Under weight

11

preferably Euthyroid, antithyroid drugs and beta blockers continue through day of surgery. NO NMB R/T inability to assess the RLN. Treat Hypotension with Neo, not ephedrine, it releases catacholamines.

23
Q

Anesthetic Implications intr-op

A

Avoid SNS stimulating drugs: ketamine, panc, ephedrine
usually vasodilated and chronically hypovolemic producing sever hypotension during induction

29
Q

Phenochromocytoma

A

tumor of the chromaffin cells secreting maninly norepi, some epi and dopaimine

A

80% in the adrenal medulla 20% external

31

Phenochromocytoma S/S

A

Cardinal signs: HA, HTN, sweating and tachycardia,

Acute onset: pulmonary edema, MI CVA

32
Q

Phenochromocytoma Pre-op

A

Phenoxybenzamine the most common prescribed alpha blocker OR may use Metyrosine

33
Q

Phenochromocytoma

A

NEVER Beta block before alpha blocking R/T the unopposed alpha leads to Vasoconstriction and HTN Crisis. Most common Beta blocker propranolol used

34
Q

alpha blockade stopped when

A

24-48 hrs before surgery

35
Q

Surgery parameters

A
NO BP > 160/90
NO BP < 80/45 when standing
NO ST changes
NO S/S of excessive catacholamines, no more then 1 PVC q 5 min.
GOAL HR 60-80
36
Q

Intra-op

A

Nipride to lower BP R/T vasodillatory effect speed of onset and short durration
Magnesuim to block catacholamines
betablock w esmolol or labetalol
nicardipine most common CCB used

37
Q

adrenal insuffiency

A

Addison’s disease, septicemia, autoimmune disorders

38
Q

adrenal insuffiency

A

Assoc. w glucocorticoid and mineralcorticoid deficiency

39
Q

adrenal insuffiency Anesthetic considerations
