QBank 3 Flashcards
(145 cards)
- Sedated patient unresponsive to stimulation with regular breathing; tears from her eyes:
a. Light plane of general anesthetic
- Ellis classification tooth fractures when enamel, dentin, and pulp involved:
a. Class III
Ellis classification I–fracture within enamel; II–fracture of enamel-dentin; III–fracture involving pulp; IV–fractures involving the roots
- Obstructive vs Restrictive lung disease.
- Obstructive lung disease – a decrease in the exhaled air flow caused by a narrowing or blockage of the airways, which can occur with asthma, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis.
- Restrictive lung disease – a decrease in the total volume of air that the lungs are able to hold. Often, this is due to a decrease in the elasticity of the lungs themselves or caused by a problem related to the expansion of the chest wall during inhalation.
- Effect of Aortic stenosis in MAP?
a. Decrease
At very beginning, aortic stenosis will cause decrease in MAP. this wil lead to compensatory overactivity of heart in short term via sympathetics, while in the long term there will be hypertrophy of left ventricle. these will lead to increase force generation whixch will lead to increased pressure in left ventricle and bringing the MAP towards normal. but as always, compensation is never complete
- Why is Versed the quickest acting benzo?
Most lipid soluble
Because Versed is water soluble it does NOT need Propyl Glycol as carrier (as Diazepam does) and is therefore less irritating to the vein, but its lipid solubility accounts for quick onset)
- Muscle relaxant used in renal pts?
a. Atracurium
Atracurium is a widely-used non-depolarising neuromuscular blocker causing muscular relaxation. It has a short duration of action (20 minutes) because of stability only in cold, acidic environments. It degrades rapidly in the body and so is independent of liver and renal elimination. This is of value in patients with dysfunction of these systems.
- Lethal rhythm most commonly seen in cardiac arrest pts?
a. V-fib
- Drugs that cause Methemoglobinemia?
a. Prilocaine >600mg
• Tx-Methylene Blue 1-2mg/Kg IV
The blood supply to the inferior turbinates:
a. Segment supplied by ethmoidal artery off ophthalmic artery
- What could be damaged during an inferior meatus antrostomy?
a. Nasolacrimal duct
- The most common rhythm seen in cardiac arrest?
a. V fib
- Which form of TMJ noise has the best prognosis?
a. Early opening, late reciprocal click
- What happens to serum Ca, PO4 levels s/p removal of parathyroid glands?
a. Remove glands then calcium (down) and PO4(up)
- Disruption of the BBB?
a. Disrupted by severe HTN, tumors, trauma, strokes, infection, marked hypercapnia, hypoxia, and sustained seizures.
- Cerebral Perfusion Pressure is the difference between?
a. MAP and ICP.
CPP less than 50 mm Hg shows cerebral slowing
CPP between 25-40 mm Hg flat EEG
CPP less than 25 mm Hg will result in irreversible brain function
- Diazepam exerts a synergistic effect when administered concurrently with
a. cimetidin, eerythromycin, diltiazem, verapamil, ketoconazole and itraconazole
Caution is advised when midazolam is administered concomitantly with drugs that are known to inhibit the P450 3A4 enzyme system such as cimetidine (not ranitidine), erythromycin, diltiazem, verapamil, ketoconazole and itraconazole. These drug interactions may result in prolonged sedation due to a decrease in plasma clearance of midazolam.
- Tooth in the infratemporal fossa after cautious attempt at removal what next?
a. close, ABX, Wait 4-6 weeks and attempt again after triangulating with radiographs
- Moebius Syndrome.
a. Moebius Syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by lifetime facial paralysis. People with Moebius Syndrome can’t smile or frown, and they often can’t blink or move their eyes from side to side. In some instances, the syndrome is also associated with physical problems in other parts of the body. Two important nerves - the sixth and seventh cranial nerves - are not fully developed, causing eye muscle and facial paralysis. The movements of the face - blinking, lateral eye movements, and facial expressions are controlled by these nerves. Many of the other 12 cranial nerves may also be affected, including the 3rd, 5th, 8th, 9th, 11th and 12th.
- Fixed unilateral pupil LEAST likely cause:
a. CN II injury
- What joins the maxillary vein to from the retomandibular vein?
a. Sup temp V.
- Between what two fat pads does the inferior oblique muscle run?
a. The IO muscle runs between the nasal and middle fat pad
• There are two upper and three lower fat pads
- Which pharyngeal flap is indicated when there is good lateral wall movement?
a. Superior base pharyngeal flap
- What is the most common postop problem assoc with tracheostomy?
a. Tracheal stensosis
- What is the primary elevator of the palate?
a. levator veli palatini
