Study Notes
Anesthesia Complications
- Deep anesthesia can cause depression of breathing and circulation
- Many anesthetic drugs lead to a drop in blood pressure
- Muscle relaxants can paralyze the muscles responsible for respiration
- Anaphylaxis can result in bronchospasm and decreased cardiac output
Equipment Failure
- Disconnection or obstruction of the breathing circuit can occur
- Oxygen supply problems include an empty cylinder
- Monitoring equipment failure can occur due to battery failure in the oximeter or a faulty probe
Managing Hypoxia
- Ensure the airway is clear
- Identify signs of laryngospasm, including:
- Mild laryngospasm: high-pitched inspiratory noise
- Severe laryngospasm: silent, with no gas passing between the vocal cords
