  • 2. 

    Name a neuromuscular blocking agent.

    • Rocuranium

    • Fentanyl

    • Neostigmine

    • Ketamine

    Correct Answer
    A. Rocuranium
    Explanation
    Rocuranium is a neuromuscular blocking agent used during surgical procedures to relax skeletal muscles and facilitate intubation. It works by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses at the neuromuscular junction, leading to muscle paralysis. This allows for better surgical access and control over the patient's airway. Fentanyl is an opioid analgesic, Neostigmine is a reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor used to reverse the effects of neuromuscular blockade, and Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic. Therefore, Rocuranium is the correct answer as it specifically falls under the category of neuromuscular blocking agents.

    The three basic phases of anesthesia.

    • Pre medication, intubation, O2

    • Induction,Emergence, Awakening

    • IV, Intubation,Emergence

    • Induction, Maintenace, Emergence

    Correct Answer
    A. Induction, Maintenace, Emergence
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Induction, Maintenance, Emergence." This is because these three phases represent the sequential steps of administering anesthesia. Induction refers to the initial administration of anesthesia to induce unconsciousness. Maintenance involves maintaining the desired level of anesthesia throughout the procedure. Finally, emergence is the process of waking up the patient and reversing the effects of anesthesia at the end of the procedure.

    Correct Answer
    A. Diethyl Ether
    Explanation
    Diethyl Ether is the correct answer because it was the agent that revolutionized anesthesia in 1846. It was first used by William T.G. Morton during a surgical procedure, marking the beginning of modern anesthesia. Diethyl Ether was effective in inducing unconsciousness and pain relief, allowing for safer and more comfortable surgeries. Its discovery and use had a significant impact on the field of medicine, transforming the way surgeries were performed and leading to further advancements in anesthesia techniques.

    • Opium and Plums

    Correct Answer
    A. Alcohol & Cocaine
    Explanation
    Before 1846, alcohol and cocaine were somewhat effective methods for pain management. Alcohol has been used for centuries as a pain reliever due to its sedative properties, which can help numb pain sensations. Similarly, cocaine, derived from the coca plant, was also used as a painkiller during that time period. It was believed to have local anesthetic effects, providing temporary relief from pain. However, it is important to note that these methods had significant drawbacks and potential for addiction and harmful side effects.
