anesthetic agent around a nerve to interfere with its ability

to conduct impulses.

TERM 9

Prostaglandin

DEFINITION 9

A substance synthesized by cells from arachidonic acid that

serves as a mediator of inflammation and has other

physiologic functions.

TERM 10

Regional Anesthesia

DEFINITION 10

Loss of feeling sensation in a large area (region) of the body

after injection of an anesthetic agent into the spinal canal or

around peripheral nerves.

DEFINITION 19

An excess of sodium of sodium in the blood.

TERM 20

Hypokelemia

DEFINITION 20

A deficiency of potassium in the blood.

Hyponatremia

A deficiency of sodium in the blood.

TERM 22

Hypovolemia

DEFINITION 22

Decreased volume of circulating blood.

TERM 23

Metabolic Acidosis

DEFINITION 23

Decreased body pH caused by excess hydrogen ions in the

extracellular fluid.

TERM 24
