Dyspnea wheezing coughing periodic attacks think
Asthma
Asthma is seen more in males in
2:1 ratio
Bronchospasm is usually
Cholinergic mediated
Airway hyperactivity, chronic inflammation, expiratory airflow obstruction
Asthma
Inhaled allergens are common triggers of
Asthma
Activate mast cells with bound IgE, directly leading to the immediate release of a bronchoconstrictor
Hypoxemia is a universal finding in
Asthmatic attacks
Don’t see C02 retention as much. More hyperventilation
Preop eval asthma
Frequency, hospital visits, use of systemic steroid, prior mechanical ventilation for severe attack
Airway resistance is high in
Obstructive disease

2 to 3 weeks after clinical recovery in children from URI to do
Anesthesia
30mg of hydrocortisone is released
Each day from body
Histamine mediates bronchoconstriction through
H1
Asthmatic induction want to
Block airway reflexes before laryngoscopy and intubation
Relax airway smooth muscle
Prevent release biochemical mediators
Propofol best for
Asthmatic induction
Light anesthesia in an asthmatic will lead to
Bronchospasm
D tubocuranine
Can cause bronchospasm through histamine release
Manage severe wheezing attack
Deepen level of anesthesia and increase Fi02
Then relieve mechanical stimulation
Suction endotracheal tube
Can give albuterol
Most common cause of asthmatic attack during surgery is

Non small cell you can treat
Surgically but small cell is medical
TNM
T is for tumor size
N if lymph node involvement
M distal metastasis beyond ipsilateral hemothorax
Pancoast syndrome
Pain and upper extremity weakness due to invasion of the brachial plexus
COPD
Chronic bronchitis and emphysema
Aerobic capacity gold standard is
VO2 Max
Cervical mediastinoscopy
To establish diagnosis don’t use on patients with cancer spread lymph nodes
Can cause pneumo or perforation of bleeding structures so might need to pack SVC so need access in lower extremities
Right VATS
Put a line on left radial
Most double lumen tubes are made with
Polyvinyl chloride
DLT five sizes
28, 35, 37, 39 and 41 French
When bronchial cuff is deflated on double lumen tube you should hear an
Air leak
Absolute for double lumen tube
VATS for surgical exposure
Bronchopleural fistula
Isolation of contamination- bronchiectasis lung abscess or massive hemorrhage
No DLT if
Difficult anatomy
Lesions that could be traumatized when moving tube in
Small patient where 35 is too big and 28 is too small
Left mainstem bronchus is much longer than the
Right
Advantage of bronchial blocker
If too small to fit DLT
Difficult airway
If DLT contraindicated
Disadvantage of bronchial blocker
Can’t suction well
Possible stapling of stump if not retracted appropriately
Need to use fiberoptic to position
Depxyhemoglobin 660
Oxyhemoglobin 940mm
Right lung gets
55% of blood flow
Left lung gets 45%
Inhalation agents inhibit
HPV
Once atelectactic all the blood flowing into the
Nonventilated lung is shunt flow
Improve oxygenation in single lung ventilation
Use 100% oxygen Check position of tube with fiberoptic Ventilate manually you see tidal volume that is good Add peep if larger tidal volumes helped Use two lung ventilation intermittently
Can decrease the shunt
Use drugs to augment HPV(phenylephrine, norepinephrine)
Clamp liver vessels or the pulmonary artery of the nonventilated lung temporarily
DLT tubes have large outer diameter which can cause airway edema and
Trauma if left in too long
Can convert to single lumen tube if need post op ventilation
Intrathecal opioids can act for
18 to 24 hours
Intrathecal morphine can cause
Late respiratory depression
Lipophilic narcotics

First fix cardiac output, next hgb, finally improve lung mechanics
Intrapulmonary shunting due to aspiration treat with
Avoid excessive tidal volumes
Increase PEEP
Make sure patient isn’t fighting the ventilator
5 to 10cm peep usually good and I’d not associated
With hemodynamic disturbances
PEEP improves arterial oxygenation with increase in
FRC
PEEP decreases venous return through increase in intrathoracic pressure
Leads to decrease in cardiac output
PSV is based on
Pressure and time
Flow cycled
PSV
Achieve larger tidal volume with lower airway pressures
Decreased work of breathing
Promote weaning from ventilator bc of decreased respiratory muscle weakness

