It begins with venous return and blood volume. Most blood volume is contained within the venous system, and the chapter describes several mechanisms that allow for this volume of blood to be returned to the right heart. Next it describes the various means by which the blood circulation and volume are controlled. The chapter devotes considerable time describing the central, peripheral, and hormonal regulation of circulation and blood volume. Next, regional blood flow is described. Blood flow in different regions of the body is usually autoregulated, and variably controlled by the autonomic nervous system, and various humoral agents. The final section describes the mechanism by which blood flow in the microcirculation delivers nutrients, and removes wastes from the tissue by diffusion. Also described are the regulation of the microcirculation by pre and post capillary sphincters, and the effect of viscosity.\u0000This review contains 5 figures, and 40 references. \u0000Keywords: venous return, vascular compliance, venous capacitance, vasomotor center, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA), microcirculation, regional blood flow, mixed venous oxygen saturation","PeriodicalId":345138,"journal":{"name":"DeckerMed Anesthesiology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129991924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Roughly 1 in 10 Americans have been diagnosed with an endocrine disorder, the vast majority of which is diabetes mellitus. This is closely followed by thyroid disorders and also includes patients with disease of the adrenal glands, parathyroid glands and pituitary. These individuals present for surgery with a multitude of metabolic and electrolyte derangements. Their disease may be complicated by obesity and severe, poorly controlled hypertension. Frequently, end-organ damage resulting from long-standing endocrinopathy is also present, including renal and cardiovascular abnormalities. These patients often present for surgery with undiagnosed disease due to the subtle physiologic alterations characteristic of many endocrine disorders. Identification and optimization of these individuals is paramount prior to surgery to avoid intraoperative and postoperative complications.

Nearly 30 million Americans have diabetes, more than 25% of which are undiagnosed. Patients with diabetes have multiple problems that should be addressed prior to surgery. They often have uncontrolled glucose levels that should be treated preoperatively. Current studies suggest that outcomes may be improved if perioperative glycemic control is optimized. Patients with diabetes develop end-organ dysfunction that can complicate perioperative management. Preoperative assessment of cardiac, neurologic, vascular, and renal function is necessary for all patients with diabetes that undergo major surgery. Optimization of cardiac disease in particular can reduce major adverse cardiac events for patients with risk factors such as diabetes. Diabetic patients can occasionally present for major surgery with hyperglycemic emergencies such as diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state. These conditions require urgent treatment to prevent mortality regardless of the need for surgery.

It is commonly undertaken electively, but can also be used in an emergency. An appropriate history must be taken, along with review of investigations (e.g CT scan, nasendoscopy), followed by a physical examination and development of a safe management plan. A variety of local anesthetic methods exist for topicalization of the airway (2-4% lidocaine), including nerve blocks (glossopharyngeal, recurrent laryngeal, superior laryngeal) to assist this. Sedation and amnesic techniques commonly include the use of benzodiazepines (midazolam), opioids (remifentanil infusion) and alpha agonists (dexmedetomidine).
