Q1. Which of the following statements
about low-flow anaesthesia (LFA) is NOT correct?
A) LFA
helps reduce the environmental impact of anaesthesia by decreasing greenhouse
gas emissions.
B) LFA necessitates the use of complex mathematical models due to the absence
of modern gas analysers.
C) LFA can lead to significant economic savings compared to traditional
high-flow anaesthesia.
D) Modern anaesthesia workstations can help individualize the delivery of
volatile anaesthetics in LFA.
Answer: B)
LFA necessitates using complex mathematical models due to the absence of modern
gas analysers.

Q3. Which of the following statements is true regarding the
findings of the meta-analysis comparing the classical and costoclavicular (CC)
approaches for infraclavicular brachial plexus block (ICB)?
A) The
CC approach demonstrated a significantly faster sensory block onset time
compared to the classical approach.
B) The
classical approach showed a significantly shorter block performance time (BPT)
compared to the CC approach.
C)
There was no significant difference in the motor block onset time between the
classical and CC approaches.
D) The
quality of evidence for the outcomes was deemed high.
Answer: C) There was no significant
difference in the motor block onset time between the classical and CC
approaches.

Q 4. Which of the following statements is accurate regarding the pain
management efficacy of ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane (ESP) block versus
pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block in paediatric hip surgeries, according to
the study?
A) The ESP block resulted in significantly higher postoperative pain
scores compared to the PENG block at all measured times.
B) The PENG block significantly reduced postoperative morphine
consumption compared to the ESP block.
C) The ESP block significantly prolonged the time to first rescue
analgesia compared to the PENG block.
D) Both the ESP and PENG blocks showed significantly different
intraoperative haemodynamics.
Answer: C) The ESP block significantly prolonged the time to first
rescue analgesia compared to the PENG block.
