What type of intubation is preferred with emesis with aspiration?: ETT. LMA or combitube acceptable. 3. What emergency would a cricothyrotomy typically be performed?: Airway obstruction 4. Atropine would be given in which emergency?: Symptomatic bradycardia 5. Adenosine would be given in which emergency?: SVT 6. Amiodarone would be given in which emergency?: V. Tach 7. What medications can be given for a sever case of hyperventilation?: - Versed, Valium, or Propofol 8. PVC's are treated with which medicine?: Lidocaine 9. Epi is given in which two emergencies?: V. Fib and asystole 10. Max dose of epi for cardiovascular disease pt: .04mg 11. A beta blocker would be given in which emergency?: Hypertension 12. A fluid bolus of NS and ephedrine can be given with what emergency?: - Hypotension 13. What medications are used to treat malignant hypothermia?: Dantrolene, IV cold saline (not Ringer's) 14. Nasopharyngeal airway: When tongue is obstructing airway. Tube is lubricat- ed and passed through the nose into nasal cavity. Sits in oropharynx behind tongue. Well tolerated and can be used on awake pts. 15. Oropharyngeal airway: Also placed to position tongue in more anterior posi- tion. Often interfere with intra oral procedures. Not tolerated well with awake pts. 16. Laryngeal mask airway (LMA): Device that sits over top of larynx. Can be placed blindly. Does not protect against aspiration. Inflated with 30cc to create seal. 17. Endotracheal intubation: End of tube passes through vocal cords and termi- nates half way between vocal cords and bifurcation of trachea. Important to listen to both lungs after placement. May or May not be cuffed. 18. Combitube: Generally used for specific emergencies. Both cuffs inflated. 19. Pts predisposed to bronchospasm: Allergies, asthma, copd, bronchitis 20. Bronchospasm: Generalized contraction of smooth muscles of small bronchi and bronchioles in lungs causing restriction of air flow of air to and from lungs. DAANCE: all modules 21. Maximum dose of epi for healthy pt: .2mg 22. Liver: Protein and lipid synthesis, bio transformation, detoxification and stor- age of vitamin A, E, D, K, and B12. 23. Causes of seizures: Liver failure, renal failure, sickle cell disease, brain tumor, meningitis, previous stroke and hypo-hyperglycemia. 24. Medications to treat seizures: Tegretol, Klonopin, Neurontin, luminal, Dilan- tin, depacon 25. Main function of kidneys: Maintain volume and composition of body fluids. Body's main source of filtration and excrete metabolic end products and toxins. 26. Islets of langerhans: Located in pancreas. Secrete insulin and glucagon. Insulin helps the body store sugar to keep glucose levels in a steady state. 27. Adrenal glands: Secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine. Controls elec- trolyte balance and carb metabolism. 28. Thyroid: Regulates body's basal metabolic rate. 29. Pterygoid plexus: Network of veins corresponding to 2nd and 3rd parts of maxillary artery 30. Olfactory nerve: 1st cranial nerve that controls smell 31. Optic nerve: 2nd cranial nerve that controls sight 32. Internal jugular vein: Drains much of blood from head and neck 33. Purkinje fiber system: Causes muscles of heart to contract. Spreads impulse rapidly along heart muscle. 34. Brachiocephalic artery: Branches into right common carotid in neck and right subclavian artery in arm. 35. Hematocrit: % blood volume made up of red blood cells. Men: 42-52% women: 37-48%. Anything below 35% considered anemic. 36. Mental artery: Supplies blood to chin. 37. Ischemia: Reduced blood flow in coronary arteries. Lack of oxygen to heart cells weakens, but does not kill them. 38. Maxillary artery: Supplies blood to maxilla, teeth,
