2. PBLD #8Aortic Stenosis andNeuraxial Anesthesia
3. Clinical Case 78 year old woman with known aortic valvular stenosis requires hemiarthroplasty of left hip for avascular necrosis
Mild dementia
Mild chronic renal insufficiency (CrCl <50 ml/min)
Preoperative echocardiogram shows
Calcified aortic valve
Peak gradient 60 mm Hg
Valve area 0.5 cm2
Severe concentric left ventricular hypertrophy (septum is 1.5 cm thick)
4. What are the indications for aortic valve replacement in patients with aortic stenosis?
5. Indications for AVR inPatients with AS Symptoms
Angina
Dyspnea
Arrhythmias
Gradient increasing and >50 mmHg
Moderate AS in patient requiring other cardiac surgery (e.g. CAB or MVR)
6. What are the Anesthetic Goals for a Patient Undergoing AVR?
7. Anesthetic Goals for a Patient Undergoing AVR Avoid hypotension
Critical importance of coronary perfusion perfusion pressure
Potential for difficult resuscitation
Avoid tachycardia
Lack of awareness, analgesia, immobility, etc.
8. What Would be Appropriate Monitoring During Anesthesia for AVR in a Patient with AS?
9. Appropriate Monitoring During Anesthesia for AVR in a Patient with AS Arterial line before induction
Large bore intravenous line
Vasopressor infusion ready for use (some will initiate the infusion before induction)
Central line vs. PA line
TEE
10. What would be the benefits of regional anesthesia in this patient?
11. Benefits of regional anesthesia in this patient Simple anesthetic
Reduced postoperative delirium
Potential for:
Reduced bleeding
Reduced DVT
Reduced pulmonary emboli
Better outcome
12. Reduction of morbidity and mortality with epidural or spinal anesthesia: meta analysis 141 trials, n=9559
Neuraxial block significantly reduced risk of death (0.7), DVT (0.56), PE (0.45), pneumonia (0.61), incidence of transfusion of 2 or more units (0.5)
13. What would be the benefits of general anesthesia in this patient?
14. Benefits of general anesthesia in this patient Control of airway
No need for sedation of demented patient
Can (theoretically) avoid vasodilating anesthetic drugs
Can perform intraoperative TEE to reassess valve and ventricular filling/function
No need to explain to fellow anesthesiologists why you chose regional
15. What are the cardiovascular effects of spinal and epidural anesthesia?
16. Cardiovascular physiology of spinal anesthesia Sympathetic nervous system
Age effects
Venous pooling
Reduced peripheral resistance
Indirect myocardial effect = bradycardia
Treatment of hypotension
17. Age effects on systolic blood pressure
18. Lidocaine spinal causes blood pooling in abdomen and legs
19. Spinal anesthesia increases venous pooling and reduces arterial resistance during canine cardiopulmonary bypass Total spinal anesthesia with 20 mg tetracaine in cisterna magna
Cardiac output (CPB flow) held constant
Volume of CPB venous reservoir declines 5.6 ? 0.9 ml/kg (venous pooling)
Mean arterial pressure declines 31 ? 5% (reduced systemic vascular resistance)
20. Bradycardia and hypotension complications after SPA In non-OB pts, risk of hypotension 33%; bradycardia 13%
Odds ratios for hypotension: >T5: 3.8, >40 yrs old: 2.5, baseline SAP <120 mm Hg: 2.4, LP above L3-4: 1.8
ORs for bradycardia: ?ARBs: 2.9 , >T5: 1.7, baseline HR <60: 4.9, prolonged PR: 3.2
21. Failure to prevent SPA hypotension: crystalloid (n=29), colloid (n=28), or no prehydration (n=28)
22. ?-, but not ?-adrenergic agonists reverse venous pooling during spinal anesthesia
Butterworth. Anesth Analg 1986;65:612-6
23. Epinephrine preferable to phenylephrine for hypotension after hyperbaric tetracaine spinal anesthesia 14 patients: 10 mg hyperbaric tetracaine
Transthoracic echo estimation of SV
Treatment when SAP decreased 15%
Epi (4 g + 50 ng/kg/min) & Phenyl (40 g + 0.5 g/kg/min), randomized, double-blind, cross-over design
Epi increases stroke volume and maintains HR; Phenyl decreases HR
26. Effects of epidural anesthesia on the cardiovascular system Sympathetic block
Venous pooling = ?apparent blood volume
?Peripheral resistance
Effects of epinephrine in LA solutions
Dermatomal level of anesthesia determines hemodynamic effects
Differing hemodynamic effects of thoracic vs. lumbar epidural anesthesia
27. Pooling of blood in legs after lumbar epidural anesthesia
28. Effect of level of epidural anesthesia on CV responses Volunteers (n=10) received 2% lido LEA (11-20 mg/kg) to produce increasing dermatomal levels of anesthesia
