25
Q

PXT higher risk with left or right internal jugular venous cannulation ?

A

Left

Because the diaphragm higher on left side and also the thoracic duct more likely to be injured with the left

26
Q

A

Ipsilateral diaphragmatic paralysis

27
Q

A

Anteriorly

28
Q

With axillary block, least likely brachial nerve to be blocked ?

A

C5 Musculocutaneous (which supplies lateral forearm) to supplement with this Nerve block, inject within the body of coracobrachialis

It will block for sure the C8-T1 (ulnar and medial)

29
Q

With interscalene block, least likely to block nerve?

A

C8-T1

It will for sure block C5-C6 (all radial, medial, axillary and musculocutaneous except Ulnar)

30
Q

During brachial blockade is it motor or sensory that is blocked first?

A

Motor

31
Q

Interscalene block will be more successful when … twitch is elicited

A

Biceps (musocutaneous N)

32
Q

Intercostobrachial N supplies the … and it is or not part of brachial pluxes

A

Medial aspect of the arm

It is not (it is form from T2 which is not in brachial pluxes)

33
Q

The onset of brachial plexus block is fastest with … approach

A

Supraclavicular

34
Q

Axillary block will miss … nerve, which supplies the …

A

Musculocutaneous

sensory of Lateral forearm

35
Q

To supplement axillary block with Musculocutaneous nerve block, inject the local at …

A

The body of coracobrachialis muscle

36
Q

The base of middle finger supplied by …

A

Median N

37
Q

Sciatic nerve block landmark

A

Greater trochanter and posterior superior iliac spine

38
Q

Landmark for meralgia parasthetica …

A

Anterior superior iliac spine

39
Q

Landmark of stellate ganglion block

A

Tubercle of chassaiganc (tubercle of transverse process of C6)

40
Q

Landmark of superficial cervical plexus block

A

Posterior border of SCM

41
Q

Landmark of Deep cervical plexus block

A

Mastoid process and tubercle of chassaiganc

42
Q

Landmark of deep cervical plexus block

A

At the transverse process of C2-C4

43
Q

The correct position for CVP tip catheter

A

At 2nd costochondral junction on right side

At level of 4th vertebra

RA/SVC junction

44
Q

Celiac plexus is formed by … and …

A

Greater splanchnic nerve and lesser splanchnic nerve (T5-L1)

45
Q

Where is the celiac pluxes located in relation to spine

A

L1

46
Q

Celiac plexus has preganglionic… and celiac ganglion is a …. the postganglionic provides …

A

Preganglionic has sympathetic and parasympathetic

The ganglion is symptomatic and postganglionic provides sympathetic and sensory

47
Q

Distribution of celiac plexus

A

Mid stomach to mid transverse colon (visceral pain only)

48
Q

The 2 most common SE of celiac plexus block

A

Orthostatic hypotension due to splanchnic vasodilation

Q

Midline spinal needle passes through…

Paramedian approach passes 2 ligaments …. and encounter …. muscle instated.
