are safe and cannot cause allergic reactions
do not require resuscitation faculties
may be complicated by convulsions or respiratory depression
do not require aseptic technique
Adding epinephrine to local anesthesia
reduces anesthetic duration
reduces possible toxicity
reduces the risk in ring blocks
reduces the maximum safe dose
Spinal Anesthesia
requires injection into the subdural space
causes vasoconstriction and hypertension
can be safely administered without an intravenous
is commonly used for caesarian section
Symptoms of a high spinal anesthetic include
Restlessness
shortness of breath
normal speech
weakness of hand grip
The maximum dose of lidocaine with adrenaline is
3 mg/kg
5 mg/kg
7 mg/kg
9 mg/kg

The airway
Is compromised in the supine unconscious patient
tongue obstruction ic reduced by lifting the chin
is protected by an oropharyngeal airway
is the highest priority
In endotracheal inubation
the laryngoscope is held in the right hand
passes between the tongue and the epiglottis
is levered to obtain exposure
reveals the vocal cords posterior to the epiglottis
Verification of correct placement of the endotracheal tube include:
seeing the tube pass between the vocal cords
feeling expired air move from the tube
seeing chest movement on ventilation
hearing breath sounds over the stomach
In chest tube placment
the tube should enter the pleural space just over the rib
local anesthetic should be infiltrated from skin to pleura
an underwater seal is only needed for tension pneumothorax
the fluid level in the tube should move with respiration
The following statements concerning chest tube placement are true;
placement is in midaxillary line above the 9th interspace
confirmed by post insertion chest radiograph
requires pre insertion chest radiograph
is indicated for pneumothorax, hemothorax and empyema
If alone with a pulseless non breathing patient you
look for help
call for help
start one person CPR
place the patient on their side
Ketamine anesthesia
Can be intravenous or intramuscular
give goo muscle relaxation
is safe for patients with a full stomach
does not require patient monitoring
