| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Ideally in a patient under anesthesia | The PaO2 should be high, the PaCO2 should be low |
| The small O2 tank that attaches to the anesthesia machine is labeled as what type of tank | E |
| Which affects the solubility coefficient of an inhalant anesthetic | Body temperature |
| When is the negative pressure relief valve important | If there is a failure of O2 flow through the system |
| Which is used for direct BP monitoring | Aterial catheter |
| Which reflex should be present in patients under anesthesia | Corneal |
| Which noninvasive method assesses ventilation, cardiac output, pulmonary perfusion and systemic metabolism | Capnograph |
| Which blood vessel would NOT be used to assess a patient's pulse | Aorta |
| Blue MM's in an anesthetized patient would be caused by all EXCEPT | Anemia |
| Which is NOT an acceptable means of treating hypotension in an anesthetized patient | Increase (turn up) inhalant anesthetic |
| Which would be contraindicated when treating hypercapnia in an anesthetized patient | Increase (turn up) vaporizer setting |
| At minimum, the anesthetist should record a patient's physiologic parameters in the anesthetic log | About 5 minutes |
| The pulse oximeter measures the | The % of hemoglobin that is saturated with O2 |
| Which is the MOST important factor when monitoring anesthesia | Anesthetist |
| What is generally considered to be the minimum acceptable heart rate in an anesthetized canine patient | 60 bpm |
| What is generally considered to be the minimum acceptable heart rate in an anesthetized feline patient | 100 bpm |
| In an anesthetized patient, mean arterial pressure (MAP) should be maintained above what value | 60 mmHg |
| The stimulus to breathe is due to rising levels of which molecule in the blood | None of these |
| At both light and deep planes of anesthesia, a patient's eyes are in a position | Central |
| Which is NOT a location where a pulse oximeter sensor can be placed | All of these can be used |
| Which statement regarding diastolic BP is FALSE | It can be accurately measured with a Doppler unit |
| Which statement regarding Doppler BP monitoring is true | All of these |
| Which component is NOT part of a non-rebreathing circuit | CO2 absorber |
| Which would NOT be included in the daily preanesthetic check of the machine | Calibrating vaporizer |
| You have a 40 kg patient scheduled for an anesthetic procedure. What should the O2 flow rate be during maintenance | 2 L/min |
| The safest way to transport a large high-pressure tank is by | Using a hand cart or dolly |
| All inhalant anesthetic machines should have | A WAG scavenger |
| How often should the anesthetist apply lubricant to the eyes of an anesthetized patient | About 90 minutes |
| How long should a normal pt be allowed to breathe 100% O2 after a procedure before being disconnected from the machine | 5 minutes |
| Which statement regarding MAC is true | It is inversely related to the agent's potency |
| Which would you expect with administration of an inhalant anesthetic | Reduces systemic vascular resistance |
| Which statement regarding N2O2 is true | Has lowest solubility coefficient of agents discussed in this class |
| What is the function of the vaporizer | All of these |
| A non-rebreathing system is best for use in patients weighing > 15kg b/c it minimizes dead space | False |
| A semi-closed rebreathing system allows excess gas to exit the system via pop-off valve or return to pt via CO2 absorber | True |
| O2 flow rates for a non-rebreathing system are lower on ml/kg basis than those used for a rebreathing system | False |
| N2O2 decreases the MAC of other inhalants via the 2nd gas phenomenon | True |
| Precision vaporizers achieve controlled vaporization through temperature & pressure compensation | True |
| In the USA, isoflurane is labeled for dogs & cats | False |
