CAPA/CPAN EXAM QUESTIONS WITH
CORRECT ANSWERS
General anesthesia- - Correct Answers -states of reversible unconsciousness where
protective reflexes are particle or completely lost, muscle relaxation, sedation, and
amnesia obtained
Moderate sedation anesthesia- - Correct Answers -relaxed, non paralyzed state of
analgesia
Regional anesthesia- - Correct Answers -loss of body sensation to region
Factor in anesthesia selection- - Correct Answers -age, physical status, type of surgery,
patient wishes, site of surgery/body position
ASA physical status classification- - Correct Answers -the specific risk the patient has to
developing a complication after to the procedure.
ASA 1- - Correct Answers -normal healthy patient
ASA 2- - Correct Answers -patient with mild, systemic disease...
smoker, pregnancy, obesity, mild drinker
What kind of local is lidocaine? - Correct Answers -amide
Duration of lidocaine? - Correct Answers -45-180 minutes
Bupivacaine- - Correct Answers -3-10 hours
amide
ASA 3- - Correct Answers -severe systemic disease...poorly controlled DM, HTN,
COPD, obesity, history MI, stents
-some disagreement between anesthesia providers
, ASA 4- - Correct Answers -patient with incapacitating systemic disease. ESRD, severe
cardiac valve dysfunction, stents, sepsis
ASA 5- - Correct Answers -not expected stop survive without the operation
ASA 6- - Correct Answers -organ donor, patient passed as brain dead
"E" ASA status- - Correct Answers -emergency patient with unknown history.
this can be added to any of the statuses
Stage 1 of anesthesia- - Correct Answers --analgesia stage-
conscious and rational, follows simple commands, perception of pain is diminished but
reflexes are intact
Stage 2 of anesthesia- - Correct Answers --delirium- unconscious, body responds
reflexively, pupils dilated, breath holding, respirations irregular, muscle tone intact.
most at risk for laryngospasm and aspiration. also MI
Stage 3 of anesthesia- - Correct Answers --surgical anesthesia-
increasing degrees of muscular relaxation, unable to protect airway
Stage 4 of anesthesia- - Correct Answers --medullary depression-
depression of cardiovascular and respiratory centers
considered overdose
Recovery and Emergence of anesthesia- - Correct Answers -occurs in reverse order of
induction...surgical, delirium, analgesia.
Hypnotic anesthesia or otherwise known as? - Correct Answers -barbiturates
Methohexital (brevital)- - Correct Answers -barbiturates
used for induction, sedation, and MAC...no antagonists
SE: hiccups, and coughing
Etomidate (amidate)- - Correct Answers -an induction agent that is a non-barbiturate.
emergency type situation because very short acting hypnotic, no analgesia.
decreases cerebral blood flow and cerebral oxygen consumption without decreasing BP
aka good for neuro patients..
SE: can suppress adrenal function for 5-8 hours
Propofol (deprivan)- - Correct Answers -non-barbiturate
