Thoracic/Respiratory/Monitoring Test 5 Flashcards
(185 cards)
factors that increase PPC
- preop FEV1 < 2L or < 40% of predicted (greatest risk )
- inability to climb flight of stairs
- desaturation > 4% with exercise
cushings s/s listed on PP
metabolic alkalosis
hypokalemia
hyperglycemia
10 - 25% of tumors secrete this hormone what are Sx
PTH * inc Calcium*
confusion, vomiting, bradycardia, polyuria, abd cramps, neuro changes
COPD findings on Xray
hyperinflation Inc A-P diameter
diaphragm flattening
prominent PA (PHTN)
wide right side border (PHTN)
ECG signs of RV hypertrophy secondary to pulmonary HTN
V1 - tall R wave
Lead I RAD
biphasic P wave (RVH causes R atrial hypertrophy)
ECHO changes in RVH
RV wall thickness
chamber enlargement
septal shift
tricuspid regurgitation
increased PVR
albumin level at risk for PPC
< 3.6 G/dL
this (cardiac function/measurements related) is associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation and greater lung injuries
high filling pressure
(heart)
PAC indication
high severity in any of these
CV
valvular disease
PHTN
consequences if you dont support head while patient is in lateral position
lateral flexion of neck
leads to
compression of jugular veins and vertebral arteries
compromises cerebral circulation
pleural pressure increases by ___ cm H2O per ___ cm of lung dependency
pleural pressure increases by 0.25 cm H2O per 1 cm of lung dependency
this determines flow of blood in Zone 2
arterial - Alveolar pressure gradient
(this increases the further down the lung you go)
pressure gradient that determines blood flow in Zone 3
arterio-venous
(maintains constant blood flow in dependent portions of lungs)
in open chest, why does mediastinum fall
loss of negative intrapleural pressure (ITP) in NDL
diminishes effects of mediastinal shift
diminishes paradoxical respirations
(open chest anesthetized lateral)
PPV
absolute indications for OLA
one lung has to be isolated from the other
- to prevent contamination of healthy lung
- to control distribution of ventilation
- unilateral lung lavage
examples of absolute indications for OLA
deal with preventing contamination
to prevent
absess
hemorrhage
examples of absolute indications for OLA
dealing with controlling distribution of ventilation
to prevent
- bronchopleural fistula
- giant unilateral cyst of bullae (rupture w/ PPV!)
- bronchial disruption or trauma
relative indications for OLA
(generally speaking)
when surgical exposure is improved by deflating lung
relative indications for OLA
give examples of high priority cases
Pneumonectomy
Upper Lobectomy
Repair of Thoracic Aneurysm
Mediastinal exposure
Thoracoscopy
relative indications for OLA
give examples of low priority cases
- middle and lower lobectomy
- esophageal surgery
- T-spine procedures
One-lung ventilation can be accomplished with with use of what?
One-lung ventilation can be accomplished with:
single lumen ETT
double lumen endobronchial tube
use of bronchial blockers
disadvantage of single lumen tubes
inability to ventilate the operative lung if necessary
in right lung placement, upper lobe most usually occludes
left bronchial tubes CI in what conditions?
bronchial lesions
descending thoracic aortic aneurysm
