Q

endothelial glycocalyx

A

gel layer in capillary epithelium that creates a physiologically active barrier within vascular space. helps keep fluid in intravascular space, promotes laminar flow

  • binds to circulating plasma albumin, preserving oncotic pressure and decreasing capillary permeability to water
  • also contains inflammatory mediators, free radical scavenging, activation of anticoagulation forces

Q
synthetic colloid solutions: hydroxyethyl starch (6%)
2 types
effectiveness
excretion
administration considerations
oncotic pressure
max dose 
population that may benefit
A

hespan (in .95% NaCl solution)
hextend (in a balanced electrolyte solution similar to LR)
not as effective as albumin for volume expansion, but less expensive than albumin
primarily excreted via kidneys
coagulopathy due to dilution thrombocytopenia
max dose limited to <20mL/kg/day
oncotic pressure 30
dose dependent coagulopathy
not used a ton in OR but jehovahs witnesses may accept this

29
Q

Pedema association

A

more so with colloids only because of faster fluid shift

30
Q

colloids need to knows

A

less tissue edema association, less volume infused, volume of choice for hypoproteinemia

31
Q

fluid choice of crystalloids indications and things to consider
how do large volumes effect plasma oncotic pressure

A

most effective for initial management of ECF losses (hemorrhagic shock, major surgery, or trauma)
large volumes lead to hemodilution (albumin, RBC’s, thrombocytopenia), and decreased plasma colloidal oncotic pressure, edema and transudates
thrombocytopenia and decreased clotting with dilution FVO and alot of IVF. maybe consider trendelenburg before you infuse mucho

32
Q

fluid choice of colloids indications and things to consider

A

continued fluid resuscitation should include colloids, attempting to minimize interstitial edema of vital organs: heart, lung, brain
colloids are effective plasma expanders
infusion of 500mL albumin or hetastarch
6% expand plasma volume by 500mL
colloids draw about 20mL into plasma volume per gram of colloid given

33
Q

preoperative goals

A
meet basal fluid requirements
replace losses
restore/maintain hemodynamic stability
enhance microvascular blood flow so that oxygen is delivered to tissues
maintain aerobic cellular metabolism
34
Q

sources of intraop fluid requirements

A
maintenance
fluid deficit
blood loss
evaporative losses (3rd space loss)
35
Q

average normothermic 70kg patient with normal metabolic rate may lose ______mL water/day

A

2500ml

36
Q

maintenance fluid requirement (MIVF)

A

4-2-1 rule
4cc/kg/h + 2cc/kg/h + 1cc/kg/h
trick: add 40cc to weight. does not work for <20kg pt

37
Q

fluid deficit etiology and equation

A

maintenance requirement multiplied by number of hours patient has been NPO. also consider other losses like preop bleeding, vomiting, diuresis, diarrhea, bowel prep, occult losses, fluid sequestration (edema), ascites, increased insensible losses, hyperventilation, fever, sweating
ex) 8hrs NPO x 80kg pt = 120x8=960cc deficit

38
Q

fluid deficit replacement strategy (based on 80kg patient)

A

1/2 of deficit replaced in first hour of surgery plus MIVF
1/4 of deficit replaced in 2nd hour of surgery plus MIVF
remiaining 1/4 replaced in 3rd hour of surgery plus MIVF
hr 1: 590cc
hr 2: 370cc
hr 3: 370cc

39
Q

evaporative loss and 3rd space loss etiology

A

evaporative loss related directly to surface area of surgical wound and duration of exposure ex) open belly case
3rd space loss is due to fluid shifts and intravascular volume deficit caused by redistribution of fluids ex) trauma, infection (sepsis), burns, ascites

40
Q

calculating 3rd space loss need to know and replacement measurement

A

type of procedure, degree of exposure, amount of surgical manipulation
based on whether tissue trauma is minimal, moderate, or severe
guidelines only, variation from patient to patient
replacement measured in ml/kg/hr
not until incision is made then add evaporative loss to maintenance and replacement

41
Q

A

(dont even usually see replacement)
eye cases, lap whole, hernia, knee scope
0-2ml/kg/h

42
Q

gun shot, MVA

10-15ml/kg/h

45
Q
estimating blood loss
1gm=
where to look
gauze 4x4

visual estimation: remember floor, surgical drapes, bed sheets, suction containers
soaked gauze 4x4=10cc
ray tech 10-20cc
soaked lap pads 100-150cc
wet sponges 20-30% of dry value
(pay attention to if they moistened the lap pad or if it goes in dry)

46

60ml/kg

55
Q

allowable blood loss and equation

A

determines how much blood you can lose to reach a particular HCT
based on IBW
ABL=EBV x (pts starting HCT - allowable HCT) / pts starting HCT
multiply allowable HGB x 3 for allowable HCT
ex) healthy 75kg male with HCT 40% will allow HCT to drop to 25%.
EBL 75x75 = 5625
abv=(5625 x .15) / .4
=2110cc

how long can 1U of PRBC's be stored before use
A

type specific ABO and Rh factor alone is sufficient in 98.9% of patients (incompatibility seen in 1 in 1000)
further testing if antibodies present or patients has had numerous blood products
HCT of one unit of PRBC’s is 70%
reconstituted with 100cc ish of NS
1U good for 35-42d

62

A

unit of packed rbc’s
complications include anemia, preop MI from anemia, administration of wrong unit, need for more frequent blood transfusion, febrile and allergic reaction

65
Q

cell saver

A

salvage of blood from surgical site
blood processed is washed and separated
rbc’s are transfused back
contraindications to cell salvage: surgery with wounds contaminated with bacteria, amniotic fluid, malignant cells or patients with sepsis, chemical contaminations.
usually always in cards cases (but dont do it alot)

66
Q

acute normovolemic hemodilution

A

remove blood from patient (after induction)
replace blood volume lost with crystalloid or colloid
after surgical blood loss has slowed or stopped, patients blood transfused back to patient
not often done (makes sense)

67
Q
platelets
how are they obtained
uses
usual volume
how much does 1U increase plt count
single donor name
six pack of platelets outcome
2 risks and how often they happen
A

one unit obtained by centrifuging single unit
uses include thrombocytopenia, dysfunctional platelets, active bleeding, platelet count less than 50k
volume usually 200-400cc
one unit increases plt count 7,000-10,000 one hour after transfusion
incidence of platelet related sepsis 1 in 12k
bacterial contamination risk 1:2k
aphaeresis means single donor
30-60k raise in 60kg pt from on “six pack of platelets”
