Q

What’s the Tensilon test and when would it be used? How much?

A

Edrophonium 1-2mg IV to somone with MG to differentiate between cholineric crisis from too much pyridostigmine or exacerbation of MG (myasthenic crisis)

Edrophonium = anticholinesterase

-if muscle strength improves, the pt has myasthenic crisis
> increasing the concnetration of ACH at the NMJ improved the pts muscle strengtrh
> if it doesnt > cholinergic crisis - give anticholinergic

Q

Patient with MG will be (select 2):

-Sensitive to Vec
-Resistant to Roc
-Sensitive to Sux
-Resistant to Sux

A

Sensitive to Vec
Resistant to Roc

Sensitive to NDMR - less functioning receptors = less that need to be blocked
Resistant to SUX- sux requires functioning receptors to exert it’s effects

-neurotransmission is imparied, takes more sux (acts like ach) to depolarize the membrane

controversial - inconclusive data
28
The peripheral nervous system includes all the nerves of the body where
outside of the brain and spinal cord
29
What is acute idiopathic polyneuritis?
GBS ## Footnote immunolgic attack on myelin in the peripheral nerves
30
3 most common viruses associated with GBS ## Footnote 3 other things assoicated with it

31
Which NMD will ephedrine result in an exaggerated response and why
GBS ## Footnote peripheral desruction of mylin, impaired synaptic transmission, upregulation of postjuncitonal reeptors - acetycholine and adrenergic
32
What is plasmapheresis and when would it be used?
it's when blood is withdrawn from the body, blood and plasma are seperated into plasma and cells, and the cells are transfused back -goal is to remove plasma which has antibodies that are causing issues in autoimmune diseases ## Footnote like dialsysis but specifically removes antibodies from the plasma portion of hte blood
33
T/F: Interferon has shown to improve outcomes in GBS
False -MS
34
T/F: Regional anesthesia is preferrred over GA in GBS
False ## Footnote there is controversy with regional and GBS
35
Which agents are safe to administer to the patietn with hypokalemic periodic paralysis? (select 2): -Roc -terbutaline -D5LR -Acetazolamide
ROC & Acetazolamine ## Footnote *acetazolamide is the treatment for both hyperand hypokalemic variants -hypokalemia periodic paralysis can follow a glucose-insulin infusion. pt becomes weak when serum k decreases
36
Hypokalemic vs Hyperkalemic period paralysis -which results in muscle weakenss following a glucose-insulin infusion vs potassium administration
hypokalmeic - glucose-insulin infusion hyperkalemia- oral potassium administration ## Footnote both result in skeletal mujscle weakenss
37
Treatment for Familial period paralysis - hypo vs hyperkalemic forms
Acetazolamide for both ## Footnote -creates a non-anion gap acidosis (loss of bicarb)- protects agaisnt hypokalemia +facilitates renal K excretion > guards agisnt hyperkalemia
38
Familial periodic paralysis - which is more important to avoid- hypo or hyperthermia
avoid hypothermia
39
Sux considerations with familial periodic paralysis: hyperkalemic vs hypokalemic
hyperkalemic- contraindicated for obvious reasons hypokalemic- contraindicated bc it's associated with MH
40
T/F: Familial Periodic paralysis is a disease of the NMJ
FALSE- disorder of the skeletal muscle membrane ## Footnote hypoklemic PP Is associated with a calcium channelopathy hyperkalemic PP is associated with a sodium channelopathy
41
Which NMD is acetazolamide used for and why
Familial periodic paralysis- both varients hypo or hyperkalemia ## Footnote it results in non-anion gap acidosis, protecting agaisnt hypokalemia and facilitates renal potassium exretion - protecting agaisnt hyperkalemia *FPP = skeletal muscle weakness resulting from either hypo or hyperkalemia
42
T/F: LR has potassium in it
True ## Footnote avoid in hyperkalemic periodic paralysis
43
MH isi primarily associated with the genetic mutation of the: A. SERCA2 pump B. ryanodine receptor C. dihydropyridine receptor D. actin myofilamint
B.
44
What is an inheritied disease of skeletal muscle that's characterized by disordered calcium homeostasis?
MH ## Footnote exposure to halogenated anesthetics or sux activates the defective ryanodine recpetor (RYR1) > stimulates the sarcoplasmic retriculum to release way to much calcium into the cell.
45
What happens with MH when the defective ryanodine receptor (RYR1) is exposed to triggering agents?
it stimulates sacroplasmic reticulum to release way too much calcium into the cell ## Footnote >sustained skeletal muscle contraction >>hypermetabolic state >increased o2 consumption
46
MH triggers -2
halogenated anesthetics and depolarizing NMBs (SUX)
47

