Q

Most common type of radiation clinical staff are exposed to

A

scatter radiation

19
Q

Effect of epinephrine on epidural bupivacaine

A

minimally prolongs duration of action (duration of action already so long)

20
Q

Was introduced in the early 2000s and has helped surgeons further identify the recurrent laryngeal nerve

A

intraoperative nerve monitoring

21
Q

Do not alter the seizure threshold in patients with renal failure

A

opioids

22
Q

Required fresh gas flow during spontaneous ventilation for this circuit is slightly less than the minute ventilation and is therefore the most efficienct

A

Mapleson A

23
Q

Washout of nitrous oxide can lead to

A

hypocarbia

24
Q

Effect of abdominal insufflation on pulmonary compliance

A

Decreased (which then increases peak inspiratory and plateau pressures

25
Q

Fasting interval for breast milk

A

4 hours (because breast milk leads to higher gastric residual volumes)

26
Q

At full term gestation, tidal volume is

A

increased 20-50%

27
Q

Minute ventilation at full-term gestation

A

increased

28
Q

Increased plasma Na+ increases what

A

strong ion difference

29
Q

Alpha/type I error

A

null hypothesis is incorrectly rejected when there really was no difference

30
Q

Dexmedetomidine mechanism of analgesia

A

agonist to peripheral and central alpha-2 receptors in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord

31
Q

After how long under anesthesia does core temperature monitoring need to be done

A

30 minutes

32
Q

Shunt fraction equation

A

Qs/Qt = (1n-SaO2) / (1-SvO2)

33
Q

Hypotension effect on changes in PaCO2

A

Decreased responsiveness

34
Q

Morquio syndrome is associated with

A

atlantoaxial instabiligy

35
Q

Numerous B-lines on pulmonary ultrasound indicates

A

pulmonary edema

36
Q

Adverse effect of nitrous oxide use in seriously ill patients or with chronic use

A

Megaloblastic anemia

37
Q

How vasopressin maintains osmolality

A

Inserting aquaporin channels in the collecting duct

38

Left circumflex artery supplies the

A

anterolateral papillary muscle

40
Q

Large-volume nerve block with the potential to cause local anesthetic systemic toxicity

A

transversus abdominis plane block

41
Q

Isovolemic hemodilution effect on cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance

A

increases cardiac output and decreases systemic vascular resistance

42
Q

Low molecular weight heparin clearance mechanism

A

Relies on renal clearance for up to 40% of its elimination

43
Q

Can reduce wall stress on cerebral aneurysms

A

Controlled hypotension

44

Inhaled anesthetics effect on respiratory rate

A

Increased in a dose-dependent manner
