25
situations when a bronchial blocker should be used over a DLT
age < 8 yrs requires nasotracheal intubation has a trach
26
advantage of bronchial blocker
patient wont have to be reintubated with single lumen if postop ventilation required
27
downsides of bronchial blockers
operative lung slow to collapse high-pressure balloon can slip into trachea
28
top 2 complications of mediastinoscopy
#1 - hemorrhage #2 - PTX (usually on right)
29
absolute contraindication to mediastinoscopy
previous mediastinoscopy
30
relative contraindications to mediastinoscopy
tracheal deviation thoracic aortic aneurysm SVC obstruction
31
vital structures at risk for injury during mediastinoscopy
thoracic aorta innominate artery vena cava trachea thoracic duct phrenic and RLN
32
consequence of brachiocephalic (innominate) artery compression during mediastinoscopy
decreased carotid and cerebral blood flow (compromised circulation to right side of circle of Willis)
33
where should monitors be placed for mediastinoscopy
pulse ox or art line on RUE (monitors brachiocephalic artery compression) NIBP on LUE
34
vascular anatomy between heart and brain
brachiocephalic artery - R common carotid - R internal carotid - R cerebral circulation at circle of Willis
35
why can brachiocephalic artery compression during mediastinoscopy be detrimental to patients with cerebrovascular disease
compromises circualtion to the right side of the circle of willis pts with cerebrovascular disease have compromised communication between L/R side of cerebral circulation
36
why can brachiocephalic artery compression during mediastinoscopy be detrimental to patients with cerebrovascular disease
compromises circulation to the right side of the circle of Willis pts with cerebrovascular disease have compromised communication between L/R side of cerebral circulation
37
why might a lower extremity IV be placed in a patient undergoing mediastinoscopy
if bleeding occurs, fluids & blood given in upper extremity will pass through vascular injury and enter mediastinum
38
indications for tracheal resection
tracheal stenosis tracheomalacia tumor vascular lesions congenital malformations
39
intraop ventilation options during tracheal resection
standard ETT jet ventilation ECMO
40
ETT placement for patient undergoing resection of upper tracheal lesion with standard ETT
ETT advanced distally before surgeon opens trachea alternatively, 2nd ETT can be placed in distal trachea after trachea opened
41
ETT management in pt undergoing resection of lower tracheal lesion
- place ETT in trachea above lesion - surgeon opens trachea - 2nd ETT placed in L main bronchus and used for ventilation - surgeon sutures posterior tracheal anastomosis - 2nd ETT removed, original ETT advanced past anastomosis and into left bronchus
42
monitor placement during tracheal resection
same as mediastinoscopy pulse ox/art line RUE NIBP LUE
43
why is tetraplegia a complication of tracheal resection
neck must remain flexed for several days postop to reduce tension on anastomosis
44
best choice if pt needs to be re-intubated postop after tracheal resection
flexible fiberoptic bronch
45
4 categories in Berlin definition of ARDS
time of onset imaging edema origin disease severity
46
ARDS onset per Berlin criteria
within 1 week of initial insult or new/worsening resp symptoms
47
imaging in ARDS per Berlin criteria
CXR or CT: bilateral opacities not fully explained by effusions, lobar/lung collapse, or nodules
48
ARDS edema origin per Berlin criteria
resp failure NOT fully explained by cardiac failure or fluid overload if no risk factor present, patient needs objective assessment to exclude hydrostatic edema
49
Berlin criteria - mild ARDS
PaO2/FiO2 ratio < 201-300 mmHg with PEEP or CPAP 5+
50
Berlin criteria - moderate ARDS
PaO2/FiO2 ratio 101-200 mmHg with PEEP 5+
51
Berlin criteria - severe ARDS
PaO2/FiO2 ratio < 100 with PEEP 5+
52
most common etiologies of sepsis
most common pulmonary: pneumonia most common extra-pulmonary: sepsis
53
pulmonary causes of ARDS
pneumonia COVID aspiration smoke inhalation near drown
54
extra pulmonary causes of ARDS
sepsis TRALI TACO MTP trauma/shock burns CPB
55
patho of ARDS
platelet and neutrophil-mediated inflammatory injury that leads to diffuse alveolar destruction
56
4 key patho features of ARDS
1. protein rich pulmonary edema 2. loss of surfactant 3. hyaline membrane formation 4. possible long term lung injury
57
onset and duration of ARDS stage 1
onset 6-72 hours after initial insult duration ~7 days
58
stage 1 of ARDS
exudative stage triggers inflammatory cascade diffuse alveolar destruction
59
what causes impaired gas exchange in stage 1 of ARDS
- surfactant damage increases alveolar surface tension - alveolar collapse = decreased gas exchange
60
consequences of alveolar collapse in stage 1 ARDS
- damaged cells accumulate in airways (hyaline membranes) - decreased gas exchange
61
in which stage of ARDS are type 1 pneumocytes injured
stage 1 (exudative)
62
diagnostic findings in exudative stage of ARDS
- bilateral alveolar infiltrates on CXR - hypoxemia despite increased supplemental O2 - inceased A-a DO2 gradient - resp alkalosis in spontaneously breathing - pHTN with low/normal filling pressure
63
hallmark of exudative stage of ARDS
hypoxemia despite increased supplemental O2
64
duration of ARDS stage 2
7-21 days
65
which stage of ARDS is the proliferative stage
stage 2
66
how does the body attempt to repair itself during stage 2 of ARDS
- new pulmonary surfactant - new type 1 pneumocytes - tight junctions restored - alveolar fluid drained by lymphatics
67
stage 3 of ARDS
fibrotic stage extensive fibrotic changes cause irreversible changes to lung architecture
68
typical cause of mortality in ARDS
underlying complications - sepsis, organ failure
69
stage of ARDS assoc with irreversible PHTN
stage 3 (fibrotic stage) - caused by fibrosis of pulmonary vasculature
70
foundation of vent management in ARDS
low Vt PEEP
71
why is it important to use low Vt in ARDS
- some alveoli are very stiff and others have normal compliance - Vt will follow path of least resistance - alveolar overdistention of normal alveoli results in volutrauma/barotarauma
72
why is PEEP used in ARDS
- reduces atelectrauma caused by ventilating with low Vt by maintaining transpulmonary pressure above closing pressure - reduces volutrauma by increasing aerated functional volume of lung - allows to give lower FiO2 to achieve given PaO2 (dec risk O2 toxicity)
73
target PaO2/SpO2 in ARDS
PaO2 55-80 mmHg or SpO2 88-95% PEEP titrated with FiO2 to maintain
74
why is prone positioning utilized in ARDS
may improve V/Q matching, allowing higher PaO2 for given FiO2
75
why is conservative fluid management beneficial in ARDS
decreases hydrostatic pressure in pulmonary capillaries and supports oxygenation
76
use of steroids in ARDS
inconsistent effects may be harmful, especially if started > 14 days after onset
77
how does carboxyhemoglobin result in metabolic acidosis
decreased CaO2 and L shift in oxyhgb dissociation curve impair oxidative phosphorylation, reducing ATP production
78
causes of auto-PEEP/dynamic hyperinflation
increased Vm, bronchoconstriction, inflammation, airway collapse, secretions, obstructed ETT, fighting vent
79
what 2 variables are affected by dynamic hyperinflation
decreased inspiratory capacity increased FRC
