soft palate, palatine tonsils, & uvula

38
Q

____ is more soluble than air, helium, oxygen, or nitrous

39
Q

IAP

A

15 mmHg

40
Q

Physiologic changes of pneumoperitneum include

glucagon

42
Q

Pickwickian syndrome is a

A

severe chronic OSA leading to cor pulmonale

43
Q

Describe how biventricular failure develops in obese patients.

A

increased total blood volume, increased CO, increased RAAS, increased left-side heart pressures & LVH

44
Q

Anesthetic considerations for spinal surgeries include

A

visual loss, bleeding, VAE

45
Q

BCIS symptoms include

A

hypotension & hypoxemia & heart block

46
Q

Pneumatic tourniquet should not be used for more than

A

2 hours

47
Q

Fat embolism s/s include

A

petechia, hypoxemia, & pulmonary edema

48
Q

The two branches of the vertebral artery include

A

the anterior spinal artery & posterior spinal arteries

49
Q

6 extraocular muscles of the eye include:

A

superior rectus- supraduction- CN III
inferior rectus- infraduction- CN III
medial rectus- adduction- CN III
lateral rectus- abduction- CN VI
superior oblique- intorsion, depression-CN IV
inferior oblique- extorsion, elevation- CN III

50
Q

Describe the oculocardiac reflex.

A

the nerve that carries signal to the brain for the reflex is the trigeminal nerve
the vagus sends back out to cause bradycardia–> stop pulling on the muscle, give atropine or glycopyrrolate

51
Q

What’s unique about the optic nerve?

A

part of the CNS- outgrowth of the brain

it is not a cranial nerve & so the meninges surround it

52
Q

Intraocular pressure measures

A

measures the pressure of the eye & is formed by aqueous humor
normal pressure is 12-20 mmHg
someone with glaucoma will have higher intraocular pressure

53
Q

The following medications can be administered to bring intraocular pressure down:

A

diamox- contraindications include sulfa allergy & liver/kidney dysfunction
mannitol

54
Q

The branches of the trigeminal nerve include

A

ophthalmic, maxillary, & mandibular

55
Q

The facial nerve includes

A

the zebra bit my cousin paul

anterior: temporal, zygomatic, buccal & mandibular
inferior: cervical
posterior: posterior auricular

56
Q

Fire triad includes

A

oxidizer
fuel source
ignition source

57
Q

TTJV is

A

rapid, small volume ventilation
be mindful of expiratory time
pressure you’re ventilating at is 60 psi

58
Q

A

DVT & PE

59
Q

______ presents the highest risk for morbidity & mortality in plastic surgery

A

liposuction

60
Q

The FDA max dose of lidocaine is

A

35 mg/kg

61
Q

Considerations for burns include:

controlled hypotension
dural puncture
positioning-rotated away with arm tucked
