CPAN ACTUAL CERTIFICATION PAPER
2026 QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS FULL
SOLUTION.
Ramsay score 6. Ans: Asleep: no response to a light glabellar tap or
loud auditory stimulus
Dexmedetomidine. Ans: Alpha2 agonist/benzodiazepine that
provides sedation and analgesia without respiratory depression, may lead
to bradycardia and hypotension, can be used to treat postanesthesia
shivering
Fixed Chest Syndrome. Ans: bronchial constriction and chest wall
rigidity triggered by rapid IV injection of fentanyl
treatment: succinylcholine (subclinical dose)
Sufentanil. Ans: 5-7x stronger than fentanyl,
Urinary output goal for patient with MH. Ans: 2mL/kg/hr
, Sevoflurane. Ans: Causes Respiratory depression and rapid
emergence
Rocuronium. Ans: Short acting neuromuscular blocking agent
(NMBA)
Vecuronium and Atracurium. Ans: Intermediate acting
neuromuscular blocking agent (NMBA)
Pancuronium. Ans: Long acting neuromuscular blocking agent
(NMBA)
Bupivacaine vs Ropivacaine. Ans: Ropi: less cardiotoxic and
slightly less effect on motor nerves than bupivacaine.
Atypical pseudocholinesterase. Ans: Causes a delay in metabolism
of succinylcholine, pt may need prolonged ventilator support
Propofol effect on vitals. Ans: decreases BP (more pronounced in
elderly), decreases cardiac output, HR unchanged
Midazolam effect on vitals. Ans: decreases BP, increases HR,
decreased SVR, increases workload of heart
