carotid body/vagal stimulation
goals for anesthetic management
preventing/treating post-op ________ _______
airway obstruction
goals for anesthetic management
minimizing use of ______
N2O
RAE tubes
oral and nasal
cuffed, uncuffed, sometimes difficult to fit d/t bend
(keeps circuit out of the surgeons way)
anode tubes
armored, reinforced
flexible, resists kinking but can be occluded with biting
laser tubes
metal impregnated - reduces risk of fire
most LAs used are _____-______
amide-based
varying concentrations of ________ added
epinephrine (almost always see some tachycardia with how vascular the face is where injected)
______ still used in some centers - caution when combined with ______
cocaine
epinephrine
__________ for secretions
anticholinergics
steroids to ____ _____, ______, and prolong ____ _____
reduce edema, PONV, and prolong LA effects
high risk for PONV, especially _____ ______ procedures
middle ear
(bc youre messing in the area with the CN VIII and once stimulated they can have hours of PONV to deal with)
deliberate hypotension goal: decrease blood loss by ______ ______ while maintaining _______ and _______ autoregulation
decrease blood loss by reducing MAP while maintaining cerebral and systemic autoregulation
(technique has lost a lot of favor)
Deliberate hypotension: Maintain MAP greater than or equal to
60 mmHg (pts with HTN may need higher)
deliberate hypotension - ________ required*
arterial line (best practice)
deliberate hypotension is common for ______ _______ and ______ cases
extensive dissections and FESS
FESS
functional endoscopic sinus surgery
deliberate hypotension common drugs
- nitroprusside
- dexmedetomidine
- esmolol
- NTG
- nicardipine
- remifentanil
- propofol
(can you see why you would need an art line??)
advantages to laser surgery (3)
precise excision
minimal edema
less blood loss
MOST ______ ______ during head/neck sx are r/t lasers
surgical fires
____ _____ (patient & staff), _______ ______, and _____ are biggest concerns
[Laser surgery]
- eye protection
- plume dispersion (done often for papillomas aersolizing the virus)
- fires
laser sx and ETTs
large risk of losing tube
endoscopy procedures
- panendoscopy
- microlaryngoscopy
- bronchoscopy
endoscopy complications:
- eye trauma
- epistaxis
- laryngospasm
- bronchospasm
- adverse effects and epinephrine
bronchs require _______ _____ ______
vocal cord relaxation
airway sharing leads to potential ____ ___ ______, _______ complications, operative field ________ by ____
loss of airway, laser complications, operative field blocked by ETT
apneic techniques - unprotected ________, ________ ________
unprotected airway, hemodynamic liability
HFJV - no _____ involved
ETT
HFJV - manual:
hand valve connected to independent O2 source
HFJV - mechanical:
various devices for controlling rate and % O2
Use lowest O2 possible
less than or equal to 30%
difficult to maintain ____ and _____ in obese patients and with pulmonary disease
SaO2 and CO2
the bigger the patient the harder these techniques can be
air-trapping with HFJV can lead to _________ or _______
sub-cu emphysema or PTX
HFJV is contraindicated in
full stomach patients
with HFJV, to minimize OR contamination use
TIVA - gives a more steady level of anesthesia also
foreign body aspiration is common in _______ and usually in the _____ ______
children
right bronchus
FBA symptoms
wheezing, coughing, aphonia, cyanosis
FBA gold standard treatment
rigid bronch with GA
mortality of bronch
0.4% (CV arrest, bronchial rupture) in OTW healthy patients
FBA complications
- severe laryngeal edema
- pneumothorax
- pneumomediastinum
- hypoxic brain injury
________ induction with _______ ventilation is best for FBA
inhalation induction with spontaneous ventilation
use ______ O2, _______ ______, deep _____, sometimes _______
[Foreign Body Aspiration]
100% O2
ventilating scope
deep GA
sometimes TIVA
prefer to bring up on
mask
______ ______ with riskier airway
ETT wake-up
_____ and _____ ____ commonly given to help relax traumatized airways post sx
steroids and breathing tx
Intraop EMG of ______, _______, _______, _______ ______ nerves
facial, laryngeal, vagus, spinal accessory
most common
[Nerve preservation]
unilateral facial paresis
nerve preservation: avoid _____ ______ or use short acting for intubation
muscle relaxants
nerve preservation: avoid ______ and ______ (or turn off well before closing)
LAs and N2O
N2O can dislodge grafts, LAs can impede nerve reaction
nerve preservation - deep extubation
in healthy patient with no contraindication, it can be a nice technique that prevents coughing/bucking
common middle ear procedures
tympanoplasty, mastoidectomy
middle ear procedures require _______ ______
bloodless field
______ _______ common (no MRs after ______)
[ear procedures]
nerve stimulators
intubation
middle ear - ______ is a big problem
PONV
avoid ______ or turn off _______ before closing
avoid N2O or turn off > 15 mins before closing (moves into middle ear and causes displacement of graft)
N2O also increases risk of ________
PONV
myringotomy (minor sx)
- usually doesnt require IV access (mask/gas only usually)
- N2O ok d/t brevity of procedure
- precedex/fent nasally can be nice for mild analgesia

pediatric sx
T&A frequently have ______. Adult version: _________ (___)