51
T/F: myotonic dystrophy carries of risk of MH
False
52
T/F: osteogenesis imperfecta is not associated with MH
true
53
RyR1 receptor vs RyR2 receptor
RyR1 is located in skeletal muscle RyR2 is located in the cardiac muscle
54
Word association game: King-Denborough syndrome
MH ## Footnote +central core disease +multiminicore disease
55
Word association game: Central core disease
MH ## Footnote +king-denborough syndrome +mulitminicore disease
56
Association b/t MH and Duchenne's
halogenated agents and sux can initiate an MH-like syndrome but this is NOT MH, it's due to rhabodmyolysis ## Footnote lack of dystrophin (a structural protein) destablizes the sarcolemma during muscle contraction and increases membrane permeability so giving SUX = muscle contraction = destabalized sarcolemma >CA is free to enter the cell , increasing rate of metabolism >intracellular K is free to exit > hyperkalemic cardiac arrest >Myoglbin is free to exit the cell > renal failure
57
T/F: Duchenne's pts have a normal RyR1 receptor and can safely get inhalationals and sux
False - they DO have a normal RyR1 reeptor but cant get inhalational and sux bc they cause a MH-like syndrome caused by rhabdo
58
T/F: ANY pt with duchennes should get TIVA over GA
True ## Footnote INH can induce rhabdo somehow
59
ANY patient with ANY muscular dystrophy who sustains cardiac arrest on induction should immediately be treated with what ## Footnote why
Calcium chloride ## Footnote assume severe hyperkalemia
60
Incidence of MH
1:5,000 to 1:50,000
61
4 states that have a higher risk of MH
Wisconsin Nebraska West Virgina Michigan | males > females
62
Early vs Late signs of MH (3 each)
Early = masseter spasm, increased etco2, tachy Late = hyperthermia, cola urine (rhabdo), DIC
63
What is the most sensitive indicator for MH
EtCO2 that rises out of proportion to minute ventilation
64
MH can occur as late as how many hours/days following exposure to a triggering agent
6 hours
65
Core temp can (but does not always) begin to rise within what time frame after exposure to a triggering agent
15 mins ## Footnote but profound hyperthermia is usually a late sign
66
What are the differences between trismus and masseter muscle rigidity
Trismus = tight jaw that an still be opened (normal response to sux) Masseter muscle rigidity = tight jaw that cant be opened (NMB will not relax)
67
T/F: true masseter muscle rigidity cannot be relaxed with a NMB
True -yikes then what lol
68
T/F: if a patient experiences masseter muscle rigidity, assume MH until proven otherwise

can occur during any phase
72
Early/Intermediate/late sign of MH: musle rigidity
late ## Footnote *masster spasm is early
73
T/F: masseter muscle rigidity can be a normal response to sux | can you proceed with surgery?
FALSE - Trismus (jaw tight but can still be opened) can be a normal response to sux | no for masseter muscle, yes for trismus ## Footnote prob wise to convert to a non-triggering agent anyway they say
74
Why won't NMB work for masseter muscle rigidity?
bc the spasm is due to increased calcium in the myoplasm which is distal to the NMJ, so blocking it wont fix the problem
75
What is the caffeine-halothane contracture test the gold standard for diagnosing? | how is it done? ## Footnote sensitivity/specificity?
MH | live muscle biopsy sample ## Footnote high sensitivity and low specificity (think MH is HIGHLY SENSITIVE to SUX)
76
Which drug is contraindicated in the management of MH? A. Verapimil B. Mannitol C. Calcium chloride D. Insulin
A. Verapamil ## Footnote due to life-threatening hyperkalemkia that can resoult when a CCB is co-administered with dantrolene -mannitol is in each vial of dantroline so rule that out
77
T/F: data suggests dantrolene prophylaxis is MH precaution patients
false
78
MH Precautions: 3 things you want to do
1. Flush with high flow o2 for 20-100minutes dependeing on vent 2. remove and replace all external parts > CO2 absorbent, circuit, breathing bag 3. Remove vaporizers

