|
Why did Guedel invent the cuffed ETT
|
wanted to do low flow anesthesia- proved he could isolate the airway by submerging his dog into a fish tank
|
|
What are the four stages of anesthesia
|
Analgesia
Delirium Surgical Medullary Paralysis |
|
Describe stage 1- analgesia
|
Typical narcotized state
patient still conscious has smooth ventilation(guarding own airway) all reflexes intact some relief from pain |
|
Describe stage 2- delirium
|
excitement stage and begins with loss of conciousness
ventilations are irregular- sensitive airway patient may have motion nystagmus present- excitable pupils |
|
What can happen during delirium stage
|
bronchospasm, laryngospasm
vomit from very little stimulus airway is vulneralbe do not extubate room should be quite during this stage |
|
Describe stage 3- surgical
|
4 planes
plane I- respirations are smooth, regular, and deep lots of eye movements Plane II- IV - patient will go through remaining planes - pupils will dilate respirations get shallower, all protective airway reflexes are lost but patient is still breathing on his/her own |
|
Describe stage 4- Meduallary Paralysis
|
overdose-
cardiovascular and respiratory collapse Death |
|
if patient is anesthetized adequately and you are giving an inhaled anesthetic what will the patient do upon incision
|
Take a nice deep breath- which will deepen anesthesia
if not patient will hold breath and not breath any anesthetic and become lighter |
|
How can you tell if a patient is deep enough to remove the airway
|
if you suction the pharyngeal are and they dont hold their breath
|
|
Balanced anesthesia stage I
|
analgesia (Preliminary Induction)- sedate with opiods, benzo, or start inhaled GA
Preoxygenate |
|
Balanced anesthesia stage II
|
Excitement (transition)(Induction of General Anesthesia)
Administer IV GA +/- NMB or continued inhaled GA Secure airway, treat hiccoughs, myoclonus, decerebrate posturing, and masseter spasms |
|
Balanced anesthesia stage III
|
General Anesthesia (Maintenance of GA)
Adjust IV or inhaled GA, +/- opiods, +/- NMB. Avoid under dosing and overdosing |
|
Last stage of balanced anesthesia
|
reenter stage II- (Emergence from GA)
stop IV or inhaled GA and reverse NMB Treat breath holding, laryngospasm, vomiting and shivering PRN |
