The First Task

Clearly, you did not go to Berkeley for chemistry!

100

This drug can be use pre-operatively to reduce incidence of surgical site MRSA infection in patient underwent CABG

Intra nasal mupirocin

200

These 4 drugs are used when moderate hypothermic circulatory arrest is performed for an aortic arch replacement

Steroid, manitol, barbiturates, propofol

300

This is the amount of protamine that is sufficient to neutralize 100 units of heparin

1mg

400

This condition can occur if the critically ill patient is given sodium nitroprusside is given in large doses for several days. Manifestation including severe acidosis and elevated SvO2

Cyanide toxicity

500

This drug should be given to patients with end-stage lung cancer who are PD-L1 positive

Pembrolizumab

I know exactly the management that could have spared her!

100

This is the first maneuver that should be attempted when cardiac distention is noted upon cross-clamp application

Make sure the XC is fully across the aorta

200

This medical condition or state is one of the main cause for post bypass bleeding secondary to platelet dysfunction beside pre-op ASA or anti-platelet therapy

Uremia

300

This maneuver can be used effectively to tamponade bleeding from a tracheal-innominate fistula

Utley maneuver

400

This condition can occur if a patient is given normal saline in large volumes over a long period of time, despite their cardiac function

Hyperchloremic acidosis

500

This condition is a rare complication after pneumonectomy, presenting with severe hypotension. A patient who has this condition should be placed operative side up and brought back to the OR for operative repair

Cardiac herniation

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air

100

In intubated patients with hypercarbia, these two maneuvers will help with reducing pCO2

Increase TV & RR

200

In very high-risk patients that are being considered for anatomic pulmonary resection, this testing is the most specific predictor of post-operative complication

CPET

300

These are the two most common complications from CT-guided bx of a lung nodule

PTX (15%) and hemothorax (1%)

400

This is the most sensitive predictor of a successful ventilatory wean

Rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI) < 100 breaths/min

500

In patient being evaluated for lung cancer, these two criteria define when a lymph node on PET/CT should be sampled

>1cm and SUV >2.5

Oh baby, baby how was I supposed to know

100

This is the most common type of esophageal atresia - tracheoesophageal fistula

Type C (EA with distal TEF)

200

This malignancy occurs most commonly in young patient population, with a characteristic “onion peel” appearance on imaging

Ewing’s sarcoma

300

This is the most common form of congenital diaphragmatic hernias

Bochdalek’s hernia

400

This is the most common type of VSD

Type II - perimembranous

500

These are the two systems used to classify the types of Truncus Ateriosus

Collett-Edwards, Van Praagh

He Who Must Not Be Named

100

This Jewish cardiothoracic surgeon first described a maneuver in 1974 that can be performed by any bystander in respiratory distress patient secondary to obstruction

Henry Judah Heimlich

200

This German surgeon, who was the first to describe an abnormal gait resulting from a defective hip abductor mechanism in 1897, also described a bedside maneuver to assess cardiac volume

Friedrich Trendelenburg

300

These 2 historic figures were the first to develop a device that is used to monitor cardiac function in 1970

Jeremy Swan & William Ganz

400

This Swedish radiologist described a technique in 1953, later named after himself, to obtain safe access to blood vessels

Sven Ivar Seldinger

500

This good-looking British physiologist, who was born in 1866, along with his colleague Otto, describes the law of the heart as cardiac output is dependent on the size of the heart chamber

Ernest Starling
