UBP book 3 Flashcards
Aortic stenosis transvalvular gradients
<25: mild
25-40: moderate
40-50: severe
> 50: critical
Aortic stenosis, valve areas
Normal 2.5 to 4
Mild 1.5 to 2
Moderate 1 to 1.5
Severe .7 to 1
Critical less than 0.7
Aortic stenosis, velocity of aortic jets in meters per second
Mild less than three
Moderate 3 to 4
Severe 4 to 4.5
Critical greater than 4.5
When do you need prophylaxis for bacterial endocarditis?
- prosthetic, cardiac valve or prosthetic material used for valve repair
-Previous occurrence of infectious endocarditis
-Unrepaired cyanotic congenital heart disease
-Six month postoperatively following repaired congenital heart defect using prosthetic material
-Repaired congenital heart disease with residual defect
-Cardiac transplant, who develops valvulopathy
Went to discontinue enoxaparin to neuraxial
24 hours
Spinal and epidural, anesthesia,
In multiple sclerosis
Can be associated with an exacerbation of MS
-More significant and spinal and epidural, using high concentrations of local anesthetic, less likely with dilute solutions for labor pain control
When do you need to start taking a platelet level with heparin?
After four days for risk of heparin induced thrombocytopenia
How long to hold subq heparin before spinal
4-6 hours or normal PTT
How long to hold subcutaneous heparin with three times a day dosing at higher doses before spinal
12 Hours and normal PTT
Can you use protamine to reverse, low molecular weight heparin?
No
Asthmatic patients way to decrease ventricular rate
Diltiazem
symptoms of PDPH
-frontal-occipital HA
-Dec pain w/ laying flat
-N/V
-neck stiffness
-photophobia
-diplopia (stretching on abducens n)
-tinnitus, hearing loss
(Sz rare from cerebral vasospasm)
Aspiration ppx in pregnancy
Metochlopramide
Famotidine
Sodium citrate
Why do we give stress dose steroids?
Suppression of hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal axis with exogenous steroids -> cannot produce adequate cortisol under stress conditions
Symptoms of Addisonian crisis
(Life-threatening low cortisol)
-fever
-abd pain
-dehydration
-N/V
-hypoglycemia (cortisol promotes gluconeogenesis)
-acidosis
-hyperK, hypoNa (Dec Aldo)
-circulatory collapse
-depressed mentation
stress dose steroids
100mg IV hydrocoritsone preop
100mg q8h on day of surgery
epidural ok for c/s in pt w/ MS?
-acknowledge risk of exacerbating MS symptoms -> however lower with short duration of action local anesthetics
-benefits of avoiding manipulating difficult airway, red risk of aspiration, superior post op analgesia
succinylcholine and MS
AVOID -> likely to have chronic skeletal muscle weakness -> run the risk of hyperK
emergent c/s needs GA, severe AS induction?
-difficult airway equipment available
-premeds: asp ppx, albuterol, fluids for AS, consider esmolol to avoid tachycardia w/ laryngoscopy
-cadioversion pads (need atrial kick and sinus) and phenylephrine
-L uterine displacement
-etomidate and narcotics -> rapidly secure airway and tell neonatal team about narcotics
-a line as soon as possible if not present yet
**assess if can get succ w/ comorbidities
ST changes in aortic stenosis after induction, what to do?
-give vasoconstrictor if concern is dec in preload or afterload causing ischemia -> need to inc coronary perfusion
-if concern is LV function and need dec in afterload -> give nicardipine (causes arterial dilation with minimal venodilation -> won’t impact preload)
large PPH, what to do?
-verify pt receiving pitocin
-FiO2 100%, ensure hemodyanimc stability -> likely req phenyleprhine
-notify blood bank and call for pRBCs
-inc oxytocin
-methergine (semisynthetic ergot alkaloid), hemabate PG F2alpha analogue), or misoprostol (PG E1 analogue)
-OB: uterine massage -> IU balloon -> compression sutures -> ligate arteries -> hysterectomy
CI for methergine
HTN
coronary artery issues (causes coronary artery vasoconstriction)
pregnant pt w/ chorio and MS and ASA, 5 hours after pulling epidural, b/l leg weakness and back pain, ddx?
-bactermia from chorio
-epidural/spinal hematoma
-residual epidural blockade
-tissue damage w/ needle instrumentation
-relapsing MS
signs/symp w/ epidural/spinal hematoma
back pain or pressure: severe and unrelenting
-bowel/bladder dysfunction (urinary retention)
-radicular pain (shoots down into legs)
-sensory deficits
