Review deck Flashcards
The circle of Willis is made up of
vertebral & internal carotid flow
Normal ICP is
5 to 15
Calculation of CPP is
CPP= MAP-ICP
CVP may be substituted for ICP
Increased CPP causes cerebral _________
vasoconstriction limiting CBF
Normal CPP is
80-100 mmHg
* consider what you would need to keep MAP at to achieve this
CBF remains constant at a MAP of
60-160 due to autoregulation
Total volume of CSF is
150 mL
The role of CSF is to
protect CNS from trauma
The Monro-Kellie hypothesis:
blood, CSF, and brain tissue are in a state of volume equilibrium such that any increase in volume of one of the cranial constituents must be compensated by a decrease in volume of another to prevent a rise in ICP
Cushing’s triad:
irregular respirations
hypertension
bradycardia
If a cerebral aneurysm rupture occurs, give ______ for brain protection
propofol
Adverse effects of Mannitol include
acidosis
pulmonary edema
Avoid giving this drug to patients with head trauma
ketamine
_______ is a good drug to give for patients with burns who have to undergo repeat dressing changes
ketamine
If a patient is on phenytoin, a NMBD will
last longer
Describe the sensitivity of VAE monitoring from most sensitive to least sensitive
TEE precordial doppler ETCO2 PAP CVP MAP
A concern with intubating a patient with maxillofacial injuries is
putting a breathing tube into the brain
-can also cause sinusitis & meningitis
For a patient after pituitary tumor removal who develops diabetes insipidus, treat with
vasopressin or desmopressin
This treatment can be used for vasospasm and ruptured cerebral aneurysm
triple H:
hypertension (SBP 160-200 mmHg)
hemodilution with Hct 33%
hypervolemia with CVP >10 mmHg
Considerations for neuro surgery include:
do not give benzos preoperatively
want them to be able to wake up early to participate in neuro exam
keep ETCO2 at 30
Describe the following as 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th degree burns: very painful extends to bones & ligaments destruction of epidermis may result in contractures
painful-2nd
bones & ligaments-4th
destruction of epidermis- 1st
contractures-3rd
Describe the rule of 9’s to estimate percent burn of patient.
head- 9% arms- 9% each legs-18% each torso- 18% each groin- 1%
Treatment for CO poisoning includes
100% fiO2 & hyperbaric chamber
CO has _________ affinity for hemoglobin as ______ and shifts the oxygen dissociation curve ______
200 x
O2
