5% Dehydration | Not detectable |
5%-6% Dehydration | Slight loos in skin turgor |
8% Dehydration | Definate increase in skin turgor, Slight increase in CRT, Possibly dry mucous membranes |
10%-12% Dehydration | Skin turgor, sunken eyes, increased CRT, Dry MM, Increased HR & RR, Cold extremities, Possible signs of shock |
12%-15% Dehydration | Shock and it's clinical signs, very depressed patient, imminent death |
Shock Dose Dog | 20-40 ml/kg IV first 15 minutesthen...60-90 mL/kg/hr |
Maintenance Fluids | 40-60 mL/kg/day |
Blood Transfusion Rate | 0.25 mL/kg for the first 15-20min.5-10 mL/kg/hr max of 22 mL/kg/dog |
P wave | ECG representation of the depolarization of the right and left atria |
PR interval | ECG representation of the begining of atrial depolarization into ventricular depolarization |
QRS complex | ECG expression of ventricular depolarization |
T wave | ECG expression of repolarization of the ventricular myocardium |
Normal Urine Specific Gravity | Dogs >1.035 Cats >1.040 |
Resting Energy Requirement (RER) | <2kg and >45kg: 70(wt.in kg) = Kcal/day2kg-45kg: 70+30(wt.in kg)=Kcal/day |
Maintenance Energy Requirement (MER) considers Illness Energy Factor (IER) | IER x RER = MER Kcal/day |
Illness Energy Requirement factor (IER) | Takes into account severity of illness, ranges from 1.0 for minor conditions, max of 1.4(cats) to 1.6(dogs) for conditions such as sepsis or severe thermal burns |
calculation for volume of formula required | MER/Kcal/ml of formula = ml formula/day, divide further depending on # of feedings/day (usually 3-4) |
Kilovoltage peak (KVP) | High KVP = low contrast (tissue)Low KVP = high contrast (bone) |
Shock Infusion Cat | 10-20ml/kg IV first 15 minutes Then35-50ml/kg over 1 hr |
Transfusion Volume Dog | Weight in lbs x 40 x Desired PCV - Actual PCV ÷ Donor PCV = ml of whole blood needed |
Transfusion Volume Cat | Weight in lbs x 30 x Desired PCV - Actual PCV ÷ Donor PCV = ml of whole blood needed |
Listen to heart sounds | Stethoscope placement Left parasternal rib space 2 - 4 = pulmonic valve Left mid thorax rib space 3 - 5 = aortic valve, Left parasternal rib space 4 - 6 = mitral valve, Right mid thorax rib space 3 - 5 = tricuspid valve |
