| 1 |
True or False
Ischemia time is the time the aorta was cross clamped.
|
True
This is the time the heart is not being perfused or receiving any nutrients.
|
|
| 2 |
The ion needed for the power stroke is what?
|
Calcium
|
|
| 3 |
What is the difference between global and regional ischemia?
|
Global ischemia - systemic reduction in tissue perfusion all over the body
Regional...
|
|
| 4 |
What are the 3 phases of ischemia?
|
1) unprotected ischemia
2) protected ischemia
3) reperfusion ischemia
|
|
| 5 |
What are some causes of ischemia injury (when oxygen supply does not meet demand)?
|
- inadequate O2 delivery
- inadequate waste removal
|
|
| 6 |
True or False
Ischemia < 30 minutes = Myocardial Stunning and is reversible
Ischemia...
|
True
|
|
| 7 |
The most important ion in reperfusion is what ion?
|
Calcium
|
|
| 8 |
What causes the generation of oxygen free radicals?
|
During ischemic interval waste is built up - then when you unclamp and reperfuse, once the...
|
|
| 9 |
What is calcium paradox?
|
When you have ischemic tissue, Ca++ had the tendency to load into cells (creating a calcium...
|
|
| 10 |
During "flaccid depolarization" the excitability of muscle is what?
|
zero
|
|
| 11 |
What are some myocardial protection strategies?
|
1) elective asystole
2) elective ventricular fibrillation
3) intermittent aortic cross-clamping
4)...
|
|
| 12 |
ABGO measures ion concentration intracellularly or extracellularly?
|
extracellular
|
|
| 13 |
What are three disadvantages to intermittant aortic occlusion?
|
1) no cardioplegia delivery
2) forces surgeons to work fast
3) have to clamp aorta multiple...
|
|
| 14 |
True or False
Off-pump surgery is also known as beating heart surgery which allows...
|
True
|
|
| 15 |
When would we do elective ventricular fibrillation?
|
for calcified aortas
|
|
| 16 |
What is the surgical goal of myocardial protection?
|
To preserve and protect the heart during any cardiac procedure.
|
|
| 17 |
The cardiac muscle uses what percentage of O2 delivered to it?
|
70%
(Note: most organs use only 30%)
|
|
| 18 |
O2 Consumption
Normal - ?
Empty Beating Heart - ?
Arrested - ?
Arrested and Cooled - ?
|
O2 Consumption
Normal - 8.0 cc O2/100g/min at 37 degrees celcius
Empty Beating Heart - 5.6...
|
|
| 19 |
Anaerobic metabolism which takes place during ischemic periods results in what?
|
1) only 2 moles of ATP (compared to 36 during aerobic metabolism)
2) makes it difficult to...
|
|
| 20 |
How is the heart protected during CPB and while the cross clamp is on?
|
By "protected ischemia"
The heart is protected during this period by:
- electromechanical...
