2) PE
3) Lab data
4) Summary of physical status
5) Plan: informed consent & monitoring
Term
27 y/o female presents for nail removal of right fifth digit. She did not tolerate the procedure in the primary care physician's office.

As an anesthesiologist, what do you need to know?
Definition
1) Hx

2) PE
-BMI, vital signs, Mallampti class, cardiopulmonary check
3) Lab Data
-What lab tests are appropriate? (none in this case)
4) Summary
-Classification according to ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists)
5) Plan
-Informed consent, and normal standard of care monitoring needed
Term
def

NOS
Definition
Nil Per Os = no food or drink for at least 8 hrs prior to procedure
Term
def

mallampati classification
Definition
Class I-IV, depends on how much tongue/back throat is seen when asked to say "ah." This coorelates with how easy a patient will be to intubate

Definition
redistribution, eliminiation hald life of 3 hrs
Term
MOA

opioids
Definition
mimic endogenous endorphins on mu, kappa, delta receptors in the brain & SC => neurotransmitter inhibition via inhibition of Ach & substance P release

Definition
fingers, toes, penis, nose, ears
Term
def

nerve block
Definition
anesthetic technique requiring drug delivery to very precise locations along the body's neural transmission
Term
What are the 2 types of regional anesthesia?

Definition
A
Term
What does nerve block depend on?
Definition
size, proximity within neural bundle, myelin presence
Term
MOA

local anesthesia
Definition
bind preferentially to Ns channels in the open/inactivated state => makes membranes unable to generate AP
Term
What is the preferred method for C-section delivery anesthesia?
Definition
regional anesthesia
Term
What agents can be used for GA induction?
Definition
