🗑
Concerning EEG Activity (Decreased blood flow to the brain)   Loss of amplitude, Increase in slow wave activity,Loss of fast activity  
🗑
Anesthetics can cause ___ on the EEG   decreased frequencies, slowing  
🗑
BIS monitoring values and meaning   100-85 (Awake; memory intact),85-65 (Sedation),65-40 (General anesthesia; deep hypnosis),<40 (Cortical suppression)  
🗑
BIS useful because it may   Decrease incidence of awareness,Reduce costs(Less drug),Faster awakening,Less total hospital time  
🗑
Evoked potentials   Evaluate integrity of neural pathways by monitoring response to stimulus,Electrical potentials are generated in response to stimulation of a peripheral or cranial nerve, Potentials are recorded as they travel from periphery to the brain  
🗑
A Damaged pathway on an evoked potential will   Will show decrease in amplitude(intensity of response) of waveform and prolonged latency (length of time from stimulation time until it reaches the brain)  
🗑

🗑
What is an oxygen analyzer   measures the o2 being delivered to pt; never set the alarm to lower than 28-29%; mandatory for general anesthesia  
🗑
Pulse oximetry measures what   % of hgb saturated with oxygen  
🗑
How does a pulse ox work   uses light emitting diodes with 2 wavelengths of light transmitted through tissues. Oxy hgb absorbs more Infrared and Deoxy absorbs more Red light.  
🗑
Beer-Lamberts Law   used to related concentration of a solute to the intensity of light transmitted through a solution  
🗑
CarboxyHgb affects pulse ox how ?   results in falsely high readings because carboxy hgb absorbs red light identically like oxyhgb  
🗑
Methemoglobin affects pulse ox how   will always give an 85% (because it absorbs red and infrared in equal ratio 1:1) pulse ox reading, therefore it may be falsely high or falsely low depending pt’s true ox saturation  
🗑
