Q

Role and mechanism of Train of Four

A
  • Depolarizing –> uniform decrease in twitch amplitude in TOF - Non depolarizing –> sum of twitches based on % of receptors occupied. 1 twitch 95%, 2 twitches 85%, 3 twitches 80%, 4 twitches 75% makes sense because minimum 25% available receptors for NMJ function

Q

Role and mechanism of Tetanic nerve stimulator

A

Depolarizing –> no fade in muscle response with tetany (if there is fade then there has been prolonged exposure to succinylcholine or phase 2 blockade) - Non depolarizing –> fade with tetany

Q

Why is Sp02 falsely elevated in CO poisoning and heavy smokers?

A

CO poisoning and heavy smokers have increased carboxyhemoglobin which falsely elevates SpO2
