Other contraindications to surgery
poor nutrition - ------albumin < 3,, ------transferrin < 200 ------weight loss of total body < 20% Lever failure - High bili, Pt > 16 ammonia > 150 SMoker - stop 6-8 wks prior
Absoulte contrindications to surgery
diabetic coma and DKA
Meds to stop prior to surgery
aspirin
NSAIDS
vit E ( 2 weeks)
If have CKD what do you do 24 hrs proior to surgery
diayllsis 24 hours prior
What post surgical complication would you worry about with the BUN > 100
Platlet dysfunction and bleeding
What would the labs show for uremia induced platlet dysfunction
Normal platlets but prolonged bleeding time
SIMV
You get a set TV. therfore if the patient starts the breath they get the full volume
PVRC
Pt determines the rate but a boost of pressure is given for each breath
CPAP
Pt must breath on their own but prssure is given all the time
PEEP
- pressure delivered at the end of the cycle to help th avelooi open VERY important top help in ARDS
What would you change on a vent if : PaCO2 is Hihg and pH is low
increase Rate or TV
What would you change on a vent if : Paco2 is low and Ph is high
decrease rate OR TV
IF Hco2 is low and pCO2 is low
what is the cuase and what do you check next
Metabolic acidosis
next check anion gap - ( Na- [cl+ hco3])
Causes of metabolic acidosis With a HIgh anion gap
M-methanol U- uremia D- DKA P-propylene gylcol I-iron, isoniazid -L - lactic acidosis E- etholnol S- Siacylic acid
Causes of metabolic acidosis With a normall anion gap
diarrhea, diuretics RTA I< II, IV
If HCO3 is high and PCO2 is high and cl- in the urine is < 20
Vomiting/NG tube antacids, diuretics
If HCO3 is high and PCO2 is high and cl- in the urine is > 20
Conns Bartters Gittlemans
then you have low sodium when do you use 3% Na iv
when the patient is symptomatic with seizures or sodium is below 110
complication of correctio of hyponatermia too quickly
Centeral pontine myoliinolysis
If you ahve an increase in total body sodium what do you replace with and what is a complication
replace with D5 or hypoteonic fluid
risk of cerebral brain edema
Numbness chvostek, or troussaeus sign or Prolonged Qt interval
Decrease Ca2+
Bone pain, kidney stones, Abdominal discomfort from constipation, Depression anexity trouble sleeping anorexiaOR shortened QT
Increased Ca2+
Paraylsis, Ileus, ST depression U waves

Peaked T waves ( generalized) prolonged PR and QRS waves
Cause?
Treatment?
Cause - give Ca gluconate then insulin + glucose and kayexalate albuterol and sodium bicarb….. last resort is diaylsis
