cold rooms, use of neuraxial anesthesia (spinal,epidural,etc), burn injuries, trauma
patient - ✔️✔️Correct-OR factors that contribute to Hypothermia:
-patients receive education and treatments prior to surgery to improve their health prior
to surgery
-improves surgical outcomes and can decrease costs
-specific protocols are in place for "prior to surgery, day of surgery, and after surgery" -
✔️✔️Correct-3 key points of ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery):
ASA Physical Status Classification - ✔️✔️Correct-this is assigned by an anesthesia
professional and tells you about the severity of systemic disease, physiological
dysfunction, and anatomic abnormalities
ASA 1 - ✔️✔️Correct-ASA Classification for a normal healthy patient
ASA 2 - ✔️✔️Correct-ASA Classification for a patient with mild systemic disease
ASA 3 - ✔️✔️Correct-ASA Classification for patients with severe systemic disease
ASA 4 - ✔️✔️Correct-ASA Classification for a patient with severe systemic disease that is
a constant threat to their life
ASA 5 - ✔️✔️Correct-ASA Classification for a morbid patient who is not expected to
survive without the operation

2: post anesthesia care
3: extended care unit - ✔️✔️Correct-PACU Phases:
General Anesthesia - ✔️✔️Correct-A type of anesthesia:
-a drug-induced reversible state of unconsciousness
-results in amnesia, analgesia, loss of responsiveness, decreased stress response, and
loss of skeletal muscle reflexes to a varying degree
-needs an anesthesiologist
IV induction, Inhalation induction (often used for kids) and Muscle relaxants -
✔️✔️Correct-3 agents used for general anesthesia:
Regional Anesthesia - ✔️✔️Correct-A type of anesthesia:
-an injection of local anesthetics near nerve fibers that causes reversible loss of
sensation to an area of the body
-blocks motor and sensory nerve conduction, preventing pain and movement to the
affected area
-examples include spinal, epidural and peripheral nerve blocks
epinephrine - ✔️✔️Correct-use of this drug with regional anesthesia (ex: epidural, blocks)
can increase the density and duration of the block:
bicarbonate - ✔️✔️Correct-use of this drug during regional anesthesia (ex: spinal, blocks)
reduces the acidity of the local anesthetic and speeds up the onset of the block:
Monitored Anesthesia Care (MAC) - ✔️✔️Correct-A type of anesthesia:
