Q

What are the 3 conclusions of the peditratic cpg solutions study?

A
  1. Myocardial protection techniques still remained highly variable among congenital heart surgeons
  2. Perception that del nido and custodial solutions can offer appropriate myocardial protection for longer intervals w/ decreased repeat dosing
  3. observational study should be considered

Study These Flashcards
A

90-180 mL/min

23
Q

Never give custodial more than how long?

Study These Flashcards
A

up to 2 hours

24
Q

HTK

Study These Flashcards
A

Histidine Tryptophan Ketoglutarate

25
The addition of _______ may provide a protective effect on the hypoxic- ischemic immature heart.
Magnesium
26
What effect does magnesium have?
Antiarrythmic, inhibited entry of calcium into the myocytes, and decreased uptake of sodium by myocytes during ischemia
27
Magnesium is exchanged for __________ during reperfusion.
Calcium
28
What development has significantly altered blood usage and post op care in pediatrics?
MUF
29
What is the purpose of MUF?
Allow recovery of the pump blood for the patient while allowing the patient to be in a hemodynamic state to accept the volume is the significant advance for pediatric perfusionists
30
MUF utilizes _______________ at a specific point post CPB.
a hemoconcentrator
31
Who developed MUF?
Mr. Martin Elliot (Great Ormand Street/Hospital for Sick Children London UK) in 1985
32
Why are MUF improvements not sustained 24 hours after the operation?
Pulmonary compliance is affected both by excess fluid form the hemodilutional effect of bypass, as well as the systemic inflammatory response decreases total body water and removes inflammatory cytokines. Initiation of systemic inflammatory response most likely occurs during rewarming Can't overcome capillary leak caused by activated ongoing inflammatory response
33
MUF starts ________ (before/after) inflammatory cascade has been activated.
After
34
When is MUF performed?
after CPB is complete and allows filtration of both the patient and remaining contents of the CPB circuit, including the venous reservoir.
35
In MUF, where is the ultrafilter?
Interposed in the CPB circuit between the aortic arterial line and the venous.
36
After weaning from CPB, how is the blood removed?
From the patient via the aortic cannula and fed through the ultrafilter; outlet of the ultrafilter is fed to the RA of the patient
37
Blood flow through the ultrafilter approximates what?
20 mL/kg/min max
38
When suction is applied to the filter port of the ultrafilter, what is the ultrafiltration rate?
100 to 150 mL/min
39
What pressure is maintained constant in MUF to achieve continued hemodynamic stability in the patient?
Left atrial or right atrial pressure is maintained
40
When does ultrafiltration stop?
10-20 minutes OR HCT 40-50 | But in reality, when the impatient surgeon makes you.
41
What are the beneficial effects of MUF?
Total body water is reduced as a direct result of removing the ultrafiltrate Reduced edema Reduced hospital stay Reduced ventilation times Reduced incidence of pleural and pericardial effusions
42
What are the arguments against MUF?
Possible air embolism Circuit complexity and cost Prolonged exposure to foreign surface Patient can be concentrated before coming off CPB
43
Where does air enter in MUF?
Venous side
44
Endpoints of hemofiltration vary, but can be defined by? (3)
Time Volume Hematocrit
45
In the postoperative period, patients receiving MUF have __________ (smaller/larger) increases in total-body weight.
Smaller
46
In addition to decreasing edema, hemofiltration _________ (increases/decreases) HCT. What does this translate to?
Increases; translates to increased oxygen-carrying capacity
47
Removed fluids also contain what?
Inflammatory mediators and vasoactive substances
48
Clinical studies have demonstrated that MUF is associated with: (4)
Increased ventricular systolic function Imrpoved cerebral blood flow, cerebral metabolic activity, cerebral oxygen delivery Pulmonary function, decreased post op ventilation Decreased postop bleeding, chest-tube drainage, pleural effusions = Short hospital stays.
