Q

Does adding Epi to buvipicaine prolong it’s effect? explain?

A

No. It improves quality of the analgesia. Epi decreases overall blood loss at site of admin, reducing systemic absorption by decreasing blood flow. This effect is more pronounced with short or intermediate acting local anesthetics.which tend to be more hydrophilic and less preferentially bound to tissue proteins.

By contrast, longer-acting local anesthetics such as bupivacaine exhibit durations of effect that are less responsive to vasoconstrictive additives such as epinephrine.

Q

Electrolyte abnormality associated with hyperventilation (respiratory alkalosis)?

A

Hypocalcemia.

In response to alkalosis, hydrogen ions bound to negatively charged plasma proteins, such as albumin, are released. Calcium, being positively charged, can then bind to albumin and other proteins, thereby decreasing the serum calcium concentration (particularly the free/ionized, active fraction). This is the mechanism behind paresthesias that occur with hyperventilation.

Hypokalemia.

Hydrogen-potassium transporters pump hydrogen ions out of cells in the setting of alkalosis to restore physiologic pH. Simultaneously, potassium is pumped intracellularly to ensure electroneutrality.

Alkalosis can cause hypophosphatemia.

A rising cellular pH stimulates the glycolytic pathway, enhancing sugar-phosphate production. This triggers increased cellular uptake of phosphorus, thus decreasing serum phosphorus concentration.

Q

Management of Von Willebrand disease in pregnant women undergoing c-section. Which clotting factor is deficient?
Indication for treatment?

A

von Willebrand factor serves as a carrier protein for factor VIII

von Willebrand disease (vWD) who have a factor VIII level >50% do not require treatment during labor or cesarean delivery. During pregnancy, there is an increase in the levels of factor VIII and von Willebrand factor (vWF) that normally corrects the deficiency seen in type 1.

Desmopressin when factor VIII levels are < 50%
If pt doesnt respond, Humate-P or Alphanate can be used, which is a concentrate of factor VIII and vWF.

If actor VIII is < 50%, desmopressin should be administered for type 1, and factor VIII and vWF concentrates should be administered for types 2 and 3.

39
Q

Which drug used to treat hypotension in critical aortic stenosis?

A

Phenylephrine

In severe aortic stenosis, cardiac output is relatively fixed. The heart cant compensate for any vasodialation (decreased SVR). Coronary perfusion suffers bc decreased diastolic pressure.

Goal is to maintain normal to slower HR

Hypertrophic heart is at risk for ischemic changes even if no CAD (increased oxygen demand due to hypertrophied left ventricle). Atrial kick also contributes a lot to maintain the end diastolic volume.

44
Q

Placenta delivery time in absence of hemorrhage

(In presence of hemorrhage?)

A

60 minutes

Postpartum hemorrhage usually results from: uterine atony, retained placenta, genital tract trauma, or coagulation disorders. Retained placenta is the second most common cause of PPH

placenta that has not been expelled within 30 minutes after delivery of a baby. The guidelines recommend, in the absence of hemorrhage, waiting an additional 30 minutes after diagnosis to allow for spontaneous expulsion. If this does not occur, controlled cord traction may be the first step in helping to expel the placenta. The addition of oxytocin may be beneficial, especially if the uterus is atonic, because uterine atony may result in failed separation/expulsion. Ergot alkaloids (e.g., methylergonovine) are not recommended, as they may cause tetanic uterine contractions, which can delay placental expulsion and make manual extraction more difficult. Additionally, prostaglandin E2 is not recommended, because it is associated with an increase in cardiac events.

45
Q

which pediatric neurologic disorders would volatile anesthetics produce an increased pharmacodynamic effect?

A

Cerebral Palsy (CP) – more sensitive to the effects of volatile anesthetics, and a lower minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) may be required to achieve surgical anesthesia

46
Q
A
47
Q

Mechanism behind tachycardia and palpitations in untreated Graves’ disease

A

Hyperthyroidism is associated with upregulated expression of beta1-adrenergic receptors on cardiomyocytes, which increases cardiac sympathetic sensitivity with an increase in heart rate.

upregulation of sodium-potassium pump expression associated with hyperthyroidism drives a significant increase in the basal metabolic rate, producing classic clinical symptoms such as unintended weight loss and heat intolerance.

48
Q

Test commonly used for high dose heparin administration and evaluates the intrinsic and final common pathways of the coagulation system?

A

activated clotting time (ACT) is commonly used to evaluate the anticoagulant effect of high dose heparin administration

Whole blood is added to a tube that contains an activator substance (celite or kaoline) and time to clot formation is measured.

normal ACT is around 107 seconds.

A value between 400-480 seconds is typically required to initiate cardiopulmonary bypass.

Hypothermia, hemodilution, thrombocytopenia (< 30-50,000/uL), and platelet inhibitors also prolong the ACT.

49
Q

Decreased maximum amplitude (MA) primarily provides evidence of

A

thrombocytopenia and/or platelet dysfunction

50
Q

61
Q

Pt with COPD may develop acutely worsened hypercapnia with the administration of supplemental oxygen because of

A

increase in ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) mismatch

(not because of central respiratory drive)

Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) redistributes pulmonary blood flow to areas of the lung with higher alveolar oxygenation content. O2 inhibits HPV, allowing blood (perfusion) to those alveoli with retained CO2… this high concentration of CO2 in alveoli prevents CO2 in blood to be exchanged.

Q

Indications for Retrograde cardioplegia over Anterograde cardioplegia

A 
diffuse obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD)
 aortic insufficiency (AI),
surgeries involving significant manipulation of the aortic root or coronary ostia.
81
Q

How is antegrade cardioplagia administered?

A

via a small-bore catheter or needle in an antegrade fashion at the aortic root or directly into the coronary arteries.

82
Q

Why is duplicated or persistant left-sided SVC contraindicated for retrograde cardioplagia?

A

duplicated SVC, which is thought to arise from a failure of the left anterior cardinal vein to involute during embryologic development, typically serves the same function as the left brachiocephalic vein but empties into an enlarged coronary sinus rather than the right atrium.

Retrograde infusion into the coronary sinus in a patient with a duplicated SVC would potentially result in systemic (rather than solely myocardial) distribution of cardioplegia solution.

83
Q

Treatment for vasospastic angina (transient episodes, nausea, occur at rest)

A

Calcium Channel Blockers (nicardipine)

(nitrates are second line - produce tolerance with repated use)

84
Q

How to prevent febrile blood transfusion reaction

A

Leukoreduction involves the reduction of white blood cells (WBC) from the red blood cells (RBC) to be transfused.

Leukoreduction reduces risk of HLA alloimmunization, febrile reaction, and CMV transmission.

IL-1 released during storage stimulates prostaglandin E2 causing fever.

85
Q

Blood Irradiation with 2.500 cGY pevent what reaction?
