Preanesthetics and Induction
Hydromorphone
What is an mu-agonist opiod
Turns a liquid anesthetic into a gas
What is a vaporizer?
30-45mmHg
What is the normal end-tidal CO2 (ETCo2) range for an anesthetized canine or feline patient?
Pacemaker of the heart
What is the SA node?
A measure of the potency of inhaled anesthetics
What is the MAC (Minimum Alveolar Concentration)?
NMDA Receptor
What is ketamine?
Safely collects and disposes of excess anesthetic gases from the breathing circuit
What is the scavenging system?
Result of an ETCO2 of 55mmHg
What is hypercapnia
The complex that represents the electrical activity of the heart's ventricles during their contraction phase
What is the QRS complex?
You have a patient whose MAP is < 45mmHg. What initial step should you do if the patient isn't a heart patient?
Increase the IV fluids
Midazolam
What is a benzodiazepine?
What test confirms that the anesthetic machine and circuit are sealed, preventing gas loss and ensuring proper delivery
What is a pressure test?
Low blood pressure, which can be a symptom of shock or other serious conditions
Hypotension
An ECG wave form normal in dogs but not in cats
What is sinus bradycardia?
A technique used to safely manage a patient's endotracheal tube (ETT) cuff to make sure it's not overinflated
What is the minimal occlusion technique?
Propofol
What is an induction agent?
Delivers a constant, safe pressure of gas regardless of tank pressure?
What is the pressure regulator?
The average arterial pressure during a single cardiac cycle
What is the MAP (mean arterial pressure)?
An irregular ECG wave form that can be corrected with lidocaine
What is a VPC (ventricular premature contraction?)
Physiological gas exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs and tissues
What is respiration?
Butorphanol
What is a partial agonist or u-receptor?
Controls the flow rate of gases, such as oxygen and anesthetic agents, to the patient
What is the flow meter?
An anesthetized patient's capnography waveform suddenly develops a sloped, "shark fin" appearance. What does this likely indicate?
What is an airway obstruction, such as bronchoconstriction or a kinked ET tube?
A heart rhythm disorder that affects the sinus node, the natural pacemaker of the heart
Hint: A common condition in older dogs, particularly miniature schnauzers, west highland white terriers, and cocker spaniels
What is sick sinus syndrome?
What is the dose of 0.1mg/kg of Hydromorphone with a concentration of 2mg/ml for 26lb a dog? And how many mls will you draw up in a syringe?
Dose: 1.2mg
Mls: 0.6mls.