Active bleeding
HFJV
Small tidal volume at high flow rate
Don’t use HFV if can’t do passive expiration can lead to bad
Barotrauma
Also need adequate humidification
HFV need adequate training
Nitric oxide works in endothelium and goes to
Vascular smooth muscle where it activates cGMP
Inhaled NO may decrease pulmonary hypertension in ARDS due to
Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction

Longer period of time
Rapid induction agent better to shorten excitement stage
Gradual induction bc don’t want abrupt withdrawal of sympathetic tone
Inhibition of HPV by
Volatile anesthetics
Isolated ventilation of dependent lung can lead to
Increase in peak inspiratory pressure and gradual progressive rise in pulmonary artery pressure

Hypothermia prolongs
Onset of paralysis
Best way to monitor relaxation
Peripheral nerve stimulator
Oxygenater has flow can be decreased if
Pa02 is high and Pac02 is low
If hematocrit is below 18% during hemodilution
Blood is added to CBP circuit
Decrease myocardial o2 demand with
Cardioplegia and hypothermia
LV fraction below 25% can add

ISBP placement
Before placement can look at aorta for severe atheromatous disease or dissection which are contraindications of placement
Inflation of IABP just after
Dicrotic notch
Contraindication to IABP
AI, severe aortic disease
VAD used in management of chronic hearty failure after
Exhausting medical therapy
Minimally invasive cardiac surgery
Any procedure not performed with a full sternotomy and CB support
Main reasons for pacemaker
Sick sinus and complete heart block
Pacemaker for
Class 3/4 heart failure with dilated cardiomyopathy eF less than 35%, qRS>120 and sinus rhythm
Sick sinus syndrome
Array of disorders resulting from irreversible sinus node dysfunction
First degree block PR interval >
0.2 seconds
Mobitz type 1 PR increases until it drops
Mobitz type 2 no increase but QRS just drops
Paced Sensed Mode of Response
First 3 for pacemakers
For example VOO
Paces in the ventricle but does not sense intrinsic activity nor does it inhibits pacing and paces regardless of the hearts electric activity
Asynchronous mode paces at
Preset no matter what
Single chamber demand pacing paces at a preset rate only when
Spontaneous HR below programmed preset rate
For example if VVI 70 device would only pace in ventricle only if native HR less than 70
Is in synchronous mode hyperventilation can cause HR intrinsically to go
Up with the pacemaker
Dual chamber pacemakers can be used for
Sick sinus and all degrees of heart block
Current ICDs measure
R-R interval
ICD indications
Survivors of V fib V tach not from reversible cause
Ischemic cardiomyopathy EF<30% without recent MI in last 3 mo
Ischemia cardiomyopathy EF <35% with HF symptoms
Long and short QT
Hocm
All CIEDs should be interrogated at
3 to 6 mo before surgery
Establish type
Dependency on pacing
CIED function and programming details
PPM or ICD interrogation u want to know
Battery life Programmed pacing mode Pacemaker dependency Intrinsic rhythm Behavior of magnet Pacemaker lead parameters
For ICd or pacemaker need to determine
WMI during procedure
Grounding pad on
Do we need asynchronous mode
Temporary pacing and defibrillation be available
Only disables tachycardia detection and therapy of the ICD
A magnet cannot concert pacemaker in ICD system to
Asynchronous mode pacing
Only disables tachycardia detection and therapy of the ICD
Advisable not to use which gas after pacemaker placement
Nitrous
Air can go in pocket of pacemaker
For a patient with an ICD and magnet disabled strips who gets V tach mid surgery
Ask surgeon to stop all sources of EMI
Remove magnet to restart antitavhyvardia therapies
Can take 10 seconds to recharge
If it doesn’t work use emergency external defibrillation
EWSL ok with ppl with
Pacemakers
Need to reprogram pacemaker to asynchronous for
ECT
MRI generally contraindicated for ppl with
CIED
Two kinds of true aneurysms are saccular and fusiform
Saccular only involve a portion of the vessel
Fusiform involves diffuse, circumferential dilation of a long vascular segment
Aortic dissection presents when blood enters
Arterial wall through intimate tear
Biggest risk factor for aortic dissection is
Hypertension
Aneurysms can form from
Congenital bicuspid aortic valve or Turner syndrome
Type 1 aortic dissection starts in
Ascending aorta and extends throughout the aorta down to the common iliaca arteries
Type 2 aortic dissection is limited to the
Ascending aorta only
Type 3 dissection begins
Distal to the left subclavian artery
Main cause of death with an aneurysm is
Rupture
Cell saver induced loss of
Platelets, plasma proteins, coagulation factors
Left arterial to femoral bypass if prolonged aortic cross
Clamping
DHCA can help
One lung ventilation and two forms of temp and left heart bypass for
Thoracic aneurysm repair
TAAA can lead to
End organ ischemia
Aortic cross clamp time affects it
Can affect spinal cord most feared
Kidneys can also be affected- if age>50, preexisting renal problrms, duration renal ischemia>40 min, hemodynamic instability
Most common postop complication of TAAA repair (thoracic aneurysm) is
Postop respiratory failure
Synaptic pathway disruption
Decreased amplitude
Increased latency
MEPs look at
Anterior horn motor neurons of coryicospinal tract, both areas supplied by anterior spinal arteries
Aortic clamping
Proximal hypertension due to sudden increase in afterload
Increase in CVP
Increased preload afterload
Increased SVR and eventually cardiac output goes down
Aortic unclamping
Hypotension due to blood volume redistribution and pooling
Hypoxia mediated vasodilation with increased venous capacitance
Release of vasoactive and myocardial depressants mainly lactic acid
Hypoxemia
Acute metabolic acidosis which can decrease myocardial contractility
Most common access site for endovascular TAAA repair is
Femoral artery
Endovascular TAAA complications
Hypotension- aortic rupture, allergic reaction to contrast dye
Spinal cord ischemia
Postimplantation syndrome- fever, elevated C protein, leukocytosis- treatment is with NSAIDs
Single most common cause of early morbidity in AAA resection is an
MI
Major pathological cause of aneurysm is
Atherosclerosis
Surgical interventions best for aneurysms larger than
5.5cm
Reduce myocardial oxygen demand by avoiding
Tachycardia and HTN
Prevent hypotension and anemia
Greatest demand on heart comes from increased
HR
Single anterior spinal artery
Supplies 75% of the spinal cord
Artery of Adamkowitz
Supplies thoracolumbar region
Arises from T9-T12
It is possible to have paralysis with normal SSEPs and paralysis
Blood flow through anterior spinal artery not detected
Temp
Anesthetic depth
Changes in blood flow can alter
SSEPs
MEPs do monitor
Areas of spinal cord supplied by anterior spinal artery
AAA
Epidural helps
Regional May decrease hypercoaguability and thrombotic events
Put a line prior to anesthesia for
Triple A
Major complications arterial line placement
Vascular insufficient and infection
Invasive measure of volume status is needed if
Open AAA repair
How long to wait before epidural after giving LMWH
12 hours
Therapeutic dose like enoxaparin 1mg/kg wait
24 hours before epidural
Oral warfarin should be stopped
4 to 5 days before surgery
Remove neuraxial catheters when INR under
1.5
Aortic cross clamp can lead to
Arterial HTN with increase afterload and decreased CO
If post cross clamp get ST changes and high PCWP can give
Nitroglycerin to lower LVEDP and help with myocardial ischemia

