Q

Characteristics of Crystalloid solutions?

  • need to edit, slide 12 and slide 13
A

An aqueous solution of mineral salts and other small, water soluble molecules. Many (but not all) are isotonic to plasma (basically neutral to plasma)

  • Crystalloids approximate concentrations of various solutes found in plasma and do not exert an osmotic effect
  • Crystalloids function to expand intravascular volume without disturbing ion concentrations or causing large fluid shifts between intracellular, intravascular, and interstitial spaces (This depends on the patient’s status….acutely ill)

Q

What are colloid solutions?

A

Colloids are based on crystalloid solutions, containing water electrolytes, but have the added component of a colloidal substance (usually a starch or protein) that does not freely diffuse across a semipermeable membrane.

  • Colloids are high molecular weight substance that largely remains in the intravascular department which generates an oncotic pressure

Q

Why would Colloids be used in place of blood replacement products?

A

Colloids while more expensive than crystalloids are cheaper than blood replacement products

42
Q

What are the risks of using 0.9% saline?

A

Increased risk of hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis if large amounts of saline are used

  • Chlorine will displace bicarbonate (hyperchlorhydria occurs)
43
Q

What is hyperchlorhydria?

A

When massive amounts of chloride entering the blood at once.

  • Forces bicarbonate to move intracellularly to maintain equilibrium
44
Q

When are Colloids used?

A
  • Severely critical patients
  • Hemorrhagic patients (without access/delayed access to blood products)
  • Renal Replacement therapy
45
Q

When would you use hypertonic vs normal saline?

A

hypertonic saline is primarily used for rapid volume expansion and osmotherapy to reduce intracranial pressure, while normal saline is a standard fluid for intravenous hydration and resuscitation in various clinical scenarios.

46
Q

Why is the type of replacement fluid important?

A

Loss of fluids (esp. blood) involves the loss of electrolytes

47
Q

What is the equation for fluid monitoring/resusctiation?

A

Total Need = Basal need + Pre-existing deficit + ongoing losses

48
Q

What is the Perioperative fluid strategy?

A

The 4:2:1 formula

  • still in use bc not very evidence based
49
Q

What is the most adverse outcome with perioperative fluid strategies?

A

Weight gain

50
Q

When is the 4:2:2 formula used?

A

This formula is for maintenance fluid; before any blood or fluid loss connected to the surgery is included

  • based on crystalloid fluids
51
Q

Why is the use of colloids restricted for hypovolemia?

A

while effective in expanding intravascular volume, is often restricted or used with caution due to several factors:

  1. Risk of Fluid Overload: They remain in the intravascular space longer compared to crystalloids. While this property can be beneficial for maintaining intravascular volume, it increases the risk of fluid overload, especially in patients with impaired renal function or congestive heart failure.
  2. Potential for Coagulopathy: Certain colloids like hydroxyethyl starch (HES), have been associated with coagulopathy, including impaired platelet function and altered coagulation parameters. This can pose significant risks, especially in patients with bleeding disorders, trauma, or those undergoing surgery.
  3. Renal Dysfunction: The administration of colloids may further exacerbate renal dysfunction and contribute to fluid retention, electrolyte imbalances, and worsened outcomes.
52
Q

What ratio should surgical blood loss be treated with colloids intraoperatively?

A

1:1 (typically with colloids)

53
Q

During operations why are balanced salt solution preferable to normal saline?

A

Less risk of fluid shifts and need of filtering

  1. Lower risk of hyperchloremic acidosis
  2. Reduced risk of tissue edema bc of reduced likely hood of fluid shifts into intersittal space
  3. Less chloride that needs to be filtered by the kidneys
54
Q

why should crystalloids be restricted intraoperatively?

A

Electrolyte imbalances and tissue edema

  1. crystalloids like ringers lactate have sodium, chloride, and lactate which could lead to hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis in large volumes
  2. crystalloids allow liquids to diffuse across cell membranes into interstitial spaces
55
Q

What should be done post op if weight gain exceeds 1 kg?

