One wants to anaesthetise the inferior alveolar nerve at the point at which it exits from the mandibular canal, so the injection site most often located in
1. Between first and second molars inferior to the root apices
2. Between first and second molar superior to root apices
3. Between first and second premolars inferior to root apices
4. Between first and second premolars superior to root apices
Oral Surgery
Answer: 3
The inferior alveolar nerve exits the mandibular foramen and runs in the
mandibular canal before it branches off to supply the teeth, including the
second premolar. To anesthetize the nerve at this point, the injection site is
commonly located between the first and second premolars, inferior to the root
apices, where the nerve is relatively superficial and accessible.
Which is the best method to counteract severe acidosis following cardiopulmonary resuscitation?
1) Administration of adrenaline by IV routes
2) Administration of sodium bicorbonate intravenously
3) Administration of adrenaline intramuscularly
4) No treatment is necessary because it is self-limiting
Oral Surgery
Answer: 2
Severe acidosis, particularly metabolic acidosis, can occur following
prolonged cardiac arrest and subsequent CPR. The primary goal in managing such
cases is to restore normal pH levels in the body, which is crucial for proper
cellular function and overall physiological homeostasis.
1. Sodium bicarbonate Sodium bicarbonate is a strong base that reacts with
hydrogen ions (H+), which are responsible for acidity in the blood, to form
carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). This reaction helps to neutralize the
excess hydrogen ions, thereby raising the pH of the blood. It is administered
intravenously because it allows for rapid distribution throughout the body and
direct access to the circulatory system where it can counteract acidosis most
effectively. The intravenous route ensures that the medication reaches the
bloodstream quickly and in a controlled manner, making it the preferred method
for acute and severe cases.
2. Adrenaline (epinephrine)*: Although adrenaline is a crucial medication used
in CPR for its vasopressor and cardiac stimulant effects, it is not the primary
treatment for severe acidosis. Adrenaline is typically administered to improve
cardiac output and blood pressure during CPR.
