Which vasocontrictor additive in LA has alpha agonism resulting in increased MAP and reflex braycardia (good for tachycardic patients)
Levonordefrin
Which vasocontrictor additive in LA has beta agonism and is better for hypertensive patients
Epinephrine
NPO time for breast milk
4hrs
Role and mechanism of Train of Four
- Depolarizing –> uniform decrease in twitch amplitude in TOF - Non depolarizing –> sum of twitches based on % of receptors occupied. 1 twitch 95%, 2 twitches 85%, 3 twitches 80%, 4 twitches 75% makes sense because minimum 25% available receptors for NMJ function
Role and mechanism of Tetanic nerve stimulator
Depolarizing –> no fade in muscle response with tetany (if there is fade then there has been prolonged exposure to succinylcholine or phase 2 blockade) - Non depolarizing –> fade with tetany
Why is Sp02 falsely elevated in CO poisoning and heavy smokers?
CO poisoning and heavy smokers have increased carboxyhemoglobin which falsely elevates SpO2
Which leads most sensitive to ST elevation
Lead II Lead V5
Which volatile agent has airway irritation
Desflurane
Which volatile agent has slow onset
Isoflurane
While volatile agent may be contraindicated in renal patient?
Sevoflurane (compound A)
What hemodynamic effects do all volatile agents have
hypotension tachycardia decreased contractility decreased systemic vascular resistance
What ventilation effects do volatile agents have? (Exception-Isoflurane)
Tachypnea Hypercapnea Decreased Tv Decreased minute ventilation
Mechanism of Miosis with opioid
CN III parasympathetic agonist
Site of propofol metabolism
liver
