Aetiology / Causes / Risk Factors1 / 6
- Primary = valve defect
- rheumatic HD
- endocarditis, CT disease
- Secondary = normal valve = functional = most common
- RV dilatation from
- pressure overload = PHTN,
- volume-overload
- anatomical = right-sided MI
- RV dilatation from
Pathophysiology2 / 6
- any cause of RV dilatation
Signs / Examination3 / 6
- PSM at LLSE
Management4 / 6
- manage co-morbidities
Anaesthetic considerations5 / 6
- Pre-op
- Intra-op
- mild-moderate usually well tolerated
- severe TR = ⬆RV pressure/volume overload / RVF
- PL = adequate PL
- critical to avoid hypovolaemia
- HR = fast
- RHY = sinus
- INO = support RV if RVF
- AL = maintain
- PVR = low = avoid high = O2, CO2, pH, ENS+
- Post-op
