Q

How does the Timing of an IABP work?

A

Timed w/ Dicrotic Notch & Inflates on Diastole when AV Closes to seal and increase pressure, sending blood to the coronary arteries

Q

When does the IABP deflate?

A

Deflates right before Systole at the beginning of the R-Wave

22
Q

What does IABP Deflation do?

A

Vacuum Effect

↓Aortic Pressure & ↓Afterload

Facilitates Ventricular Ejection

↓O2 Demand

23
Q

What is happening here?

A

Premature Deflation during Diastole

Suboptimal Perfusion

Backflow

Angina

↑O2 Demand

24
Q

What is happening here?

A

Deflation in Late Diastole as AV Begins to Open

No Afterload Change or ↑Afterload

↑O2 Demand

Prolonged Isovolumetric Contraction

25
Q

What is happening here?

A

Inflation before AV Closure

↑LVEDV, ↑LVEDP, & ↑PCWP

↑LV Wall Stress

↑O2 Demand

Aortic Regurg.

26
Q

What is happening here?

A

Inflation way after AV Closure

Suboptimal Pefusion

27
Q

When would it be safe for a pt to be weaned off a IABP?

A

When pt does ok w/ a 1:4 Ratio on the IABP

28
Q

What are complications associated w/ an IABP?

A

Vascular Injury/Ischemia - most common

Thrombus

Infection

Thrombocytopenia

29
Q

What is Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO)?

A

Closed circuit device that allows heart/lungs to recover while maintaing oxygenation & perfusion

30
Q

When is ECMO indicated?

A

Cardiogenic Shock

Failure to Wean off CPB

Rt. Heart Failure

Heart Failure unresponsive to VAD

Post CPR

ARDS

31
Q

What is the preferred ECMO method for pts. w/ Respiratory Failure & Intact Cardiac Function?

A

Venovenous ECMO

32
Q

What are the common cannulation sites for Venovenous ECMO?

A

Femoral & IJ Veins

33
Q

How does Venovenous ECMO work?

A

Blood is drained from SVC & IVC via IJ/Femoral Vein

then Oxygenated

then Returned to the Right Atrium

(can be separate drain & return cannulae or Single double lumen cannula)

34
Q

Which type of pt is Venoarterial ECMO used on?

A

Pts who need LV & Pulmonary Support

35
Q

How is Venoarterial ECMO different from Venovenous ECMO?

A

Venoarterial ECMO skips the Pulmonary Circulation for Higher Arterial Oxygenation

36
Q

How does Venoarterial ECMO work?

A

Centrally placed cannulas drain blood from Right Atrium & Returned to Ascending Aorta

37
Q

How would Venoarterial ECMO work if there is Peripheral Cannulation?

A

Blood is drained from Right IJ / Femoral & Returned to Femoral Artery

38
Q

For Venoarterial ECMO, what happens to the blood once it is drained and before it is returned?

A

Goes to a roller pump that circulates @ 3-6 L/min thru a Membrane Oxygenator, which removes CO2, Adds O2, then Rewarmed

39
Q

What are complications of ECMO?

A

Bleeding

Stroke

Infection

Limb Ischemia

Multiorgan Dysfunction

40
Q

What are indications for a Ventricular Assist Device?

A

Cardiogenic Shock post MI

Viral Cardiomyopathies

Post CPB

41
Q

What are contraindications to a Ventricular Assist Device?

A

Active Infection

Irreversible Renal/Hepatic Dysfunction

Severe Pulm. HTN

Metastatic Cancer

Major Coagulopathy

42
Q

How does an LVAD work?

A

Collects Oxygenated Blood from LA via Inflow Cannula & Pumps blood to the Aorta via the Outflow Cannula

43
Q

How do various Ventricular Assist Devices differ?

A

Continuous vs. Pulsatile

Short Term vs Longterm

Pneumatic vs Electric

Location: Intra-, Extra-, Para-Corporeal

44
Q

What is an Impella?

A

Small VAD placed percutaneously thru the Femoral Artery that pumps blood from LV to the Aorta @ 2.5 L/min

45
Q

Why do pts w/ an LVAD have a higher risk for bleeding?

A

These pts may have Hepatic Congestion from Right HF

46
Q

What are the Anesthetic Cardiovascular goals for pts w/ an LVAD?

A

Prevent Bradycardia

&

Maintain Sympathetic Tone

47
Q

What is the leading cause of death in LVAD patients?

A

Sepsis - maintain strict sterile technique

48
Q

Why is Intra-Op TEE used for pts w/ LVAD?

A

30% of these pts develop RV Dysfunction - use TEE to avoid RV Overfilling

49
Q

What meds can be given to treat RV Dysfunction?

A

Epinephrine & Milrinone - ↓RV Afterload

Nitric Oxide - Dilates Pulmonary Vessels

50
Q

LVAD Flow is highly dependent on Volume. What is the Volume of Choice?
