Q

Alpha stat pH correction for hypothermia vs pH stat

A

pH: temp corrected system. Aims at constant pH and adds CO2.

  • Allow faster cerebral cooling and better O2 delivery.
  • Concern for loss of auto-regulation and increases microemboli

Alpha: primary buffers Hco2 and phosphate decreased efficacy and so AMINO ACIDS = most important buffers.
- Maintains uncorrected CO2, pH at nml levels (more physiologic)

Number needed to treat

A

1/ARR

125
Q

Oxygen consumption in an adult

A

3-4 mL/kg/min

FRC = 30/kg

FRC divides by consumption times the %O2 = time of hypoxia.

126
Q

oxygen content of blood equation

A
CaO2 = (0.003 x PaO2) + (Hgb x 1.34 x SaO2)
CaO2 = arterial oxygen content (mL/dL), 
Hgb = hemoglobin (g/dL), 
SaO2 = oxygen saturation, 
PaO2 = arterial partial pressure of oxygen (mm Hg)
127
Q

OXYGEN DELIVERY:

A

DO2 = CaO2 x CO x 10

128
Q

paired t-test

A

one population with respect to two variables with numerical data

129
Q

Phase 1 metabolism.

A

oxidation, reduction, or hydrolysis.

130
Q

Phase 2 metabolism

A

conjugation

131
Q

Physiologic dead space calculation

A

(PaCO2-PETCO2)/PaCO2

132
Q

Physostigmine

A

anticholinesterase. used as a treatment for central anticholinergic syndrome.

Crosses blood brain barrier

133
Q

Point at which laminar flow becomes turbulent. And equation.

A
Reynolds number (Re) 
Re=pvd/n

p=density of fluid
v=flow velocity
d=orifice diameter
n= viscosity

<2000 is laminar flow
>4000 turbulent dlow

134
Q

possible causes of sub-ambient alarm include:

A
  • Patient inhalation against an increased resistance in the circuit
  • Patient inhalation against a collapsed reservoir bag
  • A malfunctioning active closed scavenging system (excessive vacuum or valve dysfunction)
  • A blocked inspiratory limb during exhalation
135
Q

Post op outcome for thoractomy PPO

A

PPO = Pre (remaining segments/42)

136
Q

potential allergen in local anesthetics

A

methylparaben

But main allergy is paba in aminoesters

137
Q

Pouiseullie equation

A

Q=(delta)Ppier to the fourth/8nl

Only valid for laminar flow

138
Q

precurarization dosage for any nondepolarizing agent prior to succinylcholine

A

10% of the ED95 dose

139
Q

preoptic anterior hypothalamus

A

temperature homeostasis and thermoregulation

140
Q

Prerenal AKI

A

(UOSM : POSM) >1.5
BUN:Cr >20:1
FeNa <1%

  • FENa: [(PCr x UNa ) / (PNa x UCr)] x 100.
141
Q

Propofol infusion syndrome

A
  • Rhabdomyolysis
  • metabolic ACIDOSIS
  • hepatomegaly,
  • hemodynamic instability,
  • multi organ failure.
142
Q

pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) calculation:

A

PVR = [80 * (MPAP - PAOP)] ÷ CO

  • MPAP = mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mm Hg)
  • PAOP = pulmonary artery occlusion pressure or pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (mm Hg)
143
Q

Pulse oximetry waves elevations/lower:

A
  • red 660
  • near Infared. 940

Falsely Elevated:
Methemoglobinemia, carboxyhemoglobinemka

Lower:
Blue green or black nail polish decreases reading.

144
Q

Pyridostigmine

A

Used for prophylactic treatment.

145
Q

range for differences between alfentanil and fentanyl.

A

Alfentanil has about 4 times faster onset.
Alfentanil lasts about 1/4 the duration.
Alfentanil is about 1/4 the potency (4x the dose of fentanyl).

146
Q

Ranitidine

A

Increase gastric pH. No affect on volume.

147
Q

Specificity vs sensitivity

A

Specificity TN= TN/(TN + FP) - rules in disease.
Sensitivity TP= TP/(TP + FP)- rules out
