The Conduct of General Anaesthesia Flashcards
what are the types if general anaesthesia
IV
gas
what are the types of IV
propofol, thiopentone
very quick
around 20 seconds
what are the types of gas
sevoflurane -halothane
common for young children
what are the planes of anaesthesia
analgesia
excitation
anaesthesia
overdose
how do you maintain the airway
head tilt, chin lift and jaw thrust
what is the face mask
contoured to face to allow tight seal
same job as jaw thrust
what is the oropharyngeal airway
rigid plastic
only tolerated when unconscious
may cause vomtting
what is a laryngeal mask ariway
cuffed tube with mask sitting over glottis
what are the complications of airways
obstruction- infective manoeuvre
laryngosams
asipration- loss of protective airway reflexed
foreign material in
what is endotracheal incubation
placement of a cuffed tube in trachea
oral use commonly used
when to incubate
protects airway from gastricc contents
need for muscle relation
shared airway with risk of blood contamination
what are risks to unconscious patietns
airway
temperature
loss of reflexes
consent
what is involved In continuing anaesthesia
muscle relaxtion analgesia fluid management documentation maintenance by iv or inhalation
what should be monitored
respiratory parameters
temp
urine output
what is involved in awakening
muscle relaxatiion reversed
resumption of spontaneous respiration
return of reflexes
