Q

Nitrous oxide and closed spaces

A

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is 35x more soluble that nitrogen in blood so N gets trapped in air spaces. When giving N2O, it will enter space faster than N can get out, rapidly expanding. So contraindicated for intestinal obstruction, pneumothorax, eye surgery where they inject gas(no use for 30 days), ear surgery, VAE, COPD(can rupture

Q

N2O on blood

Q

phase I block

A

Sux(2 ACh) bind to post synaptic membrane and cause depolarization. Because it is not degraded by acetylcholinesterases, it stays in the NMJ causing continuous depolarization and relaxation

Q

phase II block

A

W/ increasing doses/repeated doses, sux can cause phase II block. Continuous activation of AChR leads to ongoing Na into cell, K out but if it occurs long enough, post synaptic membrane will move towards normal anyways because increased activity of Na-K ATPase pump resulting in prolonged block

NMB in hpyerparathyroidism

A

instead of decreasing NMB like you’d think, hyperparathyroidism can lead to antagonized effects of NMB so doesn’t last as long

A

all but halothane down SVR so down MAP. Halothane down CO so down MAP. HR up at 0.25 MAC iso, 1 MAC des and 1.5 MAC sevo. Rapid increase in des can cause rapid up HR and bp as well. All depress myocardial contractility. Sevo can prolong QT.

Q

T compensation variable bypass vaporier

A

metallic strip. T up then up vapor pressure so strip closes over volatile containing chamber more so less fresh gas flow passes volatile and more is bypassed.
