    Study Notes

    Fluid Management and Blood Transfusion

    ABL and EBV Calculation

    • ABL (Allowable Blood Loss) = EBV (Estimated Blood Volume) x (Hcti - Hctf) / Hcti
    • Hctf (Lowest acceptable Hct) is 21-24 in healthy patients and 30 in patients with CAD
    • Maintenance fluid rate: 4/2/1 rule

    Estimated Blood Volume (EBV)

    • Know estimated blood volume by age:
      • Neonates: 90-100 mL/kg (premature), 80-90 mL/kg (term)
      • Infants: 80 mL/kg
      • Adults: 70 mL/kg
    • Surgical losses of blood can be 2-8 mL/kg:
      • Minimal loss: 0-2 mL/kg (short procedure)
      • Moderate loss: 2-4 mL/kg (uncomplicated laparoscopic/orthopedic procedure)
      • Severe loss: 4-8 mL/kg (prolonged and highly invasive)

    Hypovolemia and Goal-Directed Fluid Therapy

    • Hypovolemia is the most common type of shock in anesthesia, but it's also the easiest to fix
    • Causes: preoperative fasting, greater fluid loss than fluid replacement
    • Goal-directed fluid therapy: uses hemodynamic values to guide fluid administration with fluid responsiveness tested with fluid bolus and relies on the Frank-Starling curve

    ERAS vs Traditional Approach

    • ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery):
      • NPO guidelines: drink up to 2 hours before
      • Purposeful IV fluids
      • Opioid-free/sparing techniques
      • Regional anesthesia
      • Opioid-free adjuncts (e.g., lidocaine, magnesium, precede, ketamine)
    • Traditional approach:
      • NPO after midnight
      • Load fluids in preop and liberal fluids in OR
      • Use of opioids for pain control

    Fluid in Small Intestines

    • Normally, 7-9L of fluid is secreted in the upper GI tract
    • Fluid reabsorbed into the large bowel, with only 0.4L passing in the ileocecal valve
    • Fluid shifts in small bowel obstruction:
      • Early SBO: 1.5L accumulates in bowel
      • With vomiting: 3L accumulated
      • Hypotension/tachycardia: 6L accumulated (CAUTION when giving vasodilatory drugs)

    Crystalloids vs Colloids

    • Parenteral fluids:
      • Crystalloids:
        • Examples: NS, LR, Plasmalyte, normalyte, dextrose in water
        • Indications: replace 3:1 in blood loss, half-life of 30-60 mins
        • Avoid LR in renal/liver disease due to impaired metabolism/clearance
      • Colloids:
        • Examples: albumin, dextran, hetastarch, hepsan
        • Indications: replace 1:1 in blood loss, half-life of several hours/days
        • Risk of allergic reaction and infection with albumin

    Transfusing/Different Types of Blood Products

    • Human blood:
      • RBCs: increase the amount of RBCs
      • PRBC transfusion: use filter and fluid warmer, only use normal saline, and avoid LR due to Ca crystallization
      • One unit increases Hg by 1g/dL and Hct by 2-3%
      • Pediatric dose: 10mL/kg increases Hct by 10%
    • Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP): correct a deficiency in coagulation factors or to treat shock
    • Concentrate of platelets: to treat or prevent bleeding due to low platelet levels
    • Cryoprecipitate: to treat fibrinogen deficiencies and contains vWF, fibrinogen, fibronectin, FXIII, FVIII
    • Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP): platelets, clotting factors, and other plasma proteins

    Blood Bank and Transfusion Reactions

    • Type and screen: screen for ABO, Rh, antibody, takes 5 mins, and has a 1:1k chance of reaction
    • Crossmatch: type and screen plus, takes 45 mins, and has a 1:10k chance of reaction
    • Best ratio is 1 RBC:1 FFP: 1 platelets for replacement therapy
    • Transfusion reactions:
      • TRALI (transfusion-related acute lung injury): more common than anaphylaxis
      • TACO (transfusion-associated circulatory overload): leading cause of death in transfusion complications

    Fluid Management and Blood Transfusion

    ABL and EBV Calculation

    • ABL (Allowable Blood Loss) = EBV (Estimated Blood Volume) x (Hcti - Hctf) / Hcti
    • Hctf (Lowest acceptable Hct) is 21-24 in healthy patients and 30 in patients with CAD
    • Maintenance fluid rate: 4/2/1 rule