A

Post op restriction of fluids and use of diuretics

56
Q

Traits of mild fluid deficit?

A

Minus 3-5% fluid

  1. Dry mucous membrane
  2. Decreased urine output u/o
  3. Thirst
57
Q

A

Minus 7-10% fluid

  1. Decreased skin turgor
  2. Decreased orthostatic mechanism
58
Q

Traits of severe fluid deficit?

A

minus 11-15% fluid

  1. Hypotension
  2. Cool extremities
  3. dry skin
  4. stupor
59
Q

What is the orthostatic mechanism?

  • Relation to hypotension?
A

When gravity causes blood to pool in the lower extremities.

Hypotension occurs when enough drops to the point where venous return is compromised, resulting in decreased cardiac output and subsequent lowering of arterial pressure.

60
Q

What is Blood therapy?

A

The therapeutic use of blood or blood products in the operating

61
Q

A

Hemoglobin concentrations:

  • 10g/dl rare
  • 6g/dl always requires transfusion
64
Q

What lowers the threshold for tranfusions?

A

Chronic disease; specifically ischemia or pts at risk of it may require transfusions with Hb concentrations of 8 g/dl or higher

65
Q

  • Present as fever and chills
  • Occur in 0.5-1% of transfusions
  • Temperature rarely increase above 38 Celsius
73
Q

A

IV antihistamines

77
Q

78
Q

What are Hemolytic Transfusion Reactions?

A

When wrong blood type is administered to a patient

79
Q

What happens during a Hemolytic reaction?

A

Activation of the complement system produces intravascular hemolysis and spontaneous hemorrhage (immune response to pathogens)

  • hard to identify under anesthesia
80
Q

What do we rely on to identify hemolytic transfusion reactions

A

Appearance of free hemoglobin in urine and plasma

81
Q

Why does anesthesia make it difficult to identify hemolytic transfusion reactions

A

Anesthesia blocks signs and symptoms, such as substernal and lumbar pain, skin flushing, dyspnea

82
Q

What could be a secondary event to occur to a hemolytic reaction?

A

DIC

  • Its a condition that causes abnormal blood clotting throughout the body’s blood vessels.
  • DIC could develop if an infection or injury that affects the body’s normal blood clotting process
83
Q

What are examples of infections that could occur due to transfusions?

A

HIV or Hepatitis

84
Q

What is a citrate reaction?

A

Thought to be related to leukocyte antibodies found in the transfused plasma

91
Q

What is Major crossmatch used for?

A

Used to assess computability of donors RBCs within the recipients plasma

92

What is the main function of major crossmatch?

A

The final check of ABO (antigen) compatibility between donor and receipt before transfusion

93
Q

What does Blood group A match with and which antibodies does it produce in the plasma?

A

Blood group A present with type A antigen on the surface of the cells and produces Anti-B antibodies in the plasma

94
Q

What does Blood group B match with and which antibodies does it produce in the plasma?

A

Blood group B presents with type B antigen on the surface of the cells and produces Anti-A antibodies in the plasma

95
Q

What does Blood group O match with and which antibodies does it produce in the plasma?

A

Blood group O have not antigen on their surface of the cell but produce both Anti-A and Anti-B antibodies in the plasma

96
Q

What is the optimal approach for a emergency transfusion?

  • hint before compatibility testing is completed
A

Transfusion of type-specific, partially crossmatched blood
Donor RBCs are mixed with recipient plasma, centrifuged, and observed for macroscopic agglutination.

  • This takes approximately 10 mins
  • If no time, O-negative packed RBCs are given
  • If time is available for cross matched blood testing; then the option is to administer type-specific, non-crossmatched blood if available
97
Q

To reduce the risk of transmission of infection and complications associated with allogenic blood and to protect an increasingly scarce resource (blood)

99
Q

Why is Autologous Blood Transfusion not a practical solution?

A

Autologous donation is expensive and is not very effective at reducing allogenic blood transfusion

100
Q
