Anaesthesia and the perioperative management of hepatic resectionDhritiman Chakrabarti
The document discusses liver anatomy, regeneration, and indications for liver resection surgery. It covers preoperative assessment of patient risk factors, anesthesia techniques used, and postoperative considerations. Liver resection is used to remove tumors, cysts, or following trauma. Patient comorbidities, liver function, and extent of resection impact risks. Anesthesia aims to maintain low central venous pressure through techniques like epidural analgesia.
The document discusses renal transplantation, including indications, donor criteria, preoperative workup, surgical procedure, anesthesia management, and postoperative care. Key points include: renal transplantation is indicated for end stage renal disease; donor criteria include age 5-49 years and good renal function; extensive preoperative testing is required; surgery involves vascular anastomoses of donor kidney; anesthesia goals include hemodynamic stability and adequate analgesia/relaxation; and postoperative monitoring focuses on graft function and complications like rejection.
Ropivacaine is a long-acting local anesthetic similar to bupivacaine but with less cardiotoxicity due to its stereospecificity as a pure S-enantiomer. Studies have shown ropivacaine to have approximately half the potency of bupivacaine in depressing the heart while providing comparable surgical anesthesia. Ropivacaine may be better suited than bupivacaine for epidural analgesia due to its ability to differentiate sensory and motor block at low concentrations and its toxicity not increasing in pregnancy.
Cardiac output can be measured through various invasive and non-invasive methods. The pulmonary artery catheter using thermodilution is still considered the gold standard but is invasive. Minimally invasive methods include lithium dilution, pulse contour analysis devices, esophageal Doppler, and transesophageal echocardiography. Non-invasive methods include partial gas rebreathing, thoracic bioimpedance, and Doppler ultrasound. The ideal monitor is accurate, continuous, non-invasive and provides reliable measurements during different physiological states.
This document discusses the management of renal transplant patients. It provides a brief history of transplantation, beginning with early attempts in ancient times. Key developments include the first successful kidney transplant between identical twins in 1954. It describes treatment options for end-stage renal disease including dialysis and transplantation. Living donor transplantation is preferred due to improved outcomes and shorter wait times. Post-transplant care involves monitoring for surgical complications, medical issues like infection and rejection, and frequent follow-up visits in the first year.
The document provides guidelines from the American Society of Regional Anesthesia (ASRA) on placing and removing epidural catheters in patients taking anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs. It lists recommended minimum times to wait after the last dose of various medications before catheter placement and removal, as well as when to restart anticoagulation therapy after removal. The medications are grouped into heparins, low molecular weight heparins, factor Xa and direct thrombin inhibitors, antiplatelet agents, fibrinolytics, and glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors. For each group, it provides the drug names and recommended waiting times.
The document provides an overview of the history and developments in liver transplantation. Some key points include:
- The first liver transplant was performed experimentally in dogs in 1955 and the first human liver transplant was in 1963 pioneered by Dr. Starzl.
- Survival rates improved from less than 50% at 1 year in the 1960s-1970s to over 90% at 1 year and 70% at 10 years in the 1990s due to advances like cyclosporine in 1980s.
- Indications for liver transplantation include chronic liver failure, acute liver failure, primary liver cancer, and inherited metabolic diseases. Selection criteria consider factors like liver disease severity, quality of life, and post-transplant survival probability
Dialysis without anticoagulation (Heparin Free Dialysis)Mahmoud Eid
This document discusses techniques for performing dialysis without anticoagulation. It describes indications for heparin-free dialysis such as recent surgery or bleeding risks. Techniques mentioned include regional citrate anticoagulation, saline flushes, heparin-coated membranes, and citrasate dialysate. Signs of clotting and scoring systems are provided. Tips for priming, high blood flows, and alternatives to heparin locking are also outlined. The key recommendations are to prime properly, have no rushing, follow a written protocol, and focus on patient safety above all else.
The document discusses the pulmonary artery catheter, including its history, parts, specifications, insertion technique, measurements, complications, and indications. Some key points:
- The pulmonary artery catheter was introduced in the 1970s and can measure pressures in the right atrium, right ventricle, pulmonary artery, and pulmonary capillary wedge.
