Most common papillary muscle that causes mitral regurgitation post MI? What blood supply?
Posteromedial pap
RCA
Symptoms of MH
Increase in ETCo2
Peak T waves
Lactic acidosis
Muscle rigidity
What’s the earliest you can restart px heparin after an uncomplicated epidural placement
Immediately
(Wait w placement or removal of catheter, immediately start after placement or removal)
What’s the most common complication of a celiac plexus block
Orthostatic hypotension and diarrhea
Reflexive movement as a response to surgical stimulus
(What level of anesthesia)
General
Safest flow meter arrangement
W oxygen closest to the patient/ most downstream
What would you expect pulse ox to read in someone w methemoglobinemia
85%
What cardiac anomaly is most common in carcinoid tumor?
Tricuspid regurgitation
Tricuspid stenosis (much less common)
Carcinoid triad
Wheezing
Flushing
Right heart dx
Volume compartments
Interstitial > intravascular
Intracellular = extracellular
Shunt fraction
Qs / Qt = (1n− SaO2) / (1 − SvO2), where Qs = pulmonary physiologic shunt, Qt = cardiac output, SaO2 = arterial oxygen saturation, and Sv02 = venous oxygen saturation
Alveolar oxygen equation
PaO2 = FiO2 × (Patm − PH2O)−(PaCO2 / R)
FiO2 = Fraction of inspired oxygen
Patm = atmospheric pressure = 760 mmHg
PH2O = partial pressure of water vapor = 47 mmHg
R = constant = 0.8
Who qualifies for early invasive cardiac strategies?
Worsening underlying heart disease
- recurrent angina or ischemia at rest
- elevated cardiac bio markers
- new ST depression
- new or worsening mitral regurgitation
- hemodynamic instability
- sustained tachy
- pci within 6 mos
- prior coronary artery bypass
- high risk TIMI score > 2
- reduced left ventricular function
What is appropriate management of epiglottitis in a pediatric patient
DL under deep GA
What are the benefits of smoking cessation and what is the optimal time for quitting?
Decrease carboxyhemoglobin levels
Increase in ciliary function
Decrease in sputum production
Decrease in stimulation of the cardiovascular system
8 weeks
*reduction in carboxyhemoglobin shifts the oxygen dissociation curve to the right = more oxygen unloading
What’s the order of invasive accretas
Accreta
Increta
Percreta
How does lidocaine cause fetal acidosis
Lidocaine crosses the placenta and accumulates to toxic levels due to ion trapping
What are the four factors that determine placental transfer of drugs
Size : <500 Da
Lipophilicity: lipophilic cross (fentanyl), high ionized do not
Protein binding
Maternal drug concentration
What drugs do not cross the placenta
Heparin
Insulin
Glycopyrrolate
Nondepolarizing muscle relaxants
Sux
He is going nowhere soon
Most common cause of adrenal insufficiency in pts w critical illness
Functional adrenal insufficiency : causing corticosteroid def, due to cellular dysfunction, peripheral glucocorticoid resistance, and impaired transport
What causes the acid base status w NS infusion
Metabolic acidosis due to decreased strong ion difference
SID= strong cations - strong anions
SID takes into account HCO3, albumin, phosphate, unmeasured ions
In pt w cirrhosis and BP what is the most common cause of ARF?
Type 1 HRS (acute renal failure from a precipitating event related to cirrhosis ; such as bacterial peritonitis)
Type 2 is an insidious onset of renal failure from portal htn caused by splanchnic vasodilation and activation of raas
What is the CAM-ICU assessment?
The CAM-ICU asks the following:
Is there an acute change in mental status or fluctuating course? (yes/no)
Is the patient inattentive or easily distracted? (yes/no)
Is there an altered level of consciousness or RASS other than zero? (yes/no)
Does the patient experience disorganized thinking? (yes/no)
Which drugs are unsafe agents to use in patients with MH?
- volatile anesthetics
- succinylcholine
