ingested food and ultraviolet light; liver and kidneys

142
Q

What do the kidneys release in response to hypoxia?

A

EPO

143
Q

Describe the order of the extrinsic pathway

A

1) tissue trauma liberates TF, which activates pathway
2) TF activates factor 7 (stable), which activates factor X (SPF) in presence of factor IV (Ca)
3) prothrombin activator and platelet phospholipids activate factor II (thrombin), and factor V (labile) acts as positive feedback mechanism that accelerates the continued production of prothrombin activator

144
Q

Describe artificially active immunity

A

immunity developed from a vaccine

145

pain, hypothermia, hypoxemia, acidosis, dehydration

148
Q

What are elements of team working?

A

support, solving conflicts, exchanging info, coordinating activities

149
Q

What are the most common allergens used in anesthesia?

A

NMBs (roc and succs), antibiotics (beta lactams, sulfas, vancomycin, quinolones), latex

150
Q

What does active vitamin D do?

A

increases Ca, Mg, and phosphate ion concentrations by promoting their absorption across the intestinal epithelium to the ECF

151
Q

What medication may stimulate NK cell activity and be a good drug of choice for cancer patients?

A

tramadol

152
Q

When do you open fluids during robotic surgery?

A

A

activates plasminogen (fibrinolytic)

156
Q

What are some concerns when doing a shared airway for head and neck surgery?

A

the bed may be 90-180 away (may need second anesthesia provider to monitor ventilation), ETT will be smaller, potential for neck flexion/extension and movement of ETT, need to use circuit and line extensions

157
Q

What does prostacyclin do? How is it made?

A

powerful vasodilator that interferes with platelet formation and aggregration; derived from arachadonic acid and is synthesized by endothelial cells

158
Q

What drugs have antiangiogenic and antitumor properties?

A

COX 2 inhibitors

159
Q

What do you give someone with vWD?

A

depends on what type- desmopressin, vWF, immunoglobulins, plasma exchange
