Oropharyngeal airway - ANSWER Also placed to position tongue in more anterior position. Often interfere with intra oral procedures. Not tolerated well with awake pts.
Laryngeal mask airway (LMA) - ANSWER Device that sits over top of larynx. Can be placed blindly. Does not protect against aspiration. Inflated with 30cc to create seal.
Endotracheal intubation - ANSWER End of tube passes through vocal cords and terminates half way between vocal cords and bifurcation of trachea. Important to listen to both lungs after placement. May or May not be cuffed.
Combitube - ANSWER Generally used for specific emergencies. Both cuffs inflated.
Pts predisposed to bronchospasm - ANSWER Allergies, asthma, copd, bronchitis

Main function of kidneys - ANSWER Maintain volume and composition of body fluids. Body's main source of filtration and excrete metabolic end products and toxins.
Islets of langerhans - ANSWER Located in pancreas. Secrete insulin and glucagon. Insulin helps the body store sugar to keep glucose levels in a steady state.
Adrenal glands - ANSWER Secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine. Controls electrolyte balance and carb metabolism.
Thyroid - ANSWER Regulates body's basal metabolic rate.

Mental artery - ANSWER Supplies blood to chin.
Ischemia - ANSWER Reduced blood flow in coronary arteries. Lack of oxygen to heart cells weakens, but does not kill them.
Maxillary artery - ANSWER Supplies blood to maxilla, teeth, sinuses, and portion of nose.
Medulla oblongata - ANSWER Coordinating region for impulses. The seat of many autonomic centers.
Normal levels of hemoglobin - ANSWER Males: 13-18 mg/dL Females: 14-16 mg/dL
Oropharynx - ANSWER Located between soft palate and epiglottis.
Facial nerve - ANSWER 7th cranial nerve. Supplies motor fibers to muscles of facial expression.
Trigeminal nerve - ANSWER 5th cranial nerve. Supplies sensation to teeth and jaws.
Vagus nerve - ANSWER 10th cranial nerve. Supplies fibers to many parts of body. (Ears, tongue, pharynx, larynx, thoracic/abdominal viscera).
Pulmonary veins - ANSWER Return oxygenated blood to left atrium from lungs. Only veins that carry oxygenated blood.
Superior vena cava - ANSWER Drains head, neck, and upper extremities into right atrium.
Adrenal glad - ANSWER Secretes epinephrine, norepinephrine, and corticosteroids.
Ectopic focus - ANSWER Displaced central point of origin for cardiac dysrhythmias.
Inferior alveolar artery - ANSWER Supplies blood to teeth, mandible, lower lip, and chin.
Inferior vena cava - ANSWER Drains lower extremities and abdominal viscera into right atrium.
Brachial artery - ANSWER Supplies blood to shoulder, arm, forearm, and hand.
Facial artery - ANSWER Supplies blood to face, tonsil, palate, and submandibular gland.
T's of pulseleas electrical activity - ANSWER Toxins, trauma, thrombosis, tension pneumothorax, tamponade
H's of pulseless electrical activity - ANSWER Hydrogen ion, hypoxia, hypovolemia, hypoglycemia, hypo/hyperkalemia, hypothermia.
Pulseless electrical activity (PEA) - ANSWER Normal appearing tracing, but patient has no pulse.
Asystole - ANSWER Cessation of all contractions. "Flat line" usually follows v. fib or v. tach. Treated with CPR.
Ventricular fibrillation v. fib - ANSWER Course v. fib with prominent, erratic baseline or fine v. fib with far less pronounced vacillations. No p, qrs, or t. Often precedes asystole.
Class III - ANSWER Pt has severe systemic disturbance or disease.
Class IV - ANSWER Patient has a severe, life threatening systemic disorder.
Class V - ANSWER Patient is moribund with little chance of survival. Surgery is done in desperation.
Class II - ANSWER Patient has mild to no systemic disturbance. Smokers included.
Class I - ANSWER Patient has no organic, biochemical, psychiatric, or physiological disturbance.
Beta blockers - ANSWER Reduce the rate and force of contraction of the heart. (Atenolol)
Vasodilators - ANSWER Reduce the pressure vasculature. (Norvasc, lisinopril, diovan)
Diuretics - ANSWER Reduce the volume of fluid in system. Used to treat coronary artery disease. (HCTZ, Lasix)
