Key Terms
Types of Anesthesia
General Anesthesia
Anesthetic Agents
Anesthesia Equipment
100
Immediate manifestation of a hypersensitivity to a specific substance, usually resulting in respiratory distress and vascular collapse.
What is anaphylaxis
100
Placement of a nerve conduction blocking agent onto a tissue layer. Used on mucous membranes. The tissue affected is limited to the area of contact.
What is Topical Anesthesia
100
due to uninhibited (restricted) patient movements. The period from loss of consciousness to the return of regular breathing and loss of the eyelid reflex.
What is Stage 2 - excitement or delirium stage
100
a sedative nicknamed the “milk” of anesthesia because of its milky appearance. Large doses produce unconsciousness but given small amount produces conscious sedation. It is irritating and can cause discomfort when injected. Rapid induction and emergence.
What is Propofol
100
This device monitors your blood pressure
What is A blood pressure monitor
200
A drug that blocks the action of another drug or physiologic action without producing any effect of its own.
What is an antagonist
200
Infiltration involving the injection of a nerve conduction blocking into tissues surrounding the peripheral nerve that serve only the tissue around the surgical site
What is Local Anesthesia
200
Dilated and nonreactive pupils mark this stage, as do the cessation of respiration and marked hypotension leading to circulatory failure. If uncorrected this stage leads to patient death.
What is Stage 4 - The overdose stage
200
most commonly used, administered IM or IV. Rapid induction. Muscle tone is increased, IOP increased, Salivation increased, but the major disadvantage, it causes hallucinations in recovery.
What is Ketamine
200
This device monitors your oxygen saturation levels in your blood
What is a pulse oximeter
300
Nonproprietary name for a drug that is a shortened version of the chemical name or gives a reference to the intended use.
What is a generic
300
Combination of nerve blocks supplemented with analgesics, sedatives, or amnesics.
What is Monitored Anesthesia Care or MAC
300
Surgery takes place during this phase. Anesthesia monitors the patient closely for changes in oxygen saturation, blood loss, muscle relaxation status, and cardiac status. Surgical manipulation can change any of these. So anesthesia has to adjust anesthetic levels accordingly.
What is Maintenance Phase
300
Narcotics that produce sedation. They decrease pain impluse transmission, cause euphoria or feeling of happiness. High doses cause respiratory depression. Increase muscle tone
What is Opiates
300
An ultrasound test used to visual injuries in your veins and arteries
What is a Doppler
400
liquids whose potent vapors, when inhaled, produce general anesthesia through the generalized depression of the central nervous system
What is Volatile Agents
400
Provides anesthesia to the distal portion of upper extremity by injecting a large volume of low concentration anesthetic agent into a vein at a level below a tourniquet.
What is a Bier Block
400
Also known as sellick’s maneuver is performed to reduce the risk of aspiration.
What is Cricoid Pressure
400
Sedative either used to reduce anxiety or to reduce the amount of other more potent anesthetics used. They help to relax muscles. Respiratory depression may occur. Most commonly used are valium and versed. Both of which are class 4 controlled substances.
What is Benzodiazapines
400
a device that applies an electrical current to an individual's peripheral nerves with the intention of alleviating chronic pain
What is a peripheral nerve stimulator
500
Term used to describe the entire process of the drug’s activity within the body.
What is Pharmacokinetics
500
To induce a state of diminished anxiety, sedation, and amnesia allowing the patient to retain the ability to respond to commands.
What is NEUROLEPTANGALGESIA
500
Takes the patients level of consciousness from alert to asleep. Can be carried out in two ways, by IV or by inhalation. Maintenance of the patient’s airway is critical. You may have to use an oral or nasal airway, a face mask, laryngeal mask airway LMA, or endotracheal intubation. The patients’ hearing is the last sense to be suppressed, so keep noise to a minimum.
What is Induction Phase
500
Relax smooth muscles of bronchi and stimulates contraction of peripheral blood vessel wall muscles.
What is vasoconstrictors
500
Used to measure the effects of specific anesthetic drugs on the brain and to track changes in the patient's level of sedation
What is a BIS monitor
