M.C. nerve used for monitoring during anaesthesia | Ans. is 'a' i.e. Ulnar nerve Most common nerve used for monitoring during anaesthesia is ulnar nerve.Ulnar nerve supplies adductor pollicis, and this muscle is most commonly observed during perioperative period.Adductor pollicis muscle is monitored for neuromuscular blockade. If adductor pollicis is showing no activity it means laryngeal muscles have already been blocked and intubation can be performed. At the reversal, if there is activity in adductor pollicis it means that diaphragmatic activity has already returned and the patient will be able to maintain tidal volume even after extubation.Also knowThe muscle to show earliest reversal is orbicularis oculi, supplied by the facial nerve.Common peroneal nerve can also be used for monitoring. | 1 | Ulnar nerve | Facial nerve | Radial nerve | Median nerve | Anaesthesia | Fundamental Concepts | 04684bf0-0934-40b2-b791-e4ae7fc6e4d9 | single |

The pin index code of nitrous oxide is | The Pin Index Safety System, or PISS, is a means of connecting high-pressure cylinders containing medical gases to a regulator or other utilization equipment. It uses geometric features on the valve and yoke to prevent mistaken use of the wrong gas. This system is widely used worldwide for anesthesia machines, poable oxygen administration sets, and inflation gases used in surgery. Cylinders attach to the machine hanger-yoke assemblies that utilize a pin index safety system to prevent accidental connection of a wrong gas cylinder. The yoke assembly includes index pins, a washer, a gas filter, and a check valve that prevents retrograde gas flow.

Most common local anaesthetic used for intravenous regional anesthesia (Bier block). | Lidocaine is the most - frequently selected amide local anesthetic for producing this type of regional anesthesia. Lidocaine has been the drug used most frequently for intravenous regional anesthesia. Prilocaine, mepivacaine, chloroprocaine, procaine and etidocaine have also been used successfully. Intravenous regional anesthesia or Bier's block involves the intravenous administration of a local anesthetic into a tourniquet- occluded limb. It is used to provide anesthesia for sho surgical procedures (<90 minutes) on the limbs. Note : Bupivacaine and its congeners is not used for Biers block. It is the most cardiotoxic local anesthetic. Accidental early deflation of the tourniquet can lead to massive systemic doses of bupivacaine resulting in cardiac arrhythmias and cardiovascular collapse. | 2 | Bupivacaine | Lignocaine | Prilocaine | Chloroprocaine | Anaesthesia | Regional Anesthesia | 02d1c019-862d-4660-9122-7c3be9fdca0c | single |

Commonest complication of celiac plexus block is | Celiac plexus is a sympathetic ganglion thus blocking it will always cause hypotension. The celiac plexus is the largest plexus of the sympathetic nervous system. It contains preganglionic sympathetic fibers from greater and lesser splanchnic nerves (emerge from the thoracic sympathetic ganglia, T5 to T12) as well as postganglionic sympathetic and preganglionic parasympathetic fibers. It provides sensory innervation and sympathetic outflow to stomach, liver, spleen, pancreas, kidney and GI tract up to splenic flexure. Plexus is located at the level of T12-L2 (usually L1) and lies anterior to aoa in the retroperitoneal space. Indications Most common indication is treatment of pain caused by pancreatic cancer. Occasionally used in the treatment of pain from chronic pancreatitis (controversial). Can be used for pain from other GI malignancies from LES to splenic flexure, as well as liver, spleen and kidneys. Complications Ohostatic hypotension (most common, can be minimized with fluid hydration) and diarrhea (secondary to blockade of sympathetic fibers). Less common complications include paraplegia (from damage to aery of Adamkiewicz), local anesthetic toxicity, spinal or epidural injection, aoic or vena cava puncture and bleeding, retroperitoeneal hemorrhage, visceral organ injury, and pneumothorax (if needle is placed too cephalad) Anatomical Considerations: preganglionic SNS (greater/lesser splanchnic nerves), postganglionic SNS, preganglionic PNS, sensory Indications: pancreatic cancer (common); sometimes pancreatitis (controversial) Common Side Effects: ohostatic hypotension, diarrhea Rare Side Effects: paraplegia, LA toxicity, spinal/epidural injection, aoic or vena cava puncture, retroperitoeneal hemorrhage, visceral organ injury, pneumothorax | 2 | Bradycardia | Hypotension | Seizures | Retroperitoneal hematoma | Anaesthesia | Regional Anesthesia | 47c4dc77-e3a6-4a0a-bdfb-2304dda958c4 | single |

Anaesthesia of choice for manual removal of placenta | A i.e. GA Obstetric Anesthesia N20 can be given in Early pregnancy Anesthesia is dangerous in all three trimesters but comparatively 2" trimester is safestQ. Supine Hypotensive Syndrome : In late pregnancy (IIIrd Trim) circulatory depression occurs due to diminished venous return because of pressure of gravid uterus over inferior venacava in supine position.Q Best uterine relaxant is halothane, so uterine tetanic contractions are most rapidly treated by halothane.Q M.C. cause of death during G.A. in obstetrics is Mendelson's syndromeQ i.e. Aspiration of gastric content during anesthesia. On X-Ray, butterfly motteling in hilar area is seen. This is prevented by: - Empty stomach and H2 blockers - Esophageal Intubation - Secillik's maneuver i.e. backward pressure on cailage.Q Contraindications - Gallimanie is C/I as it crosses placenta. - Morphine is C/I until delivery as it causes respiratory depression in mother and baby. For respiratory depression of morphine or pathidine.

The following anaesthetic drug causes pain on intravenous administration | Induction of anesthesia with propofol is often associated with pain on injection, apnea, hypotension, and, rarely, thrombophlebitis of the vein into which propofol is injected. Pain on injection is reduced by using a large vein, avoiding veins in the dorsum of the hand, and adding lidocaine to the propofol solution or changing the propofol formulation. Multiple other drugs and distraction techniques have been investigated to reduce the pain on injection of propofol. Pretreatment with a small dose of propofol, opiates, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs, ketamine, esmolol or metoprolol, magnesium, a flash of light, a clonidine-ephedrine combination, dexamethasone, and metoclopramide all have been tested with variable efficacy.
