Swine
Domestic swine are less mature at the same age as this group of swine, which can account for differences in anesthetic response between groups.
What is miniature breeds of swine, e.g. Yucatan, gottingen, hanford?
Be sure to pass this if the presurgical fast was not long enough
What is a rumen tube?
Accurate dosing of this drug is difficult in dogs <2kg and therefore should not be used in dogs of this size
What is dexmedatomidine?
An alternative to the endotracheal tube for easy airway access
What is a V-Gel or a Supraglottic Airway Device?
This group of primates typically require a higher dose per kg of anesthetics
What are new world monkeys
Two reasons endotracheal intubation can be difficult, even with the correct size tube
What is the cricoid cartilage, long/narrow larynx, narrow oral cavity, large teeth and tongue, inadequate depth of anesthesia, improper positioning
These drugs provide muscle relaxation, hypnosis, decreased anxiety and mild sedation but can cause excitement when given IV in sheep
What are benzodiazepines.
Diazepam or Midazolam
If used to facilitate intubation, this could cause methemoglobinemia in cats
What is benzocaine?
If surgery lasts longer than this, fluid support is recommended
What is one-half hour
Recommended as a CRI for general anesthesia and as an IM ketamine alternative for immobilization of marmosets
What is Alphaxalone (Alfaxan®)
A CRI of this opioid could be used to improve analgesia with minimal cardiovascular depression
What is fentanyl or sufentanil?
This non-barbiturate is commonly used IV to facilitate intubation and induction of sheep
What is Propofol?
This anesthetic drug is good for fractious dogs, but can be a rough recovery.
What is Telazol? (Tiletamine + Zolazepam)
Fasting for more than 1-4 hours could result in this post-op complication
What is ileus?
Can be neurotoxic in neonatal rhesus macaques and associated with muscle damage in marmosets
What is Ketamine?
The most commonly used injectable combination to provide enough sedation and relaxation to allow intubation
What is Telazol/Xylazine?
Drugs of this class may cause pulmonary edema and hypoxemia in sheep, especially when given at high dose or IV.
What is alpha 2 agonist
This combination of a dissociative, an a2-Agonist, and an opioid makes "Kitty Magic"
What is Ketamine + Dexmedetomidine + Butorphanol?
The reversal agent for this sedative drug is dosed at the same volume as the drug.
What is Dexmedetomidine?
Used to reverse opioid-induced respiratory depression or bradycardia
What is Naloxone?
MH may be caused by this ULAM approved inhalant and would require treatment with this expensive drug (in B2 pharmacy)
What are Isoflurane and dantrolene?
Can also be caused by halothane, sevoflurane, enflurane and desflurane.
An IV CRI combination used to effect for endotracheal intubation then to maintain anesthesia until gas anesthetic takes effect
What is Guaifenesin, Ketamine & Xylazine, AKA Triple Drip
Combined with opioids and alpha2 agonists to combat their side effects of bradycardia and/or hypersalivation
What are anticholinergics (Atropine or Glycopyrrolate)?
Reason that glycopyrrolate is preferred for rabbits
What is Atropinesterase/AtrE? (Approximately 1/3 of all domesticated rabbits have a naturally occurring enzyme in their blood that causes them to metabolize this anticholinergic drug faster)
This barbiturate may be useful for neurosurgery, inducing little effect on CSF pressure and decreasing cerebral blood flow.
What is Pentobarbital?
