how is most heat lost under GA? second most heat lost how?
Radiation
convection
how much can shivering increase O2 consupmtion? what is the clinical significance?
400-500% increased risk of MI and infarction
E. temp probe should be how deep
38-42cm past incisors, temp will increase if advanced too far into the stomach and will be too low if not advanced far enough
does skin temp correlate wtih body temp?
no
how can hypothermia affect autonomic nervous system
hypothermia can cause SNS stimulation
drugs to treat shivering
meperidine
clonidine
dexmedetomidine
O2 consumption decreases how much for every 1 degree decrease in body temp
5-7% decrease in O2 consumption for every 1 degree decrease in body temp.
how far to insert rectal thermometer
8cm in adult
3cm in child
what is the most reliable core temp? what can make it less accurate?
PA
CPB and thoractomy can affect this
how would a properly execute regional block affect skin temp?
will increase skin temp from SNS blockade and associted incraes in blood flow from the relative increase in PNS activity
waht does LASER stand for?
light
amplification
stimulated
emission
radiation
what three things are unique about lasers?
monchromatic
coherent
collimated
long laser wavelengths penetrate deep or shallow? why?
long wavelength absorb more water so the do NOT pentrate deep
short laser wavelengths penetrate deep or shallow? why?
short wavelengths absorb less water and penetrate deep
CO2 laser can damage what part of the eye?
cornea
lasers besides CO2 can damge what part of the eyee?
retina
what color proteective lense for each kind of laser?
CO2 clear
Nd:YAG Green
Ruby Red
Argon Amber
is laser refelctive tape reccomended?
not anymore
what laser resistent tube is best for CO2 laser?
laser flex
what laser resistent tube is best for Nd:YAG?
lasertubus
what is used to cool laser tip and what is the clincal implication?
gas may be used to cool the tip, this creates risk for gas emoblus espcially during laparascopic uterine surgery.
do laserresistent tubes reduce risk of fire with electrocautery?
no
laser eye protection points for patients?
avodi petroleum based lubes
cover eyers with saline soaked gauze
CO2 laser typically used for?
orpharyngeal and vocal cord surgery
