You Aorta-Know This!
This structure sits between the left atrium and left ventricle, preventing the backflow of blood
What is the mitral Valve
This device makes cardiac surgery possible
What is the Heart-Lung machine
Bleeding....try using this
What is a cell saver
When running a platelet mapping Teg on patients, these 2 drug pathways are assessed
What are ASA and Plavix (ADP)
In veno-venous ecmo, blood is returned to this part of the heart to support oxygenation without assisting the heart's pumping ability
This structure extends from the top of the heart and is typically the first cannulation site for cardiac surgery
What is the Aorta
The purpose of Cardio-Pulmonary Bypass is to avoid these 2 organs
what are the heart and lungs
This anticoagulant is used both for bypass as well for cell saving
What is Heparin
This blood component is main responsible for forming the initial "plug" in clotting
What are platelets
In Veno-Arterial ecmo, this vessel is used to return blood back to the body
What is the femoral artery
This structure is usually removed in cardiac surgery patients suffering from atrial fibrillation
What is ligation of the left atrial appendage
This device oxygenates the blood during Cardio-Pulmonary Bypass, effectively replacing the lungs
What is the Oxygenator
Name a substance that should not be sent to the cell saver
Any of the following:
-Amniotic fluid -gastric secretions
-bone cement -hemostatic agents
-fecal matter -antibiotics
This vitamin is essential in clotting and is affected by warfarin
What is vitamin K
What is the arterial line tracing
These 2 structures both drain into the right atrium
What are the Superior and Inferior Vena Cava
This circuit component filters, stores, defoams and deairs the blood before being sent to the oxygenator
What is the reservoir
These precious components are lost during cell saving
clotting factors and platelets
Patients on massive amounts of heparin will need this drug to reverse its effects
Protamine
BONUS $200: where does it come from?
In Veno-Arterial ECMO, this heart chamber may become distended if there is poor ejection and no venting, increase the risk for clot or pulmonary edema
What is the Left Ventricle
The Innominate, Left carotid and Left Subclavian arteries originate from here
What is the Aortic Arch
This technique protects the heart during bypass by arresting it and literally mean "Heart Paralysis"
What is cardioplegia
This cultural group with accept autologous cell salvage instead of banked blood
Who are Jehovah's Witnesses
what is Fibrinogen
While on ECMO, this complication occurs due to too much shear stress and high RPMS
What is hemolysis
