Presentations mixture of highlights!!!!!!!! Flashcards
I am just putting together a mixture of topics from the power points presented!!!!!!!!!!!
Asthma and bronchospasms
this is the first topic!!!!!!!!!!
what is asthma?
a chronic pulmonary disease characterized by airway inflammation, airflow obstruction, and bronchial hyper-reactivity
5 manifestations of asthma
dyspnea
wheezing
chest tightness
cough
2 types of asthma
Atopic
non-atopic
which asthma is the most common type?
atopic
Which asthma is:
type I IgE mediated hypersensitivity reaction
usually beings in childhood
triggered by environmental allergens
skin test with antigen shows wheel and flare reation
Atopic
Which type of asthma is:
viral respiratory infections are common trigger
inflammation associated hyperirritability
family hx less common
no evidence of allergen sensitization
non-atopic
Patho of atopic Asthma
big ass slide just read over be familiar with different phases and basic process!!!
-initial exposiure to the allergen stimulates the TH2 cells to:
—-secrete inflammatory cytokins
—- trigger the B cells to produce IgE
- IgE coated mast cells
-repeated exposure to allergen triggers the mast cells to release granule contents and produce cytokines and other mediators
-EARLY PHASE
-bronchoconstriction, increased mucus production, vasodilation with increased vascular pearmeability
LATE PHASE
- epithelial damage and additional inflammation and airway constriction
You can do it!!
just a word of encouragement!!!!
Bronchoactive drugs! give examples of each category B2-adrenergic agonist? Anticholinergics? MastCell stabilizers? Corticosteroids? Luekotriene receptor antagonist?
B2-adrenergic agonist? ----albuterol; terbutaline; metaproternol Anticholinergics? ---- ipratropium bromide MastCell stabilizers? ---- cromolyn, nedocromil Corticosteroids? you know them there is a million Luekotriene receptor antagonist? ----- Muontelukast, Zafirlukast, and Zileuton
Quickly how do each of the following drug categories work for asthma (should know incase our pt's get asthma attack in OR) don;t go deep (lol) please give it a try you'll surprise yourself!!!! B2-adrenergic agonist? Anticholinergics? MastCell stabilizers? Corticosteroids? Luekotriene receptor antagonist?
B2-adrenergic agonist?
–directly relax smooth muscle of airway
Anticholinergics?
—- antimuscarinic bronchodilating effects in bronchial smooth muscle and blocking constriction of vagal efferent stimulation
MastCell stabilizers?
—- prevention and reduction of inflammation
Corticosteroids?
—- anti-inflammatory
Luekotriene receptor antagonist?
—- inhibits leukotriene production (part or thr arachidonic acid pathway)
GA implications with ASTHMA::
- GA may trigger asthma exacerbation
- alteration of diaphragmatic function
- impaired ability to cough
- decreased mucociliary function
- stimulation/irritation of airway by ETT
_______ and _______ of the most recent asthma attacks are the most significant predictors of bronchospasms!
proximity and severity
Changes in lung function can also leas to ______, _____ ______, and ________ postoperatively
atelectasis
mucus plugging
wheezing
Asthma exacerbation intra-op can also lead to what?
prolonged intubation
hypoxemia
pneumonia
Recent studies have found NO links between higher risks postop complications and pts with asthma? true or false
true
from a study!!!!
pt’s with asthma who are well controlled and who have a peak flow measurement of > __% of predicted or personal best can proceed to surgery at average risk!!
80
preop assessment for asthma
inspection auscultation questions -age of onset -triggering events -allergies -cough sputum characteristics Current meds (and effectiveness) smoking HX Anesthetic HX -asthma related complications Hospitalizations for asthma -freq of ER visits -Hx of intubation and mechanical ventilation
Preop management and interventions for the asthmatic
Chest PT
antibiotic therapy
Bronchodilator therapy (continue day of SX)
corticosteroids (stress dose if indicated)
—-stress dose hydrocortisone 100mg IV
Asthma classifications Intermittent asthma- Mild persistent asthma- mod persistent asthma- severe persistent asthma-
really way to much for a slide!!!! see ppt slide 23 if you want
Intraop management for asthma
- regional if not contraindicated
- Avoid non-selective BB (propranolol and Labetalol)
- Avoid NSAIDs (toradol)
- Avoid histamine releasing drugs ( morphine, atricurium, suxs, mivacurium, demerol, thiopental)
Intraop agents (tell me their effects) propofol- Ketamine- Lidocaine- VAAs-
propofol- bronchodilator
Ketamine- smooth muscle relaxant and decreased airway resistance
Lidocaine-supress airway reflexes (inhaled can assist)
VAAs- all are potent bronchodilators (sevo least irritating)
Extubation for Asthma-
deep- controversal
bronchodilator- albuterol
IV lidocaine
S/S of bronchospasm
- high inflation pressures
- expiratory upsloping on ETCO2
- prolonged expiration
- decreased O2 sat
- expiratory wheezing
- decreased breath sounds
