Openanesthesia Flashcards
The brain doesn’t need to herniate for diagnosis of
Brain death
In brain death usually have vasogenic and cytotoxic edema
Need
COMA
Apnea
No brain stem reflexes
TCA overdose
Check ECG
Give sodium bicarbonate if QRS duration > 100 ms
Carbon monoxide poisoning mainly due to
Cyanide
Give high flow oxygen
Needlestick injury
Mainly due to hepatitis B
Central line infection risk lowered with
Single linen catheter
Using chlorhexidine daily
Use of single lumen catheters
Routine dressing changes does not lower the risk
Clonidine
Alpha 2 agonist
Prolongs sensory block when added to local anesthetics
Liocaine vs lidocaine with epi
Duration to onset
Delayed when you give epi bc it lowers the pH and thus more ionized molecules
Lumbar plexus comes from
Ventral primary rami of L1-L4 with contribution from T12-L5
Nitroglycerin more of a
Venodilator than arterial dilation
Sodium nitroprusside leads to cyanide toxicity leading to
Metabolic acidosis
Desflurane less at higher altitude because
Partial pressure goes down of desflurane so have to give more
Patent duct is arteriosus
Post procedure closure can injure recurrent laryngeal nerve leading to hoarseness
From pulmonary artery to aorta
Minimize ventilator associated pneumonia by putting patient
Supine and head up
ANOVA vs T test
2 or more means vs just 2 means. Paired T test looks at the same group
Sensory above vocal cords which does tounge and epiglottis
Superior branch of internal laryngeal nerve
Glossopharyngeal nerve innervates the pharynx
Autonomic reflexives most likely if lesion is above which dermatome
T7
Headache dizzy nausea at what percent of carboxyhemoglobin concentration
Above 15%
HIT
Igg to heparin platelet factor 4 complex
Don’t give Coumadin as it can cause necrosis
Can give fondaparinux
LMWH vs UFH
LMWH is more efficious with less side effects
Amiodarone works by prolonging
Repolarization
Made side effects are Bradycardia and hypotension
Blocks calcium and potassium channels
Tirofiban
Glycoprotein 2b/3a inhibition
Hctz works in the
Distal convoluted tubule and blocks sodium chloride transporter and causes increased calcium
Severe sepsis
MAP<70
Systolic<90
SIRS
Temp heart rate respiratory rate WBC count
