Medications for tx of allergic reactions include:
Benadryl and Decadron
True vs False: Pts with liver disease should be given higher doses of anesthetic agents.
False
An extreme allergic reaction is called:
Anaphylactic shock
In a pt in anaphylactic shock, the two most important considerations are: 1 the drop in BP, and
2:
Laryngeal edema
Which of the following are signs of a true allergic reaction?
-Itchy rash
-Vomiting
-Diarrhea
-Flatulence
-Itchy rash
Johnny's mother states he is allergic to Penicillin because he got sick to his stomach the last
time he took it. You calmly tell Mom:
No, Mom. Johnny had an ADVERSE reaction to Penicillin, not a true allergy.
Indications for patients to be on Coumadin include:
Stroke or cerebral vascular accident
An important blood aspect to inquire about in an HIV positive pt is:
T helper cell count
Your pt is in kidney failure and requires dialysis. They are on a Mon, Wed, Fri dialysis schedule.
Which day do you want to do surgery on?
Tuesday or Thursday
The optimal time for elective procedures to be performed on a pregnant pt is the:
,Second trimester
Why must you run the IV fluid through the line before administering to the pt?
To prevent air embolus.
When inserting the catheter (into the antecubital fossa), which artery is at risk?
Brachial artery
Tx of an intra-arterial injection is:
10cc 1% Procaine
The danger of an intra-arterial injection is:
Intense chemical inflammation destroying the inner layer of the artery, preventing blood supply
to the limb
Less severe venipuncture complications include:
Phlebitis and extravasation
Tx for Phlebitis includes:
Pressure, moist heat and elevation
The preferred method for starting an IV is to use:
A catheter
Which is the preferred vein for the IV site for oral surgery procedures?
Antecubital fossa
Inflammation of a vein is called:
Phlebitis
What is the preferred IV fluid?
NS (normal saline)
The stimulus for respirations is:
Increasing CO2 levels
Anesthetic agents act by:
Interfering with the depolarization of the membrane
, The main organ that processes anesthetic drugs and changes the chemical structure of the drug
is the:
Liver
The main organ that eliminates drugs is the:
Kidney
Increase in salivation is due to the stimulation of the:
Parasympathetic nervous system
Normally, a nerve cell is POLARIZED. This means:
There are more positive ions on the outside of the cell membrane and more negative ions on
the inside of the cell.
Nerves conduct impulses by:
depolarization of the nerve membrane
Increased HR and BP are due to the stimulation of the:
Sympathetic system
Your patient is really really nervous. You probably want to give this patient and anesthetic agent
targeted at:
The Center for Emotion (prefrontal cortex)
Steroids are used to:
decrease swelling and inflammation
The most rapid and effective method of administration of drugs is:
Intravenously (IV)
Benzodiazepines (e.g. Midazolam/Versed) are reversed by:
Romazicon (Flumazenil)
Atropine or Glycopyrrolate are sometimes given to:
reduce salivary secretions
Simply shutting of Nitrous Oxide and allowing the pt to breathe room air can result in:
