Awareness Under General Anesthesia Flashcard Deck - 10 Cards

Flashcard 1: A sudden fall in EtCO2 with hypotension along with normal airway pressure during surgery is suggestive of _____.

Answer: CO2 embolism

Flashcard 2: What is a major life-threatening anesthesia-related complication in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy?

Answer: Anesthesia-induced rhabdomyolysis (AIR) and Hyperkalemia

Extra: Patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) are at risk of Anesthesia-Induced Rhabdomyolysis (AIR) when exposed to triggering agents (volatile anesthetics or succinylcholine). This leads to acute, life-threatening hyperkalemia and potential cardiac arrest. Note: While the clinical presentation is similar, DMD is no longer considered a risk factor for classic Malignant Hyperthermia (MH). The two conditions have different genetic and pathophysiological bases.

Flashcard 3: _____ nerve is most commonly injured nerve under anesthesia

Answer: Ulnar

Flashcard 4: Emergence reaction or delirium associated with ketamine is treated with _____.

Answer: Benzodiazepines

Flashcard 5: The most common complication of a central line insertion below the clavicle is _____

Answer: Pneumothorax

Extra: For **subclavian vein** catheterization (infra-clavicular), **pneumothorax** is the most common mechanical complication (approx 1.5–3%). In contrast, for **internal jugular vein** catheterization, **arterial puncture** (carotid artery) is the most common complication (approx 6–9%).

Flashcard 6: A drastic fall in etCO2 with hypotension during neck surgery is most likely due to _____.

Answer: venous air embolism (VAE)

Flashcard 7: The following capnography waveform represents: _____

Answer: malignant hyperthermia

Flashcard 8: The following capnographic waveform is suggestive of _____:

Answer: Malignant hyperthermia

Flashcard 9: Tuberculin syringe 1ml or insulin syringe _____units, without fixed needle x3 are one of the components of the anaphylaxis kit

Answer: 40

Flashcard 10: Malignant hyperthermia is usually related to a defect in _____ receptors, which causes increased Ca2+ release from the SR

Answer: ryanodine
