, During mediastinoscopy the risk of air during spontaneous ventilation
embolization is greatest:
Air embolization is seen with mediastinoscopy
A. when the patient is supine as a result of the 30o elevation of the head. This
B. during spontaneous ventilation risk is increased if the patient is spontaneously
C. immediately after closure of the inci- ventilating, secondary to the negative intratho-
sion racic pressures generated during inhalation.

4. The formation of metanephrine is the
result of: catechol-O-methyltransferase metabolism of
epinephrine

Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) metab-
olizes epinephrine to metanephrine and
norepinephrine to normetanephrine. Subse-
quently, monamine oxidase (MAO) further me-
tabolizes metanephrine and normetanephrine
to vanillymandelic acid (VMA).
