Question
Answer
What is the most accurate method of ,easuring core temperature?   show
🗑
show Nasopharynx  
🗑
What is the definition of hypthermia?   show
🗑
show Core temperature greater than 38 degrees (100.4)  
🗑
show Through basal metabolic rate  
🗑
True/False: The body's core temperature may vary with environmental changes.   show
🗑
show Hypothalamus  
🗑
What is the only natural internal source of heat?   show
🗑
show In proportion to their metabolic rates.  
🗑
show 500%  
🗑
show Through catabolism of brown fat cell by the newborn  
🗑
How does heat flow?   show
🗑
show Radiation (from warmer to cooler)  
🗑
What account for 25-35% of heat loss?   show
🗑
show Conduction  
🗑
True/False: Almost all patients receiving an anesthetic become hypthermic unless they are actively warmed.   show
🗑
Anesthetic cause a drop in temperature due to what?   show
🗑
show 1-1.5 degrees C (primarily caused by core-to-peripheral redistribution)  
🗑
Why would hypothermia during surgery be planned?   show
🗑
What are the most common times planned perioperative hypothermia would occur?   show
🗑
What effect does hypothermia have on the brain?   show
🗑
show extreme ages, female, room temp, length/type of surgery, cachexia  
🗑
show platelet function is reduced and clotting cascade is slowed; blood loss is increased  
🗑
show Elimination of injectable drugs is prolonged; Duration of anesthestic agents are prolonged  
🗑
What impact does hypothermia have on wound healing?   show
🗑
What causes Malignant Hyperthermia?   show
🗑
What does MH cause?   show
🗑
What population is MH more common in?   show
🗑
show Succinylcholine, ALL volative inhalation agents, d-Tubocurarine, IV potassium if given rapidly  
🗑
What are POSSIBLE MH triggers?   show
🗑
What are safe anesthetic agents to use with patients at risk for MH?   show
🗑
show Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Central Core Disease, Myotonia, Myopathies  
🗑
What is the most reliable way to diagnose MH?   show
🗑
What is a test that can help identify potential for MH, but is unreliable?   show
🗑
What are EARLY signs of MH?   show
🗑
What are LATE signs of MH?   show
🗑
show Immediate discontinuation of anesthesia and surgery, 100% Oxygen, Dantrolene  
🗑
How do you reconstitute Dantrolene?   show
🗑
show 2.5mg/kg up to a total of 10 mg/kg body weight. May exceed if syndrome not under control  
🗑
show Initiate patient cooling, maintain fluid and electrolyte balance, and monitor cardiac output  
🗑
Once MH is under control what is treatment for the patient?   show
🗑
How may a Duchenne muscular dystrophy patient present if not identified as at risk for MH?   show
🗑
How do you treat a muscular dystrophy patient who was given succs or a volatile inhalation agent and is symptomatic?   show
🗑
show Thyrotoxicosis has no muscle rigidity, little to no acidosis, and no myoglobinuria.  
🗑
In what disease that mimics MH is dantrolene of little or no value?   show
🗑
show Mannitol and steroids  
🗑
show Myelogram  
🗑
show jerking of muscles in legs progress to whole body tonic activity and leads to seizures and hyperthermia  
🗑
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome occurs in patients taking what?   show
🗑
What is the treatment for Neuroleptic melignant syndrome?   show
🗑
