DAANCE 2023 QUESTIONS WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
Hypoxia correct answer: Deficiency of oxygen in body tissue
Give oxygen prior to anesthesia
Laryngospasm correct answer: Reflex of vocal cords to prevent
passage of foreign material (blood/saliva).
Treatment of laryngospasm correct answer: 1. 100% O2
2. Suction
3. Administer succinylcholine (10-20mg) IV (may precipitate
Malignant Hyperthermia)
* In children, succinylcholine should be given with atropine
* Deepen anesthesia (case by case scenario)
Treatment of bronchospasm correct answer: 1. Epinepherine
1:1000 IM or Sublinugal
2. IV epinepherine 3-5mL of 1:10,000 slowly (severe)
Treatment of hyperventilation correct answer: Do NOT give
oxygen
Breathe in a paper bag
Treatment of premature ventricular contractions (PVC) correct
answer: 1. Terminate procedure
2. 100% O2
3. Start IV
4. Atropine (0.5mg) may repeat up to 3mL
,5. Lidocaine IV 1.5mg/kg up to 3 mg/kg
Infiltration correct answer: Leakage of fluid into tissue
Stop IV and start a new one
Hematoma correct answer: Blood leakage
Pressure first then moist heat
Phlebitis correct answer: 1. inflammation of a vein
2. Treatment: elevation and NSAIDS
Treatment of intra-arterial injection correct answer: 1. Activate
EMS
2. Do NOT remove catheter
3. 10cc 1% Lidocaine withOUT epi
4. Ice pack to limb
Treatment of severe hypoglycemia correct answer: 1. Activate
EMS
2. 1 amp IV glucose (50mL of 50% glucose)
3. IV infusion of dextrose (5-20% in water)
Treatment of acute adrenal insufficiency (lack of cortisol)
correct answer: 1. Terminate procedure
2. Vitals
3. Trendelenburg if hypotensive
4. Activate EMS
5. Decadron 4mg IV or IM
6. 10-20mL fluid bolus
, Treatment of malignant hyperthermia (genetic transferred
myopathy) correct answer: 1. Tachycardia is the first sign
2. Activate EMS
3. Hyperventilate 100% 02
4. Dantrolene Sodium 2.5mg/kg rapid
5. IV cold saline 15mL/kg every 15min x3
6. Cold saline lavage to stomach and bladder and rectum
Hypovolemia correct answer: Inadequate blood volume.
First sign of tachycardia and increasing hypotension
Epiglottis correct answer: Soft tissue valve at the base of the
tongue that prevents food from entering the larynx
Myocardial infarction correct answer: Necrosis of tissue of the
myocardium resulting from an interruption in blood supply
Ataractis correct answer: Pharmacologic agents producing a
tranquilizing effect
QRS complex correct answer: Element appearing on a cardiac
monitor tracing that reflects the activity that produces
ventricular contraction
Mitral valve correct answer: Valve between the left atrium and
left ventricle of the heart that lets blood pass to the left ventricle
Premature Atrial Contractions correct answer: Premature firing
of an ectopic focus in the atria producing an early contraction of
the atria
