This disinfectant & antiseptics effectiveness is decreased in the presence of organic material.
povidone-iodine (PVI)
This is the most common multifilament tht can be used for rapid healing tissues, such as oral cavity or periocular skin. It is braided, so should be avoided in infected fields.
Polyglactin 910 (Vicryl)
What is the minimum blood analysis that should be done for neonates undergoing anesthesia?
PCV, TP, Glucose
What is the best indirect clinical indicator of perfusion?
MAP
If you notice a patient is hypercapnic and hypoventilating, what is the first step you should employ?
1. check anesthetic depth (if too high, lower anesthetic)
Why does chlorhexidine have residual activity?
due to keratin binding
Enzymatic digestion results in significant tissue reactivity such as:
edema and redness
What premedications should be avoided in neonates?
alpha-2 agonists and acepromazine
A doppler non-invasive BP measures:
systolic pressure (SAP)
What premedication drugs can lead to apnea?
propofol, ketamine
This sterilization method is used for items that cannot withstand steam sterilization. It has a lengthy cycle time and is toxic, flammable, and carcinogenic.
This suture will be used for castration procedure. It is a synthetic monofilament that has little tissue reaction.
Polyglecaprone 25 (monocryl)
This induction agent has less cardiovascular effects than propofol and can be given IM.
alfaxalone
Hypoventilation leads to respiratory _____(alkalosis/acidosis).
acidosis
What can be used to treat hypotension if a decreased preload is responsible?
fluid bolus of crystalloids
improve IPPV (reduce PIP/PEEP) or stop IPPV
What method of sterilization can be used for endoscopes?
peracetic acid sterilization
cold chemical sterilization
What type of needle point should be used for soft tissue, such as fascia? This will be used for subcutaneous layer of tissue during castration procedure.
Taper (round) point needle

rebreathing

anticholinergics (atropine)
HR is low (bradycardia) and BP is low, which is indicative of treatment being required. Can also stop/reduce/antagonize anesthetics.
What type of antibiotic is used for prophylaxis for good practice use?
discontinue after 24 hours
This has exceptionally high tensile strength and is non-absorbable. It is used for orthopedic surgery and joint stabilization.
