Which primary symptom does the nurse identify as a potentially fatal complication of epidural or intrathecal anesthesia?

1 answer:

4 0

The total blockade comes with the biggest potentially fatal complication of an epidural or intrathecal anesthesia. Many women choose this type of spinal epidural or intrathecal anesthesia during labor to block all labor pains. The primary symptom is hypotension. Hypotension is low blood pressure. Nausea is usually the first symptom of hypotension. A nurse will be able to intervene when the vital machine shows the blood pressure dropping. This why hospitals always have someone connected throughout labor to a vital signs machine when having an epidural or intrathecal anesthesia.

Answer:

1.Sugar bonds

2.Transport proteins

3. Digestion

4. Oxidation

explanation

Chemical energy is stored in the bonds of sugar.

The concentration gradient of a substance across the membrane represents potential energy bcz it drives diffusion.Transport proteins aids the diffusion.

Digestion converts chemical energy into kinetic energy used by cells.

When the electrons are destroyed in the glucose,Energy contained in the bonds is released in small bursts,some of it is captured in the form of ATP .'The electrons are transferred to smaller molecules known as electron carriers.The electron carriers take the electrons to a group of proteins in the inner membrane of the mitochondrion,called the electron transport chain.As electrons move through the electron transport chain they go from a higher to lower energy level and are finally passed to Oxygen to form water.The energy released is captured as a proton gradient which powers the production of ATP.
