Quiz 8 (Greg Study Guide) Flashcards
What intrinsic laryngeal muscles adduct the vocal cords?
lateral cricoarytenoid, transverse arytenoid
What muscle moves the eyes laterally/abducts?
lateral rectus
What extrinsic laryngeal muscle aids in swallowing?
inferior pharyngeal constrictor
What kind of approaches can you use for a peribulbar block?
superior temporal, medial, inferior temporal
What are some ways to prevent ETT fire during ENT procedures?
deliver minimum O2 concentration necessary (30%); for unavoidable open O2 delivery, deliver 5-10 L/min of air under drapes to wash out O2; stop O2 at least 1 minute before electrocautery/laser, coat head hair and facial hair with water soluble lubricating jelly, suction oropharynx with metal cannula to catch leaking O2 and N2O
What intrinsic laryngeal muscles relax the vocal cords?
thyroarytenoid and vocalis
What muscle moves the eye upward/supraducts and is located above the eye?
superior rectus
What is a consideration when surgeons are using a laser in the throat?
limit FiO2 to less than 30%
What extrinsic laryngeal muscle causes inversion of the aryepiglottic fold?
thyroepiglottic
What extrinsic laryngeal muscles draw the hyoid inferiorly?
sternohyoid, thyrohyoid
Why might you do a peribulbar block versus a retrobulbar?
patients at risk for globe puncture (high myopia, significant enopthalmos, previous scleral buckling procedures, staphylomas)
What nerves provide sensory innervation to the larynx?
SLN internal (branch of vagus)- above vocal cords, RLN-below vocal cords, glossopharyngeal- superior epiglottis and base of tongue
What muscle moves the eye nasally/adducts?
medial rectus
What should you ensure before extubating after a tonsillectomy?
that throat packs have been removed, airway has been suctioned, and patient is fully awake
What is the oculocardiac reflex?
trigeminal-vagal reflex generated by pressure on the globe, orbital structures, or conjunctiva, or by traction on the EOMs- results in bradycardia, dysrythmias
What are some ways to minimize blood loss during ear surgery?
epinephrine containing solutions, elevation of patients head (but increases risk of VAE)
If using nitrous, how soon should it be stopped before graft placement?
30 minutes
