Q

How does obesity affect ventilatory defect?

A

Decreased lung compliance > decreased PaO2 (no real change in PaCO2) > increased O2 consumption and increased CO2 production

25
How should you calculate perioperative fluid requirements?
Based on patients lean body weight
26
Why does obesity stimulate HTN?
Hyperinsulinemia SNS RAAS activation Atherosclerosis Elevated cytokine concentration
27
What are some EKG associated with obesity?
> Low voltage EKG (increased distance from leads) > Left axis deviation (LV hypertrophy) > right axis deviation ( RV hypertrophy) > QT prolongation > ischemia (O2 supply/demand mismatch) > dysrhythmias (fatty infiltration if conduction system)
28
How pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic factors change in relation to obesity?
Increased volume of distribution for lipophilic drugs Increased volume of distribution for hydrophilic drugs **higher cardiac output hastens IV drug delivery to the site of action (shortens circ time)
29
How do you determine lean body weight?
IBW x 1.3
30
What type of volatile agents should be used in the obese?
Agents with the lowest blood:gas coefficients Sevo and Des are faster emergence than Iso or propofol
31
How does you dose propofol?
LBW: induction TBW: maintenance
32
How does you dose sux?
TBW: ONLY for induction
33
How does you dose roc/vec?
LBW: for intubation and maintenance
34
How does you dose cisatracurium/Atracurium?
TBW: loading and maintenance
35
How does you dose fent?
LBW: maintenance TBW: loading
36
How does you dose Remi?
LBW: both loading and maintenance
37
How does you dose versed?
TBW: both loading and maintenance
38
How does you dose local anesthetics?
75% of normal dose
39
Which muscle opens the nasopharynx?
Tensor palatine
40
Which muscle opens the oropharnx?
Genioglossus
41
Which muscle opens the hypopharynx?
Hyoid muscles
42
What is OSA defined as?
Cessation of airflow for at least 10 seconds with 5 or more unsuccessful efforts to breath (obstruction) and a > 4% reduction in SaO2
43
What is hypopnea defined as?
A 50% reduction in airflow for 10 seconds 15 or more times per hour.
44
What factors increase the likelihood of OSA?
BMI> 30 Abdominal fat distribution Large neck girth > 17 inches in men and > 16 inches in women
45
What is OSA an independent risk factor for?
HTN, Cardiovascular morbidity , and death
46
What is considered a mild apnea/hypopnea index?
5-15 episodes per hr
47
What is considered a moderate apnea/hypopnea index score?
15-30 episodes/hr
48
What is considered a severe apnea/hypopnea index?
> 30 episodes/hr
49
What is the classic triad of dysfunctional sleep?
Apnea o snoring with hypopnea during sleep Arousal from sleep Daytime somnolence
50
What is the definite test for OSA?
Polysomnography
51
What STOP-BANG score is considered a high risk for OSA?
> 3
52
What STOP-BANG score is considered a low risk for OSA?
< 3 questions answered yes
53
What is the STOP-BANG score?
S: snoring T: tiredness O: observes apnea P: pressure (BP) B: BMI A: age (> 50) N: neck circumference (> 40 cm) G: gender (male > female)
54
What is obesity Hypoventilation syndrome?
Long-term consequence of untreated OSA “Also called pickwickian syndrome)
55
What is the classic presentation to obesity Hypoventilation syndrome?
Apnea during sleep WITHOUT resp effort ~ resp center in medulla fails to respond to hypercarbia
56
What is the diagnostic criteria for obesity Hypoventilation syndrome?
BMI> 30 Awake PaCO2 > 45 Dysfunctional breathing during sleep
57
What are some of the signs of obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome?
Obesity Hypersomnolence Hypoxemia Hypercarbia Resp acidosis Polycythemia Pulmonary HTN RV failure
58
What is the MOST sensitive sign of an anastomotic leak following gastric bypass?
Unexplained tachycardia
59
What is the most effective treatment for reversing obesity?
Bariatric surgery
60
What is a malabsorption approach to surgical weight loss?
Examples: jejunoileal bypass, biliopancreatic diversion, duodenal switch > Points: gastric removal and removal of a portion of the small intestine > limits nutrient absorption > patient at risk for Vitamin K, B12, iron, and folate depletion.
61
What is a restriction surgical approach to surgical weight loss?
Examples: gastric band, sleeve gastrectomy > Points: limits quantity of food > least invasive procedure > nutrient absorption is still good > reduced gastric hormone secretion
62
What is a combination surgical approach to surgical weight loss?
Examples: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass > points: combination of malabsorption and restrictive > yields the best weight loss and improvement in comorbidities > risk of nutrient deficiency
63
What are the most common signs of an anastomotic leak?
Tachycardia (most) Fever Abdominal pain
64
What is the most significant risk factor for the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis?
Obesity
65
What is Ma Huang?
Appetite suppressant **Natural source of ephedrine (HTN, CVAs, seizures, adrenergic overstimulation)
66
What is Orlistat?
Lipase inhibitor ~ hinders absorption in and digestion of fats. Fat solublevitamins (DAKE) must be supplemented orally
67
What is sibutramine?
Norepinephrine and serotonin inhibitor used for appetite suppressant ***risk of serotonin syndrome
