Answer 6

An increase in urine output

Answer 7

An increase in arterial oxygenation

Answer 8

A decrease in tachycardia

Answer 9

During routine procedures in complex patients

Answer 10

In high-complexity operations

Answer 11

Due to surgical inexperience

Answer 19

Length of operation

Answer 20

Proliferation

Answer 21

Remodeling

Answer 22

Exfoliation

Answer 23

Hemostasis and inflammation

Answer 24

Wound healing via secondary intention leads to improved scar formation and superior cosmetic outcome

Answer 25

A contaminated wound from an open fracture should be immediately closed via primary intention

Answer 26

Wound healing via primary intention requires manual approximation of wound edges and healing through the normal stages of wound healing

Answer 27

Wound healing via tertiary intention is reserved for simple, uncomplicated lacerations

Answer 28

The antibiotic of choice should be active against organisms usually found at the site of surgery

Answer 29

During surgeries that go longer than expected, the antibiotic should be re-dosed to ensure adequate levels

Answer 30

The antibiotic should be given 30 minutes prior to the incision

Answer 31

The antibiotic should be continued for 7 days post surgery to prevent antibiotic resistance

Answer 32

Decreased trauma to the abdominal wall and decreased post-operative scarring

Answer 33

Shorter recovery time

Answer 34

Decreased post-operative pain

Answer 35

Improved tactile sensation of tissues

Answer 36

Hypercarbia due to absorption of CO2 used to create a pneumoperitoneum

Answer 37

Decreased blood return from the lower body back to the heart

Answer 38

Decreased systemic blood pressure

Answer 39

Decreased lung volume and residual functional capacity

Answer 40

Skin, superficial fascia (Camper’s and Scarpa’s), external oblique, internal oblique, transversus abdominis, transversalis fascia, extraperitoneal fascia, parietal peritoneum

Answer 41

Skin, extraperitoneal fascia, superficial fascia (Camper’s and Scarpa’s), external oblique, internal oblique, transversus abdominis, parietal peritoneum

Answer 42

Skin, superficial fascia (Camper’s and Scarpa’s), extraperitoneal fascia, external oblique, internal oblique, transversus abdominis, transversalis fascia, parietal peritoneum

Answer 43

Skin, extraperitoneal fascia, external oblique, internal oblique, transversus abdominis, transversalis fascia, superficial fascia (Camper’s and Scarpa’s), parietal peritoneum

Answer 44

Pneumothorax

Answer 45

Pulmonary edema

Answer 46

Hemothorax

Answer 47

Postoperative cardiac surgery

Answer 48

If a chest tube needs to be repositioned further into the chest cavity after insertion, simply advance it further as necessary

Answer 49

A chest X-ray should ALWAYS be taken to confirm the location of a chest tube

Answer 50

Routine chest tubes should be placed in the second intercostal space in the anterior axillary line

Answer 51

Prophylactic antibiotics (most commonly cefazolin) are indicated for chest tube insertions to prevent infection

Answer 52

Observation

Answer 53

Diagnostic peritoneal tap

Answer 54

CT thorax, abdomen, and pelvis

Answer 55

Laparotomy

Answer 56

Take the patient to the operating room

Answer 57

Reduce dislocation in the ER

Answer 58

Obtain an angiogram

Answer 59

Start IV heparin

Answer 60

Internal fixation is generally preferable for open fractures

Answer 61

External fixation makes access for wound care more difficult

Answer 62

External fixation is useful in very comminuted fractures

Answer 63

Internal fixation is less invasive than external fixation

Answer 64

Chest tube on the left (5th intercostal space, mid-axillary line)

Answer 65

Pressure dressing on the left forearm

Answer 66

Sterile dressing on the right thigh wound, antibiotics, tetanus booster

Answer 67

Needle thoracotomy on the right (2nd intercostal space, mid-clavicular line)

Answer 68

Lag screws cause compression, stabilization, and healing mainly through secondary bone healing

Answer 69

External fixation causes compression and healing mainly through primary bone healing

Answer 70

Casting, splinting, and bracing result in callus formation leading to secondary bone healing

Answer 71

Bone plating induces absolutely stability and mainly leads to healing via secondary bone healing

Answer 72

Ease of repair

Answer 73

Lower blood loss

Answer 74

Less dyspareunia

Answer 75

Less extension of the incision

Answer 76

First degree

Answer 77

Second degree

Answer 78

Third degree

Answer 79

Fourth degree

Answer 80

Episiotomy incisions are repaired anatomically in layers

Answer 81

Mediolateral or lateral episiotomy may be associated with more blood loss than median one

Answer 82

Indications for episiotomy include avoiding an imminent perineal tear, the use of forceps, breech delivery, and the delivery of premature infants.

Answer 83

In general, the earlier the episiotomy is done during delivery, the more beneficial it will be in speeding up the delivery

Answer 84

Chronic obstruction causing hydronephrosis

Answer 85

Acute urinary retention (BPH, blood clots, etc.)

Answer 86

Traumatic injury to the lower urinary tract causing painful urination

Answer 87

Intermittent decompression for neurogenic bladder

Answer 88

Pelvic ureters

Answer 89

Blood products collect between the inner surface of the calvarium and dura

Answer 90
