❤️ SBA-style questions on anesthesia for CABG, valve surgery, CPB, and vascular procedures — with clear explanations based on Miller’s, Barash, Lange, and Kaplan. Tailored for FRCA Primary exam prep.
📘 What You’ll Learn
Cardiac and vascular surgeries pose unique anesthetic challenges that require a deep understanding of physiology, pharmacology, and monitoring. This module presents FRCA Primary-style Single Best Answer (SBA) questions covering key principles relevant to the perioperative management of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), valvular surgery, aortic interventions, and vascular access procedures. Each question is supported by clear, exam-oriented explanations grounded in clinical relevance.
🫀 Cardiopulmonary bypass: physiology and management
🩸 Anticoagulation strategies and heparin–protamine reversal
💉 Myocardial protection techniques
📉 Intraoperative arrhythmias and hemodynamic instability
🔬 Invasive monitoring: arterial line, CVP, PA catheter, TEE basics
⚙️ Anesthetic approaches to valvular pathology and CABG
🦵 Peripheral vascular surgery: embolism risk and regional techniques
✅ SBA questions crafted to reflect FRCA Primary standards
📘 Focused on practical application in cardiac & vascular cases
🧠 Designed to integrate physiology, pharmacology, and monitoring