If not it’s urgent
Hyper dynamic hypertension
Postop surgical patient, acute systolic HTN, widened pulse pressure, increased CO, HR, SVR
Sign of long standing HTN
LVH which increases the risk of an MI
Diuretics lower BP by
Increasing urinary sodium excretion, and by reducing plasma volume, extracellular fluid volume, and cardiac output
Hydralazine nitroglycerin relax
Smooth muscle of resistance and capacitance vessels to different degrees
Should cancel surgery for high
BP
But if asymptomatic can usually proceed
Acute withdrawal of beta blockers could lead to
Ischemic myocardial events

Should check and if potassium below 3 try to replete before surgery
Can give potassium not exceeding 0.5 mEQ per kg of body weight per hour
Hypomagnesium can induce
Seizures, confusion, and coma
Bruit is a sign of
Vascular disease
U can give an
Antihypertensive before surgery
Usually beta blocker is best bc it will lower demand and risk of myocardial ischemia
Induction of Hypertensive pt
As ur preoxygenating give 7 to 8 ug per kg fentanyl then prop
Prob don’t give ketamine can cause HTN and tachycardia
During and immediately following intubation associated with tachycardia and HTN
Decrease in LVEf
Hypotension after induction usually due to
Hypovolemia, Vasodilation, and cardiac depression
Can give esmolol

