Question 1: Which of the
following statements is true based on the study comparing the efficacy of
peri-femoral artery block (P-FAB) and subcutaneous infiltration (SI) in reducing
tourniquet-induced hypertension (TH) during lower-limb surgery?
A) The P-FAB group demonstrated a significant reduction in tourniquet-induced hypertension compared to the SI group.
B) The incidence of tourniquet-induced hypertension was significantly higher in the SI group compared to the P-FAB group.
C) There was no significant difference in the incidence of tourniquet-induced hypertension between the P-FAB and SI groups.
D) The P-FAB group required significantly more intravenous fentanyl than the SI group during surgery.
Correct
Answer: C) There was no significant difference in the incidence of
tourniquet-induced hypertension between the P-FAB and SI groups.

Question
4: Which of the following factors most likely explains the persistence of
regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) values above zero despite cerebral anoxia in
brain-dead patients, as observed in the study with O3™ regional oximetry?

Question
5: What role does the O3™ regional oximetry system play in monitoring
patients undergoing organ donation, and how does it address NIRS accuracy
challenges?
A. It improves rSO2 monitoring by using a single-wavelength system.
B. It utilizes a four-wavelength, dual-sensor technology to reduce extracerebral contamination.
C. It reduces the need for other monitoring techniques during organ donation procedures.
D. It relies on continuous oxygen delivery to the brain for accurate readings.
