Study Notes
Operating Theatre (OT) Setup
- Ideal OT setup has 4 zones.
Haemostasis Instruments
- Kelly's haemostasis forceps, mosquito forceps, Ramplay's forceps, and electrocautery are used for haemostasis.
OT Fumigation
- OT fumigation involves starting the AC for 15 minutes every 4 hours, closing doors and windows, and using formalin (Note: the use of amrinon solution upon re-entry is not a standard step).
Blood Transfusion Reaction
- Management of blood transfusion reactions involves stopping the transfusion immediately and calling the doctor. Administering steroids and continuing the transfusion is incorrect. Documentation is crucial.
Biopsy Specimen Preservation
- Biopsy specimens are commonly preserved using formalin or 2% glutaraldehyde.
Deaver's Retractor Use
- Deaver's retractor is used in abdominal surgeries.
Operating Room Temperature
- The ideal operating room temperature is 22-24 degrees Celsius.
Blood Transfusion Compatibility
- Group O blood is not compatible with group A recipients. (Other blood group incompatibilities are also mentioned, but the question is poorly formatted). Rh-negative blood can be given to Rh-positive recipients.
Oxygen Cylinder Colour Code (India)
- The colour code for an oxygen cylinder in India is blue body and white shoulder.
Anaesthesia Machine Cylinder Type
- Type D cylinder is commonly used in anaesthesia machines.
Cardiac Arrest Management
- Immediate management of cardiac arrest needs to be specified. (Answer needed)
LSCS in Obstetrics
- LSCS in obstetrics stands for Lower Segment Caesarean Section. (Answer provided)
Nitrous Oxide
- Nitrous oxide is commonly known as laughing gas. (Answer provided)
Spinal Hypotension Drug
- The drug used for spinal-induced hypotension needs to be specified. (Answer needed)
Endotracheal Tube Inflation
- The pressure and purpose of endotracheal tube inflation need specification. (Answer needed)
CPR Chest Compression Rate
- The rate of chest compressions per minute in CPR is (Answer needed).
Halothane Anaesthesia Route
- Halothane anaesthesia is given through the (Answer needed) route.
Mastoidectomy Department
- Mastoidectomy surgery is performed in the (Answer needed) department.
Endoscopy Disinfection
- Disinfection of endoscopy after use is done by (Answer needed).
Sterilization Methods
- Various methods (e.g., autoclaving, ethylene oxide sterilization, dry heat sterilization, chemical sterilization) exist and need to be described in detail.
Local Anaesthetic Agents
- Description of various local anaesthetic agents (e.g., Lidocaine, Bupivacaine, Procaine) and their properties is required.
Spinal Anaesthetic Procedure Steps
- Steps involved in spinal anaesthesia (e.g., preparation, positioning, needle insertion, drug injection, post-procedure care) need to be comprehensively explained.
Peripheral IV Cannulation
- Steps of peripheral intravenous cannulation (site selection, preparation, insertion, securing, and post-insertion care) should be elaborated upon.
Endotracheal Tube
- Description of endotracheal tubes including types, sizes, insertion, and complications should be included.
