Test 2 Study Guide Flashcards
What is the best method to avoid perioperative heat loss?
Forced air warming
What mechanism facilitates heat loss through air currents?
CONVECTION
Evaporative heat loss results from
fluid loss through the skin and respiratory system
Conductive heat loss occurs when
direct contact between cold and warm objects.
Radiation involves the
transfer of heat from infrared rays.
Convective heat loss requires
currents and is dependent on thermal gradients.
Phase I
To avoid the initial drop in body temperature pre-warm the patient with aforced-air warming blanket.
Phase II → To avoid heat loss during
Phase II, all other warming methods in combinationare use
What mechanism results in the greatest amount of heat loss in the operating room?
RADIATION (60%),
When is body temperature loss the greatest?
The greatest amount of heat loss occurs during the 1st hour in the operating room (0.5-1.5C).
Patients lose most heat through
radiation from their exposed skin to the surrounding cold environment.Thereafter temperature decline is gradual and then plateaus
Most critical factor for heat loss during anesthesia and surgery ?
Operating room temperature
Most body heat is lost by 2 processes
RADIATION and CONVECTIOn from the skin and surgical incisions
One of the best ways to minimize body heat loss during anesthesia and surgery ?
Increase OR room temperature
Padding the patient everywhere prevents heat loss by what routes?
Padding serves as insulation and prevents heat loss by convection and radiation
Responsible for the metabolism of the Largest portion of drugs in the body
CYP450
CYP 3A4 comprises
40-50% of the system’s metabolizing capabilities
The hepatic microsomal enzymes are present with the greatest degree of metabolism occuring in the
HEPATIC SMOOTH ER, GI, kidneys, adrenal cortex
4 medications all metabolizes by CYP450
Phenytoin, ethanol, barbiturates and Ketamine,
The hepatic microsomal enzymes of the p450 system are generally confined to the
Smooth Endoplasmic reticulum
Where is the primary location of hepatic microsomal enzymes?
Hepatic smooth endoplasmic reticulum
The only process that does not involve the cytochrome P450 pathway is
HYDROLYSIS
Common substrate for phase II conjugation reactions:
Glucuronic acid
Glycine
Acetic acid
Sulfuric acid
Methyl group
CYP2D6 substrate ->
Codeine ; Oxycodone ; Hydrocodone
