Question
Answer
Two advantages of Glycopyrrolate over atropine   Longer duration, Doesn't cross placental barrier, milder effects  
🗑
List 2 drugs used to reverse Hydromorphone and how much they reverse   Naloxone/Narcan-100%, Nalorphine/Nalline-90%, Butorphanol/Torbugesic- partial.  
🗑
Define Hypercarbia.   Too much oxygen in lungs  
🗑
List one type of patient that may be at risk for hypercarbia, hypoxia or atelectasis during anesthesia.   Prolonged anesthesia, obese patients, Neuromuscular blockers, preexisting lung conditions, head trauma, chest/diaphragm surgery  
🗑
Define Hypoxia   Low blood oxygen  
🗑
Define atelectasis   Lung alveoli may partially collapse  
🗑
List one reason for pale MM other than anemia during anesthesia   Feline leukemia, deep plane of anesthesia, blood loss, renal disease, some induction agents  
🗑
List 2 possible side-effects of Hydromorphone   Resp. depression, bradycardia, vomiting, panting, excessive sedation, excitement  
🗑
When using an induction chamber, the concentration of Isoflurane should be between what percents?   4% and 5%  
🗑
When using an induction chamber, the concentration of Oxygen should be set beween _______ Liters/Min   3-4 L/min  
🗑
How can you determine when an animal is ready to be removed from the chamber while it is being anesthetized?   If it is unable to stand on its own and is appearing very drowsy.  
🗑
Temperature loss in the patient is greatest in the first _____ Minutes from time of induction   First 20 min  
🗑
Temperature should be monitored every____ minutes   5 minutes  
🗑
How would hypothermia affect the amount of anesthetic needed   metabolism is slowed down, thus less anesthetic is needed as heat is released and the animal becomes cooler in temperature.  
🗑
Name one precaution you can take to minimize the risk of hypothermia   Use a heating pad during and after procedures, as needed.  
🗑
Does Vasodilation increase or decrease the body temperature?   It decreases body temperature  
🗑
What drug contributes to vasodilation?   Acepromazine  
🗑
What are PVC's   Premature Ventricular contractions  
🗑
What causes PVC's   Hypoxia, barbiturates during anesthesia, cardiac disease, gastric torsion, heart trauma, acid-base and electrolyte disorders  
🗑
What drug is given to reverse PVC's   Intravenous Lidocaine  
🗑
What is the reversal for Xylazine   Yohimbine  
🗑
Why is it important to give this drug slowly during reversal   It prevents excitement by giving it slowly as it reverses anesthesia  
🗑
What is the best ting to do if an anesthetized patient starts to vomit   Lower the animal's head with the endotracheal tube in place  
🗑
What are some adverse effects of Xylazine?   vomiting/emesis, Cyanosis, temporary behavior change  
🗑
What anatomical characteristics of brachycephalic dogs that impede air exchange   elongated soft palette, smaller trachea, small nasal openings  
🗑
What needs to happen during post-op and extubation in brachycephalic patients   Careful monitoring on their ability to breathe, chew, and swallow  
🗑
What does MAC stand for and what does it mean   Minimum alveolar concentration-strength of an inhaled agent (lowest concentration that produces no response in 50% of patients to pain stimuli)  
🗑
Is a high or low MAC more potent   Low MAC is more potent anesthetic  
🗑
Reversal of medetomidine   atipamezole/Antisedan  
🗑
What beneficial effect of medetomidine would be reversed as well?   Analgesia, siezure prevention,  
🗑
What body system is most significantly adversely affected by medetomidine   Cardiovascular  
🗑
Opioids are generally used for what effect (besides sedation)   Analgesia  
🗑
Where is the probe placed on a Doppler blood pressure reading   coccygeal, metacarpal, or metatarsal artery  
🗑
Why are oscillometric blood pressure devices less accurate on small animals?   They have small veins and arteries and very fast pulse in comparison which would be harder to measure accurately  
🗑
How does Butorphanol affect respiration?   It decreases it at hight doses  
🗑
Elimination of Ketamine depends on which organ in the dog and which organ in the cat   Liver-dog Kidneys-Cat  
🗑
List one part of a circle system what would not be included in a non rebreathing system.   No soda lime  
🗑
What is an ideal reading for MAP   70 mm/Hg and above  
🗑
Which organ is particularly sensitive to drop in MAP   Kidneys  
🗑
Does Pentothal cause both cardiac and respiratory depression?   Yes  
🗑
Which reflexes are still present in stage 2 of anesthetic depth   palpebral, pinnal, jaw tone, pedal, corneal, occular (ALL ARE PRESENT)  
🗑
What can happen if Pentothal is given outside the vein?   Tissue necrosis and Tissue sloughing  
🗑
when would you need to take a dental radiograph   Slab fracture, missing teeth, loose teeth, broken tooth  
🗑
What are the dental film range numbers starting at the smallest   0-4  
🗑
Name one reason why anesthetic problems and emergencies arise?   Human error, poor monitoring of symptoms, miscalculation  
🗑
How is Telazol metabolized and excreted?   Metabolized in liver, excreted in kidneys  
🗑
List one disadvantage of Tiletamine with respect to monitoring or patient recovery   Many reflexes are still present, which is a vital way to monitor stages and planes of anesthesia  
🗑
What effect does Isoflurane have on blood pressure?   It lowers blood pressure  
🗑
How is isoflurane excreted from the body?   it's exhaled  
🗑
What topical anesthetic is used when intubating cats and why   Lidocaine- Helps to prevent laryngeal spasms  
🗑
what is mydriasis   pupil dilation  
🗑
Name a drug that causes mydriasis   Atropine  
🗑
Where should a pulse oximeter be placed on an animal to obtain a reading and what is an ideal reading?   On the tongue, anything above 95%  
🗑
Rapid induction of propofol could cause what effect on the body?   Tachycardia  
🗑
List one advantage of a cuffed endotracheal tube   Less gas leakage, controls level of anesthesia better, keeps gesses going in and out of the patient as desired with no excess O2  
🗑
Pressure should not exceed what in cats and dogs with healthy lungs while bagging   20 cm of H20  
🗑
Inhaled agents cause vasoconstriction or vasodilation   Vasodilation  
🗑
Ketamine will increase or decrease the heart rate when used as an anesthetic   increase  
🗑
