1
Q

What does in plane refer too?

A

In plane refers to the needle being inserted and followed in the same plane as the ultrasound beam, this allows for visualization of the entire needle during the procedure***

Q

What does out of plane refer too?

A

Out of plane refers to the needle being inserted perpendicular to the plane of the beam. This is a more difficult approach since you can only see a portion of the needle shaft .**

Q

Oculocardiac Reflex is parasympathetic response that causes a decrease in heart rate of 20% below baseline values and Can induce arrhythmias including V-fib. How do you treat it if this occurs?

A

Stopping Manipulation of the eye and an anticholinergic: Atropine or Glyco

18
Q

Why is there a high probability of LA in an intercoastal block?

A

There is high probability of LA Toxicity because it is a highly vascularized region

19
Q

If you want to do shoulder surgery with a Supraclavicular block will this be enough from an anesthetic stand point?

A

No you will also need to have some other type of anesthesia on top of the block, you will not be able to do the procedure with the block alone.

20
Q

If you wanted to arm surgery and you do an interscalene block, what nerve will you miss?

A

Ulnar nerve

21
Q

What block can you do if you wanted to do shoulder surgery and MAC anesthesia?

A

Interscalene block

22
Q

Doing an axillary block, what part of the brachial plexus will you block?

A

Branches

23
Q

Doing an interscalene block, what part of the brachial plexus will you block?

A

Roots

24
Q

Which nerve gives us the ability to speak?

A

Recurrent laryngeal nerve

25
Q

What is the motor response for the ulnar nerve?

A

Stimulation of the ulnar nerve causes 5th digit flexion and opposition and ulnar wrist deviation.

26
Q

What is the motor response for the Median nerve?

A

The median nerve when stimulated produces opposition of the thumb and little finger, pronation of the forearm and flexion of the wrist.

27
Q

Should you add epinephrine to digital blocks so you have the ability of the LA to last longer?

A

No! No epinephrine to distal extremity blocks

28
Q

What are the roots of the brachial plexus?

A

C4-T1

29
Q

What does it mean when something is HYPERechoic?

A

Structure reflects most sound waves

Structure appears white on screen

30
Q

What does it mean when something is HYPOechoic?

A

Echofree

Structure allows most sound waves through

Structure appears black on screen

31
Q

How does the brachial plexus look appear on US when you scan from the post proximal and work your way most distally?
Hypo or hyper?

A

Hyperechoic

32
Q

What is an acoustic shadow?

A

Bone is hyperechoic and appears as bright with an acoustic shadow below, this shadow is caused by the inability of the ultrasound waves to penetrate the structures below.

33
Q

What is acoustic impedance?

A

Acoustic impedance- the resistance to sound transmission through a medium. (almost like fiction)

When ultrasound passes through two very different materials the majority of it is reflected.

This happens between air and the body, meaning that most ultrasound waves never enter the body.

To prevent this large difference in impedance a coupling medium (gel) is used between the air and the skin.

34
Q

Which structure has the highest impedance?

A

Bone

35
Q

What is the motor response when you stimulate the common peroneal nerve?

A

Common peroneal nerve stimulation causes dorsiflexion and eversion (injury = FOOT DROP)

36
Q

What is the motor response when you stimulate the tibial nerve?

A

Tibial nerve stimulation Plantar flexion and inversion

37
Q

Oculocardiac Reflex is mediated by the parasympathetic nervous system. What are the nerves involved?

A

Trigeminal-Vagal reflex***
-Efferent pathway for the oculocardiac reflex

Ophthalmic nerve is afferent to Trigeminal nerve

Vagas efferent to SA node

38
Q

Which block has a lower risk for an intrathecal injection?

Retrobulbar or Peribulbar?

A

Retrobilbar

39
Q

How much LA would you use for a Retrobulbar block?

A

Aspirate, then inject 2 to 5ml of LA.

40
Q

How much LA would you use for a Peribulbar block?

A

Aspirate, then Inject 8-10ml of LA.

41
Q

The gag reflex is mediated by which nerve?

A

The gag reflex is mediated by the GlossophArynGeal Nerve

42
Q

Complications associated with retrobulabar blocks? Which is the most common one?

A

Complications associated with retrobulabar blocks – Most common is Superficial or retrobulbar hemorrhage.

43
Q

Normal Intraocular Pressure?

A

Intraocular Pressure 10 to 22mm Hg

44
Q

Intraocular pressure is determined by what?

A

Intraocular pressure is determined by aqueous humor dynamics - The most important determinant of IOP is aqueous humor production and elimination balance
