A fluid bolus of NS and ephedrine can be given with what emergency? - Correct Answer
Hypotension
What medications are used to treat malignant hypothermia? - Correct Answer
Dantrolene, IV cold saline (not Ringer's)
Nasopharyngeal airway - Correct Answer When tongue is obstructing airway. Tube is
lubricated and passed through the nose into nasal cavity. Sits in oropharynx behind
tongue. Well tolerated and can be used on awake pts.
Oropharyngeal airway - Correct Answer Also placed to position tongue in more anterior
position. Often interfere with intra oral procedures. Not tolerated well with awake pts.
Laryngeal mask airway (LMA) - Correct Answer Device that sits over top of larynx. Can
be placed blindly. Does not protect against aspiration. Inflated with 30cc to create seal.
,Endotracheal intubation - Correct Answer End of tube passes through vocal cords and
terminates half way between vocal cords and bifurcation of trachea. Important to listen
to both lungs after placement. May or May not be cuffed.
Combitube - Correct Answer Generally used for specific emergencies. Both cuffs
inflated.
Pts predisposed to bronchospasm - Correct Answer Allergies, asthma, copd, bronchitis
Bronchospasm - Correct Answer Generalized contraction of smooth muscles of small
bronchi and bronchioles in lungs causing restriction of air flow of air to and from lungs.
Maximum dose of epi for healthy pt - Correct Answer .2mg
Liver - Correct Answer Protein and lipid synthesis, bio transformation, detoxification and
storage of vitamin A, E, D, K, and B12.
Causes of seizures - Correct Answer Liver failure, renal failure, sickle cell disease, brain
tumor, meningitis, previous stroke and hypo-hyperglycemia.
Medications to treat seizures - Correct Answer Tegretol, Klonopin, Neurontin, luminal,
Dilantin, depacon
Main function of kidneys - Correct Answer Maintain volume and composition of body
fluids. Body's main source of filtration and excrete metabolic end products and toxins.
Islets of langerhans - Correct Answer Located in pancreas. Secrete insulin and
glucagon. Insulin helps the body store sugar to keep glucose levels in a steady state.
Adrenal glands - Correct Answer Secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine. Controls
electrolyte balance and carb metabolism.
Thyroid - Correct Answer Regulates body's basal metabolic rate.
Pterygoid plexus - Correct Answer Network of veins corresponding to 2nd and 3rd parts
of maxillary artery
Olfactory nerve - Correct Answer 1st cranial nerve that controls smell
Optic nerve - Correct Answer 2nd cranial nerve that controls sight
Internal jugular vein - Correct Answer Drains much of blood from head and neck
Purkinje fiber system - Correct Answer Causes muscles of heart to contract. Spreads
impulse rapidly along heart muscle.
, Brachiocephalic artery - Correct Answer Branches into right common carotid in neck
and right subclavian artery in arm.
Hematocrit - Correct Answer % blood volume made up of red blood cells. Men: 42-52%
women: 37-48%. Anything below 35% considered anemic.
Mental artery - Correct Answer Supplies blood to chin.
Ischemia - Correct Answer Reduced blood flow in coronary arteries. Lack of oxygen to
heart cells weakens, but does not kill them.
Maxillary artery - Correct Answer Supplies blood to maxilla, teeth, sinuses, and portion
of nose.
Medulla oblongata - Correct Answer Coordinating region for impulses. The seat of many
autonomic centers.
Normal levels of hemoglobin - Correct Answer Males: 13-18 mg/dL
Females: 14-16 mg/dL
Oropharynx - Correct Answer Located between soft palate and epiglottis.
Facial nerve - Correct Answer 7th cranial nerve. Supplies motor fibers to muscles of
facial expression.
Trigeminal nerve - Correct Answer 5th cranial nerve. Supplies sensation to teeth and
jaws.
Vagus nerve - Correct Answer 10th cranial nerve. Supplies fibers to many parts of body.
(Ears, tongue, pharynx, larynx, thoracic/abdominal viscera).
Pulmonary veins - Correct Answer Return oxygenated blood to left atrium from lungs.
Only veins that carry oxygenated blood.
Superior vena cava - Correct Answer Drains head, neck, and upper extremities into
right atrium.
Adrenal glad - Correct Answer Secretes epinephrine, norepinephrine, and
corticosteroids.
Ectopic focus - Correct Answer Displaced central point of origin for cardiac
dysrhythmias.
Inferior alveolar artery - Correct Answer Supplies blood to teeth, mandible, lower lip,
and chin.
