54 y/o female for left total hip arthroplasty M&M May 2005
Which statement about postoperative myocardial infarction (PMI) is MOST likely true? A. Most PMIs occur on the fifth postoperative day B. Most PMIs are Q-wave infarctions C. Thrombosis caused by plaque fissure is the main mechanism of PMI D. PMIs are frequently associated with prolonged postoperative silent ischemia ASA SEE Vol21A #86, 2005
The BEST strategy to reduce perioperative cardiac complications in a patient undergoing elective major vascular surgery within the next week is A. preoperative percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) B. use of a pulmonary artery catheter C. coronary artery bypass grafting D. perioperative beta-blocker therapy ASA SEE Vol21A #31, 2005
Which statement about diabetes mellitus and its perioperative management is MOST likely true • About 10% of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus do not • know that they are diabetic at the time or surgery. • B. Current recommendations prior to major surgery are to obtain a • stress test for diabetic patients who have one other risk factor • (smoking, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, family history of • coronary artery disease, or males 40 years of age). • C. In a 70 kg patient, one unit of regular insulin given intravenously • will lower the glucose by approximately 25-30 mg/dL. • D. Thiazolidinediones such as rosiglitazone (Avandia) or pioglitazone • (Actos) increase insulin production. ASA SEE Vol21A #87, 2005

Questions Are you sure I have coronary artery disease? Do we need to evaluate before my hip surgery? What is risk of hip surgery now? If CAD, would CABG first reduce my risk? Should I get a beta blocker now?

BETA-BLOCKERSUNKNOWN FACTORS What is the optimal dose? How frequent are complications? Who should receive therapy? Are all beta blockers effective? When should they be started? How long should they be used? Are Alpha-Blockers also effective?
Should beta blocker be added to lisinopril just before induction? Bertrand M. Should the Angiotensin II Antagonists be Discontinued Before Surgery? Anesthesia and Analgesia 92:26-30, 2001 “A severe hypotensive episode, requiring vasoconstrictor treatment, occurs after induction of general anesthesia in patients chronically treated with AIIA. Recommendations to discontinue AIIA drugs on the day before the surgery may be justified.” Comfere T et al. Angiotensin System Inhibitors in a General Surgical Population Anesth Analg 2005;100:636-644 In conclusion, discontinuation of ACEI/ARA therapy at least 10 h before anesthesia was associated with a reduced risk of immediate postinduction hypotension.

Answers Coronary artery disease? Uncertain, but probably yes Evaluate before or after hip surgery? After Risk of hip surgery? <5% CABG before or after hip surgery? After, if indicated Beta blockers? Maybe after induction if not hypotensive or bradycardic

Diagnosing Perioperative MI • Often without typical angina • 2/3 present with ST depression • CK-MB/Troponins • ECG/Troponin (high risk patients) • q 8 h first 24 hrs then • next 2 days
