Q

What are the main goals of anesthesia management in patients with AKI? 2

A

(1) maintenance of an adequate systemic blood pressure and cardiac output
(2) avoidance of further renal insults, including hypovolemia, hypoxia, and exposure to nephrotoxins.

Invasive hemo-dynamic monitoring is mandatory.

What does AKIN classify and how is it different than RIFLE?

A

Acute Kidney Injury Network

Acute rise in serum creatinine within 48hrs

  • Stage 1= same as Risk +increase in SCr ≥ 0.3 mg/dL (≥ 26.4 μmol/L)
    • UO < 0.5 mL/kg per hour × 6 h
  • Stage 2= same as Injury
    • UO < 0.5 mL/kg per hour × 12 h
  • Stage 3= same as Failure + initiation of renal replacement therapy
    • UO < 0.3 mL/kg per hour × 24 h or anuria × 12 h

Q

What are the three layers of the nerve?

A

Epineurium: outermost layer, surrounds peripheral bundles and blood vessels.

  • Vasa nervorum
  • Protects against compressive and stretching forces.

Perineurium: surrounds groups of fascicles.

  • Provides structural support and acts as a diffusion barrier.

Endoneurium: surrounds individual nerve fibers and Schwann cells.

medulla oblongata and comprises the reticular formation and the nucleus of the tractus solitarius. efferent pathways travel within the 5th, 7th, 9th, 10th, and 12th cranial nerves to the upper gastrointestinal tract, within vagal and sympathetic nerves to the lower tract, and within spinal nerves to the diaphragm and abdominal muscles.
54
What does fractional excretion of sodium evaluate?
FeNa (%) = [(pCr × UNa)/(pNa × UCr)] × 100 =Filtered sodium/ GFR helps differentiate between prerenal and renal azotemia higher than 2% (or urinary sodium concentration \> 40 mEq/L) reflects decreased ability of the renal tubules to conserve sodium and is consistent with tubular dysfunction
