Multiple Sclerosis
This type of anesthetic agent should be avoided in MS patients due to the risk of life-threatening hyperkalemia.
What is succinylcholine?
FPP is caused by inherited mutations affecting these types of channels in the muscle membrane.
What are voltage-dependent sodium or potassium channels?
Osteogenesis Imperfecta is often known by this other name.
What is brittle bone disease?
This is the most common type of scoliosis, often diagnosed during adolescence.
What is idiopathic scoliosis?
These are the three places RA primarily affects the airway.
What are the TMJ, the cricoarytenoid joints and the cervical spine?
What is aspiration?
The hypokalemic form of FPP can be induced by this.
What are glucose and insulin?
Patients with OI may exhibit this eye-related condition.
What is blue sclera?
The severity of scoliosis is determined by measuring this on X-rays.
What is the Cobb angle?
These are the hallmark symptoms of RA.
Morning stiffness that improves with activity and warm painful joints.
MS treatment focuses on modulating these types of body responses to manage symptoms.
What are immunologic and inflammatory responses?
This medication is effective for treating both forms of periodic paralysis by facilitating renal potassium excretion and creating a non-anion gap acidosis.
What is acetazolamide?
This serious injury can happen during intubation in patients with OI.
What is cervical spine fracture?
Chronic respiratory complications from scoliosis are primarily due to this type of lung disease.
What is restrictive lung disease?
These are the joints that RA most commonly affects.
What are the proximal interphalangeal and metacarpophalangeal joints of hands and feet?
MS patients may show significant disability over time due to this type of nerve damage.
What is demyelination?
This condition is indicated by skeletal muscle weakness that occurs after oral potassium administration.
What is hyperkalemic periodic paralysis?
Anesthetic agents like this one should be avoided in OI patients due to the risk of bone fractures.
What is succinylcholine?
During scoliosis surgery, these 2 types of neuromonitoring are commonly used.
What are somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) and motor evoked potentials (MEPs)?
This laboratory marker is often elevated in RA patients and indicates inflammation
What is C-reactive protein (CRP)?
This type of regional anesthesia is generally safe in MS patients, while spinal anesthesia may exacerbate symptoms.
What is epidural anesthesia?
To manage hyperkalemic periodic paralysis, this respiratory intervention can help decrease potassium levels.
What is hyperventilation?
An increase in serum thyroxine in OI patients ultimately leads to this physical manifestation that can me measured on by standard ASA monitoring.
What is hyperthermia?
Anesthetic management for scoliosis often involves this technique to reduce blood loss.
What is deliberate hypotension?
What is atlantoaxial subluxation and separation of the atlanto-odontoid articulation.