80
How do you use charcoal filters
put one on each port (I&E) of anesthesia machine and flush the machine with high FGF > 10LPM for 90 seconds prior to using machine on pt
81
Dantrolene - what are the 2 MOAs
1. reduces calcium release from the RyR1 recpetor in the skeletal myocyte 2. prevents calcium entry into the myocyte , which reduces the stimulus for calcium-induced release
82
Dantrolene vial: How many mg dantrolene What else is in it How much to reconsitute with and what
20mg 3g of manitol 60mL of preservative-free water
83
T/F: you should diute dantrolene with NS
false- introduces additional solute, prolonging the time it takes for it to dissolve ## Footnote 60mls of perservative-free water
84
T/F: dantrolene is classified as a muscle relaxant
true
85
First 3 steps in treating MH
1. Discontinue triggering agent 2. Call for help (notify suregon to terminate) 3-A. hyperventilate with 100% fio2 at a minimum of 10L/min 3-B charcoal filters and new circuit and bag | *dont waste time changing the soda lime ## Footnote #4 is giving dantrolene or ryanodex
86
How often do charcol filters need to be replaced?

97
Preop findings in the patient with Duchenne muscular dystrophy include: (select 2): -mitral stenosis -pulmonary fibrosis -increased creat kinase -deep q waves in limb leads
-increased creat kinase -deep q waves in limb leads ## Footnote - dystrohin stablizes cell membrane - DMD has none so sarcolemma becomes unstable during contraction and increases membrane permeability. -CK leaks through muscle membrane > elevated plasma concentration -like skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle is also at risk for degeneration, leading to MR (not stenosis, cardiomyopathy, and conduction defects -scarring of the posterobasal aspect of hte lv manifests as R wave amplitude increase in lead I and deep Q waves in limb leads
98
EKG changes in DMD (2)
deep q waves in limb leads increased R wave in lead I ## Footnote from scarring of hte posterobasal aspect of the left ventricle ... great -found something that says when calcium freely inters the cell, it activates proteases that destroy contactile elements and cause inflammation, fibrosis , and cell death -while that somewhat suports this scarring - why is it only the posterobasal aspect of the LV?
99
T/F: DMD just affects skeletal muscle
false ## Footnote cardiac muscle is also at risk for degeneration leading to MR, cardiomyopathy, and conduction defects
100
What is the most common skeletal muscle myopathy?

103
What is the critical structural component of the skeletal and cardiac myocytes that helps anchor actin and myosin to the cell membrane
Dystrophin
104
Why does are DMD pts at risk of hyperkalemia following sux?
bc the absence of dystrophin allows extrajunctional reeptors to populate the sarcolemma
105
3 signs of cardiomyopathy
1. resting tachycardia 2. JVD 3. S3/S4 gallop 4. displacement of PMI
106
What angle describes the magnitude of spinal curvature in pts with scoliosis | what angle is an indication for surgery
Cobb | > 40-50 degrees
107
Scoliosis surgery 6 considerations
1. VC < 40% predicted correlates with requirement for post-op ventilation 2. cervical scoliosis may cause difficult intubation 3. thoracic correction higher than T8 may require one-lung ventilation 4. prepare for significant blood loss 5. monitor end-organ perfusoin with serial ABGs ( risk of metabolic acidosis) and urine output 6. risk of VAE
108
Pt's undergoing scoliosis correction.... VC < what would indicate need for post op ventilation
< 40%
109

60 | 70 ## Footnote thats why they suggest you get it corrected when its 40-50
114
Goal of spinal fusion with instrumentation fo scolioisis is what
to stop the progression of hte curvature and prevent further deterioation of cardiopulmonary function
115
cardiac complications associated with scoliosis mostly affect the right or left heart
right - due to increased PVR ## Footnote RV hypertrophy RV strain RA enlargement but also may have MVP, MR, and coarctation of aorta
116
T/F: MVP is the most common co-exisiting cardiac condition in those with scoliosis

Which is superior for the pt in the prone position to reduce IAP and improve pulm compliance... jackson frame or wilson
Jackson better
118
T/F: Nitrous oxide increases PVR
True
119
VAE would result in (select 2): -increaed etco2 -decreased etco2 -increased PacO2-Etco2 gradient -decreased Paco2 - etco2 gradient
-decreased etco2 -increased paco2-etco2 gradient ## Footnote increased dead space (air no blood), VAE

Dens | AKA: Odontoid process ## Footnote superior boney projection off the axis (C2) provides a pivot point that faciltates head rotation
121
RA impacts the airway in what 3 places
1. TMJ 2. Cricoarytenoid joint 3. Cervical spine
122

