I am not arguing that a static CVP value should be used to predict a patient’s volume status, or volume responsiveness? Absolutely not. However, there is tremendous meaning in the CVP as the starting point for a basic lesson in hemodynamics. The CVP is the fulcrum of cardiovascular physiology at the bedside; understanding the genesis of the CVP lays the foundation for interpretation of hemodynamic intervention in the ICU as well as interpretation of bedside echocardiography.

INTRODUCTION: The importance of functional right ventricular failure and resultant splanchnic venous congestion has long been under-appreciated and is difficult to assess by traditional physical examination and standard diagnostic imaging. The recent development of the venous excess ultrasound score (VExUS) and growth of point-of-care ultrasound in the last decade has made for a potentially very useful clinical tool.

1. CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE (CHD) Atrial septal / ventricular septal defects in pregnancy are often well tolerated during pregnancy. When anaesthetizing patients with CHD, using either a regional technique or general anaesthesia, the following factors must be kept in mind; prevention of accidental intravenous infusion of air bubbles, when planning epidural anaesthesia, loss of resistance to saline rather than air should be used to identify the epidural space , a slow onset of epidural analgesia

2. VALVULAR HEART DISEASE i) MITRAL STENOSIS: Anaesthetic considerations are to maintain a slow heart rate, venous return and SVR, avoid aorto-caval compression, treat atrial fibrillation (AF) aggressively, try and maintain sinus rhythm, prevent pain, hypoxaemia, hypercarbia and acidosis as these can increase PVR. Both general anaesthesia and regional techniques have been used.

iii) AORTIC STENOSIS: Anaesthetic management in AS is to avoid tachycardia, and bradycardia, maintain intravascular volume and venous return, avoid aortocaval compression, and myocardial depression, maintain a normal heart rate as a slow heart rate decreases cardiac output (CO). Tachycardia may decrease time for coronary perfusion of the hypertrophied LV.

3. PRIMARY PULMONARY HYPERTENSION: Anaesthetic management is similar to that of the Eisenmenger syndrome. Elective caesarean section is the preferred method of delivery. Both regional and general anaesthesia can be used for caesarean delivery. For regional anaesthetic technique using a slow induction epidural anaesthesia is advised. Vasopressors are only used if absolutely necessary, as they increase pulmonary artery pressure.

5. MATERNAL ARRHYTHMIAS DURING PREGNANCY: Management of arrhythmias during pregnancy is similar to that in the non-pregnant patient. Congenital heart block and bradyarythmias If congenital heart block is recognized in a pregnant woman, cardiac consultation should be taken, to determine whether there is need of a pacemaker. A pacemaker is indicated in patients with symptoms, when Q-T interval is prolonged or there is left atrial enlargement.

ANESTHESIA FOR CESAREAN DELIVERY FOR CARDIAC PATIENTS: • Patients with mWHO class I or II cardiac disease typically tolerate a traditional intrathecal dose of local anesthesia (eg, hyperbaric bupivacaine 10–15 mg) for cesarean delivery. Depending on the cardiovascular lesion, patients with mWHO class III or IV lesions may benefit from a more gradual-onset sympathectomy. • Neuraxial anesthesia for most patients with cardiac disease undergoing caesarean delivery should be considered.

1. Immediately communicate to the surgery team and the operating room (OR) staff that the patient’s status may be compromised. 2. Ensure adequate oxygenation; increase the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) to 100% to improve oxygen saturation as measured by pulse oximetry (SpO2) 3. Decrease anesthetic depth 4. Expand monitoring to include 12-lead ECG, or order it immediately if in the pre- or postoperative area 5.

INTRODUCTION: Perioperative ARF (Acute Renal Failure) accounts for 20–25% of cases of hospital-acquired renal failure. It is also associated with a high risk of infection, prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital stay, progression to chronic renal failure (CRF), and dialysis-dependent end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The chance of full recovery from an episode of ARF in the surgical setting is only 15%—many patients progress to develop varying degrees of chronic renal dysfunction.

Introduction: The classic laryngeal mask airway was invented by Dr Archie Brain in the UK in 1981 1. It became commercially available in the United Kingdom in 1988 and in the United States in 1991. The LMA Classic (cLMA) received wide recognition in a short time and has had a major impact on anesthesia practice and airway management. Some authors refer to these as extraglottic 2-3 , periglottic 4 or supralaryngeal airways 5 , but the term ‘supraglottic airways’ is the most widely use

Over the past 25 years a variety of alternatives to conventional manual CPR have been developed in an effort to enhance perfusion during attempted resuscitation from cardiac arrest and to improve survival. Compared with conventional CPR, these techniques and devices typically require more personnel, training, and equipment, or they apply to a specific setting.

Introduction Hip fracture is the commonest reason for a frail older person to need an anaesthetic and operation. However, the immediate physiological stress experienced by these patients is the pain and blood loss associated with the fracture. High quality anaesthetic care is crucial to the effective management of both stresses. Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland in 2012 issued guideline on The Management of Proximal Femoral Fracture.

Death or permanent disability from anaphylaxis in anaesthesia may be avoidable if the reaction is recognised early and managed optimally. Recognition of anaphylaxis during anaesthesia is usually delayed because key features such as hypotension and bronchospasm more commonly have a different cause. If anaphylaxis is suspected during anaesthesia, it is the anaesthetists responsibility to ensure the patient is referred for investigation.
