Anesthesia of Large Animals, Rodents, and Rabbits
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Atelectasis | Collapse of a portion or all of one or both lungs |
| Neuropathy | Disease or injury of a peripheral nerve |
| Standing Chemical Restraint | A type of chemical restraint used in horses in which the patient is heavily sedated but remains standing throughout the procedure |
| Field Anesthesia | General anesthesia performed away from the veterinary hospital at a farm or stable; used most commonly for short procedures (20-45 minutes) in large animal patients |
| Total Intravenous Anesthesia (TIVA) | Induction and maintenance of anesthesia by intravenous injection of ultra-short-acting anesthetics with no concurrent use of inhalant agents; accomplished using repeat bolus injections or a constant rate infusion |
| Epistaxis | Nosebleed |
| Positive Inotrope | A drug that increases isotropy (the force of heart muscle contractions) |
| Ventilation-Perfusion Mismatch | A lack of equality in the quantity of oxygen that reaches the alveoli per minute and the volume of blood that perfuses the alveoli per minute; results in alveoli that are oxygenated but are not perfused or alveoli that are perfused but are not oxygenated |
| Partial Intravenous Anesthesia (PIVA) | Use of inhalant and injectable agents in combination to maintain anesthesia |
| Demand Valve | A valve attached to the endotracheal tube during anesthetic recovery that is used to deliver oxygen to the patient at a high flow rate |
| Insufflation | Provision of oxygen by placement of an oxygen supply tube inside an endotracheal tube, nasopharyngeal tube, or nostril |
| Tilt Table | A specialized table used to restrain cattle, and occasionally horses, undergoing anesthetic procedures, by securing the patient to the table with ropes and straps and tilting the table to the desired angle |
| Regurgitus | Regurgitated luminal contents consisting of saliva and ingesta |
| Eructate | Eject gas from the stomach; burp; used most commonly in reference to ruminants |
| Bolus | A pharmaceutical in the form of a large solid tablet or mass for oral administration; a relatively large volume of a liquid pharmaceutical or intravenous administration all at once, or a large mass of food ready to be swallowed |
| Total Injectable Anesthesia | Induction and maintenance of anesthesia by intramuscular injection of an anesthetic agent or combination of agents with no concurrent use of inhalant agents; a technique commonly employed in swine |
| TKX | A combination of telazol, ketamine, and xylazine, widely used to produce heavy sedation to total intravenous anesthesia in pigs |
| Porcine Stress Syndrome (Malignant Hyperthermia) | A hereditary, metabolic condition of swine caused by a mutation in one of the genes that controls calcium metabolism in muscle fibers; occurs in response to some anesthetic agents; signs include muscle rigidity, hypercapnia, hyperkalemia, raise in temp... |
| Intraperitoneal | In the intraperitoneal space of the abdominal cavity; a route of administration used primarily in small laboratory mammals for some drugs and fluids |
| Intraosseous | In the bone marrow cavity; a route of administration sometimes used as an alternative to IV injection; especially useful for very small patients in which venipuncture is difficult |
| Droperidol | A sedative that was combined with the opioid fentanyl in the product Innovar Vet; formerly used to provide chemical restraint and analgesia for minor procedures in laboratory animals |
| Fluanisone | A sedative that is combined with the opioid fentanyl in the product Hypnorm; used to provide chemical restraint and analgesia for minor procedures in laboratory animals |
| Laryngeal Mask/ Supraglottic Airway Device | A device used to maintain an open airway in an anesthetized patient that connects with the opening of the glottis, but unlike an endotracheal tube, does not invade the tracheal lumen |
| Epistaxis | Nosebleed |
