(scom)LADIG
``` Laryngoscopes (and blades) Airways (nasal,oral, LMA, ETT) Drugs IV pole (and clamps) Gloves and Goggles ```
26
How do you know suction is strong enough?
It will stay suctioned to your thumb
27
Where does the ETCO2 connect in circuit?
port closest to pt
28
What is the amount an adult reservoir bag holds and how much does a child bag hold?
adult: 3L child: 1L
29
What airway rescue device must be on every cart?
ambu bag
30
What is the numeric value we should look for with the BIS monitor for general anethesia?
40-60
31
What is the BIS monitor based on and what does it tell us?
EEG waveform-helps us to know pt is adequately unaware
32
What are two things to check on the laryngoscope before use?
light works bulb is tightly screwed in
33
How to size nasopharyngeal airways
Avg female/short male--6 Avg Male/tall female-7 Tall male-8
34
When do you not use an LMA?
pts with risk of aspiration | -does not protect the trachea from aspiration
35
What are indications for an LMA
- -rescue intubation for difficult mask and failed intubation - -alternative to ett in appropriate pt - -conduit to ETT (some LMA's help with intubation
36
What are the most common sizes of LMA's?
3,4,5
37
What 5 things should be written on a label?
``` name of drug concentration date drawn up time of day drawn up ---(all ok for 24hrs except prop=6hrs initials ```
38
When is it ok to not label a drug?
if drawing up for immediate use | (i.e. atropine for bradycardia)
39
How many IV poles do you need and why?
2 IV poles with clamps - one for IV pump - one to hold up surgical drape
40
Which 7 drugs are good to have prepared before a case?
``` Versed Fentanyl Lidocaine Anectine Diprivan Ephedrine Neosynephrine ```
41
How do you reconstitute Neosynephrine to 100mcg/ml? 1st dilution
10,000 mcg/ml - --take 10ml NS vial and remove 1 ml - -add the 1ml of 10,000mcg/ml to vial (10,000/10=1,000)
42
How do you reconstitute Neosynephrine to 100mcg/ml? 2nd dilution
Using a 10ml syringe - take a new bottle of NS and remove 9ml - take the diluted vial of Neo and remove 1ml and place in the 9ml syringe of NS (1,000/10=100mcg/ml)
43
List the four type of airways needed when setting up a room and there most common sizes
Oral (8,9,10mm) Nasal (6,7,8mm) LMA (3,4) ETT (7.0, 8.0)
44
List the functions of IV access
- -Admin of anxiolytics, induction/maintenance/ emergent agents - -Admin of antibiotics, electrolytes, blood - -Fluid Resuscitation - -Blood sampling for venous labs
45
What is the smallest gauge IV recommended for blood administration?
18 gauge
46
What 3 things should ALWAYS be done regarding IV in preop?
--assess pt for IV access issues before taking to OR room --visually inspect IV started by another provider --make sure IV flows freely before taking into OR room
47
List complications of IV insertion
``` Infiltration Hematoma Air embolus Phlebitis/ thrombophlebitis Extravascular/ intraarterial injection Medication error ```
48
List contraindications of IV access
- -Massive edema, burns, injury in extremity - -Severe abdominal trauma (place in upper ext) - -Infection/ cellulitis - -Indwelling fistula - -Lytics - -??Mastectomy
49
List things to consider for IV consideration
Ease of access Use of non-dominant extremity Avoid joint locations Avoid lower extremeties
50
What is the location of the intern vein?
portion of the cephalic vein in the region of the radial styloid
51
What things should you consider when selecting a lower extremity vein?
- -Lower ext veins tend to collapse and are difficult - -Not ideal for placement - -Can be more painful than upper extremity Any vein in the foot large enough to accept catheter is ok to use
52
What are the landmarks for locating the EJ?
Originates near the angle of the mandible and courses over the sternocleidomastoid muscle Proximal to the clavicle
53
What are the predictors of difficult IV access?
- -Dehydration/intravascular depletion - -Chronic illness w/ venous scarring - -IV drug use - -Obesity - -Significant edema, burns - -Tortuous fragile veins - -Thin vessel walls
54
What are techniques for promoting vasodilation?
- -Tourniquets/BP cuff - -Warming - -Topical anesthetics - EMLA cream - SQ Lido 27-30g
55
How do you thread a difficult IV?
