Monitoring and access
Large bore IV (18-gauge) placed in Pre-op. Can use this IV line to go to induce anesthesia and give pre-op medications.
Arterial Access:
Awake vs asleep Arterial Line, typically a radial arterial line. Surgeons may elect to place femoral arterial lines as well.
Vascular Access:
Once asleep: additional large bore access should be obtained: there is variation in practice here:
- Double Stick right Internal Jugular
- Cordis 8.5F for large volume resuscitation and blood products
- Single or double lumen 16g Central line for infusions
- Single Stick RIJ
- Cordis 8.5F or 9F
- 14 G or 16 G peripheral IV's
- Consider Triple stick, RIC line and additional access, especially for redo-sternotomy cases
Central monitoring:
- CVP monitoring
- Swan-ganz catheter placement is not unusual
- Occasionally may be placed after induction but left at only 20cm until the new heart is placed in the chest then floated into the Pulmonary Artery.
- Can be used to measure Cardiac Output and Cardiac index via Thermodilution
