Unfortunately, at 20 weeks gestation, this friend needs urgent cholecystectomy. What are the anesthetic considerations? Are there any drugs to definitely avoid? Any special monitoring? This same pregnant friend is now about 30 weeks along and is feeling "puffy" and thinks she may be pre-eclamptic. How would you help her determine

ANESTHESIA ELECTIVE SELF-ASSESMENT AND STUDY QUESTIONS Consider the following regional anesthesia cases A colleague of yours from the ER calls and tells you he wants to infiltrate a large leg wound with local anesthetic to suture. He wants to know how much lidocaine he can use (pt is 70kg). How much bupivicaine? What sorts of problems would you expect with a local anesthetic overdose? What properties of lidocaine would make it a better or worse medicine than bupivicaine to infiltrate? Should he use epinephrine containing solutions? How does a spinal anesthetic differ from an epidural

What about a 70 year old patient obviously septic (hypotensive, tachypneic, and unstable) presenting for exploratory lap for probable ischemic bowel

ANESTHESIA ELECTIVE SELF-ASSESMENT AND STUDY QUESTIONS Consider the following situations regarding airway management. A 30 year old gravid female presents for emergent C-section. She just finished eating a large sausage and pepperoni pizza 20 minutes ago. This patient needs a rapid sequence intubation (RSI). List the steps involved in a Rapid Sequence Intubation and consider the rationale for each. What other patients might need a RSI?
