Qb stands for what?
Coronary Blood Flow
Coronary Blood Flow is determined by what?
is determined by hemodynamic factors such as perfusion pressure (P) and coronary vascular resistance (R)
The delivery of oxygen (DO2) to the myocardium (oxygen supply) is determined by two factors:
- coronary blood flow (CBF)
* oxygen content of blood(CaO2).
O2 delivery equation
O2 Delivery = CBF × CaO2
where CBF = ml/min and CaO2= ml O2/ml blood
The two terms are often used interchangeably although they are not equivalent
Oxygen Consumption and Oxygen Demand
Demand =Need
Consumption= Actual amount of oxygen consumed per minute.
Oxygen consumption will: (2)
•regenerate ATP used by membrane
transport (Na+/K+-ATPase pump) and by
•Myocyte contraction and relaxation (myosin ATPase)
- MVO2 (ml O2/min per 100gram)
Cardiac State:Arrested heart
2
- MVO2 (ml O2/min per 100gram)
Cardiac State: Resting Beating Heart
8
- MVO2 (ml O2/min per 100gram)
Cardiac State:Heavy Exercise
70
Fick Principle
MVO2= CBF×(CaO2− CvO2)
CBF= coronary blood flow (ml/min), and (CaO2–CvO2) is the arterial-venous oxygen content difference (ml O2/ml blood)
The unique relationship between MVO2, coronary blood flow (CBF), and the extraction of oxygen from the blood (A-V O2 difference) is
The Fick Principle
2 points during cardiopulmonary bypass the heart is prone to fibrillate?
- Cooling
* Post cross clamp (post ischemic episodes)
What are the dangers during the cooling or post cross clamp periods during CPB?
- Distension/Overfilling
- Muscular/cellular damage
- Starlings Curve
When is cardiac oxygen consumption (MVO2) at its Lowest level
•When heart is arrested
When is cardiac oxygen consumption (MVO2) at its Highest level
•Shortly after weaning from bypass–Heart is repaying oxygen debt
(catch up period-the heart needs time)
An imbalance of oxygen delivery and demand leads to what?
ANAEROBIC metabolism and the production of lactic acid
Decreased intracellular pH decreases the stability of what membranes?
cellular and mitochondrial membranes
Decreased intracellular pH also impairs what influx and overload?
Na-> K ATPase leading to calcium influx and calcium overload
ATP generated from AEROBIC metabolism is used preferentially for
myocardial contraction
anaerobically produced ATP is used for
cell survival and repair

True Coronary Perfusion Pressure
CoPP=
DBP–LVEDP
Coronary blood flow is dependent on what gradient?
the transmural gradient
increased myocardial oxygen demand is met primarily by ?
an increase in coronary blood flow
A diastolic aortic pressure of 80 and a
LVEDP pressure of 14 would get what value?
CPP of 66 (normal 60-80mmHg)
During cardiac arrest, CPP is one of the most important variables in achieving what?
the return of spontaneous circulation
which is why CPR compressions are important > respiration
A pressure gradient of what may be necessary for survival ? (mmHg)
15 mmHg at a minimum
Pre-Ischemic Intervention
Minimize on-going ischemia (i.e. NTG)
•Prevent ventricular distension
•Wall tension increases MVO2 and increases LVEDP
•Vent !
Myocardial preconditioning can be achieved by (2)
- Ischemia
- Drugs
- Bradykinin, nitric oxide, phenylephrine (neosynephrine), endotoxin, adenosine, Sevoflurane, desflurane, isoflurane
Myocardial preconditioning can be achieved by what drugs?
Bradykinin nitric oxide phenylephrine (neosynephrine) endotoxin adenosine Sevoflurane desflurane isoflurane
What may be the “best” preconditioning tool and override ischemia and drugs?
Cardiopulmonary bypass
Why give cardiplegia?
- Cardiac quiescence
- Bloodless field
- Preservation of myocardial function
- Induces myocardial hypothermia
Four Main Objectives of Hypothermic Cardioplegia (4)
KNOW!
- Immediate/sustained electromechanical arrest
- Rapid/sustained homogenous myocardial cooling
- Maintenance of therapeutic additives in effective concentrations
- Periodic washout of metabolic inhibitors
advocated the use of high potassium solutions to induce cardiac quiescence. Caused permanent myocardial injury
