Step 1
The question asks what intervention is critical to initiate in a patient receiving a neuromuscular blocking agent to prevent death. Neuromuscular blocking agents paralyze muscles, including respiratory muscles. Show more…

19. Opioid analgesics have a number of well-recognized side effects that are useful when monitoring patients in hospitals. There are additional side effects that patients should be aware of if they are taking opioids when they are released home. Which of the following is NOT a recognized side effect of opioid analgesics? a. respiratory depression b. hyperthermia c. constipation d. bradycardia e. dysphoria 20. There are 4 factors responsible for the partial pressure of the inhaled anesthetic gas that will eventually ensure adequate gas in the brain. Which of the following is NOT one of those factors? a. Loss of drug to other tissues b. Gas exchange in the lungs c. Concentration of the gas in the inspired air d. Pulmonary ventilation e. Arterial:venous blood flow ratio

A 29-year-old man is brought to the emergency department 30 minutes after he developed shortness of breath following a wasp sting. He appears acutely ill. His pulse is 130/min, respirations are 24/min, and systolic blood pressure is 70 mm Hg. Physical examination shows a diffuse urticarial rash. Wheezes are heard over all lung fields. It is most appropriate to first administer a drug with which of the following mechanisms of action? A) Blocks B2-adrenoreceptors B) Blocks H1 and H2 receptors C) Inhibits LTC4 receptors D) Stimulates a- and B-adrenoreceptors E) Stimulates G protein-coupled V2 receptors

D: Frank has a relatively sudden onset of Guillain-Barre syndrome, a neurological disease that can, as in Frank's case, impair diaphragmatic and intercostal muscle function, and hence the ability to move air in and out of the lungs. The disease creates a number of problems for its victims, but we will concentrate on Frank's respiratory problems. If there are no other problems (airways, lungs, chest wall, respiratory effort, changes in respiratory rate) Questions 61-64 concern the following elaboration of Scenario D Scenario E: Suppose that Frank changes his respiratory frequency (but not tidal volume) so that his minute volume returns to the value before the onset of the disease. 61. How would this affect intrapleural pressure - compared to Scenario D? a) significantly increased (less negative) b) largely unchanged c) significantly decreased (more negative) 62. How would you expect this to affect Frank's alveolar PO2 - compared to Scenario D? a) increased back to normal b) increased beyond normal c) increased but not back to normal d) largely unchanged e) decreased significantly 63. How would this affect O2 delivery to the systemic tissues - compared to Scenario D? a) increased back to normal b) increased beyond normal c) increased but not back to normal d) largely unchanged e) decreased significantly 64. How would this affect CO2 elimination - compared to Scenario D? a) increased back to normal b) increased beyond normal c) increased but not back to normal d) largely unchanged e) decreased significantly
