exam 1 Flashcards
(512 cards)
ENT goal:
Balance ______ relaxation with _______ recovery
DEEP relaxation
RAPID recovery
painful/very stimulation (deep)
short cases (rapid)
ENT
muscle relaxation ___________ paralytics
withOUT
Goals of ENT
preventing fire
minimize blood loss (highly vascular)
specialized techniques
relax the muscle withOUT paralytics
deep but rapid
maintain CV stability
preventing postop airway obstruction
3 types of ET tubes for ENT surgery
RAE
anode
laser tube
ENT
ET tube
Cuffed, uncuffed (rare)
Sometimes difficult to fit, due to BEND
Helps make it less obstructed for the surgeon
The bigger the tube, the further out from the mouth
Nasal tube is good for dentists
RAE (oral or nasal)
ENT
ET tube
Flexible, good at bending, can create knots, resists kinking
However, can be occluded easily with biting (without mouth block)
anode (armored, reinforced)
ENT
ET tube
Metal impregnated tube, reduces risk of fire
However, markings are covered if you wrap it, so need to line it up with another tube; use breath sounds
laser tubes
Most LAs are _______-based
amide
3 drugs used for ENT
LAs
anticholinergics (secretions)
steroids (prolong LA, reduce edema + PONV)
ENT have a high risk of _______
PONV
which ENT case has the highest risk of PONV
middle ear procedures
8th cranial nerve
to decrease blood loss by reducing MAP, while STILL MAINTAINING cerebral and systemic autoregulation
deliberate hypotension
deliberate hypotension
Maintain MAP ≥ greater than or equal to ___
60
true or false
deliberate hypotension
patients with HTN may need HIGHER MAP
true
could need 65 or 75
true or false
deliberate hypotension can be done without aline, unless using nipride
true
2 surgeries for deliberate hypotension
o Extensive dissections
o Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS)
drugs used for deliberate hypotension
Nipride (always use an a-line)
o Dexmedetomidine
o Esmolol
o Nitroglycerin (NTG)
o Nicardipine
o Remifentanil
o Propofol
risk of deliberate hypotension
postop vision loss (irreversible)
laser surgery types (4)
CO2
Nd: YAG
Ho: YAG, KTP
argon
laser surgery drawback
most surgical fires are related to this
What are the 3 biggest concerns with laser surgery)
1) Eye protection (patient + staff)
2) Plume dispersion (viral papillomas); can cause ETT to be dislodged
3) Fires
which ETT is best for fires
laser tube, metal impregnated
safety with laser surgery
matte finish
inflate cuff with methylene blue
shield tissue with wet gauze
suction plume
if patient needs O2 AND needs to respond to verbal commands, do this for O2
deliver minimum amount of O2 (30% or less)
if needed above 30%, deliver 5-10L/min of air under drapes to washout excess O2
stop O2 >1 min before laser use
use adherent incise drape
keep towel edges far away
coat facial hair with jelly
use bipolar
do not use electrocautery to cut into trachea
