FBC • HB • Anaemia ? Why • Anticoagulation type of valve • WCC • neutrophilia • neutropaenia True or false • Prosthetic valve endocarditis has ~50% mortality • PLT • Thrombocytosis • Thrombocytopaenia • Aspirin and clopidogrel have no effect
U & E • Na • Paraneoplastic in Ca lung • Confusion in old grannies • Diuretics • K • Arrthymias • Urea • GI bleed • Diuretic use • Dehydration • Creatinine • Major risk factor for dying post cardiac surgery
LFTs and calcium • LFTs • Alcoholics major risk factor • Metastasis in lung cancer • Right heart failure • Drugs eg Statins • Ca2+ • Metastasis in lung cancer • Paraneoplastic
Clotting • Pro coagulant • Protein C • Protein S • antithrombin III • VonLeiden • Lupus anticoagulant ONLY ONE WITH ABNORMAL LABS • Block the grafts • Bleed • Monitor heparin and warfarin therapy and reversal • VonWillibrands • Haemophilia A • Christmas disease (Haemophilia B)
Glucose • 1ST OR 2ND on list • Diabetes is major risk factor for dying • Poorly controlled means metabolic problems post operatively • Newly diagnosed in CABG patients • HBA1c or Fructosamine
ECG • Normal or not • Rate eg brady or tachy • SR / AF • PR interval • LV hypertrophy • Bundle branch block • ST levels in CABG • ST curvature in lung and oesophageal cancer • Pacemaker
PFTs • Epidural use • Nebuliser use • Risk of thoracotomy • Valve patients different to CABG patients • DLCO / VA • Thoracic surgery • Rule of 19 for predicting post operative FEV1
CXR - Cardiac • Size heart • Risk • Cardioplegia • Trauma • Aortic calcification CVA risk eg Cannulation ? Off pump • Lung cancer as most are ex or current smokers • #ribs ? #sternum in past • Wires / clips from previous sternotomy • Beware Ethibond or wire removal • Think LIMA • Valves and Warfarin
CXR - Thoracic • Size heart • Risk • Trauma • Growth of tumour • Pleural effusion • Pulmonary mets • #ribs ? #sternum in past • Wires / clips from previous sternotomy • Beware Ethibond or wire removal • Think LIMA especially in Left upper lobectomy • Valves and Warfarin
CXR - Oesophageal • Size heart • Pleural effusion • Pulmonary mets • ? see tumour • Wires / clips from previous sternotomy • Beware Ethibond or wire removal • Think LIMA • Valves and Warfarin
Angiogram – Isolated CABG • Aortic calcification • Amount aortic regurgitation • LV function • What needs doing • Conduits to use • LIMA • RIMA • Radial • Vein
Angiogram – Isolated Valve • ? needs CABG • LMS length • Circ size in mitral surgery • Aortic calcification • Amount aortic regurgitation • LV function • Aortic valve calcification ? CVA risk
CT - Cardiac • Redo surgery ? RV and sternum separation • Aortic sizes ? Need root or arch • Follow up of descending aorta • Planning coarctation
CT - Thoracic • Thoracic surgery • Tumour • Mediastinal LNs • Metastatic spread
CT - Oesophageal • Oesophageal Surgery • Tumour ? Left or Right approach • Trachea • Mets
Echo • All murmurs need evaluating • Always check “supposedly normal valves” • Pulmonary and tricuspid valves rarely commented on with mitral valve patients • PA pressure MAJOR risk factor • LV and RV function
Weight • Tamponade • Leg wound healing • Breathless patients ? Need diuretics
BP • Left and right arm for LIMA • Level that kidneys and brain expect • Aortic dissection
Swabs • Sternal wound and valve infection • Prosthetic valve endocarditis mortality 30 to 50 %
Carotid scans • Type of operation • Blood pressure on bypass • Risk of stroke • ? Combined procedure • Post operative medications
