24
Q

How to manage ICP

A

Eval ABCs and etiology: avoid hypoxia and hypercarbia

Increase venous drainage

elevate head 15-20 degrees if hemodynamically

ensure no venous obstruction (esp if C collar in place)

diureticsadmin mannitol: (reduces ICP by osmotically shifting fluid from brain to intravascular space, decrease production CSF, induce reflex cerebral vasoconstriction 2/2 decreasing blood viscosity(lasts 6 hr)

risktransient increase intravascular volume can increase BP & decrease ICP (increase transmural pressure): hazard to unrupture aneurysm, AVM, expanding hematoma (mod elevated ICP can serve to tamponade the lesions

elderly: rapid diuresis shrink brain and tear bridging veinssubdural hematoma

increase vascular volume poorly tolerated by HF

cerebal edema if BBB not intact

furosemide

keep in mind that in presence of hypovolemia this an lead to hypotension and worsen cerebral ischemia

hypertonic saline

admin barbiturate/propofol (reduced ICP 2/2 cerebral vasoconstriction) and CMR02

risk of hypotension when admin large doses for cerebral protection

hyperventilation to PaC02 25-30 if other methods unsuccessful and ICP elevation was so severe that there was risk of brain stem herniation

too much cerebral vasoconstriction can leadto cerebral injury

effects temporary (6-12 hrs) since Hc02 levels in CSF are adjusted for the change in PaC02

between Pac02 20-80 CBF changes 1ml/100g per 1mmHg change PaC02

If ICP severe requires immediate tx: intraventricular drainremove CSF (no more than 5cc/min).

Too much can cause brainstem herniationHTN/hypotension/bradycardia/tacycardia

if lumbar catheter can cause herniation if obstructive hydrocephalus (obstruction proximal to superior sagittal sinus

steroids if brain tumor for vasogenic edema, decrease CSF production?

if at risk for seizures implement seizure ppx to avoid increases CMR02

Indications for iCD

PPM

A
  • secondary prevention VF VT
  • primary prevention: MI and EF<30, HF class 2-3 w/ EF <35 (intraven conduction delay 120ms cardiac resyn), congenital long QT syndrome, brugada, HCM
  • Sinus node desyfunction, AV block

Q

lung ca considerations

A

Signs mass effect

Obstructive PNA

SVC syndrome

Pancoast tumor

tracheal bronchial distortion- mass induced VQ mismatch

mass compression of heart and great vessels

Tumor invasion

Hemoptysis, blood stained sputum

Cancer related meds

Bleomycin (interstitial pneumonitis, pulm fibrosis)

Cisplatin: peripheral neuropathy, renal failure

Paraneoplastic syndrome

Lambert Eaton

SIADH-hyponatremia vs loop diuretic), decreased serum osm,

Cushing syndrome-Ectopic ACTH, hypokalemia, HTN, psychosis

Parathyroid releasing hormone-hypercalemia-N/V, renal failure, weakness, arrhythmia

49
Q

hypoxia during OLV

A

100% oxygen

Ensure adequate placement by capnography, listening to chest, fiberoptic scope for direct visualization

Check BP to ensure adequate perfusion

RL shunt from collapsed lung

Recruitment breaths

CPAP 10 Cm H20 to nondependent lung if surgically acceptable

PEEP 5-10 cm H20 to ventilated lung ( in healthy lungs this way result in pressure induced shunting blood to nondependent lung)

Reinflate non dependent lung

Discuss with surgeon about ligating pulm artery to elim shunt

Encourage hypoxic vasoconstriction (remove agents that may blunt this)-volatile, systemic vasodilators, hypocapnia (inhibit HPV nondependent lung and increased vascular resistance in dependent lung
