1. When a breathing system leak test is performed and the circuit cannot maintain pressure at 30 cmH2O, the FIRST corrective action should be:

   • A. Systematically inspect all connections, the reservoir bag, and the CO2 absorber canister seal
   • B. Replace the entire breathing circuit immediately
   • C. Increase fresh gas flow to compensate for the leak
   • D. Proceed with the case and monitor SpO2 closely

Answer: A. Systematically inspect all connections, the reservoir bag, and the CO2 absorber canister seal

A systematic check of all connections, the bag, and the canister seal identifies the most common sites of leak before replacing components or proceeding.

Answer: B. Heart rate increase >20 bpm within 60 seconds

The classic epidural test dose uses 3 mL of 1.5% lidocaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine; intravascular injection causes a heart rate increase of >20 bpm within 60 seconds.

Answer: A. Epinephrine to detect intravascular placement

Epidural test dose contains epinephrine 15 mcg; intravascular injection causes a transient heart rate increase >20 bpm, confirming misplacement.

Answer: B. Decompressive hemicraniectomy

Decompressive hemicraniectomy within 48 hours reduces mortality and improves functional outcomes in malignant MCA infarction with refractory edema.
