Anaesthesia revision checklist for NEET PG, INI-CET & FMGE

ETCO2 — most reliable endotracheal tube confirmation

Sniffing position, pre-oxygenation and laryngoscopy technique

Tracheal suction duration and sudden self-extubation

High-quality CPR — rate, depth and recoil parameters

Single-rescuer adult 30:2 compression-to-ventilation ratio

CPR rib fractures — commonest 3rd-5th rib injury

Phase III plateau and ETCO2 value interpretation

Abnormal trace — bronchospasm, rebreathing and curare cleft

Capnography uses — spontaneous effort and neonatal tube confirmation

Capnograph eponym — Brechner and Bethune device

Bispectral index — intraoperative awareness detection

EEG in anaesthesia — wave shifts, depth and slowing causes

Guedel surgical plane — ether stage definition

IV anaesthetic in epilepsy — ketamine contraindication

TIVA — reduced cerebral metabolic rate

Haemodynamically unstable induction — ketamine choice

Post-spinal hypotension — crystalloid prevention myth

Epidural accidental subarachnoid spread — sudden hypotension

Epidural selection — rib-fracture and cardiac-labour analgesia

Neuraxial safety — platelet threshold and LP contraindications

Mapleson efficiency and Jackson-Rees paediatric circuit

Soda lime — calcium hydroxide CO2 absorption

Medical gas identification — cylinder colour and pipeline

APL valve opening pressure — 30-40 cmH2O

Bellows failure — switch to manual ventilation

ASA III — severe systemic disease grading

Repeat-LSCS consent — components not required

Perioperative medication — ACE-inhibitor stop, steroid continue

Chronic smoking — carboxyhaemoglobin and pulmonary effects

Surgical platelet threshold — transfusion to 50,000
