreases LES tone

patient population to be concerned with vasopressin administration
Caution must be used when administering vasopressin to patients with coronary artery disease as it may precipitate myocardial ischemia by vasoconstriction of the coronary arteries.
Exacerbation of MS
in the perioperative period caused by surgery and the use of general or spinal anesthesia. Succinylcholine should be used cautiously or avoided
Neonatal life support
Infants with a heart rate < 60/min despite adequate ventilation should be treated with chest compressions and endotracheal intubation. Epinephrine and volume expansion can also be considered if the infant is not showing improvement. Naloxone and sodium bicarbonate are not recommended.
pyloric stenosis
Correction of hypovolemia and electrolyte abnormalities is best achieved with an infusion of 10 to 20 mL/kg/hr of normal saline with 20 mEq/L of potassium.
Posterior fossa brain ischemia monitoring
Auditory evoked potentials
gabapentin side effect
nausea, sedation, dizziness, ataxia, nystagmus, peripheral edema, and weight gain.
gabapentin MOA
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.
albumin in pregnancy
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.
Hemophilia A
- deficient factor VIII
- treat with desmopressin, cryo
- if antibodies to factor VIII: porcine factor VIII, recombinant factor VIIa, or recombinant factor IIa
risk for accreta with prior c sections
0 = 3% incidence, 1 = 11%, 2 = 40%, 3 = 61%, 4+ = 67%
pulses paradoxus
- seen in cardiac tamponade
- A decrease >10 mm Hg of systemic blood pressure during inspiration
persistent fetal circulation
Hypoxemia, hypothermia, and acidosis are all associated with persistent fetal circulation. This is due to increased pulmonary pressures, which favor flow through shunts that are only functionally closed and not yet anatomically closed
premature ductal closure
maternal NSAID use
long term TPN
Hyperalimentation is commonly associated with hypophosphatemia, hypo or hyperglycemia, and acute liver injury. Patients on total parenteral nutrition (TPN) require vitamin K supplementation and often have an elevated prothrombin time.
