Q

How do you calculate BMI?

A

wt in kg/ ht in m2
(weight in kg/ ht in meters squared)

so 1inch=2.54cm
100cm in 1 m-then square number

so 60in=152.4cm/100=1.524 (squared)=2.32
so 80kg pt that is 60in = 80/2.32=34.5bmi

How do you number the teeth?
start top right with wisdom tooth=1, then go around front of teeth to top left=16, then drop to bottom left wisdom tooth=17, then around to bottom right =32 (if no wisdom, missing 1,16,17,32)
25
What type of sx places a pt at higher risk (>5% of a cardiac event?)
- aortic sx - major vascular sx - peripheral vascular sx
26
What questionnaire is used for OSA?
Stop-bang
27
duty definition
- provider - patient relationship is established - the relationship is a type of contract - we agree to services for a fee
28
How many METS is good for a pt to have?
4 or more is needed
29
No matter what type of procedure, what must be documented
basic core of information - pt info - provider info - equipment check - minimal monitors - technique - meds - I&O's - procedural data
30
What three functions does the intraoperative documentation have?
- intraoperative monitor - future reference for Anesthesia - source for quality improvement
31
What things are recorded q5m?
- VS - Meds - Fluids
32
Article overview
Results: Over a 4-yr period from 2004 to 2008, 53,041 attempts at mask ventilation were recorded. A total of 77 cases of impossible mask ventilation (0.15%) were observed. Neck radiation changes, male sex, sleep apnea, Mallampati III or IV, and presence of beard were identified as independent predictors. 19 impossible mask ventilation patients (25%) also demonstrated difficult intubation, with 15 being intubated successfully. Twelve patients required an alternative intubation technique, including two surgical airways and two patients who were awakened and underwent successful fiberoptic intubation. Conclusions: Impossible mask ventilation is an infrequent airway event that is associated with difficult intubation. Neck radiation changes represent the most significant clinical predictor of impossible mask ventilation in the patient dataset.
33
NPO guidelines
- 2 hrs CL - 4 hrs breast milk - 6 hrs light meal/formula
34
definition of anesthesia and its 3 components
-the absence or abolition of sensation (not pain) - unconsciousness,amnesia - analgesia - muscle relaxants
35
What is the first step of anesthesia and what are the 5 classifications used?
preoperative medications - opioids - benzo's - histamine blockers (pepcid) - antacids - antiemetics
36
why does succ's cause fasiculations?
the only way for fasiculations to occur=to simultaneously occupy both types of alpha sub-units post synaptically only depolarizer can do this
37
depolarizer vs nondepolarizers and how they affect muscle
- depolarizers contract muscle so it cant quickly contract again - nondepolarizers prevent contraction
38
which nondepolarizing agent is ok to use with kidney and liver dz?
cisatracurium (nimbex) -little affect on BP and HR
39
what does sevoflurane produce that can be harmful? what can we do to prevent?
``` compound A (produced by soda-lime and sevo) -at least 2L + FGF ```
40
which opioid is good to use for neuro cases?
remifentanil--quick on/off allows for quick neuro check
41
what induction agent can raise BP?
ketamine
42
how do muscle relaxant reversals work? | neostigmine
- -inhibits the enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine (which is necessary for muscle contraction) - -greater amounts of acetylcholine accumulate in muscle - -allows muscle contraction to return and reverses the muscle relaxant
43
mechanism of phenylephrine
a1 agonist =vasoconstrictor -does not affect HR or CO
44
what three things are written on a graphic anesthesia record
-description of techniques (regional) -description of events (unusual rxn/responses) -complications
45
how do you correct a mistake
- draw a simple line through and write error and initial | - correct above if room or in narrative
46
Obesity BMI
>40
47
Ketamine
- may raise BP (not lower) - hallucinogen (can give benzo to tx) - analgesia properties - increases circulating catecholamines so good for CO
48
Remifentanil
- shortest acting opioid - only as infusion - good neuro cases (quick neuro check)
49
Sufentanil
- most potent - used for intensely painful surgeries - big resp depression - can cause lead chest (tx with succs)
50
Fentanyl
-70-100x stronger than morphine
51
Morphine
- original/natural - from opium poppy - tx post op pain
52
Nitrous Oxide
- major risk PONV - works quickly/off quickly - strong analgesic properties - overuse can cause bone marrow dysfunction
53
Sevoflurane
- 2 or more L of gas flow to prevent Cmd A from being produced from sodalime and sevo - perfect for inhalation induction
54
Desflurane
- airway irritant - requires special vaporizer (warm) - NUMBER 1 used for obese pts b/c insoluble
55
Isoflurane
- potent - may increase HR - flurane breath - slightly soluble in tissues (so longer to reach equilibrium and longer to wake up)
56
Rocuronium
- quickest onset non-depolarizer | - used for RSI if no succs
57
Vecuronium
- no affect on VS (except RR) - longer duration of action in kidney and liver pts - must be reconstituted
58
Cisatracurium
- requires NO kidney or NO liver function to be broken down | - minimal affects on BP and HR
59
Succinylcholine
- only depolarizer - main one for RSI - DO NOT use for malignant hypothermia, kidney dz, muscle dz, burns, trauma, hyperkalemia
60
Etomidate
-pt may shake with injection -frequently used with critical pts (does not cause drop in BP)
61
Propofol
- major drops in BP and CO - requires caution in critical pts - lidocaine with injection for pain
62
Pre-Op benzo's
- most common is versed | - most common preop med
