  • tachycardia
  • normal secretions
  • normal pupil or dilated

  • symptoms temporarily improved with edrophonium
22

Q

RCRI criteria

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. elevated surgery risk
  2. history of ischemic heart disease
  3. history of CHF
  4. history of CVA
  5. preop insulin use
  6. preop creatinine >2
25
Bradycardia ACLS
1. maintain airway, oxygen, IV access, EKG 2. atropine (0.5mg), transcutaneous pacing, dopamine (2-20mcg/kg/min, epi (2-10 mcg/kg/min) 3. consult cards, transvenous pacing
26
Tachycardia ACLS
- pulseless VT/VF ---> SHOCK (unsynchronized) - synchronized DCCV: afib, aflutter, SVT - unsynchronized (defibrillation): pVT/VF or failure to synchronize
27
Tachycardia Algorithm
- maintain airway - if unstable, regular narrow complex (adenosine) or DCCV - if stable; adenosine, vagal maneuvers, CCB/BB
28
Triple H Therapy
- hypertension - hypervolemia - hemodilution
29
Neuroprotective Mechanisms
- propofol, barbiturate, etomidate gtt - mannitol/furosemide - mild hypothermia (32-34C)
30
Onset, Potency and Duration of LA
- onset: pKa - potency: lipid solubility - duration: protein binding
31
Pyloric Stenosis Electrolyte Derangments
- hypokalemia - hypochloremia - metabolic alkalosis medical emergency, not surgical emergency. replace fluid first, then potassium (D5 1/2NS)
32
Sickle Cell Disease
- hemoglobinopathy leading to mutations on hemoglobin S and in presence of decreased O2 tension, deformation occurs - increasing hct >30% is as effective as exchange transfusion - avoid hypoxemia, hypotension, hypothermia, acidosis and hypovolemia - tx: pain control, hydration, supplemental O2, maintain hct, exchange transfusion if hgbS >40%
33
``` Pregnancy Changes? CO SVR HR CVP PCWP ```
CO increases 40-50% above baseline; 80% right after birth SVR decreases HR increases CVP, PCWP, PADP unchanged
34
murmurs normal in pregnancy?
- functional systolic murmurs occur in 90% of pregnancy | - diastolic murmurs are NEVER normal
35
Hemodynamic goals in mitral stenosis
- prevent tachycardia - prolong diastolic filling time - prevent AF
36
Fetal Decelerations...
- early: head compression - late: uteroplacental insufficiency - variable: umbilical cord compression
37
vonWillebrand Disease
- vWF synthesized in endothelial cells and bind to factor VIII - prolonged BT, aPTT and platelet function - treatment is DDAVP - NO EFFECT ON TYPES 2B AND 3
38
Dantrolene MOA
- binds ryanodine receptor and decreases intracellular calcium concentration
39
carcinoid triad
- flushing - diarrhea - cardiac involvement (pulmonic stenosis or tricuspid regurg) symptomatic carcinoid means metastasis bypassing the liver
40
postoperative jaundice
prehepatic: hemolysis; breakdown of hematoma, transfusion breakdown, CPB breakdown --- increased bilirubin hepatic: injury to hepatocytes; hypoxia, drug reaction, ischemia, sepsis posthepatic: obstruction; stones, stricture, direct injury
41
lowering ICP
- elevate head of bed - avoid agitation/anxiety/coughing - mannitol 0.5g/kg (max 100g) - mild hyperventilation (no less than 30 mmHg) - mild hypothermia (32-33C)
42
TE fistula
- types A-E; most common is type C - avoid ventilation through fistula leading to distention of stomach - maintain spontaneous ventilation until corrected - NG decompression prior to intubation - catheter can be used to occlude fistula
43
Malignant Hyperthermia Treatment
- stop offending agents - initiate dantrolene 2.5mg/kg every 6 hours - increase fluids, may need lasix/mannitol to maintain UOP - serial electrolytes, blood gas, creatine kinase, LFT, coags - cool patient (not below 38C to prevent hypothermia) - monitor patient in ICU for up to 72 hours for relapse, renal function and DIC
44
causes of atrial fibrillation
- idiopathic - valvular - CAD - caffeine - alcohol use - hyperthyroidism - LVH - HTN
45
how does epinephrine help in anaphylaxis?
- alpha activity helps increase SVR - beta activity relaxes bronchial smooth muscles - beta increases cAMP to restore membrane permeability and decrease release of vasoactive agents
46
meds to avoid in LAST
- vasopressin: shown worse outcomes when used - CCB: negative inotropy, slowed cardiac conduction, vasodilation - BB: reduced blood flow to liver, negative inotropy and chronotropy - LA: procainamide and lidocaine
47
What drugs should be avoided in a patient with pheo?
- increase in fasciulations: succinylcholine - increase in histamine release: morphine, atracurium - increase in sympathetic activity: ketamine, pancuronium, atropine, ephedrine - droperidol, metoclopramide
48
FeNa
< 1%: pre-renal | > 2%: ATN/intrinsic disease
49
BUN/Cr
> 20:1 pre-renal | < 10:1 renal
50
Autonomic Hyperreflexia
- spinal cord lesion at T7 or higher - noxious stimuli below level of lesion leads to uninhibited sympathetic response - hypertensive leading to vasodilation and flushing above level of lesion with bradycardia
51
Antiemetic Drugs
- serotonin: ondansetron - dopamine: metaclopramide, droperidol - anticholinergic: scopolamine - glucocorticoid: dexamethasone - NKT antagonist: aprepitant - histamine: promethazine
52
Effect of inhaled vs IV on ICP, CBF and CMRO2
- Thiopental, propofol, and etomidate all decrease CMRO2, ICP, and CBF - inhaled reduce CMRO2, increase CBF
