Q

how does sodium bicarb administration effect LV contractility, preload, intracranial, lactate

A
  1. bicarb increases calcium so increases LV contractility
  2. its hypertonic so increases preload due to increase intravascular volume
  3. increases lactate
  4. can cause intracranai hemmorhage (due to number 2 )

Q

how do u interpret increased platuea pressure vs increased peak pressure

A

increased platuea pressure = decreased pulm compliance (TRALI, pulm edema etc.)

increased peak pressure = increased airway resistance (kinked tube, asthma, bronchospasm etc)

Q

A
  1. decreasing sensitivity of the post junctional membrane to depolarization
  2. increasing skeletal muscle blood flow which augments NMBA
  3. depression of upper motor neurons

Q

when minute ventilation exceeds fresh gas flow how will that affect fio2

A

fio2 will be lower because u are rebreathing exhaled gases and therefore less O2

Q

if you have paraplegic patient how will the TOF differ between hand and foot nerve stims (if the foot is paralyzed)

A

the foot will have a increased TOF ratio due to ach receptor build up in the muscle of the paralyzed limb

25
during forced exhalaiton where does emptying occur first and where does airway closure occur first
emptying of the apex first | forced airway closure of the base of the lungs first
26
when ABG are corrected for colder temperatures how does that affecr pao2 paco2 and pH
paco2 and pao2 will be lower, pH will be higher
27
why do barbituates have higher concentrations of of free active moleculres in renal failure
less barbituate bound to protein
28
how long is the half life of albumin
half life is 2-3 weeks | which is why PT is a better measure of liver synthetic function as factor 7 has a short half life.
29
during fasting what organ uses ketone for energy
brain uses ketones other parts of the body uses fatty acids
30
switching from spontaneous ventilation to mechanical ventilation does what in obese patients
reduces oxygen consumption
31
bezoid- jarisch reflex is what
essentially bradyardia, hypotention, apnea
32
why do you have hypocalcemia in esrd
kidney cant convert to active form of vitamin D so u have low calcium
33
hematologic effects of hyperthyroidism
thrombocytopenis and anemia think CHF is possible and so u have dilution
34
what acid base derrangement will u see with cyanide poisoning
AG acidosis
35
why is the mivacurium dose only slightly increased in burn patients
burn patients usually require higher dose of paralytis because have upregulaton of acH receptors but mivacurium is metabolized by pseudocholinesterase which is decreased in burn patients
36
how does FRC change with heigh and age
greater the high greater the FRC | older patients have greater FRC due to loss of elasticity
37
fastest uptake IO sites of insertion
manubrium > humerus > tibia
38
benefits of acute normovolemic hemodilution
1. decreased blood viscosity ---> 2. decreased vasicular resistance 3. increased CO 4. increased regional blood flow
39
what electrolyte abnormalities does hyperventilation cause
tink ur blowing shit off hypocalcemia hypokalemia hypophosphatemia
40
what explains why NO has a more rapid onset than desflurane despite NO being more soluble
the concentration affect of NO
41
what is the hering nerve
branch of glossopharyngeal nerve that transmits info from carotid body (chemoreceptors) and carotid sinus (baroreceptors) **carotid body baroreceptors increase ventilation when paO2 is low, this reflex is impaired with opioids, benzos, volatile anesthetics + b/l carotid endardectomy
42
what are the 3 ways co2 is transported in the blood
dissolved co2 bicarb carbonic compounds
43
in lumbar / low thoracic epidurals what 2 respiratory factors are DECREASED
peak expiratory pressure | cough strength
44
how is roc excreted
30% renally excreted and then the rest is through hepatic uptake
45
fresh frozen plasma does NOT have what two factors
factor VII | factor II
46
if patient with hemophilia A has antibodies formed against factor 8 how do u treat hemorrheage or surgery
porcine factor VIII Factor VII or Factor II
47
which drug has the lowest pka and highest fraction of nonionized drug at physiologic pH
alfentanil
48
what phase of diastole delivers the highest volume of blood
early rapid filling
49
most common complication following autologous blood transfusion
infection from improper storage
50
why will FFP help with heparin resistance
heparin binds to anti thrombin 3, people that have a deficiency will have resistance to heparin FFP contains antithrombin 3
51
why NOT use ffp for hemophilia A
ffp does contain factor 8 but very little levels, other blood products have a a greater concentration of factor 8
52
most common complication of jet ventilation
hypercarbia because u ont have controlled exhalation? other complications include: hypoxia, loss of airway, impaired cilliary function --> necrotizing tracheobronchitis
53
how does solubility of gases and partial pressure of gases differ between warmed and cooled blood
partial pressure of paO2 and paco2 is higher I warmed blood, so that means that dissolved gas is lower in warm blood because its more soluble in cold blood
54
how does low flow anesthesia increase risk of PONV
rebreathing of CO and acetone aka noxious gases
55
how does burn injury cause increased platelet aggregation
increased fibrinogen which is an acute phase reactant
56
eccrine vs apocrine sweat glands pathway
eccrine glands symthatetic pre ganglioninc > nicotinic receptor > sympaththetic post gang > muscarinic receptor apocrine is found I perineal area and armpits: symthatetic pre ganglioninc > nicotinic receptor > sympaththetic post gang > adrenal gland
57
how can can hypothermia lead to metabolic acidosis in neonates
they have hella brown fat, non shivering thermoregulation leads to metabolism of brown fat and metabolic acidosis
58
decribe how bicarb changes in aucte vs crhonic respiratoy acidosis
assuming norma paco2 is 40 and normal bicarb is 24 in acute every 10 paco2 causes a change of bicarb by 2 in chronic bicarb changes by 4
59
what is the most reliable sign of uterine rupture
non reassuring fetal heart rate patterns
60
mechanism by which tetany leads to twitches
accumulation of calcium in the presynaptic membrane that will lead to a slightly higher acH release
61
what class of drugs can cause increase gastric pH withn an hour
H2 blockers ranitidine has shortest onset, and longer duration of action famotidine has the longest half life H2 blockers increase gastric pH and decrease gastric volume
62
what leads are the best for monitoring atra
1. lead II | 2. lead V1
63
what substances will reflect US beams the least
substances with most water content will be blakcer and reflect the beams the least
64
is thyroid hormone binding ratio increased or decreased in primary hyperthyroidism
increased only TSH is decreaed in primary hyperthyroid
65
wandering baseline artifact on EKG is due to waht
moving patient, lose electrodes, poor skin contact
66
what class of drugs is most commonly associated wtih PERIOPERATIVE anaphylaxsis
neuromuscular blocking agents
67
how and why do u adjust dose of benzos and opioid in severe burn patients
severe burn patients will have hypoalbumin whihc increases the free fraction of benzos and opioids so u should reduce the dose
68
what is the pathiophysiology behind delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction
recipient antibodies to donor minor RBC antigens like rhesus, kidd, or kell
69
Bayes theorum
helps determine preop testing algoriths ike people who have ___ need TTE beforehand type of thing conditional probability
70
what will cause a larger degree of overlap between IJ and carotid when placing central line
over rotation of patient heads beyond 45 degrees
71
if someone has polycystic kidney disease what vessel issue do u have to be cautious for
can have aneurysms, esp for cerebral berry aneurysms. which can be an issue if patient is positioned in steep Tberg
