57
Q

What causes ischemia?

when the abdomen is insufflated with CO2 and the organs can be visualized with viewing scopes through small incisions

A

laparoscopic surgery

59
Q

Why is Co2 used in laparoscopic surgeries?

maximal inhalation + maximal expiration

A

vital capacity

64
Q

amount of air left in the lungs after maximal expiration

A

residual volume

65
Q

Why is a large residual volume beneficial?

68
Q

refers to volume of breathing that occurs over a one minute period

A

Post operative nausea and vomiting

89
Q

head up position in the OR

A

reverse trendelenburg

90
Q

narrowing

A

stenosis

91
Q

temporary lack of blood flow to the brain. “mini stroke”

A

transient ischemic attack (TIA)

92
Q

A

tachyphylaxis

93
Q

swelling

A

turgidity

94
Q

A

urticaria

95
Q

sudden onset of hypotension and/or bradycardia

A

vagal response

96
Q

what are the common causes of the vagal response?

A

stimulation of the vagus nerve, needle sticks, sight of blood

97
Q

how do you treat a patient experiencing a vagal response?

A

dose the patient with anticholinergic drug (atropine or robinul) to increase heart rate

98
Q

normal every day breathing

A

negative pressure ventilation

99
Q

why is it called negative pressure ventilation?

A

when the diaphragm contracts, the intrathoracic pressure becomes negative. causes air to move from an area of higher pressure to enter the lungs “lower pressure”

100
Q

this is when the diaphragm is forced open with positive pressure

A

positive pressure ventilation

101
Q

positive pressure ventilation is referred to as _____

A

mechanical/ control

102
Q

negative pressure ventilation is referred to as ___.

A

spontaneous

103
Q

Name the volatile agents used in the OR.

A

isoflurane, sevoflurane, and desflurane
