___________ allow us to deliver oxygen and anesthetic gas to the patient which maintains them at a surgical plane of anesthesia.
- A.
Vaporizers
- B.
Rebreathing bags
- C.
Endotracheal tubes
- D.
Scavenger units
Correct Answer
C. Endotracheal tubesExplanation
Endotracheal tubes are used to deliver oxygen and anesthetic gas directly to the patient's lungs during surgery. By placing the tube into the patient's trachea, the gases can bypass the upper airway and reach the lungs effectively. This allows the anesthesiologist to maintain the patient at a surgical plane of anesthesia, ensuring proper oxygenation and inhalational anesthetic delivery. Vaporizers, rebreathing bags, and scavenger units are not directly involved in delivering gases to the patient's lungs and therefore do not play a role in maintaining anesthesia at the surgical plane.Rate this question:

When do we give preanesthetic drugs to an animal?
- A.
At least 5 minutes before the patient is induced
- B.
At least 15 minutes before the patient is induced
- C.
At least 30 minutes before the patient is induced
- D.
At least 1 hour before the patient is induced
Correct Answer
B. At least 15 minutes before the patient is inducedExplanation
Preanesthetic drugs are given to animals at least 15 minutes before they are induced. This allows enough time for the drugs to take effect and ensure a smooth and safe induction process. Giving the drugs too close to the induction time may not provide enough time for the drugs to fully take effect, leading to potential complications during anesthesia. On the other hand, giving the drugs too early may result in the drugs wearing off before the induction, which can also lead to complications. Therefore, giving preanesthetic drugs at least 15 minutes before the patient is induced is the recommended practice.Rate this question:
