22
Q

A patient with a pulmonary artery catheter in place is suspected of having tricuspid regurgitation. How would you confirm this?

A

Look at CVP waveform in right atrium

23
Q

When electrocardiography is used to position a central venous catheter, entry of the catheter’s tip into the right atrium would be indicated by what appearance on the ECG

A

Biphasic P waves

24
Q

After successfully placing an introducer into a patient’s left internal jugular vein, the tip of the PA catheter is introduced into the introducer. How far should the PA catheter be advanced before the balloon is inflated?

A

20cm

25
Q

Once you have donned sterile gown and gloves, how must your arms and hands be positioned?

A

Above the waist

26
Q

Which accessible arterial sites are NOT appropriate for long-term arterial cannulation? Why?

A

Femoral artery due to risk of infection

27
Q

Which arterial sites can NOT be cannulated?

A
  • Carotid

- Brachial

28
Q

What would a normal NMB motor threshold be for an anesthetized, euthermic patient?

A

15mA

29
Q

What initial dosage infusion rate for norepinephrine would be most efficacious and safe to produce an increase in both SVR and MAP?

A

5mcg/min

30
Q

If general anesthesia is being maintained with isoflurane in a mixture of nitrous oxide 1.5L/min and oxygen 1.5L/min, what determines the partial pressure of the isoflurane being administered?

A

Temperature

31
Q

A 48 year old women with CAD is undergoing general anesthesia for laparoscopic cholecystectomy when she begins having multifocal PVCs. What drug and dose should be administered first to treat this problem?

A

Lidocaine 1mg/kg

32
Q

During a central venous access procedure, the carotid artery is cannulated instead of the jugular vein. BP is 116/80mmHg. How high in cm will blood rise in the IV extension set tubing?

A

A

55%

36
Q

Most frequent etiologies of anaphylaxis in anesthesia practice

A
  1. NMB drugs
  2. Latex
  3. Antibiotics
37
Q

Is an APL valve a resistive valve or a threshold resistor valve?

A

Resistive valve
