    Study Notes

    Anesthesia Technician MCQ Exam Questions

    Muscle Rigidity and Malignant Hyperthermia

    • Muscle rigidity is increased with the use of Fentanyl
    • Malignant hyperthermia is most commonly precipitated by Succinyl choline

    Gas Solubility and Cylinder Colors

    • Nitrous oxide is the gas with the greatest solubility in blood
    • Grey colour cylinder contains Nitrous oxide
    • Blue colour cylinder contains Cyclopropane
    • Helium cylinder is orange in color

    Anesthesia and Patient Response

    • Enflurane causes a decrease in tidal volume in spontaneously breathing patients
    • Ketamine is a patent I/V analgesic anaesthetic
    • High output renal failure may be caused by Methoxyflurane
    • Ketamine does NOT cause increased ICT

    Cardiovascular and Respiratory System

    • Takayasu syndrome is a disorder of Arteries
    • The radial artery is most commonly cannulated for invasive blood pressure monitoring during cardiac surgery
    • The current position of the distal orifice of central venous catheter can be ascertained by X-ray chest, advancement under fluoroscopy, and use of an electrocardiogram
