Cardiac Surgery
Etiology
Aortic Valve
Stenosis
Congenital anomaly or valve calcification, rheumatic heart disease, hypercholesterolemia
Regurgitation
Congenital anomaly, infective endocarditis, long-standing hypertension, rheumatoid arthritis.
Mitral Valve
Stenosis
Rheumatic Disease, calcification, infective endocarditis
Regurgitation
Connective tissue weakening, chordae tendineae rupture, CAD, rheumatic disease, infective endocarditis, cardiomyopathy
Pathophysiology
Aortic Valve
Stenosis
Narrowing of aortic valve, impeding LV emptying
Regurgitation
Leakage of blood from aorta back into LV during diastole, increasing LV afterload
Mitral Valve
Stenosis
Narrowing of mitral valve, impeding LV filling, decreasing preload

Mitral Valve
Stenosis
-
ECG showing LA dilation, A-fib, and RV hypertrophy

Differential Diagnosis
Most similar to Congestive Heart Failure. Must do 2D and Doppler Echo to indicate what valve problem is suspected
Respiratory Management
After cardiac Surgey, most patients are intubated and sedated (Tx in Scanlan table 20-8 pg484)
Full ventilatory support, 8-10 ml/kg VT with plat < 30 cmH2O)
