Question 1

A 72-year-old male with severe aortic stenosis (aortic valve area 0.7 cm², mean gradient 48 mmHg) is scheduled for elective hip replacement. Which hemodynamic goal is most critical during intraoperative management?

Maintenance of normal sinus rhythm and avoidance of tachycardia or sudden hypotension Deliberate tachycardia to maintain cardiac output across the fixed stenotic orifice Systemic vasodilation to reduce left ventricular afterload Permissive hypovolemia to prevent acute pulmonary edema

Correct Answer:

Maintenance of normal sinus rhythm and avoidance of tachycardia or sudden hypotension

Question 2

Which combination of hemodynamic targets represents the optimal strategy for a patient with severe chronic mitral regurgitation undergoing general anesthesia?

Slow heart rate, high systemic vascular resistance, and decreased preload Mildly elevated heart rate, reduced afterload, and maintained normal-to-high preload Profound bradycardia, increased afterload, and fluid restriction High systemic vascular resistance, normal heart rate, and low filling pressures

Correct Answer:

Mildly elevated heart rate, reduced afterload, and maintained normal-to-high preload

Question 3

Ten minutes following cardiopulmonary bypass separation, protamine sulfate is infused to reverse heparin. Within two minutes, the patient develops sudden severe pulmonary hypertension, elevated central venous pressure, and acute systemic arterial hypotension with right ventricular distension. What is the most likely diagnosis?

Type I protamine reaction due to rapid infusion Type II protamine anaphylactic reaction mediated by IgE Type III protamine reaction mediated by thromboxane A2 release Acute left ventricular anterior wall myocardial infarction

Correct Answer:

Type III protamine reaction mediated by thromboxane A2 release

Question 4

During left thoracotomy with one-lung ventilation (OLV) to the right lung, the pulse oximeter saturation gradually declines to 84%. Position of the double-lumen tube is reconfirmed via fiberoptic bronchoscopy, and 100% FiO2 is already being delivered. What is the most effective next step to treat hypoxemia?

Clamp the pulmonary artery of the dependent ventilated lung immediately Increase the tidal volume on the ventilated dependent lung to 12 mL/kg Administer high-dose inhaled nitric oxide to the operative non-ventilated lung Apply continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP 5 to 10 cmH2O) with 100% oxygen to the non-ventilated operative lung

Correct Answer:

Apply continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP 5 to 10 cmH2O) with 100% oxygen to the non-ventilated operative lung

Question 5

When comparing thoracic paravertebral block (PVB) to thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) for post-thoracotomy pain management, what is the primary clinical advantage of PVB?

Comparable analgesic efficacy with significantly lower incidence of hypotension and urinary retention Superior motor blockade of the intercostal musculature Complete bilateral dermatomal blockade with a single unilateral injection Elimination of all risks of pneumothorax or local anesthetic toxicity

Correct Answer:

Comparable analgesic efficacy with significantly lower incidence of hypotension and urinary retention