Increased arm blood flow (cervical sympathectomy) only when block >T2
29. TEA vs LEA CV effects
30. Do either the baricity or the specific the local anesthetic make a difference during spinal anesthesia?
31. Choices in spinal anesthesia Needle size and style
Puncture site
Local anesthetic species and dose
Baricity of local anesthetic solution
Patient position after injection
Additives (opioids, vasoconstrictors, clonidine, neostigmine)
Continuous spinal or combined spinal-epidural
32. Local anesthetic choices for spinal anesthesia Hyperbaric solutions
Procaine 5% (<45 min)
Lidocaine 1.5-5% (<1 h)
Tetracaine 0.5% (<3 h)
Tetracaine 0.5% + epi (<4 h)
Bupivacaine 0.75% (<3 h)
Isobaric solutions
Bupivacaine 0.5% (<3 h)
Lidocaine 2% (<2 h)
Tetracaine 0.5% (<3 h)
Meperidine 2.5% (<2 h)
Mepivacaine 1-2%
Hypobaric solutions
Tetracaine 0.1-0.2% (<3 h)
Bupivacaine 0.5% + fentanyl 20 g
33. Local anesthetic baricity and spinal anesthesia Hyperbaric solutions
Density > CSF
Flows to dependent sites
Sitting?Saddle block
Supine?thoracic level
Isobaric solutions
Density ? CSF
No effect of position
Long duration
Hypobaric solutions
Density < CSF
Flows from dependent sites
Sitting ? ?total spinal
Supine ? inconsistent spread
Jack-knife (Buie) ?sacral block
Lateral ? block of superior side
35. Effects of local anesthetic dose on spinal anesthesia Dose of hyperbaric LA has almost no influence on dermatomal spread, even in pregnancy (tetracaine 10 or 15 mg blocks comparable dermatomes)
?dose = ?onset, ?duration, and ?"quality" of block (hyperbaric, hypobaric, and isobaric)
36. Combined spinal-epidural (CSE) Rapidly increasing popularity
Advantages: rapid onset, ability to titrate or prolong block, ?spinal drug dosage
Disadvantages: catheter migration, ?reliability of test dosing, ?failure rate (?)
Needle through needle vs double segment
Useful for:
OB analgesia
Ambulatory anesthesia
Postop pain management after spinal anesthetic
37. Continuous spinal anesthesia Analogous to continuous epidural anesthesia
Permits long duration spinal anesthesia
No special safety problems provided that there is free flow of CSF through catheter and the catheter tip is not misplaced in a root sleeve
Requirement for larger needle ?PDPH risk
27g catheters formerly available associated with neurological deficits (maldistribution or restricted distribution of 5% lidocaine?)
38. How case was managed Arterial line placed
CSE technique
Hyperbaric bupivacaine 5 mg + 20 g fentanyl
Lateral position
Phenylephrine drip
Patient now in PACU, will you start PCEA infusion with bupivacaine-morphine?
39. How case was managed You have got to be kidding!
