100
Rate varies with respiration and can be a normal finding in dogs.
What is a (respiratory) sinus arrythmia?
200
This circle-system component chemically removes CO2 before gas returns to the patient.
What is the CO2 absorber?
200
An unconscious patient paddles and vocalizes during induction. This excitement stage is the likely explanation.
What is stage II?
200
The heart beats 120 times per minute, but only 90 peripheral pulses are palpable.Name this mismatch.
What is a pulse deficit?
200
A capnogram’s inspiratory baseline is 0 mmHg and its end-expiratory peak is 42 mmHg. This is the ETCO2 to record.
What is 42 mmHg?
200
An induction drug is given in small increments until the desired clinical endpoint occurs. This dosing approach has a name.
What is titration?
200
The anesthetic stages between which patients lose consciousness.
What is between stage I and stage II?
200
Main reason why anesthetic face masks must be tight fitting.
What is exposure to anesthetic gases for the staff? (and potential for more anesthetic th;an necessary due to escaped gases).
200
No ventricular electrical activity. Confirm immediately on patient. 
What is asystole?
300
During a manual breath, this valve may be closed briefly. Immediately afterward, it must reopen.
What is the APL (Adjustable Pressure limiting) or pop-off valve?
300
In a dog, central eyes can occur at both a light and a deep plane. Name TWO other findings to help distinguish them.
What are jaw tone, reflexes, respiratory pattern, pulse quality, or blood pressure?
300
Some P waves appear without a following QRS complex. This degree of AV block best fits.
What is second-degree AV block?
300
Increase in baseline of CO2, waveform does not go back to zero. Name the most likely cause of this finding.
What is rebreathing of carbon dioxide?
Consider saturation of CO2 absorbent, problem with unidirectional expiratory valve, or inadequate fresh gas flow.
300
An estimated ETT size is 6.0 mm. Under the three-tube rule, these other TWO sizes should also be ready.
What are 5.5 mmID and 6.5 mmID?
300
Formula used for calculating a rebreathing bag.
What is 60 ml/kg? Always round up to the nearest sized bag.
300
The 2 structures used to measure the proper length for an ETT.
What are the muzzle and the thoracic inlet?
300
Early, wide QRS with an abnormal shape. Monitored for post GDV and splenectomy surgeries
What are ventricular premature contractions or ventricular premature complexes? (VPCs).
400
Using 60 mL/kg, an 18-kg dog needs at least 1,080 mL of reservoir-bag volume. Of the following bags, this one should be chosen. 0.5L, 1.0L, 2.0L, 3.0L
What is 2-L bag?
400
A dog begins moving during tissue manipulation. Jaw tone increases, and HR and BP rise together. Assess these TWO parts of the anesthetic plan.
What are anesthetic depth and analgesia?
400
The systolic blood pressure in dogs that roughly correlates with a MAP of 60.
What is 90?
400
A slanted expiratory rise creates a shark-fin capnogram. This mechanical airway problem should be checked promptly.
What is a kinked or partially obstructed ETT or breathing circuit?
400
A cat’s vocal folds close when touched during intubation. Name the complication and one safe next step.
What is laryngospasm, followed by stopping the attempt and reassessing depth or using prescribed topical lidocaine?

Approximate time period after IM induction of anesthesia for peak effect.
What is 15-20 minutes?
400

What is the glottis?
400
Decreased ETCO2 with normal capnograh. Name and 2 potential causes.
What is hypocapnia (abnormally low end tidal CO2 level). Possible causes include hyperventilation (insufficient anesthetic depth or pain), hypothermia, reduced cardiac output, excessive mechanical ventilation.
500
Before connecting a patient, the circuit reaches 25 cm H2O but loses pressure with flow off and the patient port occluded. This is the next step before use.
What is locate and correct the leak prior to starting the procedure?
500
After an inhalant increase, a dog develops flaccid jaw tone, shallow breaths, weak pulses, and MAP 46 mmHg. Name the likely problem and an immediate response.
What are excessive anesthetic depth and prompt reduction of inhalant with veterinary notification?
Also consider flushing the system with 100% oxygen (with patient disconnected)
500
