300
5 nerves that must be blocked at the ankle to provide complete coverage of the foot?
What is deep peroneal, superficial peroneal, saphenous, tibial, sural
400
Which volatile anesthetics require adjustments to the vaporizer when administered at high altitudes?
What is Desfluorane- the desflurane vaporizer is electrically heated to 39 degrees centigrade, which creates a vapor pressure of 2 atmospheres inside the vaporizer, regardless of ambient pressure. The number on the dial reflects the percentage that will be delivered. So at any altitude, when you dial 5%, it will give you 5%. But when that 5% desflurane leaves the vaporizer at high altitude, what is delivered to the patient is 5% of a decreased ambient pressure, so the partial pressure of desflurane in the alveoli will be much less that it would be at sea level. Thus, you will need to dial a higher concentration at high elevation to attain the same clinical effect as at sea level with desflurane (Tec-9) vaporizer
