Vascular and Pericardial Dx Flashcards
PMI
Perioperative Myocardial Infarction
When does myocardial ischemia occur?
O2 demand > O2 Supply
Which leads do we watch for ischemia?
V2 and V5
ST changes in STEMI
ST elevation possible T wave inversion
ST chnages in NSTEMI
ST depression or T wave inversion
Cardiac Risk for Non-Cardiac Surgeries: High Risk
TAMP
- Thoracotomy
- AAA
- Major Abdominal Procedure
- Peripheral Vascular Procedure
Cardiac Risk for Non-Cardiac Surgeries: Ischemia Heart DX
CHHUP
- Current Angina
- Hx of MI
- Hx of positive exercise test
- Use of Nitrates
- Presence of Q waves
Q wave: a small negative wave immediately before the large QRS complex
Cardiac Risk for Non-Cardiac Surgeries: CHF
HHH-PC
- Hx of CHF
- Hx of Pulmonary Edema
- Hx of paroxysmal noctural dyspnea
- Physcial with rales or S3 gallop
- Chest Xray shopwing pulmonaly vascular redistribution
Cardiac Risk for Non-Cardiac Surgeries: Cerebrovascular Dx
2
- Hx of CVA
- Hx of TIA
Cardiac Risk for Non-Cardiac Surgeries: Renal Function
Pre-op creatine > 2mg/dL
Cardiac Risk for Non-Cardiac Surgeries: DM
Insulin dependance
Why do patinets with DM have silent MI’s?
Nerve damage prevents them from feeling pain from MI
PMI management
- Prevent myocardial ischemia
- Avoid hyperventilation
- HR and BP within 20% of baseline
- Avoid sympathetic responses
PMI Intra-Op Events: Decreased O2 supply
OH-DATCHA
- Oxyhemoglobin shift: Left
- Hypotension
- Decreased coronary blood flow
- Arterial Hypoxemia
- Tachycardia
- Coronary Artery Spasm
- Hypocapnia
- Anemia
PMI Intra-Op Events: Increased O2 demands
SIIITH
- Sympathetic stimulation
- Increased Inotropy
- Increased Preload
- Increased Afterload
- Tachycardia
- Hypertension
PMI IntraOp treatment
1mm change in ST segment
- Nitro to reduce afterload
- Esmolol to reduce HR
- Inotropes to increase BP
PMI: Avoid in PostOp
SPS-HHH
- Shivering
- Pain
- Sepsis
- Hypoxemia
- Hypercarbia
- Hemorrhage
AAA’s are associated with what?
- Marfans
- Ehler-Danlos
- Bicuspid Aoritc Valve
- Family Hx
AAA’s not operated on until what size?
Larger than 5cm
Aortic Dissections are associated with what?
PTW-HABIT
- Pregnancy
- Tetrology of Fallot (TOF)
- Weight Lifting
- HTN
- Atherosclerosis
- Bicuspid Aortic Valve
- IABP/CABG/Aortic Surgery
- Trauma (from ligamentum arteriosum)
AAA Rupture Triad
- Severe Back Pain
- Pulsatile Abdominal Mass
- Hypotension
How are AAA patients stable until surgery?
The abdominal blood tamponades the rupture, once incision is made massive blood loss will happen
Aortic dissection classifications
2 kinds
- DeBakey
- Standford
DeBakey Type I
involves ascending and descending aorta (= Stanford A)
DeBakey Type II
involves ascending aorta only (= Stanford A)
Debakey Type III
involves descending aorta only, commencing after the origin of the left subclavian artery (= Stanford B)
Stanford Type A
type A involves any part of the aorta proximal to the origin of the left subclavian artery (A affects ascending aorta)
Stanford Type B
type B arises distal to the left subclavian artery origin
Medical Management of Ascending Aorta
Surgical Intervention
Medical Management of Aortic Arch
Surgical intervention
Medical Management of Aortic Arch involving the Innominate
AKA Brachiocephalic artery
- Bypass required
- Profound hypertension
- ± Circulatory Arrest
Medical Management of Descending Aorta
Surgical intervention only if about to rupture or growing too fast. Otherwise just medicically managed
What can aortic cross clamping do to the spine?
Anterior Spinal Artery Syndrome
How does Anterior Spinal Artery Syndrome manifest?
- Flaccid Paralysis
- Motor Dysfunction
* Lower Extremities
* Bowel
* Bladder - Acute back pain at the level of clamping/injury
- Autonomic dysfunction
How do we reduce the risk of Anterior Spinal Artery Syndrome?
- Cross clamp less than 30 mins
- Possible bypass if longer than 30 mins to increase blood flow
What happens to SVR distal and proximal to the clamp on the aorta?
Distal: SVR decrease
Proximal: SVR increase
Change in HR after aortic clamp?
None
