2 Objectives Discuss physilgical differences acrss the lifespan Discuss functin and interactin f the cardivascular system t ensure the safe and effective administratin f anesthesia Recgnize physilgical and pathphysilgical cardivascular events and manage the anesthetic in accrdance with evidence-based practices

3 Natural Histry f Heart Failure Strke vlume is maintained at expense f Increased left atrial pressure Increased diastlic pressure Pulmnary venus cngestin Renin-angitensin-aldsterne system activated Catechlamine release/sympathetic utflw Vlume retentin Renin prductin

4 Hemdynamic Management Prevent mycardial depressin Maintain nrmal heart rate and prelad Avid high afterlad Maintain cntractility Manage decmpensated heart failure N particular advantage t any agent but lwer dses recmmended Mnitr with arterial line Avid large vlumes f fluid/diurese Use ephedrine, vaspressin and pssibly nrepinephrine fr hyptensin
