Anesthesia and Pain Management Quiz

A reversible state of Stage III surgical anesthesia characterized by hypnosis, amnesia, analgesia, muscle relaxation, autonomic and sensory blockade. It involves four stages that are often rapid and may not be observable.

The process of initiating general anesthesia in a patient.

Medications administered intravenously or inhaled to induce general anesthesia.

Maintaining the anesthetic state after induction, ensuring the patient remains unconscious and pain-free throughout surgery.

A method of maintaining general anesthesia using a combination of intravenous drugs.

Drugs used to relax muscles and induce paralysis to facilitate surgery.

The process of emerging from general anesthesia, regaining consciousness and movement after the surgery.

The first stage of general anesthesia, characterized by pain relief but without loss of consciousness.

A medication used to treat and prevent moderate to severe pain. It is contraindicated in patients with epilepsy not adequately controlled by treatment.

A powerful drug often used to manage severe pain, but comes with side effects like respiratory depression.

A condition characterized by difficulty breathing or cessation of breathing.

An anti-inflammatory drug often used for postoperative pain. It does not affect respiration or gastrointestinal motility.

A type of medication that reduces inflammation and pain.

A significant reduction in blood pressure.

A slow heart rate.

A rapid heartbeat often associated with heart disease.

A long-acting non-depolarizing muscle relaxant used to paralyze patients during intubation and surgery.

An intermediate-acting non-depolarizing muscle relaxant used for intubation and maintaining relaxation during surgery or on a ventilator.

An intermediate-acting non-depolarizing muscle relaxant with rapid onset used for rapid sequence intubation and maintaining paralysis during surgery or on a ventilator.

The use of medications to relax muscles and induce paralysis for surgery.

The time it takes for a muscle relaxant to take effect.

The duration of time a muscle relaxant remains effective.

A process by which a drug is metabolized or eliminated from the body.

A type of drug metabolism where a drug is broken down without the involvement of enzymes.

Errors in medication administration that occur when the intended action is not performed due to mistakes in planning or slips and lapses.

Features that help reduce medication errors by addressing potential knowledge gaps, rules, technical aspects, and memory issues.

A technology used in healthcare facilities, especially operating rooms, to improve medication management by automatically verifying drugs before administration and reducing errors.

A crucial aspect of preventing medication errors in anesthesia, using barcodes, speakers, touch screens, and visual verification to ensure the correct drug is administered.

Machines that track and monitor drug usage patterns, enhancing drug availability and facilitating timely administration.

Practices aimed at preventing contamination including hand hygiene and safe storage of sterile materials.

A set of principles that guide the aseptic technique, ensuring minimal contamination of medical devices and procedures.

Steps involved in performing aseptic technique, including hand hygiene and safe storage of sterile materials.

Filters that physically block particles larger than their pores.

Filters that use static electricity to attract and hold charged particles.

A type of bacterial filter that removes 99.97% of particles 0.3 micrometers or larger. Used to prevent contamination in respiratory circuits.

A system within an anesthesia machine that delivers gases to the patient's airway. May need cleaning and disinfecting.

A chemical used in anesthesia machines to absorb carbon dioxide. Must be cleaned and disinfected regularly.

Reusable parts of anesthesia ventilators that require regular cleaning and disinfection. These include soda lime canisters, valves, etc.

Three-way valves used for intravenous medication administration, requiring disinfection to prevent contamination.

The practice of disinfecting vial rubber stoppers and ampule necks with 70% alcohol before use. It aims to prevent contamination during anesthesia drug administration.

A device designed to retain exhaled moisture on the patient side of the HMEF, ensuring proper humidification when placed directly in contact with the ETT port.

A type of breathing system used in anesthesia, which involves a closed circuit with minimal fresh gas flow, allowing for conservation of gases and minimizing environmental pollution.

A type of breathing system used in anesthesia, where fresh gas flow is added during each breath, allowing for efficient gas exchange.

A technique involving ultraviolet (UV) light to decontaminate surfaces and air, reducing microbial contamination in operating rooms.

The process of removing carbon dioxide from the patient's expired breath during anesthesia.

A medical device used to mechanically assist or control breathing in patients who cannot breathe on their own.

A type of ventilation mode where the ventilator delivers a preset volume of air with each breath.

A type of ventilation mode where the ventilator adjusts the pressure to deliver a set volume of air with each breath.

A system designed to capture and safely remove waste anesthetic gases from the operating room, protecting healthcare professionals and the environment.

A device used to deliver anesthetic gases to the patient during surgery, allowing for precise control of anesthetic concentrations.
