During |a |carotid |endarterectomy, |the |final |occlusion |clamp |to |be |removed |after |anastomosis |is
|on |the

C. |external |carotid. |

During |a |routine |abdominal |hysterectomy, |the |anesthesiologist |notes |that |the |patient |is |
becoming |progressively |tachycardic. |He |notes |that |there |has |been |virtually |no |blood |loss. |The |
surgeon |requests |additional |muscle |relaxation |because |the |patient's |abdominal |musculature |is
|"tightening |up." |The |esophageal |temperature |probe |indicates |a |core |body |temperature |of |
103°F |(39°C). |The |anesthesiologist |notices |that |the |CO2 |monitors |are |alarming |with |high |
levels. |The |anesthesiologist |turns |off |his |anesthetic |agent, |hyperventilates |the |patient |with |

|malignant |hyperthermia |(MH). |Dantrolene |is |the |medication |given |to |combat |MH |(2-3 |mg/kg |
until |signs |are |controlled). |Some |signs |of |MH |are |tachycardia, |tachypnea, |hypercarbia, |muscle |
stiffness |and |rigidity, |hypoxia, |elevated |BP, |cardiac |dysrhythmias, |changes |in |CO2 |absorption, |
and |elevated |temperature.
A |pledgeted |suture |is |used |for |hemostasis |in |liver |injury |to
A. |align |the |suture |placement.
B. |add |bulk |to |the |injury |site.
C. |reduce |the |likelihood |of |suture |cut- |through.
D. |provide |traction |for |increased |exposure. |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-C. |Pledgeted |sutures |
(buttresses) |are |sutures |passed |through |a |small |patch |of |reinforcing |material |(usually |Teflon). |
This |type |of |suture |is |used |in |areas |where |the |surgeon |considers |buffering |to |be |beneficial, |
particularly |in |delicate |or |friable |tissue.
During |cardiac |arterial |bypass |grafting, |a |surgeon |needs |to |vasodilate |and |stop |arterial |spasm. |
Which |of |the |following |drugs |should |be |used?
A. |papaverine
B. |heparin
C. |protamine
D. |norepinephrine |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-A. |Papaverine |stops |spasming |and |relaxes |smooth |
muscles, |especially |those |of |large |arteries.
When |ligating |the |short |gastric |arteries, |placing |them |under |too |much |tension |may |result |in |a |
tear |of |the
A. |splenic |capsule.
B. |lesser |omentum.
C. |celiac |trunk.
D. |common |bile |duct. |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-A. |The |splenic |capsule |is |attached |to |the |short |
gastric |arteries |and |tension |would |result |in |tearing.
