Q

what should be at hand to help position and hold the child when needed.

assistant.

34
Q

do we let children bring their favorite toy or security blanket into the OR

how is the tradition mask induction of anesthesia accomplished

A

nitrous oxide to 02 - 2:1

37
Q

offering children the choice of a scented mask

A

bubble gum or strawberry flavor, applied to the inside of the face mask may disguise the odor of the plastic.

let them play with the mask ahead of time.

38
Q

what can be seen with induction

A

Sevoflurane is then introduced and can be rapidly increased to 8% in a single stepwise increase, without significant bradycardia or hypotension in otherwise healthy children.

39
Q

.The reason for maintaining delivery of a high concentration of sevoflurane is to minimize the risk of

A

awareness during the early period of the induction sequence.

40
Q

IV induction is usually reserved for who?

What should the child be doing prior to iv induction?

A

reserved for : older kids, those who request it, those with a previously established IV , potential CV instability, and those who need RSI

ideally, child should be breathing 100% O2 before induction

41
Q

0.2-0.3 mg/kg

45
Q

iv induction dose of ketamine

A

1-2 mg/kg

46
Q

airway obstruction during anesthesia or loss of consciousness appears to be most frequently related to loss of muscle tone in the pharyngeal and laryngeal structures rather than

A

apposition of the tongue to the posterior pharyngeal wall.

47
Q

the progressive loss of tone with deepening anesthesia results in progressive airway obstruction primarily at the level of the

A

soft palate and the epiglottis

*in children, the pharyngeal airway space decreases in a dose dependent manner w/ increasing concentrations of both sevo and propofol anesthesia.

48
Q

extension of the head at the atlantooccipital joint with anterior displacement of the c.spine (sniffing position) improves hypopharngeal airway patency but does not necessarily change

A

the position of the tongue

49
Q

compared with chin lift and CPAP, the jaw thrust maneuver is the most effect means to do what?

A

improve airway patency and ventilation in children undergoing adenotonsillectomy

50
Q

Laryngospasm is defined as the reflex closure of the

A

false and true vocal cords

51
Q

complete laryngospasm is defined as closure of the false vocal cords and apposition of the laryngeal surface of the

A

epiglottis and interarytenoids

**net effect is complete cessation of air movement and noisy respiration, absence of movement of the reservoir bag, and an absent capnogram.

52
Q

53
Q

IV fluid administration sets should be prepared before

A

the child arrives in the OR.

54
Q

Appropriate size bag of LR and equipment for:

  • young children
  • infants < 1 yr old
A

young children: 500mL bag of LR with a graduated buretrol is appropriate

infants < 1 yr: 250mL bag with buretrol is preferable

**always use a buretrol

55
Q

the use of a buretrol and IV fluid bag are intended to limit the risk of

A

adverse events should the entire bag inadvertently be infused in the child.

56
Q

Initial blood loss may be replaced with balanced salt solution at a rate of

A

3mL of solution for every 1mL of blood loss.

3:1

57
Q

For thrid space losses, replacement is based on teh severity of the losses:

A

minor: 1-2ml/kg
moderate: 2-5 ml/kg
major: 6-10 ml /kg

58
Q

the smallest IV cannula through which blood can be infused rapidly:

A

22 g

59
Q

Fluid management 4-2-1 rule

A

1st 10kg = 4 ml/kg
2nd 10kg = 2 ml/kg
each kg >20kg = 1 ml/kg

total ml/kg/ HOUR

60
Q

deficit estimation:

A

hourly requirement x NPO hours

  • give 50% in hour 1
  • remainder in hours 2 and 3
61

A

1.5 -2 x MAC
