1st Degree AV Block - CORRECT ANSWER:
2nd Degree AV Block - CORRECT ANSWER:
3 types of ICP monitoring - CORRECT ANSWER: -Ventricular Catheter: inserted
through a burr hole (surgical opening into the skull
-Subarachnoid bolt: metal screw with sensor chip that is inserted through a hole drilled
into the subdural or subarachnoid space
-Epidural Sensor: consists of placement of a fiberoptic sensor, radio transmitter, or tiny
balloon in the epidural space through a burr hole in the skull
3L syringe - CORRECT ANSWER: -accuracy must be ±3.5%
-2.9 - 3.1
-Calibrate with flows between 2 and 12 L/sec
3rd Degree AV Block - CORRECT ANSWER:
A-a Gradient interpretations - CORRECT ANSWER: -25-65 mmHg on 100% = Normal
-66-300 mmHg = V/Q Mismatch
->300 mmHg = shunting
,each 100 mmHg = 5% shunt + 5% normal shunt
Acetylcysteine (Mucomyst) - CORRECT ANSWER: -liquify thick tenacious secretions
-ACETAMINOPHEN OVERDOSE
-give bronchodilator prior to acetylcysteine
- 3 to 4 mL of 10 - 20%
Acid Gluteraldehyde (Sonacide) - CORRECT ANSWER: -Disinfection or sterilization
-bactericidal in 10 mins
-tuberculocidal in 20 mins
-sporicidal in 1 hour
-can be used up to 28 days
Air Bubbles in ABG sample - CORRECT ANSWER: -PaCO2 decreases toward 0 torr
-PaO2 increases to 150 torr
-pH increases
Air Entrainment Mask - CORRECT ANSWER: -Irregular VT and RR and breathing
patterns
-FiO2 remains the same regardless of flow from O2 inlet
-FiO2 will increase as diameter of gas injector increases, increased resistance (water) in
tubing
-FiO2 decreases and total flow increases as air entrainment increases
Alkaline gluteraldehyde (Cidex) - CORRECT ANSWER: -disinfection or sterilization
-bactericidal in 10 mins
-tuberculocidal in 10-20 mins
-sporicidal in 10 hours (sterile)
-plastics (tubing, nebulizer, humidifier)
,-for flexible bronchoscope
Alpha Response - CORRECT ANSWER: -Vasoconstriction
-blood pressures
Altering negative pressure - CORRECT ANSWER: -increase negative pressure to
remove thick tenacious secretions
-do not exceed appropriate pressures
amiodarone - CORRECT ANSWER: -pulseless VT and V-fib that has not responded to
defibrillation
Analgesics - CORRECT ANSWER: -reduce sensation of pain (Opiods)
-reversed with naloxone (Narcan)
-morphine
-fentanyl
-codeine
-hydrocodone
-oxycodone (Oxycontin)
-hydromorphone (Dilaudid)
-meperedine (Demerol)
Anesthetics - CORRECT ANSWER: -propofol (Diprivan) for anesthesia and sedation of
ventilated patients
-ketamine (Ketalar)
Angina - CORRECT ANSWER: -Nitroglycerin
-isordil
, Antibiotics - CORRECT ANSWER: -cillins = gram positive
-myacins = gram negative
-coccus = gram positive
-everything else = gram negative
-common side effect: diarrhea
-Vancomycin = MRSA
Antiviral agents - CORRECT ANSWER: -Ribavirin = treat RSV
-RSV Immune Globulin IV (RespiGam) = prevention of RSV
-palivizumab (Synagis) = man-made antibody to RSV
APGAR Score - CORRECT ANSWER: -1 minute will determine neonatal survival
-5 minute predicts future neurological outcome
-0-3 resuscitate
-4-6 Stimuiate (stimulate, warm, O2)
-7-10 Monitor (Routine care)
Apneustic - CORRECT ANSWER: prolonged gasping inspiration followed by extremely
short, insufficient expiration
-respiratory center problems, trauma, tumor
Ascites - CORRECT ANSWER: accumulation of fluid in the abdomen caused by LIVER
FAILURE
Assessment of Tube Position - CORRECT ANSWER: - Inspect for bilateral chest
expansion
- Ausculate for bilateral breath sounds
- Capnography or CO2 detectors
