2. Case # 1 60 y/o male patient presents to clinic for evaluation of a chronically leaky valve with 2 weeks of shortness of breath
Describes dyspnea on exertion, 3 pillow orthopnea, mild non-productive cough
Furosemide dose increased, echocardiogram obtained but 24 hours later patient reports worsening symptoms, symptoms with minimal activity
Clinic advises patient to present to ER for evaluation and likely admission
3. Past Medical History CAD; s/p MI in 1996 with PoBA of distal LCx, s/p MI in 1998 with LAD arthrectomy, s/p CABG in 2004 (LIMA to D2 and LAD, Left radial arterial graft to Ramus, SVG to PDA), s/p MI in 2008 with PCI x 2 to distal LCx
Severe MR, first noted on echo in 2010
A. fib s/p MAZE w CABG (2004)
A. flutter s/p DCCV (2010)
Cardiomyopathy 2o ischemia and tachycardia
CVA with seizures (2010)

5. Family/Social History Former tobacco user (20 pack year history), quit 12 years ago
Minimal EtOH use, heavy cannabis user presently

6. Initial Assessment BP 126/71, RR 14, HR 59 94% on 2L
Gen: Middle aged male in NAD
Neck: Supple, JVD to below the angle of the mandible
CVS: S1, S2, RRR, III/VI murmur at the apex
Chest: Right basilar crackles
Extremities: 1+ LE edema
Received 40mg IV Furosemide x 1 in the ER
7. Labs
9. Initial ECG
10. Initial Plan Diuresis with IV Furosemide
Review Echocardiogram
CT Surgery evaluation
Fluid restriction, monitor I/O, daily weights
Diagnostic LHC
Reverse INR with Vitamin K
11. Echocardiogram
12. Cardiac Cath LAD: High grade mid LAD disease and an 80% stenosis of the first diagonal branch.
LCx: CTO of distal Cx
Ramus: CTO
RCA: CTO
Grafts: SVG-Ramus & SVG-RCA patent. LIMA to LAD and LIMA to D2 patent
16. Surgery Intubated with double-lumen ET tube, required neb treatment immediately
Normal mitral leaflets w/o myxoma
Tethering of anterior and posterior leaflet chordae
Successful MVR with TEE confirmation of trace MR
Acute hypoxia when double lumen ET tube switched to single lumen with frothy sputum from ET tube
Constant foaming leg to bag ventilation, unable to be put back onto vent ~ 300cc of foam
BP dropped, put on Epinephrine, Levophed w/o improvement
Asystole, no shockable rhythm
30. POPE (Post Obstructive Pulmonary Edema) First noted in 1927 in dogs, AKA negative pressure pulmonary edema
Life-threatening, immediate onset pulmonary edema after airway obstruction
Type I (more common): Forceful inspiratory effort in the context of an acute obstruction; Type 2: After relief of a chronic obstruction
Forceful inspiration ? Increase in venous return and flow to right heart + decrease flow to the left heart ? Increased PV pressure ? Increased hydrostatic pressure and edema formation
31. In a study of ~ 900 patients 100% of patients with unilateral pulmonary edema (UPE) had severe MR (p<0.0001)
Treatment: Maintain airway, PEEP, 100% FiO2, diuretics controversial as they can cause hypovolemia and hypoperfusion POPE (Post Obstructive Pulmonary Edema)
