ITE block 5 Flashcards
Interval data
data has order, difference b/w values is meaningful
NO true zero exists
ex: temperature, pH
nominal data
categories w/ no order
gender, race, blood type
ordinal data
order exists, but the difference between values is not meaningful
ex: mallampati, numerical pain score
ratio data
order exists, difference between values is meaningful
TRUE zero does exist
ex: kelvin, weight, length
which types of data are categorical?
nominal, ordinal
they both kinda ordinary sounding
what types of data are numerical?
ratio, interval
ratio has a O -> so it has a true zero, interval does not

how do charcoal filters for MH work?
activated charcoal filter is highly porous w/ large surface area of carbon atoms that bind to volatile anesthetics
most sensitive evoked potentials to inhaled anesthetics
visual and motor evoked potentials
-visual #1
somatosensory and brainstem less sensitive
Anesthesia concern long QT syndrome
volatiles esp sevo worsen -> consider TIVA
Plateau pressure versus peak insp pressure
plateau: seen by alveoli and small airways during PPV -> static measured w/ no flow
-peak: pressure needed to deliver a breath -> result of resistance that occurs in large and medium conducting airways
When is it more reliable to weigh a cylinder to tell how much is left as opposed to using pressure?
liquified gases -> ones that exist in a pressurized cylinder at partial liquid and partial gas -> gas re-equilibrates and so pressure is full even when gas is used -> weight more accurate
-ex: nitrous oxide, propane, CO2
what gases are the pressure reliable to tell how much gas is left in a cylinder?
nonliquified gases -> so they exist entirely in gaseous form in a cylinder -> so pressure reliable indicator of how much gas left
ex: oxygen, helium, air, nitrogen
Full O2 cylinder L and psig
660L
1900 psig
Full nitrous oxide cylinder L and psig
1590L
745psig
=> pressure gauge reads full until 75% of cylinder used

625L
1900psig
Helium full cylinder L and psig
500L
1600psig
When doing biphasic shock w/ paddles directly on heart how many J?
Start at 5 -> 10 -> 20 -> 30 -> 50
Clark electrode ABG
cathode, anode, and membrane
-measures O2 on ABG, calibrated by 100% and 0% sample
-O2 passes through membrane, reduced by cathode -> creates current -> current relative to O2 sat
-C is mostly O compared to sanz and severinghaus -> so it’s the oxygen
When is an enzymatic electrode used in ABG?
Glucose concentration!
-glucose oxidase is attached to electrode -> hydrogen peroxidase that is generated by enzyme degradation creates a current that is proportional to BG concentration
Sanz electrode
measures serum pH
-sanz is shorter than severinghaus, pH is shorter than Co2
-H+ permeable membrane -> as H ions cross membrane -> generates current proportional to pH
Severinghaus electrode
measures serum CO2
-CO2 sensitive glass membrane surrounded by bicarb -> as CO2 crosses membrane ->equilibration w/ bicarb -> H ions in solution detected by electrode
-sanz is shorter than severinghaus, pH is shorter than Co2
Vaporizer output
Output = (carrier gas flow * SVP) / (barometric pressure - SVP)
Vaporizer compensation for temperature changes
10-40 C by using bimetallic strip
-it has 2 diff metals against each other that bends w/ temp changes
-when cold -> strip moves to increase the flow in, and when warm moves to decrease the flow into the vaporizer
-when you’re cold you want more heat!
Treatment of LAST

1.5 cc/kg inital dose -> if doesn’t work, give it again
-then infusion .25 cc/kg/min
Nerve gas sarin MOA
AChE inhibitor -> atropine is the treatment
Difference b/w mature and immature ACh receptors
mature: at NMJ two α, and one each of β, δ, and ε subunits
immature: extrajunctinal and consists of α, β, δ, and γ subunits
Neostigmine immediately after succ
inhibits AChE, but also inhibits pseudocholinesterase -> prolong succ

common gas outlet
To figure out how much des is needed at higher altitude
- calculate partial pressure of des = % x barometic pressure at sea level -> 5% x 760 = 38
- calculate w/ the new barometric pressure = partial pressure agent / barometric pressure -> 38 / 500 = 7.6%
Urgent warfarin reversal emergency
prothrombin complex concentrate
Fat/Blood coefficient order of inh anesthetics
Sevo (48) > iso (45) > des (27)
-needs to be considered at the end of the case to determine how long it will take to pull the gas from the fat into the blood
vessel rich group/blood solubility coefficient for inh anesthetics
iso = sevo = des = 2
CNS/blood solubility coefficient
sevo (1.7) > iso (1.5) > des (1.3)
Oil:gas solubility coefficient inh anesthestics
iso (90) > sevo (50) > DES (19)
-potency! -> b/c more hydrophobic, so needs less in CNS (b/c hydrophobic there)
thermodilution cardiac output measurement effect if injectate solution is colder than programmed injectate temp
underestimate
thermodilution cardiac output measurement effect if injectate volume is larger than programmed
understimate
Underestimation of thermodilution cardiac output
- larger volume of injectate than programmed
- colder temp of injectate volume than programmed
- large volume of fluid is administred during a reading
- self-measuring Ti probe is warmer than actual injectate temp
Overestimation of thermodilution cardiac output
- injectate bolus is smaller than programmed
2.injectate temp is warmer than programed - self measuring Ti probe is colder than actual injectate temp
OR fire triad
- Ignition source: bovie, lasers
- oxidizing agent: O2, N2O
- fuel: prep, drapes, gowns, gauze
To minimize the risk of airway fire, what changes can you make with your ETT?
Change it -> laser safe (non-PVC based) ETT
-fill ETT cuff w/ solution containing saline and methylene blue -> prevents ignition and allows easy identification of inadvertent damage
What ultrasound-guided central venous cath is a compressible, and relatively low risk of infection, thrombosis, and PTX?
Axillary
-but higher risk of brachial plexus injury
what part of the brachial plexus surrounds axillary artery
lateral, medial and posterior cord
How does heliox work?
70-30 or 80-20 helium-oxygen
-helium has a lower density than nitrogen -> converts turbulant flow to laminar flow to increase the O2 that is being delivered to alveoli
Reynolds number
Re = (density x velocity x diameter)/ viscosity
>4,000 -> flow is turbulent
< 2,300 -> flow is laminar
-so if you replace density of N w/ helium -> changes turbulent flow to laminar
Critical temperature
temperature above which a gas can no longer be converted to a liquid w/ increasing pressure alone
-ex: nitrous oxide exists in a gaseous state at standard temp and pressure -> when inc pressure and placed in E cylinder -> converted into liquid form as long as temp is less than 36.5 C
Relationship b/w resistance in airway and airway radius
R = 1/r ^ 4
-dec in airway radiance lead to exponential inc in airway resistance

PAO2 = FiO2 x (Patm - PH2O) - (PaCO2/RQ)
-used to determine PAO2 for A-a gradient
Normal A-a gradient
< 10
-higher indicates ventilation/perfusion issue

TRALI
-supportive care -> give O2, intubate if needed
-symp usually w/i 6 hrs of transfusion
**separates from acute hemolytic which would happen in MINUTES*
Cause of TRALI

Type I
IgE -> urticaria, bronchospasm, anaphylaxis
difference b/w skin reactions in Type I and type IV hypersensitivty reactions
type I: hives, immediately occurs after exposure
type IV: delayed T-cell mediated, appears 1-4 days after contact -> appears like eczema w/ vesciles -> lichenified, dry, crusted
Type II hypersensitivity reaction
