Anesthesia for Beginners
The system we depress in our patients during anesthesia that depresses all other systems
Central Nervous System
ET portion of EtCO2
End Tidal
The name of the blood pressure monitor that only uses a cuff.
Oscillometric blood pressure
When a portion of the body is numbed but the patient stays conscious
Local anesthesia
Change in arterial wall that results in hypotension
vasodilation
Period of anesthesia is considered the most risky
Recovery
Draw a capnograph waveform showing cardiac oscillations.
See white board.
The name of the monitor that shows the plethograph.
SPO2, pulse oximeter, or the oxygen saturation.
Characterized by several different modes of activity or occurance
Multimodal
What VPC stands for
Ventricular Premature Complexes
How we assess anesthetic depth (3 part)
Palpebral reflex, pupil placement, and jaw tone.
The ideal value for InCO2
Zero
This monitor is best used to diagnose a cardiac arrhythmia.
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
Existing simultaneously with and usually independently of another medical condition
Comorbid
Portion of blood pressure that a doppler will read
Systolic
Ideal pupil placement in an anesthetized patient
ventromedial
Can result in respiratory acidosis.
Hypercapnia (hypoventilation)
On the Midmark Multiparameter monitor, the ECG, the SPO2, and the blood pressure reading each give us this value
Heartrate
_______ should continue for as long as the pain continues
Analgesia
Equation for Cardiac Output
CO=HR x SV
State II
The movement of particles from a high concentration to a lower concentration until equilibrium is reached.
"Many factors increase risk of death, but only one -___________- has been proven to decrease the risk of death."
