most commonly used first line agents for volume overloaded patients
bumetadine, furosemide, torsemide
2 units of PRBCs increases Hgb by
25% AND WILL ALSO INCREASE THE CALCULATED O2 delivery by 25%
general recommendations for blood in trauma victims
adult trauma victims unresponsive to intial volume expansion with 2L recieve transfusion
Patients with CHF or CAD should be transfused with the goal of keeping hematocrit above
hematocrit above 30%
blood therapy has not been shown to
improve survival, decrease duration of mechanical ventalation or decrease the need for pressors
the primary role of norepi is
in the treatment of septic shock with hypotension attributable to low SVR because it is a predominant alpha-agonist but does have nonselective b activity
Dopamine has been recommended as the agent of choice in
cardiogenic shock patients and patients with SBP between 70-90 it activates B-receptors at moderate dose range (3-*mcg/kg/min) and both a and b receptors above 8mcg/kg/min
the use of epinephrine is limited to what
because it is a potent alpha and beta agonist roughly 500 times more potent than dopamine and dobutamine, arrhythmogenic its use is limited to cardiac arrest, refractory life threatening bradycardia and anaphylactic shock
the use of this drug is limited only to failure of electrical cardiac patient
Isoproterenol
may be additive in effect to dobutamine
amrinone and milrinone the phsophodiesterase inhibiter
activates beta receptors throuhgout its dose range and is a more potent cardiac stimulant than dopamine
dobutamine
use of a nonrebreather can provide FiO2 within a range of
.6-.8

while a venturi can provide .28-.5
all patients who are placed on invasive ventilation should initially recieve
FiO2 of 1.O because the switch from spontaneous breathing to to assisted ventilation causes unpredictable alterations in pulmonary blood flow and ventilation-perfusion mismatch
most authors recommend starting PEEP
at3-5cmH2O
start peep at 3-5cm H2O and thereafter PEEP is incrementally increased
by 2-3cmH2O allowing 15-30 minutes after each increase for alveolar recruitment this is increased until SaO2 reaches 88-90 further increases in peep may then be required to limit FiO2 to O.6
consequences of peep
increases intrathoracic pressure as this increases a critical point is reached when venous return to the heart is compromised due to increased intrathoracic pressure impairing cardiac output
how to manage a bradycardic patient without a pulse
CPR with alternating doses of epi and atropine while preparing initial electrical pacing
basic principles of electrical pacing
initial HR set to 80 - 100 BPM in the pulsless patient the output is set at the maximum in contrast to the output set at the minimum in the patient with a pulse in both scenarios the output should be set at 10-20% above the threshold capture
what are the causes of failure to capture electrical pacing
hypothermia, hypoglycemia, hypoxemia, acidosis and electrolyte disturbances
hypovolemic

the use of O2 delivery devices are required to maintain at least 90% saturation if
not while delivering 100 percetns then intubation must ensue
goal MAP in shock is
70 - 80mmhg
preload is essentially
left ventricular end-diastolic wall tension
MAP is proportional to what product
SVR and CO therefroe SVR is one of the main determinants of afterload
suggested cardiac parameters for the diagnosis of cardiogenic shock are
CI less than 1.8

SBP less than 80

and PAOP greater than 18

addition of a cardiotonic vasopressor is required
Intra Aortic Baloon pump should be considered in patients who do not respond to pressor s in cardiogenic shock
Intra Aortic Baloon pump should be considered in patients who do not respond to pressor s in cardiogenic shock
vasoactive agent of choice in sepsis
norepi initally SVR is elevated but then decreases
most sensible agent for neurogenic shock
norepi or neosynephrine
