Ketamine

Which induction agent increases BP?

Ketamine

Which induction agent increases HR?

Thiopental, ketamine and sometimes etomidate

Ephedrine

B1>a1 effects, also releases NE


Increases HR, BP, SVR

Dopamine

Dose dependent effects


-renal dose is small


-medium mostly beta, increased contractility


-high mostly alpha, increases BP/pulse

Norepinephrine

A and B effects (a>B)

Epinephrine

A and B effects, more increased contractility and heart rate, modest increase in BP


-effects metabolism resulting in hyperglycemia

Nitroglycerin

Venodilation>arteriolar dilation


-reduces myocardial oxygen consumption

Nitroprusside

More arterial dilation than nitroglycerine

Labetalol

Selective a1 and nonselective B receptor antagonist


-decreases BP and HR

Esmolol

Selective B1 antagonist


-decrease HR with some decrease in BP

Calculate allowable blood loss

(original Hgb - 7)/original hgb x (70mL/kg x weight)

How to treat post-dural puncture headache

Hydration and caffeine


-or tramadol


-or blood patch (injection of blood into the back)

Signs of local anesthetic toxicity

Perioral numbness, metallic taste, tinnitus, seizure (at very high doses)

Tx of local anesthetic toxicity

Lidocaine: short acting, support for 15 minutes until it passes


Bupivicaine: much longer reaction - tx is FAT EMULSION

5 reasons to add EPI to local anesthetic

1. prolongs action of local anesthetic


2. blunts systemic uptake and limits systemic toxicity


3. decreases bleeding at injection site


4. marker of intravascular injection (increased HR)


5. Improves quality of spinal blockade via alpha receptors

Dexmetomidine

alpha2 agonist (reduces adrenergic activity)


-sedative and analgesic


-strong bradycardia, hypotension and hypothermia seen


-only given in slow infusion


-very long halflife


-no respiratory depression

Differences between peds and adult airway

Floppy epiglottis (use straight blade)


Larynx higher in neck (laryngoscopy looks relatively anterior)


Cricoid cartilage is narrowest point of airway (unlike adult in which vocal folds are smallest)

NPO deficit

Hours NPO x hourly maintenance rate


-give half in an hour, then a quarter the next hour and a quarter the next hour, in addition to maintenance!

How long do you keep infants after surgery?

Term


-44 week post-conceptual: need 24 hour stay




Preterm: need 24 hour stay up to 55 weeks PCA

Important history for a child

Medical history


Medications


Allergies


Recent URI?

NPO guidelines

clear liquids: 2 hrs


Breast milk: 4 hrs


Formula, cows milk, light meal: 6 hrs


Solids: 8 hrs

4 anatomic airway differences in kids

-Proportionally larger head (occiput and tongue)


-More anterior and cephalad larynx


-Long, floppy, omega-shaped epiglottis


-Short trachea and neck



Rapid sequence intubation steps

Preoxygenate


Apply cricoid pressure


Give fast acting anesthetic and analgesic


Intubate


Confirm w/capnography
