VT102 Anesthesia questions and correct
answers
anesthetic masks may be used to induce, but not to maintain general
anesthesia ✔✔false; they can be used to induce or maintain
oxygen is the carrier gas used during all anesthetic procedures ✔✔true
oxygen flowmeters have an indicator that either is shaped like a ball or like
a "rotor". when setting oxygen flow, read the center of either ball or rotor
indicator ✔✔true
precision vaporizers are located in the breathing circuit so that the patient's
respiratory drive is able to move the carrier gas through the vaporizer as
the patient breathes ✔✔false; they are located out of the breathing circuit
because of their high resistance to gas flow
a semiclosed rebreathing system is a safe, practical system to use with all
patients greater than or equal to 2.5 kg in body weight ✔✔true
closed rebreathing systems are a practical and economical alternative for
both small- and large-animal patients ✔✔false; they are infrequently used
in practice, with the exception to equine and bovine, because of the
constant monitoring required
, when in use, a reservoir bag should be approximately one-quarter full at
peak expiration ✔✔false; it should be approximately at three-fourths full at
peak expiration
when using a semiclosed rebreathing system, the pop-off valve should be
kept partially open except when providing manual ventilation ✔✔true
an endotracheal tube should extend from the tip of the nose to the larynx
✔✔false; it should ideally extend from the tip of the nose to the thoracic
inlet
under the traditional system of stages and planes of anesthesia, there are
four stages, and stage IV is divided into four planes ✔✔false; the only thing
that follows in this stage is death of the patient if rapid action is not taken
physical status class P1 patients should be monitored every 5 minutes at a
minimum ✔✔true
in general, vital signs are only loosely correlated with depth of anesthesia
✔✔false; vital signs are very helpful in determining patient's anesthetic
depth
cyanotic mucous membranes are an early indicator of hypoxemia ✔✔true
abdominal breathing is a breathing pattern in which there is a long pause
after inhalation, and a short pause after exhalation ✔✔false; it is
