Anaesthesiology/Intensive Treatment Prac. Exam Flashcards
Name 3 antibiotics for pseudomonas coverage (just the classes)
- Extended spectrum penicillin with B-lactamase inhibitors (Piperacilin-Tazobactam = antipseudo penicillin)
- Cephalosporins
- Fluoroquinolones
Additional from amboss:
- Carbapenems
- Aminoglycosides
- Monobactams
- Polymyxins
What are 5 indications for dialysis?
AEIOU:
- Acidosis(certain ph or refractory to therapy)
- Electrolytes(K+ over 7)
- Intoxication,
- Overloaded with fluid,
- Uremia/uremic symptoms
Child CPR/ALS difference from adults?
15:2 ratio.
From Amboss: · Children older than 1 year o 5 initial rescue breaths → CPR o Compression rate: 100-120/min o Compression-to-ventilation ratio: - § Medical professionals: 15:2 - § Lay rescuers: 30:2 o Further management should follow the guidelines for adults. · Defibrillation: monophasic and biphasic waveforms: 2–4 J/kg of body weight
Symptomatic treatment of bradycardia, top 3 pharmacological agents.
- Atropine (he asked dose, 500mcg IV each time for max 3mg),
- isoprenaline,
- adrenaline,
- glycopyrrolate,
- dopamin.
Ultrasound during CPR, you can investigate:
1 H, 3 Ts.
H
- Hypovolemia (collapsing IVC)
T
- Tamponade (Collapsed RV + fluid filled pericardium),
- PE (Enlarged RV and RA),
- PTX (Lack of lung sliding and B-lines).
How many joules for infants/children with the defib?
4 J/KG
Dose of Epinephrine and how do you give a patient in ICU?
Infusion, he was happy with 0.01-0.03 mcg/KG/min
5 uses of end tidal CO2 during CPR? (capnography)
PQRST: Placement of ETT (endotracheal tube?),
Quality of compressions,
ROSC also know the values whats normal, what’s bad, and what is terminate-CPR bad.
Situation
Termination
etCO2 ROSC values
> 24
- stop CC, look for ROSC
<24
- CC is effective
<20
- improve CC quality
=<10
- Poor prognosis
3 indications for systemic thrombolysis?
I said PE, Ischemic stroke and early MI. He said MI is very rare and he wasn’t 100% happy
Top nosocomial bacterias?
Pseudomonas, MRSA, Klebsiella, Acinetobacter
3 symptoms of hypoglycemia:
CNS(agitation, coordination, sleepiness)
pale,
sweating,
tachycardia
Basic difference between CRRT and IRRT? What do you use when?
CRRT= Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy, done over 24 hours, and is a slow type of
dialysis
IRRT= Intermittent Renal Replacement Therapy: performed for less than 24 hours in each 24
hour period, two to seven times per week
CRRT has better haemodynamic stability (BP control) and improved survival and greater
likelihood of renal recovery.
Name 5 opioids commonly used?
Morphine, fentanyl, sufentanyl, Remifentanil, tramadol, codeine
Name 3 non invasive airway measures?
Head chin tilt, eschmark, cpap bipap, oxygen, bag mask stuff.
4 symptoms of shock:
MOF, Urine output<0,5ml/kg, loss of consciousness, confused, GI: absent bowel sounds
(adding)
Paleness
Cold-sweat
Cold skin (warm skin if distributive shock like sepsis/anaphylactic)
Lethal triad:
Coagulopathy, Hypothermia, metabolic acidosis
4 iv anesthetics
- Thiopental (= barbiturate 3-6mg/kg)
- Midazolam (= benzodiazepines 0.01-0.1 mg/kg)
- Propofol (2-4mg/kg) most popular
- Ketamine (1-5mg/kg)
3 inotropes:
- Norepinephrine
- Epinephrine
- Dobutamine
- Dopamine
Side affects of local anesthetics:
- Bradycardia and ventricular arrhythmias
- Hematoma → nerve compression→ neurological symptoms
- Infections
- Allergic reactions
- Spinal/epidural: Headache, bradycardia, hypotension…
How do you diagnose airway at risk
Listening for snoring, gurgling, choking + paradoxical movement
Criteria for empty stomach (how long do you need to fast):
Clear fluids (water, tea) = 2h Breast milk = 4h Nutritional drinks –cow milk – solid food = 6h
First line treatment of tpx:
Provide respiratory support and treat dyspnea + immediate tube thoracostomy
Caloric value of carbohydrates lipids protein and alcohol
- Carbohydrate (60-80% of nutrition): Glucose = 4,2Kcal/g ; Max glucose dose of
ICU patients 5mg/kg/min - Lipid (20-40% of nutrition): 9,1Kcal/g; lipid oxidation is limited, max dose = 1-1,5g/kg/day
- Protein: daily requirement in critical care =1,5-2 g/kg/day
- Alcohol: I guess 0 because the patient is in critical care ???
Formula of osmolality:
= 2[Na+] +[Glucose]/18 +[BUN]/2.8
In case: Osmolarity = 2Na + Glucose + Urea (mmol/L)
Shock definition:
Acute hemodynamic disorder (micro and macrocirculatory) independent of the cause, which
leads to insufficient oxygen supply and tissue hypoxia.
3 Application of ETCO2:
noninvasive technique which measures the partial pressure or maximal concentration of carbon
dioxide (CO2) at the end of an exhaled breath (N: 35-45 mmHg). Can be used to detect
metabolic acidosis (but ABG is the gold standard)
3 SUBLINGUAL antihypertensive drugs and their dose –
nitrates, ACEI, niflodipin.
Captopril = 25mg
Nifedipine = 10mg
Prozasin = 2mg
First choice of bradycardia treatment
Atropin

= 1/3SBP + 2/3DBP
