A

Vasoconstriction Prolonged duration Increased intensity Decreased systemic tox Decreased surgical bleeding Assists with test dose

57
Q

A

Increases pH & :. Non-ionization inc. Speeds onset Decreases injection burn

58

Eye (max 4 points) Verbal (max 5 points) Motor (max 6 points) 15 perfect 3 worst

60
Q

Systolic murmur

A

Mitral regurgitation Or Aortic stenosis

61
Q

Diastolic murmur

A

Atrial regurgitation Or Mitral stenosis

62
Q

S3 sound

A

Early diastole Sudden deceleration of blood flow from LA to LV [overly compliant LV] (Indicates systolic CHF in elderly/ normal in young people or athletes or pregnant)

63
Q

S4 sound

A

Just before S1 Blood forced from LA into NONCOMPLIANT LV (Diastolic HF or active ischemia, can be sign of LV hypertrophy)

64
Q

Gauge range and length for spinal needles

A

22-29 g 3.5-5 inches *mostly use 25-27 g and 3.5 inch

65
Q

Pencil point needle advantages

A

Non-cutting tip Less PDPH Drags less contaminants into subdues tissue Pierce dura with clearly perceptible “POP”

66
Q
A

Pencil point - Whitacre

67
Q
A

Pencil point - gertie marx

68
Q
A

Quincke (in spinals) or quincke-babcock has a “cutting bevel tip” - hold the bevel direction parallel to the longitudinal dural tissue fibers to minimize the risk of PDPH

bevel can cut- so direct which way it goes

69
Q

Touhy needle (turns for catheter)

[for Epidurals]

(like 17 g)

70
Q

Failure of block- may try again or another method of anesthesia/

Post – dural puncture headache POSITIONAL when sitting up/

High spinal/

Nausea – COMMON r/t hypotension and decreased perfusion, block symp outflow to GI but not parasymp outflow to GI/

Urinary retention /

Hypoventilation/

Backache/

Hematoma/

Orthostatic hypotension

73
Q

Hematoma Recognition/Treatment

A

New onset weakness to lower limbs and sensory deficit, OR spinal never wears off (should wear off 1-4 hrs), OR get feeling again then starts to get numb

New onset back pain

New onset bowel or bladder dysfunction

Must diagnose and surgically decompress hematoma within 8 hours for best outcome

Can cause paraplegia

Consult neuro and send for MRI