- It has multiple ports and a balloon at the tip that can be inflated to obtain pulmonary capillary wedge pressure measurements.
- Measurements include pressures, cardiac output via thermodilution, and derived parameters like stroke volume, vascular resistances, and oxygen transport values.
- Complications can include arrhythmias, infection, or pulmonary artery damage. Indications include
cardiovascular remodeling and it's preventionDr.Subrata Das
This document discusses the role of drugs in preventing cardiovascular remodeling in heart failure patients. It defines heart failure and describes the pathophysiology involving neurohormonal activation. Drugs like ACE inhibitors, beta blockers, and digitalis are described as preventing remodeling by interfering with the renin-angiotensin system, blocking sympathetic stimulation, and having positive inotropic effects respectively. The conclusion is that preventing remodeling through these drugs improves symptoms, reduces hospitalization, and prolongs life for heart failure patients.
AIRWAY ASSESSMENT IN PAEDIATRICS PATIENTS-LARYNGOSCOPY, INTUBATIONZIKRULLAH MALLICK
This document provides guidance on airway assessment, laryngoscopy, and tracheal intubation in pediatric patients. It describes key differences in pediatric versus adult airway anatomy. Important predictors of a difficult airway include hypoplastic mandible, limited mouth opening, and congenital syndromes like Pierre Robin sequence. Proper preparation includes equipment check, positioning, and pre-oxygenation. Laryngoscopy technique aims to lift the epiglottis and expose the vocal cords for endotracheal intubation. Tube size is based on age or weight. Complications can be mechanical, respiratory, or cardiovascular in nature. Careful assessment and a tailored approach are needed due to the delicate nature of the pediatric air
1. Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) provides ventilatory support without airway invasion using techniques like nasal masks, helmets, and cuirass ventilation.
2. Common NIV modes include high flow nasal cannula, high velocity nasal insufflation, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), and bi-level positive airway pressure (BiPAP).
3. NIV is increasingly used in critical care to avoid intubation complications while still providing respiratory support and has been shown to decrease infection risks, length of stay, and mortality compared to invasive mechanical ventilation.
Anesthetic considerations for kidney transplant in an adult Eko indra
Kidney transplantation involves attaching a donor kidney to replace diseased kidneys. Survival is better after transplantation than dialysis. The first human kidney transplant was in 1933 in Ukraine but the recipient died after 48 hours. In Indonesia, the first transplant was in 1977. Risks include graft dysfunction, rejection, and technical complications like thrombosis. Anesthesia aims to prevent renal insults and maintain perfusion through fluid management and hemodynamics monitoring.
Guytonian approach to shock - mean systemic filling pressure centeredCosmin Balan
In a world of binary decision there remains little room for applied maths and physiology. Or maybe not...
Parkin's approach brings out a forgotten tool-the volume state. Although reductionistic as well as Guyton's entire view, it might be a better language for us, for clinicians and for all those lost in translation when they've stumbled across loose binary decisions such as SVV,PPV,SPV etc.
Mean systemic filling pressure has been resurrected.
Parkin, Maas, Pinsky and Geerts have come a long way from Versprille.
This document discusses drugs used during conventional renal dialysis and how they are affected by the dialysis process. It categorizes drugs based on whether dialysis enhances their plasma clearance by 30% or more and supplemental dosing may be required; whether dialysis does not have a clinically important effect on plasma clearance; drugs with no published data but significant removal is unlikely; drugs with no data but significant removal is likely; and drugs where the type of dialysis membrane was not specified. The document provides lists of drugs in each category.

En esta presentación encontrarán información detallada sobre cómo realizar correctamente la maniobra de Heimlich y también información sobre lo que es la asfixia.
La enfermedad de Wilson es un trastorno genético autosómico recesivo que impide la eliminación adecuada del cobre del cuerpo, causando su acumulación en órganos como el hígado y el cerebro. Esto provoca síntomas hepáticos (hepatitis, cirrosis), neurológicos (temblores, rigidez muscular) y psiquiátricos (depresión, cambios de comportamiento). Se diagnostica mediante análisis de sangre, orina, biopsia hepática y pruebas genéticas, y se trata con medicamentos quelantes de cobre, zinc, una dieta baja en cobre y, en casos graves, trasplante de hígado.
