Q

Glossopharyngeal territory

A
  • upper epiglottis
  • base of tongue
  • back of oropharynx

BLOCK: behind tonsillar pillars
(retropharyngeal hematoma, CAROTID receptors afferent pathways…increasing pressure….can get bradycardia!!)

Q

Stellate ganglion block in relation to carotids

A

MEDIAL to carotid pulse ANTERIOR to C6 transverse process

–(80% of people) lowest cervical ganglion is fused with the first thoracic ganglion to form the cervicothoracic (stellate) ganglion

Q

syndrome get with stellate block

A

HORNER’s

  • ptosis
  • miosis
  • anhydrosis

THIS DOES NOT IMPLY SYMPATHETIC DENERVATION of arm. only that there’s cephalic sympathetic blockade

Q

Brachial plexus nn

A

C5-C8, T1

ANTERIOR PRIMARY RAMI

30
Q

Posterior cord become?

A

radial

and axial

31
Q

Lateral cord becomes

A

MC nn

after part of it splits off to join with medial cord to become median nn

32
Q

medial cord becomes ultimately

A

ulnar

33
Q

how many divisions?

A

6
three after
three poster

34
Q

where does the MEDIAN nn come from?

A

lateral and medial cords (coming together after gets branch from medial cord and branch from lateral cord)

35
Q

nerves in relation to AXILLARY artery?

A

superior - MEDian
infer - ULNar
poster/lat - RADial

-ALL mm of hand
[except: thenar eminence; 1st and 2nd lumbrical mm]

39
Q

where ulnar nn at wrist?

A

btwn:

Q

BEST test to check sciatic block?

A

foot inversion

(bc most of sciatic is medial side); although will have plantar flexion too