Postop HTN causes
Pain Emergence excitement Hypoxemia Hypercarbia Full bladder Hypothermia Withdrawal
SOB inability to lay supine oliguria post cardiac bypass think
Tamponade
CO is the product of
Stroke volume x HR
Stroke volume
Difference between left ventricular end diastolic and systolic volume
Cardiac tamponade
Extrinsic compression of the heart from intrapericardial blood and clots, exudative effusions, nonexidative effusions, and air
Significant chest tube output (more then 200ml per hour) immediate postop is a sign of
Increased amount of blood around the heart
Delayed tamponade
5 to 7 days after pericardotomy
Normal spontaneous inspiration
Extrathoracic to intrathoracic pressure gradient is increased and the filling of the right heart is slightly higher than the left
Kussmaul sign
Inspiratory fall of arterial BP increases 10mm Hg
As low as 150 ml acutely can lead to
Tamponade
With tamponade cardiac silhouette will be
Widened with water bottle configuration of the heart
Unfractionated heparin anticoagulant activity through
AT3
LMWH
Inhibits factor 10a preferentially
LMWH better with less bleeding than
Unfractionated heparin
HIT

Heparin negatively charged
Protamine positively charged
PT
Extrinsic pathway
TEG measures
Physical properties of a clot
Desmopressin helps with hemostasis by increasing
VWF and factor 7 activity in plasma
Best dose is 0.3 ucg/kg
Might be good in patients with ESRD with less vWF
Pathological fibrinolysis is when
Fibrin in a thrombus is broken down before healing
E aminocaproic acid and txa are analogues of
Lysine
They inhibit plasminogen and plasmin, resulting in less fibrinogen or fibrinolysis
Standard IV for cardiac surgery dose of Aminocaproic acid
5 to 10g follower by infusion of 1g per hour
Can give fluid in tamponade even if
CVP is high but PAOP is low
Inotropy with vasodilation properties

Cardiovascular collapse is anticipated
Cardiac tamponade induction
Have surgical team at bedside with drapes up
Fentanyl
Neuromuscular blocker

