27
Q

nerve preservation methods

A

avoid muscle relaxers or use short acting, avoid locals and N2O

28
Q

Nerve stimulators common in middle ear procedures meaning:

A

no muscle relaxers after intubation

29
Q

N2O implications with middle ear procedures?

A

Avoid N2O or turn off >15 min before closing
(moves into middle ear = displacement of graft)
-N2O also increases risk of PONV

30
Q

Myringotomy (tubes) implications

A

no IV
N2O ok
nasal fent and dext used

31
Q

Most common pediatric surgery

A

Tonsillectomy & Adenoidectomy

32
Q

implications of NSAIDS with T&A?

A

ENTs want to avoid
d/t increased risk of bleeding.
Studies show NSAIDs =
no difference in bleeding, less PONV

33
Q

anesthesia implications for T&A

A

Airway obstruction, shared airway, suspension,
rapid awakening, pain mgt, PONV

34
Q

Bleeding Tonsil can present

A

hypovolemic, tachycardic, hypotensive
give crystalloid bolus pre-op

35
Q

all bleeding tonsils are

A

full stomachs

36
Q

induction for bleeding tonsils?

A

rapid sequence induction

37
Q

anesthesia implications bleeding tonsils?

A

rapid sequence
Suction stomach before
emergence
Extubate FULLY awake!!

38
Q

thyroid procedure implications

A

myesthenia gravis
meds taken am
steroid stress dose

39
Q

Inadvertent resection symtpoms

A

unilateral or bilateral VC paralysis
= airway emergency after extubation

40
Q

motor innervation to vocal cords?

A

recurrent laryngeal and external branch of superior laryngeal

41
Q

type of MR used for thyroid procedures

A

sux or short acting

42
Q

gold standard for thyroid procedures?

A

Intra-op nerve monitoring
ETT with 4 embedded electrodes Red = R, Blue = L (“NIM” tube)

43
Q

thyroid storm signs?

A

Increasing core temp and/or hyperdynamics

44
Q

caution in thyroid procedure?

A

Hypocalcemia 24-96 hrs post-op d/t damaged parathyroid glands (Numb/tingling -laryngospasm- seizures-dysrhythmia-CV arrest

45
Q

huge anesthesia implication thyroid surgery?

A

post op hematoma!! ER a/w obstruction

46
Q

anesthesia implications cleft lip/palat

A

difficult mask/intubate
fluid moving around a/w and obstructing
elbow restraints

47
Q

damage to horizontal, nose/palate, septum, and posterior pterygoids

A

Le fort fracture I

48
Q

triangular nose, orbit, below zygoma, lateral maxilla and pterygois

A

le fort frature II

49
Q

complete separation of midface from the cranial base across nose, ethmoid, orbit, sphenopalantine fossa

A

le fort III

50
Q

When can you not use nasal ETT w/o fiberoptic guidance for le fort fracture

A

if basilar skull fracture suspected (csf/blood/raccoon)

51
Q

anesthesia implications facial fractures

A

full stomachs
nasal ETT
extubate awake
PONV

52
Q

important post op facial fractures?

A

wire cutters at bedside

53
Q

history of radiation leads to

A

difficult a/w related to tissue changes, TMJ, etc.

54
Q

head up position and open neck veins could result in

A

VAE

55
Q

Most common & effective for profound analgesia/akinesia of eye and lids

A

ocular LA (retrobulbar or peribulbar)

56
Q

what cranial nerves have to be blocked ophthalmic surgery?

A

III, IV, V, VI, VII

57
Q

For full stomach, open-eye pt, s this an easy airway and eye viable?

A

If yes, use rocuronium.

58
Q

For full stomach, open-eye pt, s the eye viable?

A

If yes, but airway could be difficult, use Sux because a/w trumps eyeball

59
Q

oculocardiac reflex afferent and efferent?

A

afferent trigeminal (V), efferent vagal (x)

60
Q

OCULOCARDIAC REFLEX

A

Sudden, profound bradycardia
(can cause other dysrhythmias)

61
Q

OCULOCARDIAC REFLEX txt

A

Q

ways to decrease risk of fires?

A

Minimize FiO2, avoid flammable
preps, avoid O2 accumulation under drapes, communicate with surgeon (cautery)
