answer
        loss of sensitivity to pain
question
            define nociception
answer
        the neural process of encoding noxious stimuli -doesn't require consciousness
question
            define tranquilization
answer
        a state of behavioral change, wherein anxiety is relieved ; the pt is relaxed, although aware of its surroundings
question
            define sedation
answer
        a state characterized by CNS depression accompanied by drowsiness -Pt likely unaware of its surroundings

answer
        mild, moderate, profound
question
            what level sedation does this represent?

answer
        mild
question
            what level sedation does this represent?

answer
        moderate
question
            what level sedation does this represent?

answer
        profound
question
            define local anesthesia
answer
        loss of sensation in a circumscribed body area
question
            define regional anesthesia
answer
        loss of sensation in a larger, though limited, body area
question
            define narcosis
answer
        drug induced state of deep sleep from which a pt can't be easily aroused may or may not be accompanied by antinociception
question
            define General anesthesia
answer
        drug induced UNCONSCIOUSNESS characterized by controlled, reversible depression of the CNS & perception in this state pt is NOT arousable by noxious stimulation Sensory, motor, & autonommic reflex functions are attenduated to varying degrees
question
            how is dissociative anesthesia induced? what is it characterized by? what are 2 drugs produce dissociative anesthesia?
answer
        induced by drugs that dissociate the thalabocortical & limbic systems characterized by a CATATONIC state where eyes remain open & swallowing reflexes remain functional skeletal muscle rigidity is common unless a muscle relaxing drug is given in conjucntion produced by "dissociative anesthestics" e.g: ketamine & tiletamine (Telazol)
question
            what is this picture represent?

answer
        catatonic kitty
question
            define surgical anesthesia
answer
        the stage/plane of general anesthesia that provides unconsciousness, muscle relaxation & analgesia sufficient for painless surgery
question
            what is balanced anesthesia
answer
        is induced by a multiple rug approach drugs are targeted to attenuate individual components of the anesthetic state: unconsciousness, analgesia, muscle relaxation
question
            what are 3 routes of admin of anesthetics
answer
        inhalation -anesthetic gases or vapors are inhaled in combination with oxygen injectable -anesthetic solutions are injected intravenously, intramuscularly or subcutaneously oral, transmucosal or intranasal -routes infrequently used with liquids or gels in anesthesia
question
            what is flow from O? cylinder to pt?
answer
        Cylinder?press. reduct. valve?flowmeter?vaporizer?pt. breathing circuit
question
            what is starting volume of O? in E cylinder
answer
        660 L
question
            what is starting volume of O? in H cylinder
answer
        6600 L
question
            what is starting pressure of gas in medical cylinders
answer
        2200 psi
question
            what is the formula to calculate for remaining volume of 0? in cylinder?
answer
        660 L/2200 psi = X L/psi remaining in cylinder solve for X
question
            what is formula to calculate minutes remaining of O? in cylinder?
answer
        X L/ L/min flow

answer
        30-35% O? (FiO? = 0.30-0.35) minimum
question
            what is the metabolic requirement for oxygen What does this # represent?
answer
        5-10 mL/kg/min  the minimum O? flow!
question
            what are the possible adverse pt. effects caused by routine use or mishaps
answer
        hypoxia - d/t inadequate O? delivery pneumothorax - d/t ? pressure in lungs (quick flush valve)
question
            Advantages of rebreathing system
answer
        ? fresh gas flow rate req. -pt breathes warm, humidified gases -saves $ -? environ. pollution
question
            disadvantages of rebreathing system
answer
        ? resistance to breathing ?d/t valves ? in anes. gas conc. occur slowly d/t ? fresh gas flow more components? ? potential for leaks
