Q

nitrous oxide

A

increases muscle tone, provides analgesia, increases SVR and pulmonary vascular resistance, decreases breath holding, coughing, secretions and laryngospasm, ok in malignant hyperthermia.

Q

sevoflurane

A

causes AV disturbances, decreases breath holding, coughing, laryngospasm. compound A. 7 flourine makes it less soluble in blood therefore acts and metabolized quickly.

sevoflurane

A

causes AV disturbances, decreases breath holding, coughing, laryngospasm. compound A. 7 flourine makes it less soluble in blood therefore acts and metabolized quickly.

19
Q

Desflurane

A

least soluble in blood therefore metabolized quickly. respiratory irritant.

20
Q

What effects potency of inhalation agents

A

heavier atomic mass, more potent. (ceiling effect)
lipid solubility increases potency
oil/gas partition directly proportional to agents potency
reflected by MAC. lower MAC, more potent.

21
Q

iso, sevo, des structures

A

iso- 5 F with a Cl
sevo- 7 F
des- 6 F no Cl

22
Q

fastest to slowest metabolized volatiles

A

sevo, des, iso

23
Q

volatile flammability

A

adding halogen (flourine, bromine, chlorine, or iodine) DECREASES flammability. sevo is the least flammable.

24
Q

Barbiturates

A

GABAa conducts Cl through its pore resulting in hyperpolarization
alkalinity makes them incompatible with opioids and muscle relaxants
do not use in porphyrias
neuroprotection
decrease CO, MV, TV, and RR

25
Q

Etomidate

A

minimal hemodynamic changes, minute ventilation decreases, RR increases, adrenocortical hypoperfusion, myoclonia.

26
Q

ketamine

A
dissociative, NMDA antagonist
analgesia
minimal resp depression
stimulation of sympathetic nervous system
bronchodilation 
give benzo for psychomimetic effects
premedicate with anticholinergic
27
Q

Propofol

A

antiemetic effects if continuous infusion
anticonvulsant, neuroprotective
no analgesic properties
redistribution
can be eliminated by lungs (30%)
reduces MV, RR, response to CO2 and upper airway reflexes
Propofol infusion syndrome- children>adults, acidosis, brady, fever, rhabdo

28
Q

Benzos

A
anticonvulsant but not neuroprotective
anteretrograde amnesia
anxiolytic
rapid onset
antagonized by flumazenil
decreases BP, little change in Resp function
29
Q

Opioids

A

supraspinal- postsynaptic (mu1)
spinal-presynaptic
g protein receptors, inhibit adenylate cyclase
Morphine and demerol have active metabolites
slow pain/C fibers
EEG and evoked potential monitoring stays intact
truncal rigidity
morphine-histamine release
bradycardia except meperidine

30
Q

Dexmedatomidine

A

alpha2 adrenergic agonist, hypnosis from locus coeruleus stimulation
decrease CBF
decrease HR and SVR
decrease TV no change in RR. vent response to CO2 unchanged
upper airway obstruction possible

31
Q

Redistribution and patient awakening

A

redistribution from central blood volume to muscles fat and tissues is responsible for patient awakening

32
Q

depolarizing vs nondepolarizing

A

nondepolarizing: NMBA competitively bind to Ach receptor, closing the receptor and preventing depolarization, aminosteroids and benzylisoquinalones
depolarizing: NMBA mimics action of Ach, inactivating Na channels. succs.

33
Q

preferred method of peripheral nerve stimulation

A

ulnar nerve

34
Q

TOF

A
4 responses equal - less than 70% blockade
1 response abolished- 75%
2 responses abolished- 80%
3 response abolished- 90%
4/4 response abolished- 100%
35
Q

Order of paralysis of muscles

A
  1. extraocular
  2. face, neck, hands, feet
  3. abdomen, arms, legs
  4. eyeblink
  5. respiratory/diaphragm
    RECOVER IN REVERSE
36
Q

atracurium vs cisatracurium

A

atracurium- histamine release, hoffman elimination, ester hydrolysis
cis- no ester hydrolysis

37
Q

most common neuropathy associated with supine positioning

A

ulnar neuropathy

38
Q

larynx location in adult and infant

A

adult- C5-C6

infant- C4

39
Q

larynx composed of

A

thyroid, cricoid, arytenoid, corniculates, and epiglottis. also muscles and ligaments.

40
Q

mallampati

A

1- uvula, pillars, soft and hard palate
2- NO PILLARS, uvula, soft and hard palate
3- NO PILLARS ONLY BASE of uvula
4. only tongue

41
Q

cormack and lehane

A

Grade 1- see cords/glottis
Grade 2- see 1/2 of glottis
Grade 3- see epiglottis
Grade 4- no glottis or larynx

42
Q

atlanto occipital extension

A

flexion of neck aligns larynx and pharynx

extension of head aligns oral and pharyngeal axis.

43
Q

thyromental distance

A

less than 3 fingerbreadths is a poor laryngoscopic view.
