Bohr vs Haldane effect
Bohr is the effect of CO2 on the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve

What twitches do you see using stim on Interscalene confirming correct location?
Too shallow?
Too deep?
- Bicep contraction
- inward shoulder rotation
Shallow;
- phrenic nerve stimulation (Hiccuping)

term for excess saliva
sialorrhea
High frequency vs low frequency ultrasound transducers
High - shallow penetration
Low - deep penetration
What response is still impaired even at 0.1 MAC?
Etiology?
Ventilatory response to hypoxia
- Type I glomus cells in carotid sinus are impaired by reactive oxygen species (ROS), a byproduct of Volatile anesthetic metabolism. Greatest to least efffect Sevo > Iso > Des
Match TURP fluid with complication:
- Distilled H2O
- Glycine
- Sorbitol
- NaCl
- Distilled H2O - Hyponatremia, hemolysis, hemoglobinuria
- Glycine - Transient vision loss, increased ammonia (decreased LOC)
- Sorbitol - Hyperglycemia, Osmotic Diuresis (similar to mannitol so can cause LV HF in susceptible pt)
- NaCl - monopolar cautery can cause electrical current

- Acute chest syndrome can occur in abdominal surgeries
- Pulm HTN
SLE vs RA
SLE:

Both
- Anemia
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Restrictive lung disease

Top (Beta wave)
2nd: Theta - GA, sleeping kid

- rib
Celiac plexus
- Cancer pain of upper abdominal organs: distal esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, small intestines, all but descending colon
Superior hypogastric plexus block
- Cancer pain of pelvic organs: uterus, ovaries, prostate, descending colon
Shenopalatine block
- PDPH
samples of K sparing diuretics
SAT
