Questions and Answers/ Already
Solved/ Latest Update/ Verified.
Glycopyrrolate - -- Induction and intubation medication
- Can cause photosensitivity
-Craniotomy Treatment (triple H's) - -- hemodilution
- hypertension
- hypervolemia
(this forces constricted blood vessels to dilate and perfuse tissue)
-Transverse Colostomy - -soft stool
typical stool odor
stool damages the skin
empties several times per day
may or may not be at risk for fluid/electrolytes imbalances
may irrigate
-sigmoid colostomy - -- formed stool
-ileosotomy - -- high up
- liquid pasty stool
-Roux-en-Y gastric bypass - -Small pouch created from stomach
Part of small intestine (DUODENUM) bypassed
Restriction and malabsorption
-Post-op Stroke symptoms - -- double vision
- headache
- sudden dizziness
-Metoclopramide (Reglan) - -- controls post-op NV
- can have extrapyrmidal side effects like tardive dyskinesia
-Gastrectomy Interventions - -- encourage deep breaths
- and position shifts
-clonic seizure - -repetitive jerking movements
-petit mal seizure - -Also called absence attack. A seizure that is characterized by a
spike-and-wave EEG and often involves a loss of awareness and inability to recall
events surrounding the seizure.
-Tonic seizure - -sustained muscle contraction
-Emergence excitement safety interventions - -ok to use wrist restraints
, -Shivering first interventions♀️- -- anticipate order for demerol
(over warm blankets)
-Septic Shock/ Early Respiratory Distress - -- Hyperventilation
- Respiratory Alkalosis
- Elevated Lactate Levels
-Interscalene nerve block - -anesthetizes the brachial plexus as it passes through
the scalene triangle. It is used to provide anethesia for the shoulder and upper arm.
Nearly all patients will devleop transeint ipsilateral diaphragmatic parylasis due to
involvment of the phrenic nerve roots as tehy pass through the interscalene sheath.
-Complication of rapid warming - -Hypotension (rapid vasodilation can cause a
drop in blood pressure)
-Hetastarch (Hespan) - -- Volume expander, colloid
- less expensive than blood
- minimal co-ag effects
- less likely to cause allergic reaction
- metabolizes slowly
-Why are neonates not tolerant of fluid overload? - -- obligate sodium loss
- slow clearance of fluid
- inability to conserve fluid
-Medication used to treat fluid overload/ ascites in patient with Cirrhosis - -
Spironolactone
-Steal syndrome - -- Too much blood going to the fistula, leaving the hand
ischemic. Tx is with surgery or banding to decrease outflow (if high flow)
-Infant should void - -5ml/Kg/hr or at least 2-3ml/Kg/hr
-Autonomic hyperreflexia (dysreflexia) - -- Massive, uncompensated
cardiovascular response to stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system
Stimulation of the sensory receptors below the level of the cord lesion
- Associated with injuries above level T6
-TURPs - -- risk for water intoxication
- risk for hyponatremia
- s/s include: SOB, hypoxemia, confusion, nausea, vomiting, muscle twitches,
tachycardia, and hypotension
-intrarenal failure - -- direct damage to the kidneys by inflammation, toxins,
drugs, infection, or reduced blood supply
(ex..glomerulonephritis)
-orcheopexy - -procedure to correct testicular torsion
-Piaget's stages of cognitive development - -1. sensorimotor (18-24 months)
2. preoperational (24 months - 7 years)
