Peak flow expiratory rate decrease
FVC , FEV1 and FEV1/FVC decrease
Increase RV
Normal diffusion capacity
Improvement of flow rate with bronchodilators
Bronchial hyper-responsiveness to histamine
Eosinophilia

118
Q

What is the treatment for Asthma?

A

Anti-inflammatory drugs

Bronchodilators

119
Q

Anti-inflammatory drugs as a treatment for Asthma would include?

A

Inhaled steroids
Systemic steroid
Cromolyn-prevents mast cell degranulation; useful for prophylaxis not for an acute attack. Also used to prevent exercise induced asthma.

120
Q

Bronchodilators for the treatment of Asthma would include?

A

Beta2 agonist -inhaled and nebulizer
Anticholinergic – atropine and ipratropium
Aminophyllin (PDE inhibitor) preprations

121
Q

Management of an Acute Asthma Attack?

A

Beta 2 agonist + steroid + ipratropium
Systemic steroid (I/ V)
Aminophylline not helpful in control of severe acute attack

122
Q

Inhaled steroid as maintenance + inhaled Beta2 steroid for symptomatic control
Add ipratropium
Consider aminophylline
Short course of oral steroid

123
Q

most serious risk factor associated with surgery during pregnancy?

A

UTERINE ASPHYXIA

124
Q

What position do you want to avoid with pregnant ladies and why?

A

Supine position due to uterine displacement causing supine hypotesion.

125
Q

Decrease in what makes pregnant ladies prone to hypoxia?

A

decreased FRC

126
Q

What diffuses the plancenta rapidly?

A

lipid soluble substances

127
Q

How will you prevent DVT during C/S?

A

prevent DVT with pneumatic compression stockings during C/S

128
Q

MOST frequent complication of spinal and epidrual? How do you treat?

A

Hypotension is the most frequent complication of spinal and epidural; treated by
Left uterine displacement, IV hydration and ephedrine

129
Q

Beta 2 agonist given to stop premature contraction?

A

Ritodrine

130
Q

S/E of ritodrine? (mom and fetus)

A

Mom: hypokalemia, hyperglycemia, tachycardia
Fetus: : hypokalemia, hyperglycemia, tachycardia (+/-)

131
Q

Why avoid atropine with ritodrine?

A

can cause tachycardia leading to pulmonary edema

132
Q

Mag sulfate and NMB, what’s the issue?

A

Mag sulf increases sensitivity to both depolarizing and non-depolarizing muscle relaxant , therefore, decrease the dose

133
Q

What does Lidocaine in high doses do to the uterus?

A

causes uterine vasoconstriction and increased tone.

134
Q

base+acid =?

A

ionized (can not cross, trapped in fetus)

135
Q

base + base =?

A

un-ionized (can cross)

136
Q

LA, base or acid?

A

weak base

137
Q

What patients are considered “full stomachs” and are high risk for aspiration?

A

pregnant ladies (also traumas but that is not for this class)

138
Q

What two medications can you give to pregnant ladies to help with their “full stomach”

A

H2 blockers and Reglan

139
Q

MC morbidities are

mother/child

A

Hemorrhage

Preeclampsia

140
Q

What medication can cross the placental barrier, making regionals the preferred?

A

Opioids

141
Q

Lumbar epidural, what is it likely to do to MC?

A

S/E hypotension

Give ephedrine and IV fluid

142
Q

Problems with GA while pregnant?

A

Rapid desaturation, laryngeal spasm/edema, aspiration

143
Q

What anesthesia/analgesia will you use for C/S

A

spinal/epidural

144
Q

Level of block for C/S is?

A

T4

145
Q

MC adverse effect of regional is hypotension, what will you give?

A

Give phenylephrine with fluid

146
Q

Most common cause of polyhydramnios is?

A

esophageal atresia

147
Q

What nerve is most commonly injured during the following surgeries/proceedures:
Abd hysterectomy
Vaginal hysterectomy
Vaginal delivery

A

Abd hy = Femoral nerve
Vag. hy = peroneal nerve
Vag. delivery = Lumbosacral nerve

148
Q

If you damage the peroneal nerve what will result?

A

Foot Drop

149
Q

Most COMMON cause of anethesia-related maternal mortality?