Negative pressure to positive pressure after intubation causes
Reduced cardiac filling by increasing intrathoracic pressure and afterload
Lower tidal volume will help with filling
In tamponade chest opening
Normalizes the pressure relation and can see improvement immediately
Labetalol antagonizes both
Alpha and beta receptors
Most common reasons for heart transplant
Ischemic coronary artery disease and nonischemic cardiomyopathy
Peak V02 max < 10 ml/kg/min indication for
Transplantation
Can’t donate heart if
EF<40% or bad LVH with wall thickness>13mm
Diabetes insipidus is seen in brain dead donors with urine output of more then 300 ml/hr and have to give
Desmopressin
Most common cause of death within 30 days of transplant
Graft failure, multi organ failure, non CMV
31 to 365 days post transplant cause of death
Non CMV
Graft failure, acute rejection
Biatrial vs bicaval technique
Biatrial involves anastomosis if recipient and donor atrial cuffs
Bicaval maintains above left anastomoses and attempts to maintain cardiac anatomy with desperate bicaval anastomoses to the right atrium
LVAD insertion reasons
Cardiogenic shock
Progressive decline
Inotropy dependence
Excessive afterload can hinder
LVAD
For heart transplant should reach CP bypass
At time of donor heart arrival to minimize ischemic time
Avoid nitrous oxide in heart transplant
Due to its effects on PVR
Place patient in head down position for
Air evacuation from left side of heart
Can give what drug to increase HR and contractility in heart transplant
Isoproterenol
Early postop complications of heart transplant
Right heart failure/pulmonary HTN
Denervated heart
Bleeding
Early graft failure
Inhaled No
Selective pulmonary vasodilator in severe pulmonary HTN and RV failure
Following cardiac transplant
Cardiac plexus is interrupted and the heart is deenervated
Deenervated heart
Lacks ability to respond to acutely your hypovolemia or hypotension with reflex tachycardia but responds to stress with increase in stroke volume
This is why heart transplant patients are preload dependent
Within 30 days after heart transplant most common cause of death is
Graft failure
Neostigmine can cause
Dose dependent decrease in heart rate in heart transplanted patients
Cardiac dysrhythmias can occur in
Heart transplant patients
Gold standard to check for allograft rejection
Endomyocardial biopsy
Mainly treated with steroids
Chronic steroid treatment results in abnormal stress response so patients should receive
Perioperative steroids
Transplanted heart is vulnerable to accelerated process of coronary atherosclerosis called
Cardiac allograft vasculopathy
Most heart transplant patients get renal function from using
Cyclosporine
Prolonged ST depression check
Troponins
Elevation may start within the first 8 hours post surgery
Peak incidence of cardiac disease is within the
First 3 days of surgery
Beta blockers
Reduce myocardial oxygen consumption
Improves coronary blood flow
Improves supply/demand
Improves oxygen dissociation from Hgb
Nitrates
Decreased LV preload
Systemic venous dilation
Decreased LV afterload
Coronary artery and arteriolar dilation
Calcium channel blockers
Reduce myocardial oxygen demand By depression of myocardial contractility and dilation of coronary and collateral vessels, improving blood flow
Aspirin inhibits platelet aggregation by blocking production of
Thromboxane A2
Alpha 2 agonists stimulate pre junctional alpha receptors and
Decrease norepinephrine release
PAC is an insensitive for
MI
Hypotension
Hypertension
Tachycardia can lead to
MI
Etomidate
0.2 to 0.3 mg/kg for induction
During cardiac surgery if you get a new 3mm st segment depression in lead V5
HR control and adequate coronary perfusion pressure
Avoid hypotension
Correct anemia
Correct shivering to lower oxygen demand
Calcium channel blockers drug of choice for
Coronary spasm
Recommended HR for high risk patients
60 to 70
Definitely less than 100
To prevent tachycardia and HTN of emergence of cardiac patient can give
1 mg/kg lidocaine or esmolol or .1 mg/kg of labetalol
Visceral pain
C fibers which is dull and crampy
Most common cause of intestinal obstructions
Adhesions then hernia
Four cardinal signs of intestinal obstruction
Crampy abdominal pain
Nausea and vomiting
Obstipation,
Abdominal distension
Ileus
Functional failure of normal intestinal transit
Need to decompress abdomen
For ileus beforehand
Most important factors post aspiration
Volume
Ph of gastric content
Presence or abscence of particulate
Incomplete LES increases the likelihood of
Regurg and aspiration
Aspiration of gastric contents leads to
Chemical pneumonitis with
Hypoxemia
Bronchospasm
Atelectasis
Once vomiting or regurgitation occurs
Lateral head down
Suction
Trachea suctioned
Bronchoscopy for patients who aspirated solids leading to significant airway obstruction
Liver transplant donor types
Donation after cardiac death(DCD)
Partial livers from living donors
Harvesting marginal donors from cadevers
Candidates for liver transplant
Acute liver failure
Decompensated cirrhosis
Hepatocellular carcinoma
Most common indication for pediatric liver transplant is
Biliary atresia
Portopulmonary HTN
Mean pulmonary artery pressure>25 at rest
Pulmonary vascular resistance >240
As cirrhosis progresses you get a decrease in
SVR
Leading to compensatory activation of RAS leading to ascites, edema, and vasoconstriction of the intrarenal circulation and renal hypoperfusion
Cirrohsis leads to
Hypervolemic hyponatremia from increased secretion of ADH thus leading to expanded extracellular volume, ascites and edema
Impairs excretion of solute free water
Hepatorenal syndrome
Renal vasoconstriction in response to systemic vasodilation.
Cirrohsis with ascites
Creatinine>1.5
Abscence of shock
No current nephrotoxic meds
Type 1 is rapid with doubling of serum creatinine
Hepatopulmonary syndrome
Platypnea (dyspnea in upright position better by laying down)
Ascites initially managed with
Low sodium diet
Diuretics
Next step is paracentesis and albumin replacement
During TIPS procedure expendable stent is placed in liver
Parenchyma to decrease portal HTN
In patients with liver disease muscle relaxant doses are
Increased because fluid retention increases volume of distribution
Presence of coagulopathy is a contraindication to
Regional anesthesia especially epidural anesthesia
Preanhepatic phase
Induction of anesthesia ends with clamping of hepatic artery
Second phase
Anhepatic phase begins after removal of diseased liver and ends with reperfusion of the new liver
Clamp and divide the IVC
Without a liver
Patient may get acidosis and hypocalcemia bc lactic and citrate not cleared
Venovenous bypass
Divert blood flow from portal circulation and IVC to the right atrium
In anhepatic phase
Gluconeogenesis is absent
Removal of suprahepatic IVC doesn’t cause any changes but unclamping of the infrahepatic IVC restores
Venous return
After unclamping of portal vein
Desaturated blood goes into systemic circulation leading to decrease in BP, HR, SVR, CO etc
Hyperkalemia treatment
Diuretics, beta agonists, insulin, alkalinization with sodium bircarb or hyperventilation
Anticipate hypocalcemia with liver disease due to failure to clear
Citrate
Lethal triad
Coagulopathy
