ANESTHESIA TECHNIQUES EXAM #2 UPDATED
ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
Question:
-monitor, evaluate, and document the patient's physiological condition as
appropriate for the procedure and anesthetic technique. When physiological
monitoring devices are used, variable pitch and threshold alarms are turned on
and audible
-document blood pressure, heart rate, and respiration at least EVERY 5 MINUTES
for all anesthetics
Answer:
AANA Standard 9 (2019)
Question:
how often are you to document blood pressure, heart rate, and respiration during
all anesthetics
Answer:
every 5 minutes
Question:
AANA standard 9
Answer:
-oxygenation
-ventilation
-cardiovascular
-thermoregulation
-neuromuscular
Question:
ASA standard I
Answer:
Qualified anesthesia personnel shall be present in the room throughout the
conduct of all general anesthetics, regional anesthetics and monitored anesthesia
care
Question:
ASA standard II
Answer:
During all anesthetics, the patient's oxygenation, ventilation, circulation and
temperature shall be continually evaluated
Question:
continuous monitoring
Answer:
at all times
Examples: HR and pulse oximetry
, Question:
continual monitoring
Answer:
at intervals
example: NIBP
Question:
ASA standards for basic anesthetic monitoring
Answer:
pulse oximetry
electrocardiography
NIBP
temperature monitor
ETCO2 measurement
inspired O2 concentration
alarms: low O2 concentration and ventilator disconnect
VOLUME OF EXPIRED GAS (STRONGLY RECOMMENDED)
Question:
oxygen analyzers
Answer:
monitors FiO2 (right before the patient in the inspiratory limb)
types:
-galvanic cell analyzers
-paramagnetic oxygen analyzers
-polarographic analyzers
Question:
Galvanic cell analyzers
Answer:
-fuel cell of KOH and 2 electrodes
-current generated is proportional to PaO2
-NO BREATH TO BREATH RESPONSE (SLOW RESPONSE 30S)
-calibrate daily at 21% FiO2
Question:
Polarographic Analyzers
Answer:
-similar to galvanic analyzers
-o2 and H2o react
-products: hydroxide and free electrons
-current generated proportional to O2
Question:
paramagnetic sensors
