22
Q

True or false epidural anesthesia for CS is a less dense block, greater chance of failure, and has an increased complexity of the technique

A

True

23
Q

How much cc of LA for each level anesthetic blockage

A

1cc

24
Q

How many cc’s do you give with an epidural and how long between doses

A

5cc and 2 min between doses

25
Q

What can you add to an epidural

A

Epi and sodium bicarb

Fentanyl/morphine

26
Q

Which LA can be used in an epidural for fastest onset, no fetal transfer, acidotic fetus

A

2 chloro

27
Q

Which LA is most frequently used for CS epidural if not urgent/emergent

A

Bupi

28
Q

What do you add to epidural LA in case of emergency

A

2% lidocaine with epi and sodium bicarb
10-20 ml of lido
2ml of pedi bicarb (1ml of sodium bicarb with 9ml of 2% lidocaine)

29
Q

Which cocktail for epidural CS has the fastest onset and longest duration

A

50/50 lido/bupi with sodium bicarb

30
Q

Dose and DOA for Lidocaine 2% with epi 5mg/ml dose for Epidural CS

A

300-500 mg

DOA 75-100min

31
Q

Dose and DOA for 3% 2-chloro

Epidural CS setting

A

450-750mg

40-50 min

32
Q

Bupi 0.5% dose and DOA for epidural CS setting

A

75-125 ming 120-180 min

33
Q

Ropi 0.5% dose and DOA for epidural CS

A

75-125mg 120-180 min

34
Q

Fentanyl dose and doa for epidural CS

A

50-100 mcg 120-240 min

35
Q

Morphine epidural cs dose and doa

A

3-4mg

720-1440min

36
Q

How do you perform a sequential block

A

Inject 10ml of saline through epidural to help rostral spread of spinal
Squeezes dural sac

Smaller initial spinal dose - less hypotension

37
Q

Why is spinal after failed epidural controversial

A

Risk of high or total spinal

38
Q

How much of the OB spinal dose is recommended after a failed epidural

A

75%

39
Q

Causes of total spinal

A

Epidural injection into subarachnoid (too much volume)
Epidural dose into subdural (subdural space low volume space)
Spinal after failed epidural

40
Q

S/S and management for total spinal

A

Presents 10+25min after
Rapid progression of motor and sensory block
Sx: dyspnea, difficulty phonating, significant hypotension, LOC

Tx: IVF LUD, vasopressors, elevation of legs, intubate, r/o eclampsia, fluid embolism, anaphylactic shock

41
Q

Acid Prophylaxis tx against aspiration for GA CS

A

Sodium citrate
H2 antagonist (-tidine)
Prokinetic - reglan

42
Q

Is patient prepped and draped before induction of GA for CS

A

YES

43
Q

Patient position considerations for RSI

A

15 degree at least of LUD
Cricoid 44 newtons
BURP
Head and neck elevated

44