123
atlantoaxial subluxation and seperation of the atlanto-odontoid articulation is the most common airway complication of which disease? | what does this increase the risk for (2)
RA | quadriparesis or paralysis
124
You see your pt has RA... so you appropriately downsize your tube, your preceptor asks why
bc they have RA which affects the cricoarytenoid joints and they can have decreased glottic opening diameter
125
RA pts are at risk for quadriparesis or paalysis due to c-spine immobility, is flexion or extension worse?
flexion ## Footnote RA= no flex ZONE
126
If you see pt has hx RA- try and pay attention to their voice quiality- why
bc if they are hoarse, stridorus, or dyspneic, theres an increased risk of airway obstruction (cricoarytenoid arthritis)

T/F: the thoracolumbar spine is generally not affected by RA
true
128
Anesthetic considerations for the patient with RA include (select 3): -Aortic regurg -obstructive ventilatory pattern -hypercoagulability -hypoglycemia -anemia -pulmonary effusion
Anemia Aortic regurgitation Pulmonary effusion ## Footnote aortic regurg from dilation of hte aortic root -restritive pulm defect due to intersistal fibrosis, costrochondral involevment and pleural effusions -NSADS = first line tx of RA; asa inhibits plaetet functio nand increases risk of bleeding -glucocortioids are used to reduce inflammation. this ncreases (not decreases blood sugar)
129
What is the most common hematologic complication of RA?
Anemia
130
T/F: pleural effusion is hte most common pulmonary complication of RA
True
131
RA patients - increased or decreased risk of bleeding
increased - NSAIDS = first line tx
132
RA patients - increased or decreased blood sugar
increased due to glucocorticoids to reduce inflmmation
133
First line tx for RA
NSAIDS
134
What is RA?
an autoimmune disease targeting synovial joints ## Footnote there is also widespread systemic involvement leading to vasculitis

136
T/F: RA typicallly affects proximal interphalangeal and metacarpophalngeal jointsi n the heads and feet and not weight-bearing joints
True | OA affects weight bearing joints
137
medical mangement of RA aims at reducing inflammation by which 3 methods
1. antirheumatics 2. glucocorticoids 3. nsaids ## Footnote antirheumatics = methotrexate, cyclosporine, and etarercept *immune suppression (autoimmune disease) - increases risk of infection and cancer
138
3 antirheumatic drugs used for RA | risk?
1 Methotrexate 2. cyclosporine 3. Etanercept | infecftion and cancer ## Footnote * Methotrexate associated with liver dysfunction and bone marrow suppresion * Cyclosporine prolongs duration of sux

What is Multiple sclerosis?
a demylinating diesase of the CNS (brain and spinal cord)
171
Do we need to avoid hyperthermia or hypothermia in Ms pts
avoid hyperthermia ## Footnote increases risk of demylination
172
Are MS pts at risk for aspiration?
yes- bulbar muscle dysfunction
173
MS patients - which is safe vs questionable - epidural vs spinal
epidural = safe spinal = questionable - m ay exacerbate sx
174
T/F: pts with myotonic dystrophy may safely receive a halogenated anesthetic
True ## Footnote no risk of MH may be more sensitive to them though
175
3 things that increase the risk of contractures with myotonic dystrophy
1. Sux 2. anticholinesterase (use sugammadex) 3. Hypothermia (shivering > contractions
176
symptoms pts may have with MS
-so it's demylination of brain and spinal cord so: -senosry and motor deficits and autonomic instability -aspiration risk due to cranial nerve involvement
177
3 things used to treat MS
corticosteroids interferon azathioprine
178
MS can be exacerbated by stress and increased body temp as small as what
1 degree C
179
MS - can you give sux?
no- life threatening hyperkalemia ## Footnote -demylination of CNS , upregulation of receptors bc they arent getting as much ACH as they should be (i think)
180
What does scleroderma cause?
excessive fibrosis in the skin and organs, espeically in the microvasculature ## Footnote Airway - skin fibrosis limits mouth opening and mandibular mobility lungs - pulmonary fibrosis and pulmonary htn heart- dysrhythmias and CHF vesels - decreased compliance > HTN kidneys- renal failure and RAS > HTN peripheral and cranial nerves - entrapment by tight connective tissue > neuroapthy eyes - dryness - risk of corneal abrasion
181
Which disease is associated with Telangiectasia | what is it ## Footnote problem?
those with CREST syndrome - a type of sclerodoma | spider veins ## Footnote increase risk of mucosal bleeding which can become problematic during airway manipulation (particularly during nasal intubation); concerning bc pts with scleroderma often have liited mouth oppening which may necesitate nasal fiberoptic intubation
