Lidocaine is an antiarrhythmic
What is the function of silver sulfadiazine (silvadene)
Antimicrobial
Typically used in topical form for burn treatments
A patient undergoing a procedure while under general anesthesia begins to experience muscle rigidity, followed by tachycardia, metabolic and respiratory acidosis and cardiac disrhythmias. What is the patient experiencing?
Malignant hyperthermia
Local anesthetic containing epinephrine should never be used in which areas
Digits, penis, tip of nose because they are all areas of decreased vascular supply
What type of anesthetic is injected during a bier block
Lidocaine (Xylocaine)
List in order the sequence of induction for general anesthesia
Leads placed on the patient
Patient is prompted to breathe 100% oxygen
Induction agent is given through an IV
Patient is intubated
Anesthetic gas agent is selected and applied
Following administration, most of the drugs are converted to less active or inactive substances called
Metabolites
What type of anesthesia is a combination of inhalation and intravenous drugs
Balanced
