A major consideration for the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) following AAA repair is highly correlated with the location of the aortic cross-clamp. This risk is primarily driven by:

During a left thoracotomy, the patient is placed in the left lateral decubitus position. Which statement accurately describes the physiological status of the patient’s lungs in this position?

During cryoablation, how much of the cardiac output is transiently lost due to pulmonary artery occlusion? 

A CRNA places a left-sided double-lumen tube in a 55-year-old female. Upon auscultation and clamp testing, the CRNA suspects the tube is inserted too shallow. Which expected ventilation assessment findings support this suspicion?

The anesthesia provider needs to optimize cerebral blood flow (CBF) during a high-risk procedure. Which of the following factors directly increases cerebral blood flow?

A CRNA is evaluating a patient’s preoperative pulmonary function tests (PFTs) to assess fitness for pneumonectomy. All of the following are parameters typically assessed by PFTs to guide the anesthetic plan except:

Which anesthetic technique is described as Puposeful response following repeated or painful stimulation, spontaneous ventilation may not be adequate, and airway intervnetion may be required, but CV function is usually maintained? 

Match the medication with the suspected mechanism of action.

After inserting a left-sided double-lumen tube, the CRNA uses fiberoptic bronchoscopy to confirm placement. Which of the following observations indicates correct positioning?

A patient with a history of emphysema presents with large bullae noted on a chest X-ray. The anesthetic plan includes an elective procedure requiring general anesthesia and positive pressure ventilation. Which anesthetic agent should be used with extreme caution or avoided due to the increased risk of bullae rupture?
