1.
A patient undergoing general anaesthesia is receiving nitrous oxide. Which of the following is a potential complication of nitrous oxide administration?
2.
Which of the following factors increases the risk of aspiration during general anaesthesia?
3.
A 70-year-old patient with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is scheduled for a procedure under general anaesthesia. What is the most important consideration in anaesthetic management?
4.
What is the mechanism of action of sevoflurane in inducing anaesthesia?
5.
. A 45-year-old male with a history of diabetes mellitus presents for surgery. Which of the following should be closely monitored during anaesthesia?
6.
What is the most common side effect of epidural analgesia?
7.
Which of the following is the most common cause of post-anaesthesia confusion in elderly patients?
8.
Which of the following anaesthetic agents is most likely to cause increased intracranial pressure (ICP)?
9.
What is the best approach for managing intraoperative hypertension in a patient under general anaesthesia?
10.
Intraoperative hypertension is often due to insufficient anaesthetic depth or inadequate pain control. Deepening the anaesthesia by increasing volatile agent concentration or administering additional analgesia can help control hypertension. Vasopressors are more commonly used for hypotension, not hypertension.
11.
Which of the following agents is the best choice for the induction of anaesthesia in a patient with a difficult airway?
12.
Which of the following is the most important factor to consider in a patient undergoing spinal anaesthesia?
13.
A 50-year-old patient with a history of hypertension presents for elective surgery. Which of the following medications should be continued on the day of surgery?
14.
. Which of the following is the most common complication associated with the use of succinylcholine?
15.
Which of the following is the most appropriate anaesthetic choice for a patient with a history of malignant hyperthermia?
16.
A 35-year-old patient with no significant medical history is undergoing elective surgery under general anaesthesia. Which of the following is the most appropriate action for preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV)?
17.
What is the primary reason for using preoperative antibiotics in certain surgeries?
18.
Which of the following is the most common cause of severe bradycardia under general anaesthesia?
19.
A 70-year-old male undergoing a major abdominal surgery is at high risk for postoperative pulmonary complications. What is the best intervention to reduce this risk?
20.
Which of the following is the most important consideration when using a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) for airway management?
21.
Which of the following factors is most likely to prolong the duration of action of a muscle relaxant?
22.
Which of the following is a known risk factor for developing malignant hyperthermia (MH)?
23.
Malignant hyperthermia is a rare genetic disorder that can be triggered by exposure to certain anaesthetic agents, especially volatile anaesthetics like sevoflurane or succinylcholine. A family history of muscle disorders, particularly in relation to anaesthesia, is the most significant risk factor. Local anaesthetics and hypertension are not directly linked to MH.
24.
What is the most appropriate anaesthetic agent for a patient with known porphyria?
25.
Which of the following is the most important consideration in the management of a patient with a history of a difficult intubation?
26.
Which of the following anaesthetic agents can cause dose-dependent hypotension by inhibiting the sympathetic nervous system?
27.
Which of the following is the most appropriate intervention for a patient experiencing anaphylaxis during anaesthesia?
28.
What is the most important preoperative consideration in a patient with a history of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)?
29.
Which of the following is the primary cause of malignant hyperthermia?
30.
Which of the following is the most likely consequence of administering a high dose of local anaesthetics?Which of the following is the most likely consequence of administering a high dose of local anaesthetics?
31.
. Which of the following is the primary mechanism of action for the drug succinylcholine?
