Study Notes
- Air way assessment is an essential part of a general examination.
- Respiratory assessment includes inspection, palpation, percussion, and auscultation.
- Cardiovascular and endocrinology assessments are also part of the general examination.
- Abdomen and renal assessments involve multiple-choice questions (MCQs).
- A patient with diabetes mellitus (DM) should be reevaluated if they have good control through diet and weight loss.
- Analgesia pumps administer a large amount of drugs to manage pain.
- They can be given at home for long-term pain management.
- Securing an airway is crucial to ensure it is not obstructed.
- Supraglottic devices, such as a laryngeal mask or endotracheal tube, are used to secure the airway.
- They are placed directly in front of the larynx.
- Neostigmine is a drug used to reverse muscle relaxants.
- It increases the half-life of choline esterase.
- It is given with atropine to counteract bradycardia.
- A muscle relaxant should be given along with neostigmine.
- Neostigmine is given just once.
- Hypnotics are given before muscle relaxants during anesthesia.
- They only cause loss of consciousness and do not act as muscle relaxants.
- Hypnotics absorb other muscle relaxants present in the body.
- Different doses of neostigmine are used based on the indication: routine vs emergency situations.
- Neostigmine is an amazing drug due to its unique properties.
