Q

Renal Failure and Induction Agents:

  • No major clinical change? (consider BP drop/CV status)
  • Highly PB, free fraction can be 2x normal (exaggerated response)?
  • Highly protein bound, longer lasting sedation?
  • 60-80% cleared by kidneys in form of active metabolite and highly PB?
A
  • Etomidate, Ketamine, Propofol
  • Thiopental
  • Precedex
  • Midazolam

Q

Opioids and Renal Failure:

  • Avoid repeated dosing, active metabolite?, highly PB and histamine release?
  • AVOID? metabolite?
  • Accumulates avoid repeated dosing? metabolite?
  • **These are ok to give!?
A
  • Morphine- 6 glucuronide
  • Meperidine- normeperidine
  • Hydromorphone- 3 glucuronide
  • **Fentanyl, Alfentanil, Remifentanil
    - FAR and away the best way to treat pain in RF

Q

RF and Premedication:

  • ___ usually not given due to CNS effects
  • ___ use short acting and titrate carefully
  • ___ alpha blocker, may accentuate hypotension-usually small dose ok
  • ___ highly dependent on renal excretion - but do use with GI prophylaxis, ___ will accumulate in RF, avoid this!!
A
  • Scopolamine
  • Benzos
  • Phenothiazine (droperidol)
  • H2 blockers, reglan

Q

Maintenance of RF want to avoid ___ and ___

A

Halothane = Increased K+ and acidosis leads to myocardial irritability

Enflurane = avoid due to fluoride concern

  • Ideal VAs??
  • Careful accelerated induction and emergence seen with ___ d/t decreased solubility
A
  • Succ (check K+ level!)

Q
Maintenance of Anesthesia:
???
-If HTN persists ?
-Hypoventilation exacerbates \_\_\_
-Hypercapnia predisposes to \_\_\_
-Alkalosis causes ?
A
  • opioid with N2O/O2/agent
  • increase IAs, NTG, Hydralazine
  • acidosis
  • arrhythmias
  • left shift on oxy-hgb curve
  • **Alkalosis just as bad as acidosis, want a happy equilibrium! :-)

Q

Fluid Management:
Very narrow margin for anuric patients with CHF.
Patient tipping into CHF give ___ - but give very judiciously!!! Usually give 1 mg then another, tend to not go above 5 mg - any higher and could tip patient into hypovolemia. Patient in OR at risk for bleeding, evaporation (third space loss) = losing lots of fluids in OR why you use very low end dosing. ***___ can be given when UOP decreases

A

lasix

lasix 5 mg

Q
  • **Overall goal = Adequate Intravascular Fluid Volume and minimizing CV Depression - Vasopressors are used sparingly:
  • Results in greatest interference with renal circulation?
  • Don’t result in renal vasoconstriction but increase myocardial irritability?
A
  • Phenylephrine (alpha adrenergic agonist)

- Beta adrenergic

Q
Cystoscopy:
