        Help!  

Question
Answer
show Improved post op analgesia, decreased PONV, Less respiratory depression, decreased blood loss, decreased risk thromboembolism,  
🗑
Contraindications to regional anesthesia include?   show
🗑
Scolosis consists of what type of deformity?   show
🗑
show Cobb angle: Surgical correction formed for angles greater than 50 degrees.  
🗑
show Impaired development of pulmonary vasculature, pulmonary HTN  
🗑
show Decreased compliance, decreased ventilatory response to CO2 can lead to arterial hypoxemia and hypercapnia causing respiratory failure.  
🗑
Scoliosis of spine and rib cage deformity lead to what pulmonary conditions?   show
🗑
show PHTN  
🗑
show Posterior approach done in prone positing, carefully pad pressure points. Anterior approach done in lateral positioning.  
🗑
show Cervical ROM, neurological symptoms during flexion, extension, rotation.  
🗑
show prone  
🗑
show Supine  
🗑
Thorocolumbar laminectomy positioning?   show
🗑
show Paraplegia feared, wake up test, neurphysiologic monitoring: SSEP MEP electromyography  
🗑
show Proper positioning, use of intra-op blood salvage, induced hypotension, intra-op hemodilution, antifibrinolytics.  
🗑

🗑
Diagnosis of visual loss post spinal surgery includes?   show
🗑
Shoulder/Upper arm surgery stretch injuries from excessive rotation/flexion include?   show
🗑
show "Beach chair"  
🗑
show Hypotension, bradycardia. This can be decreased by gradual positioning to beach chair, hydration, and atropine if necessary.  
🗑
show A tourniquet cannot be used because significant blood loss can occur  
🗑
show Interscaline supraclavicular block, a combined regional general. Toradol should also be considered to reduce opiod requirements.  
🗑
Most reliable block for elbow surgery?   show
🗑
show Median, ulnar, radial, musculocutaneous  
🗑
show Pneumothorax  
🗑
show Carpral tunnel release  
🗑
show Double tourniquet, more extensive surgery, no postoperative analgesia  
🗑
Pre-existing medical conditions common with a hip surgery include?   show
🗑
Hip position for total hip surgery?   show
🗑
Advantages of fracture table for femur fractures?   show
🗑
Hip fracture complications pre-op?   show
🗑
Pre-op hypoxia for pt's undergoing hip surgery may be due to what conditions?   show
🗑
show Central neuraxial blockade  
🗑
Spinal considerations for hip surgery/position?   show
🗑
Complications with spinal?   show
🗑
What fracture is associated with the most blood loss?   show
🗑
What fracture is associated with the least blood loss   show
🗑
Deliberate Hypotension with GA can do what to blood loss?   show
🗑
What can be used to induce hypotension to decrease surgical blood loss?   show
🗑
Complications associated with total hip arthroplasty?   show
🗑
Treatment for venous thromboembolism following total hip?   show
🗑
Minimally invasive arthroplasty benefits?   show
🗑
show Spinal/epidural/propofol infusion. LMA most often used. Epidural catheter withdrawn at end of case.  
🗑
Knee arthroscopy positioning/anesthesia considerations?   show
🗑
Total knee arthroplasty complications?   show
🗑
Considerations for using a tourniquet for a total knee arthroplasty?   show
🗑
Total knee regional anesthesia considerations?   show
🗑
show Higher block than is needed.  
🗑
What type of regional anesthesia is considered for a total knee?   show
🗑
show Lumbar plexus block combined with sciatic block reduces opiod requirements/side effects. Pt can be DC home with indwelling femoral catheter to provide analgesia for up to 48 hours.  
🗑
show Regional anesthesia advantageous over GA.  
🗑
show Femoral nerver and sciatic nerve  
🗑
More advantages of regional anesthesia for ankle block?   show
🗑
Disadvantages of ankle block?   show
🗑
show Lower pain scores, better knee flexion/improved joint mobility, faster ambulation, shorter hospital stays.  
🗑
show Reattachment of a completely severed body part, revascularization to reestablish blood flow through a severed body part.  
🗑
Anesthesia management for microvascular surgery?   show
🗑
show Long cases pt must lie completely still  
🗑
Replacement of blood/fluid loss for microvascular surgery?   show
🗑
How to improve blood flow through anastomoses during microvascular surgery?   show
🗑
Determinants of microvascular perfusion pressure?   show
🗑
show Phenylephrine  
🗑
Drugs used in microvascular surgery to preserve blood flow anastomoses?   show
🗑
Things to avoid during microvascular surgery?   show
🗑
Prior to inflation of tourniquet what needs to be done?   show
🗑
show Tournequet ischemia, this can be prevented by proper cuff size/inflation pressure  
🗑
Adequate tourniquet pressures?   show
🗑
show time range 30 min to 4 hours  
🗑
Inflation greater than 2 hours needs? What are the dangers of greater than 2 hours?   show
🗑
The tourniquet can cause damage to?   show
🗑
Deflation of a tourniquet can cause what complications?   show
🗑
show Aching pain, dull, restless  
🗑
show A delta/C fibers (AC for air conditioning) HA HA HA! 45 minutes it take for pain to appear  
🗑
