GRADED A+
the use of all plastic or all metal trocars can avoid
which problem during electrosurgery? -
....ANSWER...capacitative coupling is a result of using
a metal tracer with a plastic screw anchor, which
prevents the tracer from draining its charge
(instrument can store the charge and then transmit
to tissue next time it touches something)
when using the ultrasonic shears, the entire portion
of the active blade is exposed. In order to avoid
inadvertent delivery of energy to tissue in contact
with the bottom portion of the active blade, one
should do the following: - ....ANSWER...be aware of
the contact points the blade is engaging, grab the
,target tissue and elevate it, and keep the active
blade upwards in view of the surgeon
ASA class 3 - ....ANSWER...severe systemic disease
that limits the patient's activity and may or may not
be related to the reason for surgery
initial consultation should include which of the
following? - ....ANSWER...possibility of conversion to
open surgery
which of the following is a relative contraindication
to laparoscopic surgery? - ....ANSWER...previous
abdominal surgery
which of these is NOT an absolute contraindication to
laparoscopic surgery? - ....ANSWER...bowel
obstruction (contraindications include uncorrectable
hypovolemic shock, lack of proper surgical training,
and inability to tolerate laparotomy)
which procedure may be performed using local
anesthesia alone or with mild sedation? -
....ANSWER...diagnostic laparoscopy
,important features in patient positioning for
laparoscopic surgery include: -
....ANSWER...avoidance of position related
complications, prevention of DVT, and location of
target organ
the most commonly used anesthetic for laparoscopic
procedures is general anesthesia. all of the
following are true EXCEPT - ....ANSWER...there are
fewer hemodynamic changes compared to a local
anesthetic (true answers are it allows for complete
neuromuscular relaxation, it provides good control
of ventilation, an tit allows for more flexibility of
patient positioning)
what is the most common site for initial trocar
insertion? - ....ANSWER...umbilicus
When checking placement of Veress needle, which of
the following is the most accurate method to detect
proper intraperitoneal placement? -
....ANSWER...insufflator display revealing flow of CO2
and low initial pressure
, umbilical Veress needle insertion and blind tracer
insertion is contraindicated in all of the following
EXCEPT? - ....ANSWER...previous open
cholecystectomy via right subcostal incision (correct
answers include previous left hemicolectomy
through midline incision, previous hysterectomy
through midline incision, previous Crohn's disease
with enterocutaneous fistula, and previous umbilical
hernia repair
what is the best area for alternate Veress needle
insertion relative to a midline vertical scar? -
....ANSWER...Palmer's point (LUQ)
Extra caution must be taken when placing the
Veress needle and primary trocar in the midline
such as at the umbilicus due to concerns with injury
to what organ? - ....ANSWER...Aorta (and IVC)
When should a check for venous bleeding be
performed? - ....ANSWER...during final abdominal
inspection, while releasing abdominal pressure, and
during trocar removal
