Q

Treatment of Ocular Cardiac Reflex

A

ask surgeon to stop manipulation,
assess adequacy of ventilation,

A

Decreased,
choroidial,
a fast,
venous

37
Q

Increased PaCO2 results in a ____ increase in IOP

A

slow

38
Q

metabolic _____ decreases the choroid vessel volume and therefore IOP

A

acidosis

39
Q

metabolic ______ increases the choroid volume and the IOP

A

alkalosis

40
Q

most anesthetic drugs and inhalation agents _____ IOP

A

drop

41
Q

Ketamine and IOP

A

may increase as it usually raises BP and doesnt relax extraocular muscles

42
Q

Etomidate and IOP

A

associated with myoclonus (10-60%) and may not be appropriate with an open globe

43
Q

Succs and IOP

A

starts within 1min and increases 5-10mmHg for 5-10 minutes

44
Q

Carbonic anhydrase inhibitor: Acetazolamide (Diamox) _____ IOP. Chronic use depletes __, ___, and ____ leading to metabolic ______

A

decreases,
K, Na, and bicarb,
metabolic acidosis

45
Q

Osmotic diuretic used intraop to decrease IOP

A

Mannitol

46
Q

Topical anticholinesterase drug maintain miosis to Rx glaucoma

A

Echothiophate

47
Q

Systemic absorption of echothiophate leads to

A

total inhibition of plasma cholinesterase prolonging succs

48
Q

alpha adrenergic agonist topically used to dilate pupil

A

phenylepherine

49
Q

Cholinergic drugs used to constrict pupil

A

pilocarpine and acetylcholine (bradycardia and acute bronchospasm have been reported)

50
Q

Topical beta blocker used for glaucoma

A

Timolol-systemic absoprtion can cause bradycarda, bronchospasm, and CHF exacerbation.

51
Q

what drug needs held for cataract surgery?

A

flomax- has selective alphad antagonistic properties. It binds the iris dilator muscles, affecting iris dilation and complicates cataract surgery even after 7-28days off therapy

52
Q

Most common elderly surgery

A

Eye surgery

53
Q

yes until two weeks of antihtn treatment

54
Q

Hemorrhage potential
serious-
intermediate-
least-

A

serious-obrital and oculoplastic surgery
intermediate-vitreoretinal, glaucoma, corneal transplant
least-cataract surgery (most agree safe to do cataract with pt on warfarin

Atkinson,
O’Brien

Blocks entire trunk of facial nerve

A

Nadbath Rehman

57
Q

Nadbath Rehman Block expect _____. Close to vagus and glossopharyngeal nerve so associated with

A

lower facial droop postop for several hours.

vocal cord paralysis, laryngospasm, dysphasia, and resp distress

safer,
cone,
increased likelihood of ecchymosis
