Q

Why are high dose opioids not generally used for surgical cases?

A

Due to long postoperative intubation times otherwise they provide good stress response suppression and hemodynamic stability during surgery.

2 mg/kg

20
Q

What are the side effects of ketamine?

A
  • Dissociative anesthesia

A

TRUE

22
Q

What are the inhalational agent used?

A
  • Isofluaren

23
Q

T/F: Inhalational agent have a dose-dependent tachycardia.

A

TRUE

24
Q

T/F: Pancuronium can increase the heart rate through the nicotinic receptor.

A

FALSE

Pancuronium increases heart rate through vagolytic effect.

A

-succinylcholine

28
Q

Name a few modified induction sequences dependent on the patient and situation?

A
  • Anticipated difficult airway
  • Emergency situations
  • Decompensated state
29
Q

A
  • Remifentanil 1 mcg/kg
  • Etomidate 0.2 mg/kg
  • Succinylcholine 1.5 mg/kg
30
Q

What are some consideration of using new drug compared to an older drug that has similar effect on a patient?

A
  • Careful Patient assessment
  • Cautious Dosing
  • Fiscal restraints
  • Compatible with any type of fast tracking methods
31
Q

What should happen during the post induction period?

A
  • Confirm EtCO2, Bilateral breathe sounds, symmetric chest rise
  • Reassess the hemodynamic stability
  • Initiate maintenance
  • Simple technique used daily with varied dosages based on the patient ‘s physical status provides the most consistent results
