| What is the only clinical entity specifically related to and caused by anesthesia? | Malignant Hyperthermia
🗑
|
||||
| What is MH? | Inherited disorder of skeletal muscles triggered when exposed to inhaled anesthetics and sux. causes hypermetabolism, skeletal muscle damage and hyperthermia
🗑
|
||||
| What major electrolyte disturbance do you see with MH? | 8x increase in Ca2+. Calcium reuptake is blocked.
🗑
|
||||
| Is the heat production in MH central or peripheral in origin? | Peripheral because hypermetabolism is caused by the muscles not the hypothalamus.
🗑
|
||||
| What are the 2 Hallmarks of MH? | Increased HR and Increased CO2. (according to Marybeth HR is the earliest and most consistent sign)
🗑
|
||||
| What type is the Gene for MH? | Autosomal Dominant
🗑
|
||||
| Is MH more common in kids or Adults? | Kids. Kids are 1:15,000 and adults are 1:20,000-1:50,000
🗑
|
||||
| What function of MH actually leads to death? | Lethal cardiac dysrhythmias secondary to metabolic disorder.
🗑
|
||||
| Is hyperthermia a good indicator of MH? | NO, increased temp is a late and inconsistent sign. Very late sign!
🗑
|
||||
| What steps do you take for a pt with suspected MH? | 1. Stop sx and discontinue all trigger agents, Call for help and MH cart2. Hypervent with 100% @ high flow via clean source 3-4x normal volume3. Give Dantrolene
🗑
|
||||
| What is Dantrolene and what is the dosage? | It is a skeletal muscle relaxant2.5 mg/kg iv rapid IV push(total dose usually < 10mg/kg)
🗑
|
||||
| What do you give for lethal or refractory dysrhythmias? | Procainamide 1.5 mg/kg over 1 min Q5 min up to 15 mg/kg.
🗑
|
||||
| What do you NOT give a pt with MH | Calcium channel blockers
🗑
|
||||
| What are the anesthetic options for pts with the MH gene? | TIVA, Regional, Local + sedation.
🗑
|
||||
| What is MMR | Masseter muscle rigidity. The forceful jaw contraction after sux.
🗑
|
||||
| Is there a corelation between MMR and MH? | Yes, 50% of kids with MMR are MH susceptible.
🗑
|
||||
| What is neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS)? | muscle rigidity and hyperthermia after receiving antipsychotic medications or ALSO REGLAN OR HALDOL.
🗑
|
||||
| Is NMS central or peripheral in nature? | Central because it involves dopamine blockade in basal ganglia and hypothalamus.
🗑
|
||||
| How do you treat NMS? | Give Benzos and in extreme cases you can give dantrolene (despite the label warning)
🗑
|
||||
| Do NMS pts need to be treated as MH susceptible? | Yes
🗑
|
||||
| How do you treat hyperkalemia with MH? | Bicarb 1-2mg/kg even in absence of ABGhyperventilatediuresisdextrose(50cc) 10 units insulinHydrate
🗑
|
||||
| What is the best indicator of overall therapy progression in the treament of MH | Mixed venous blood gases
🗑
|
||||
| What is the minimum number of Dantrolene vials required any where anesthesia is being administered? | 36
🗑
|
||||
| What is the constitution of Dantrolene in sterile water? Is there anything else in the mixture? | 20mg vial with 60 ml of sterile water the solution has 3gm of Manitol
🗑
|
||||
| How long after the first episode can MH continue to relapse? | 24-36 hours (pt goes to ICU after OR)
🗑
|
||||
| What is Dantrolene mechanism of action? | Direct acting skeletal muscle relaxant. It works DIRECTLY on the muscle NOT on the neuro musculuar junction.
🗑
|
||||
| Who else other than MH people do you NOT give trigger agents to? | Duchene's muscular dystrophy or other forms of muscular dystrophy.
🗑
|
||||
| What is the gold standard of MH Diagnosis? | (CHCT) Caffeine halothane contracture test.
🗑
