What is the grading system for MR?
|
1+: jet extends immediately behind the valve; 2+: if the jet extends up to 1/3 the length of the atrium; 3+ if the jet extends up to 2/3 the length of the atrium; 4+ if it extends more than 2/3s into the atrium
|
|
What are anesthesia goals with MR?
|
faster HR, decreased SVR, maintain contractility and volume
|
|
What is the typical MR murmur?
|
holosystolic murmur best heard over the LLSB
|
|
What is the typical AI murmur?
|
decresendo diastolic murmur
|
|
What is the differential diagnosis of a pansystolic murmur?
|
AI, IHSS, VSD
|
|
What is the typical mitral valve prolapse heart sound?
|
high pitched systolic murmur best heard at the apex
|
|
What are the anesthetic management goals for MVP?
|
avoiding events which increase cardiac emptying; increases in HR and decreases in SVR must be avoided
|
|
What are complications of MR?
|
infective endocarditis, rheumatic myocarditis, systemic emboli, CAD, sudden death due to dysrhythmias
|
|
What are characteristics of acute MR?
|
no enlargement of LA or LV, left ventricular end diastolic and LAP are higher, rhythm is usually sinus
|
|
What are characteristics of chronic MR?
|
LA and LV are typically enlarged, pressure are higher than normal but not as high as in acute MR, frequently associated with afib
|
|
What are the benefits of digitalis in MR?
|
decreases size of LV and lessens regurg, also helps with afib
|
|
What are the benefits of diuretics in MR?
|
decrease preload and thereby lessen pulmonary edema
|
|
What is the best volatile anesthetic in the setting of MR?
|
isoflurane: decreases SVR and increases HR
|
|
How does MR affect the PA tracing?
|
characteristic V wave
|
|
What is the effect of AI on coronary perfusion?
|
aortic runoff decreases diastolic blood pressure and coronary perfusion pressure leading to ischemia and failure
