- 22. The earliest fatty stage of alcohol-related liver disease may remain reversible when alcohol consumption stops (two words)
- 24. Paralysis relaxes the upper esophageal sphincter, allowing forceful mask ventilation to produce this unwanted entry of air into the stomach (two words)

- 28. Bedside scanning of the antrum to estimate gastric contents and support aspiration-risk decisions is called this assessment (two words)
- 32. This procedure may improve pulmonary mechanics in symptomatic ascites, although excessively rapid fluid removal can cause circulatory collapse
- 33. MELD was designed primarily to estimate this outcome rather than directly measuring every perioperative complication of cirrhosis (three words)
- 34. Preoperative preparation of compatible blood products is appropriate when portal hypertension, coagulopathy, or major surgical bleeding is plausible (three words)
- 38. Loss of hepatic synthetic function can produce this impaired-hemostasis state, although liver disease may disturb both procoagulant and anticoagulant pathways
- 39. Inability to breathe comfortably while lying flat may indicate that ascites or pleural fluid is already impairing pulmonary mechanics
- 40. This procedure permits direct visualization, biopsy, bleeding control, dilation, and cancer screening within the gastrointestinal lumen
- 41. Disruption of normal colonic flora can allow overgrowth of this organism, producing toxin-mediated diarrhea and colitis (two words)
- 43. This renal marker contributes to the MELD calculation and becomes especially concerning when hepatorenal syndrome is possible
- 44. Reduced hepatic blood flow and enzyme activity in older adults may produce this pharmacologic consequence after otherwise routine dosing (three words)
- 45. Reduced biliary elimination in liver disease can substantially prolong the effect of this aminosteroid neuromuscular blocker
- 46. Using an average esophageal length of about 25 cm plus the pharyngeal distance, this device is commonly advanced to approximately 30–35 cm in an adult (two words)
- 48. This cross-sectional imaging method is useful for identifying abdominal lesions, pancreatic or hepatic tumors, cysts, and complications of inflammation (two words)
- 49. Bilirubin, INR, and creatinine are incorporated into MELD partly to guide this allocation process (two words)
- 50. Severe liver disease in this category generally favors nonsurgical management or postponement of elective surgery until improvement (three words)
Down
- 2. Jaundice emerging approximately one to two weeks after the prodrome marks this stage of viral hepatitis (two words)
- 3. This inflammatory stage can follow steatosis and precede fibrosis or cirrhosis in the progression of alcohol-related liver disease (two words)
- 4. This clinically important liver-disease risk factor may be inadequately represented by an otherwise objective MELD score
- 8. This hemodynamic disturbance should be prevented and rapidly corrected because it can worsen hepatic injury, encephalopathy, and hepatorenal syndrome (two words)
- 9. The colon normally contains large numbers of these bacteria that thrive without oxygen
- 14. The age-related decline in esophageal and gastric motility increases aspiration risk through this process (three words)
- 15. Massive hepatocyte destruction from viral hepatitis or toxins may heal with irregular scarring and produce this condition (two words)
- 16. Chronic obstruction of the common bile duct can ultimately produce this posthepatic fibrotic liver disorder (three words)
- 18. Documenting this preoperatively allows postoperative confusion or worsening encephalopathy to be recognized as a new change (three words)
- 19. This first-line imaging modality commonly detects gallstones, gallbladder abnormalities, masses, and intra-abdominal abscesses
- 20. This severe form of peritoneal fluid accumulation may justify drainage before elective surgery when ventilation, preload, or supine positioning is impaired (two words)
- 23. Increased abdominal pressure from ascites can produce this mechanical cause of reduced venous return while the patient is supine (two words)
- 25. Resolution of jaundice begins this stage, although some forms of viral hepatitis may instead progress toward chronic disease (two words)
- 27. This laboratory panel helps identify renal dysfunction and electrolyte abnormalities that can worsen encephalopathy and anesthetic risk (three words)
- 29. Complete reversal with this binding agent may be necessary when prolonged aminosteroid neuromuscular blockade creates postoperative airway risk
- 30. Reduced gastrointestinal and airway secretions in an older adult produce this condition, increasing the need for lubrication during tube placement (two words)
- 31. Compression of the inferior vena cava by tense ascites may reduce this ventricular filling variable
- 35. Normal aging reduces this blood-flow variable, contributing to less efficient drug and alcohol metabolism (two words)
- 36. This electrolyte disorder may increase perioperative risk in cirrhosis even though traditional MELD scoring may not fully represent it
- 37. This early stage of viral hepatitis occurs after exposure and features nonspecific symptoms before jaundice becomes apparent (two words)
- 42. This tissue-sampling procedure confirms selected hepatic diagnoses and is generally low risk in a healthy liver because of its regenerative capacity (two words)
- 47. A low concentration of this oxygen-using bacterial category can be normal in the jejunum
