trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, pulmonary alveoli
What is the most severe type of allergic reaction? correct
answer: Immediate hypersensitivity response that involves
antigen-antibody reactions (IgE)

What age group of patients will hypoxia occur much more
rapidly in? Bradycardia is a sign relating to hypoxia correct
answer: Pediatric patients
What does HIPAA stand for? correct answer: Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
A decrease in blood flow in the coronary arteries? Can
temporarily or permanently damage the heart muscle by
decreasing O2 available to the muscle cells? correct answer:
Ischemia
,If a cardiac patient just had stent placement, how long are they
required to be on antiplatelet drugs? What are the 2 drugs they
usually do together? correct answer: 1 year- Plavix & Aspirin
Type of infection that can further damage heart valves or cause
systemic infections? Requires antibiotic prophylaxis correct
answer: Subacute Bacterial Endocarditis (SBE) aka infectious
endocarditis
Atrial depolarization (contraction) correct answer: P wave
Ventricular depolarization correct answer: QRS complex
Ventricular repolarization (relaxation) correct answer: T wave
Type of disease due to excessive secretion of corticosteroid due
to a presence of a tumor or from administration of high doses of
corticosteriod drugs (ex: Prednisone) correct answer: Cushing's
disease
Chronic long-term hypothyroidism, most commonly seen in
older adults (elderly women) who have had a stroke or stopped
taking their thyroid medication correct answer: Myxedema
Most severe complication of hyperthyroidism from an OMS
perspective correct answer: Thyroid crisis
Untreated __________ are at an increased risk for outpatient
anesthesia and tend to be sensitive to epinephrine in a local
anesthetic correct answer: Hyperthyroidism
,Insulin-dependent correct answer: Diabetes Type 1
Non-insulin dependent correct answer: Diabetes Type 2
Elevated level of several liver enzymes and bilirubin is often
termed? correct answer: Elevated LFTs (Liver function tests)
What gender is Propofol more rapidly redistributed in and
require 10-15% larger dose? correct answer: Women
What age group would Propofol redistribute very rapidly, and
require at least 50% increase in drug dose? correct answer:
Children
What is a complication of N2O rapidly moving from blood to
alveoli of lungs, and displaces other gases, including O2 correct
answer: Diffusion hypoxia
Patient is not aroused, even during painful stimulation. Required
airway intervention & cardiovascular function is impaired
correct answer: General anesthesia
Can't be easily aroused, purposeful response to pain, and
requires airway assistance correct answer: Deep
sedation/analgesia
Response to verbal or light tactile touch with no compromise of
airway correct answer: Moderate sedation (conscious sedation)
, Normal response to verbal stimulation with airway reflexes,
ventiliation & cardiovascular functions are unaffected correct
answer: Minimal sedation (anxiolysis)
What drugs are given for minimal sedation (anxiolysis) correct
answer: Valium or Versed
Anesthesia that relies on the use of several agents together to
benefit from each other. Using each drug at a smaller dose than
required if it were being used alone correct answer: Balanced
anesthesia
Maximum does of Epi for a healthy patient? correct answer: 0.2
mg
What is the treatment for Malignant Hyperthermia? correct
answer: 100% O2, Dantrolene (2.5 mg/kg) and IV cold saline
(NOT Ringer's)
What emergency would a beta blocker be given? correct answer:
Hypertension
What is the maximum dose of Epi for a patient with
cardiovascular disease? correct answer: 0.04 mg
Cardiac arrest- has no rhythm or contraction of EKG correct
answer: Asystole
No discernable P, QRS or T waves noted. No pumping of blood
at all and no depolarization of the ventricles correct answer:
Ventricular fibrillation (V-fib)
