    1. Relief of anxiety and apprehension preoperatively and to facilitate smooth induction.
    2. Amnesia for preoperative and postoperative events.

    4. Supplement analgesic action of anaesthetics and potentiate them.
    5. Decrease secretions and vagal stimulation (undesirable reflex).
    6. Antiemetic effect extending into postoperative period.
    7. Decrease acidity and volume of gastric juice so that it is less damaging if aspirated.

    7. Epiduralanaesthesia
  28. If we increase the depth of chest compression in CPR, it causes -
    1. Decreased mortality
    2. Increased brain perfusion
    3. Increased aortic pressure
    4. --- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

    5. Rib fracture
    6. Hemothorax

    Correct Answer - A:B:C:D:E

    Ans. (A) Decreased mortality (B) Increased brain perfusion (C) Increased aortic pressure (D) Rib fracture (E) Hemothorax

    Increasing the depth of chest compression also carry an increased risk of complications like :

    --- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

    • Rib and / or sternal fracture
    • Injury to diaphragm or lung
    • Pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, pneumopericardium
    • Hemothorax

  30. Hypotensive shock refractory to fluid, what is contraindicated?
    1. Ketamine
    2. Atropine
    3. Fentanyl
    4. Thopentone
    5. Etomidate
    6. --- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

    Correct Answer - C:D

    Ans. (C) Fentanyl (D) Thopentone

    [Ref: Wroerlee textbook of anaesthesia p.54]

    • In hypotensive patients, no sedative, hypnotic or opiate should be given.
    • Fentanyl is an opiate and thioPentone is a sedative (barbiturate).
    • --- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

    • Ketamine increases cardiac output and blood pressure - Intravenous anaesthetic of choice in shock.
    • Etomidate produces little cardi-ovascular anil respiratory depression
    • Agent of choice for cardiovascular surgeries (bypass aneurysms, valve surgery).
    • Etomidate is most cardiostable inducing agent.
    • If hypotension is due to bradycardia ---> Atropine is the drug of choice.
