Q

Goal airway pressure while mask ventilating

A

< 20 cmH20

> 20 -> pressure will open the LES and cause air to enter the stomach (aspiration risk)

Q

Pressure control volume guaranteed

A

Tidal volume is the primary setting
decelerating inspiratory flow as the set pressure is being reached

ventilator delivers set tidal volume at intervals based on set respiratory rate, for each breath the ventilator adjusts the inspiratory pressure to use the lowest pressure required to deliver the tidal volume, based on the patient’s compliance and the inspiratory pressure for subsequent breaths.

inspiratory pressure ranges;
low end; PEEP + 2 cmh2o
Max; Pmax - 5 cmh2p

Q

CPAP vs BIPAP

A

BiPAP machine provides different air pressure levels for inhalation and exhalation. In contrast, a CPAP machine uses the same amount of air pressure whether the user is breathing in or out.

Q

How does atropine work

A

antimuscarninic, it inhibits the Vagus nerve from secreting ach on the muscarninc receptors in the heart that are responsible for hyperpolarizing the cell by transporting K+ out of the cell which typically keeps the heart rate low. Blocking this will increase the hear rate

benedryl is also an antimuscarninc

A

It is evidenced by a pathological Q wave that is either greater than 40 milliseconds wide or measures 1/3 of the height of the R wave.
When seen without acute changes such as ST elevation or ST depression it is considered to be “old” or of undetermined age.

auto peep test

A

do an end expiratory hold. see the pressure at the end of expiration and if that pressure is greater than what the peep is set at = auto peep

189
Q

What is auto peep

A

At end expiration, there is still a pressure/air gradient that is remaining in the alveoli when the inspiration starts as compared to that alveoli pressure being less than or empty. This contributes to a Larger FRC. A persistently increasing FRC = increased remaining volume in the lungs = dynamic hyperinflation at the end of expiration = auto Peep.

Q

What electrolyte abnormality is acute pancreatitis likely to cause

A

hypocalcemia

In acute pancreatitis, there is inflammation and damage to the pancreas. Calcium ions that are normally bound to proteins in the blood can precipitate and bind to necrotic (dead) pancreatic tissue

During the inflammatory process in pancreatitis, there is an increase in free fatty acids. These fatty acids can bind to calcium ions in the blood, forming complexes that are not biologically active

A

neural integrity monitor electromyogram tracheal tube

non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents is contraindicated

minimum outer diameter of at least 8.8 mm

When attempting to identify LNs, a stimulating electrical current of 0.5-2.0 mA is used by the surgeon. This current is administered via a sterile probe, which is placed directly on the anatomical site in question. Additionally, return electrodes are positioned in the skin above the sternum

When a LN is located, an electrical signal is subsequently generated by the motion of the vocal cords. An audibly recognizable “machine gun click” is then produced from the device’s associated monitor. This sound has a set frequency of 4 times/s (4 Hz). Simultaneously, an oscilloscope-like screen displays an identifiable sinusoidal response.

high output

261

A

decreased ciliary production

6-8 weeks cessastion = decrease mucous and ciliary production

262

CO2; 0.04%-> 0.04%-> 5.3% -> 3.6%

N2O; 79%->74% ->75% -> 75%

263
Q

Edinger Westphal Nubleus stimulation is likely to cause…..

miosis

264
Q

What patients can be sensitive to protamine

A

vasectomy
pulmonary htn pts
allergy to certebrate fish
protamine is used as an antidote for heparin and also as a component in certain insulin preparations, including NPH (neutral Protamine Hagedorn) insulin. patients previously exposed to NPH insulin might have been sensitized to protamine

265
Q

What is porphyrias

A

group of rare conditions caused by excessive buildup of porphyinogens, which are precursors of heme.

durgs such as barbituates, etomidate, halothane, clonidine, metoclopramide, lidocaine, prilocaine, diclofenace and ranitide have ben implicated in precipatating an acute attack in susceptible individuals

266
Q

Branches of the femoral nerve anesthetized during a ankle block include…

A

saphenous nerve block (femoral nerve), deep peroneal nerve, posterior tibial nerve, sural nerve and superficial peroneal nerve. (sciatic nerve)

267
Q

Ammonia/ creatine facts

A

Generated from amino acid metabolism in the liver and is converted to urea (measured as BUN).

creating is end product of creatine phosphate metabolism , that’s generated from muscle tissue and excreted through the kidney

because treating production is proptionate to muscle mass, catchetic patients (chronic illness, advanced age, decondiditned patients) may have a normal creatine, despite a markedly reduced GFR.

268
Q

What meds to avoid is LAST

A

vasopressin, ccb, BB, local anesthetics

269
Q

interpleural analgesia can be accomplised by placing local anesthetic …

A

immediately deep to the parietal pleura via catheter between the parietal and visceral pleura . LOR at T6-T8 intercostal space or the surgeon places it via ultrasound. pneumothorax is a significant complication

270
Q

Propofol is a vasodilator due to…..

A

reduction in sympathetic activity

271
Q

Propofol antiemetic action may be explained by…

A

decrease in serotonin levels (area postrema)

272
Q

what may cause an increase in bp from stimulation of A2B adrenoreceptors

A

Dexmedetomidine

273
Q

What does a dibucaine number reflec

A

reflects inhibition of psudocholinesterase by dibucaine .

Dibucaine a LA inhibits normal pseudocholinesterase. Homoygoups pts with abnormal pseudocholinesterase characteristically have a dibucaine number of about 20%, heterozygous patients have numbers of 40-60% and normal patients usually have a dibucaine number of 80%. The dibucaine number is proportional to pseudocholinesterase function, but is independent of the amount of the enzyme.

274
Q

pin index safety sytem positions

A

AIR; 1,5 (I=1)
O2; 2,5 (2 molecules = 2)
N2O; 3,5 (3 molecules = 3)
CO2; 2, 6

275
Q

Which has coronary antispasmodic and vasodilatory effects more than systemic arterial vasodilatory effects

A

nicardipine

276
Q

What are the four types of lipids

A

triglycerides, phospholipids, steroids and eicosanoids

277
Q

What affects calcium levels

A

Hyperventilation leads to dec CO2. in alkalosis calcium binds more tightly to proteins in the blood (albumin). This binding leads to a dec concentration of ionized calcium. The biologically active form of ca.

Bicarbonate administration can also cause alkaosis by increasing pH. binding of calcium to albumin increases in alkalotic conditions.

citrates chelates / binds to calcium inions reducing the levels of ionized calcium. most of the time the liver quickly metabolizes citrate and ca levels return to normal. in MTP w/ liver dysfunction, citrate accumulation can cause sig hypocalcemia,

Thiazeide diurectics affect ca by reducing the amount of ca excreted in the urine. This results in increased ca reabsportion in the kidney and higher levels of ca in the blood.

278
Q

contraindications for nerve block

A

coagulopathy
local anesthetic allergy
lymphadenopathy
skin infection
preexisting neulolgic disease of anatomy

279
Q

Where do the axillary and musculocutaneous nerves leave the brachial plexus
