#1

Which of the following drugs is commonly used as an induction agent in general anesthesia?

Propofol
Explanation

Rapid onset and offset with minimal side effects.

#2

What is the primary purpose of an endotracheal tube during anesthesia?

To maintain a patent airway
Explanation

Ensures adequate ventilation and oxygenation.

#3

Which of the following is NOT a common side effect of opioid analgesics used in anesthesia?

Hypertension
Explanation

Opioids typically cause hypotension.

#4

What is the primary function of a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) in anesthesia?

To establish a seal over the glottis and facilitate ventilation
Explanation

Facilitates ventilation without endotracheal intubation.

#5

Which of the following is a potential complication of regional anesthesia?

Nerve injury
Explanation

Risk of nerve damage during administration.

#6

Which of the following anesthesia techniques involves injecting local anesthetic around a cluster of nerves to block sensation to a specific body part?

Regional anesthesia
Explanation

Localized numbing of specific body regions.

#7

What is the term for the process of reversing the effects of neuromuscular blocking agents at the end of surgery?

Reversal
Explanation

Restoring normal muscle function post-surgery.

#8

Which of the following volatile anesthetic agents is known for its low solubility, allowing for rapid induction and emergence from anesthesia?

Desflurane
Explanation

Fast onset and recovery due to low solubility.

#9

What is the term for the condition characterized by the unintentional awareness of intraoperative events during general anesthesia?

Anesthesia awareness
Explanation

Patient's conscious experience during surgery.

#10

Which of the following neuromuscular blocking agents is commonly used to facilitate endotracheal intubation?

Rocuronium
Explanation

Rapid onset and intermediate duration.

#11

Which of the following monitoring parameters is typically used to assess the depth of anesthesia?

Bispectral index (BIS)
Explanation

Quantifies the depth of unconsciousness.

#12

In pediatric patients, which of the following is a commonly used formula to estimate the appropriate size of an uncuffed endotracheal tube?

Age/2 + 16
Explanation

Estimates tube size based on age.

#13

Which of the following anesthesia machines is designed to deliver a precise mixture of oxygen and volatile anesthetic agents to the patient?

Vaporizer
Explanation

Controls delivery of anesthetic gases.

#14

Which of the following is a common method of assessing neuromuscular blockade during anesthesia?

Train-of-four monitoring
Explanation

Evaluates depth of muscle relaxation.

#15

Which of the following is a potential complication of prolonged neuromuscular blockade?

Residual paralysis
Explanation

Delayed recovery of muscle function.
