Question
Answer
What is the goal of thermoregulation?   show
🗑
Vasodialation, sweating, pilorelaxation,and stretching are a response to what?   show
🗑
show Cold Temperature  
🗑
show Shivering Thermogenesis  
🗑
show The SNS- it targets the BAT (brown adipose tissue) and skeletal muscle  
🗑
What is that primary thermogenic tissue in adults?   show
🗑
show BAT (brown adipose tissue)  
🗑
show Radidation 60%, Evaporation 20%, Convection 15%, and Conduction 5%  
🗑
What type of heat is lost by photons and without physical contact with an object?   show
🗑
How is evaporation heat loss prevented?   show
🗑
In the evaporation mechanism, where is at least half of the heat lost?   show
🗑
Which mechanism is heat lost through direct contact with cooler objects?   show
🗑
show Since it's direct heat loss, put things under the pt to protect from cold OR table.(MB slide also says increase ambient temperature, forced warm air, warm solutions)  
🗑
Relating to convection which has a higer specific heat water or air?   show
🗑
Afferent tempreture sensors relate to which system Central or Peripheral?   show
🗑
show Krauses end bulb : Encapsulated receptor located in connective tissue. Range of stimulation is 15 - 25 degrees Celcius. Anything below these temps are active pain receptors  
🗑
show Ruffinis corpuscle: encapsulated receptor located in the subcutaneous tissue. range of stimulation 25-45 degrees celcius  
🗑
show Cold  
🗑
_______sensations are transmistted to the spinal cord by unmylinated C nerve fibers.   show
🗑
show Perpheral temperature sensors  
🗑
show Once the skin reaches maximum variability.  
🗑
show Neurologic and endocrine  
🗑
show SNS  
🗑
show Posterior hypothalamus  
🗑
What is the most important mechanism for transfering heat from the core to the periphery?   show
🗑
Heat transfer from blood to tissues is what mechanism?   show
🗑
show evaporation  
🗑
____causes and increase of cardiac mortality, post-op infection, and an increase in recovery time and hospital lenght of stay.   show
🗑
During hypothermia what happens to the respiratory system?   show
🗑
A body temp of 32-33 degrees celcius would lead to what?   show
🗑
A body temp of 22-24 degress celcius would lead to what ?   show
🗑
show increased HR, BP, and CO  
🗑
show atrial and ventricular irritability  
🗑
show sinus bradicardia and v-fib very likely  
🗑
show risk of v-fib very high  
🗑
A body temp of < 20 degrees C would lead to what?   show
🗑
show 7%  
🗑
MAC decreases what percentage for each degrees C drop?   show
🗑
During hypothermia what happens to uring output?   show
🗑
show Between 33-35 degrees C  
🗑
What happens to the the hematologic function during hypothermia?   show
🗑
What are contributors to intra-operative hypothermia.   show
🗑
Who loses more heat? infants or children   show
🗑
show they have a thin sub cutaneous layer of insulation and also due to large ventilatory minute volume  
🗑
True or False: Aging decreases the ability to compensate for heat loss.   show
🗑
show Tympanic- it is the closest to core temp d/t location being close to the hypothalmus.  
🗑
How long does it take to get a true axillary temp?   show
🗑
show PA catheter, mixed venous blood, but core temp can be effected by CT surgery  
🗑
What are active warming methods we utilize?   show
🗑
show heated humidifiers, gastric lavage, peritoneal irrigation, fluid warmers (can heat to 42 degrees C with out causing hemolysis)  
🗑
What are passive warming methods we can utilize?   show
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
