AORN PERIOP 101 COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED SOLUTIONS
SET TWO
◉ Low viscosity non-electrolyte fluid is used for. Answer: •
Gynecological and urological procedures
• Used with monopolar instruments
• Hypotonic
• Can cause transurethral resection syndrome if large quantities are
absorbed
◉ Examples of Low viscosity non-electrolyte fluids include. Answer:
o 1.5%glycine
o 5% mannitol
o 3% sorbitol
◉ Normal saline is used:. Answer: • bipolar instruments
• Isotonic
• Contains electrolytes
• Safer than non-electrolyte fluids if large amounts are absorbed
◉ High-viscosity fluid used as:. Answer: • Plasma volume expander
,• Can draw six times its own volume into the bloodstream
• Has a high glucose content
◉ High-viscosity fluid can cause significant complications such as:.
Answer: o Fluid overload
o Heart failure
o Pulmonary edema
◉ Type(s) of High-viscosity fluid include:. Answer: Dextran
◉ Benefits of robotic surgery include:. Answer: • Precision o
Surgeon hand, wrist, and finger movements control the movements
of the scope and the thin, lightweight robotic instruments within the
patient's body.
• Flexibility
o Robotic instrumentation may have more flexibility and range of
motion than the human wrist.
o Each instrument performs a specific task (eg, coagulation, cutting,
retraction).
• Efficiency o The instrument's quick release from the robotic arm
allows for faster instrument changes during surgery.
• Safety
,o Safety features built into the robotic system prevent inadvertent or
independent instrument or arm movements that may harm the
patient.
◉ Energy-generating device safety practices include:. Answer: • Use
the lowest power setting possible.
• The person controlling the hand piece is the only person who
should operate the foot pedal.
• Only use trocar systems that protect the patient from errant
electrical current.
• Inspect instrument insulation before, during, and after use.
• Use a scanning device during the sterilization process to ensure
the instrument's insulation is not compromised.
