Multiple Choice
Marvin Deloitte,a 19-year-old male,received an intravenous peripheral nerve block (PNB/Bier block) for an ORIF of an ankle fracture.The anesthesia provider injected a distal dorsal vein of Marvin's right foot with 2% lidocaine,after placing a single cuffed pneumatic tourniquet circumferentially around Marvin's upper right thigh.The surgeon looked through the OR window to check on anesthesia progress as he scrubbed at the sink outside of the OR.The circulating nurse had the leg elevated and was prepping the ankle.The surgeon noticed that the cuff seemed to be deflating and that the anesthesia provider was turned away from the patient.The circulating nurse also noticed the movement under the protective towel placed over the cuff,and saw the tourniquet tubing fall to the floor.The nurse's first response should be to:
A) alert the anesthesia provider,run for the code cart,and tell the scrub person to wrap the Esmarch bandage around the deflated cuff.
B) alert the anesthesia provider,reconnect the tubing to cuff and inflate,and send the surgeon for the code cart.
C) send the scrub person for the code cart,alert the anesthesia provider to reconnect the tubing and reinflate the cuff,and continue the skin prep.
D) alert the anesthesia provider,reconnect the tubing and reinflate the cuff,and send the surgeon for a replacement cuff.
