Final exam Review Flashcards
Indications for cervical plexus block include
carotid endartectomy, clavicle fracture, superficial neck surgery
The major nerves of the cervical plexus include
greater auricle, lessor occipital, supraclavicular, transverse cervical nerve, phrenic nerve
If the patient is not able to “pull” this describes appropriate blocking of the
musculocutaneous nerve
The nerves of the brachial plexus are in the tightest bundle at the
supraclavicular level
Injury to the _____- & ____ can occur with interscalene block
dorsal scapular & long thoracic nerve
Lipid emulsion dosing is
1.5 mL/kg
The quadratus lumborum targets the
ilioninguinal & iliohypogastric nerves
The lumbar plexus supplies sensory & motor innervation to
the thigh, anterolateral knee, & sensory innervation to the medial aspect of the lower extremity below the knee
The femoral triangle includes:
medial aspect of sartorius, medial aspect of adductor longus, & inguinal ligament
Landmark technique for the sciatic (subgluteal block)
greater trochanter & ischial tuberosity
Landmark for the iPack block includes
the posterior capsule & the popliteal fossa
Labs for myomectomy include
T&C & H&H
A total hysterectomy involves removal of
uterus & cervix
Hemabate is contraindicated for
asthmatics
methergine should not be given for those with hypertension
Cervidil will
ripen the cervix
Normal GFR is
125 mL/min.
ADH works in the
distal tubule to reabsorb water
General anesthesia is associated with a decrease in
renal blood flow, GFR, urinary flow, electrolyte secretion, & impairs autoregulation
S/s of fluoride toxicity include
hypernatremia & increased creatinine
CKD exists when
GFR is less than 60 mL/min.
Risk factors for AKI include
age >50 years, cardiac comorbidities & AAA
Symptoms of CKD do not appear until
less than 40% of normal functioning nephrons remain `
The most common cause of death for patients with CKD is
ischemic heart disease
Treatment for hyperkalemia includes
25-50 grams of dextrose, 10-20 units of regular insulin, 50-100 mEq for sodium bicarbonate
The most reliable test for renal function is
creatine clearance
Glycine toxicity can cause
transient blindness
Complications of TURP are related to
water intoxication, fluid overload, & hyponatremia
Most important prevention for TURP is
to avoid Tendelenburg position
The spinal cord ends at
L1-L2 in adults & L3 in children
When added to a spinal, clonidine
is not a vasoconstrictor & has synergistic effects, can help with tourniquet pain
Fiber types include
type b- preganglionic autonomic type C- pain, warm, could, & touch Type A- alpha- proprioception, motor Type A beta- touch, pressure Type A gamma- muscle tone Type A delta- pain, cold, temperature & touch
33 bones of the spinal column include
7 cervical 12 thoracic 5 lumbar 5 sacral 5 coccyx
Total CSF volume in an adults is
150 mL, produce 21 mL/hour, SAH holds 20-35 mL
