🗑
Pt’s will lose their _________________ to prevent neuromuscular injuries   show
🗑
show breath sounds  
🗑
show hypotension  
🗑
show Anesthesia blunts the compensatory SNS reflexes that would normally minimize the BP changes associated with position changes

In the supine position, how is FRC decreased?   show
🗑
show left side  
🗑
show alopecia, pad back of head  
🗑

🗑
show Trendelenburg  
🗑
Activation of baroreceptors caused by Trendelenburg position manifests what clinical conditions?   show
🗑
Which position causes increases in ICP by decreasing venous drainage, increased IOP (pt with glaucoma), and increased risk of aspiration?   show
🗑
show chemical pneumonia caused by aspiration during anaesthesia, especially during pregnancy  
🗑
show nerve injuries  
🗑
show compression of lateral aspect of fibula head (improper padding against stirrups)  
🗑
Common peroneal nerve damage manifests as?   show
🗑
An increased risk of injury in lithotomy position (including ischemia and edema) occurs at ____ hours.   show
🗑
T or F. Lithotomy position can auto transfuse up to 500cc of blood.   show
🗑
T or F. Lithotomy position does not impair ventilation.   show
🗑
show Femoral nerve injury  
🗑
show decreased sensation on anterior thigh and inability to flex your hip  
🗑
Lithotomy position can cause injury to which nerves?   show
🗑
Nerve injury caused by excessive flexion of the thigh to the groin?   show
🗑
show Saphenous Nerve  
🗑
show Sciatic Nerve  
🗑
Compression of the lateral aspect of the legs at the head of the fibula against the stirrup supports causes which nerve injury?   show
🗑
show from below clavicles to iliac crest  
🗑
Chest rolls placed properly allows?   show
🗑
In prone position, what must you do to flex knees and prevent pressure on toes?   show
🗑
show taped rolled up gauze  
🗑
show Pooling of blood in extremities Decreased preload, CO, BP, SV  
🗑
T or F. Prone position can cause increased SVR and PVR.   show
🗑
T or F. Prone position causes decreased total lung compliance and decreased work of breathing.   show
🗑
How often in prone position you must check and document the face and eyes are free of pressure?   show
🗑
show ION- Ischemic optic neuropathy  
🗑
show True.  
🗑
show True.  
🗑
show False. Reverse trendelenburg causes an increase sympathetic tone, HR and PVR.  
🗑
T or F. Reverse trendelenburg causes increased FRC and decreased work of breathing.   show
🗑
An ______ must be placed just below axilla to avoid compression of the neurovascular bundle in lateral decubitus position.   show
🗑
Which arm should you put your pulse oximeter on in lateral decubitus position? and why?   show
🗑
In lateral decubitus position mechanical ventilation favors which lung?   show
🗑
show True.  
🗑
show physiological phenomenon in which pulmonary arteries constrict a normal physiological condition in which the presence of hypoxia without hypercapnia, redirects blood flow to alveoli with a higher oxygen content.  
🗑
show True.  
🗑
show Blunting of the hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction response. Ventilation decreases in dependant lung due to decreased compliance (compression by weight of abdominal contents), perfusion increases in dependant lung (gravity).  
🗑
Normal V/Q ratio:   show
🗑
show No perfusion and alveolar dead space  
🗑
A V/Q mismatch of zero is caused by:   show
🗑
What position is used most often for posterior fossa, cervical spine, shoulder or neck surgery?   show

🗑
A venous air emboli can be detected by?   show
🗑
show False. Treatment includes giving volume but surgery must be stopped. Surgeon must flood surgical field with saline and bone wax.  
🗑
show True.  
🗑
show Fasle.Left lateral reverse trendelenburg.  
🗑
T or F. If patient has no CVP place patient in right lateral reverse trendelenburg position to prevent air embolism to enter right atrium and pulmonary circulation.   show
🗑
