RBB–arterial injection leads to high brain levels via retrograde flow in internal carotid artery; CNS ___ and ___ are possible, but are usually ___ d/t redistribution
RBB–arterial injection leads to high brain levels via retrograde flow in internal carotid artery; CNS excitation and seizure are possible, but are usually transient d/t redistribution
RBB complications–injection into optic nerve sheath (which is continuous with the ___ space) leads to…contralateral ___; ___ation; ___ arrest (occurs within ___ minutes, resolves within ___ hour); vascular ___ from depressant effect on the medulla (total ___)
RBB complications–injection into optic nerve sheath (which is continuous with the subarachnoid space) leads to…contralateral amaurosis (complete lack of vision), obtundation, respiratory arrest (occurs within 20 minutes, resolves within 1 hour), vascular collapse from depressant effect on the medulla (total spinal)
