Surgery 2 Flashcards
Analgesia defintion
And examples
Pain relief
W/o loss of consciousness or feeling
Opiods
Volatile anesthetics
Anesthesia definition
Loss of physical sensation
W or without loss of consciousness
Adjuncts to anesthesia
Dexmedtiomidine
Ketamine
Ideal character of anesthesia
(4)
Short latency
Superficial penetration
Non addictive
Completely reversible
Benzos have what properties
Amnesia
Anxiolytic
What is a depolarizing muscle relaxant
Succinylcholine
What drugs can alter level of consciousness
Propanolol
Etomidate
What happens when NA channels are blocked
Impairs propagation
What type of nerve fibers are more easily blocked
Thin nerve fibers
How does bicarbonate help
Buffer to decrease the sting of non ionized particles
What does alkalinity do to local tissues
Decreases ionization which = greater effect on local tissue
MC local anesthesia in general surgery
Amides
Time of action for :
Lidocaine
Bupivacaine
Rapid 60-120 mins
Slow 20 mins to 8 hours
What does the mix of lidocaine and bupivacaine do
Rapid action that lasts
What are advantages for adding epi
Vasoconstriction causes increased duration of action
Decreases bleed
Decreases volume req’d for anesthesia
What are disadvantages to adding epi
Increaed myocardial activity
Tachy
HTN
Dysmenorrhea
Best benefit of epinephrine adjunct
Stasis
Greatest benefit of epi adjunct
Stasis ]
And prolonged duration of action
What patients should you avoid epi in
Known cardiac dz
DM
HYPERTHYROID
Distal body tissue (fingers, toes, penis, ears, nose)
Examples of hypersensitive reactions
Urticaria
Erythema
Edema
Dermatitis
Describe a hypersensitive reaction
IgE
Type 1
Within 1 hour of meds
Mgmt of hypersensitive reaction
02
Epi
Fluids
AH
Steroids
cover ABCs
Mc prodrome of toxicity
Metallic taste in mouth
Tinnitus
Light head
Dizzy
Numb mouth and tongue
Cardiac effects from toxicity
HTN to HYPOTN
Tachy or Brady
Vfib
Cardio Collapse
Severe CNS effects
Tonic clonic activity ]
Unconscious duration increase
What is the best way to avoid intravascular injury from injection
Aspirate
Max dose of lidocaine
With epi?
4mg kg or 300mg
500mg
1% of lidocaine = how many mg?
10
Onset and duration of lidocaine
2-5 mins
1/2 hr - 2 hours
Bupivicaine can not be used in what age group
Less than 12 yrs
Max dose of bupivacine
2mg/kg or 100mg
Onset and duration of bupivacaine
5-10mins
2-4 hours
Mgmt for toxicity
Persisting seizure
HYPOTN
Txt arrhythmia
STOP
BZD - seizure
HYPOTN = IV fluids
Arrythmia = ACLs
When is malignant hyperthermia mc
Volatile agents and succinylcholine
What is happening in malignant hyperthermia
TXM
Ionized ca increase
Hypermetaobold = fever tetany hyperK
TXM = bicarbonate and dantrolene
Best way to prevent toxicity
Combine small amounts
Ways to administer local anesthetic
Longer small needs
Bend @ 45 degrees
Avoid intravascular injection
Injection with withdrawal
What type of tissue can benefit from a bended needle
