K9 and Feline Anesthesia
This route of induction can't be titrated to effect
What is IM induction?
Being obligate nasal breathers and having abdominal organs place excess weight on lungs and cause atelectasis causes a challenge to what system in horses?
What is a challenge to the respiratory system?
This is rarely done in cattle
What is general anesthesia?
Difficult to access in pigs and complicates anesthesia
What are peripheral vessels?
Key physical abnormality in rodents/rabbits that indicate systemic illness
What is ocular and/or nasal discharge?
This anesthetic agent is primarily metabolized by skeletal/smooth muscle and liver
What are inhalants?
Nerves may be compressed when recumbent (need padding) in horses and provides a challenge to this body system
What is a challenge to the neurological system?
Drug category not used in ruminants because it thickens secretions too much
What are anticholinergics?
Location to give sedation in pigs
Pre-anesthetic blood work can be performed in this species only
What are rabbits?
This induction method provides the fastest induction time, best control of anesthetic depth
What is IV induction + Inhalant Maintenance?
Myopathy can result without sufficient padding due to loss of blood flow in horses and is a challenge to what body system
What is a challenge to the musculoskeletal system?
Can cause cattle to "bloat" under anesthesia
What is lack of eructation (burping)?
Common anesthetic combination in swine
What is Telazol-Ketamine-Xylazine (TKX)?
This is not done in rabbits/rodents unless the stomach is involved in the planned surgical procedure
Using this reduces risk of aspiration and anatomic dead space
What is ET tube intubation?
These type of drugs are not used due to colic risk
What are anticholinergics?
Performed with the ruminant in sternal
What is endotracheal intubation?
Difficult to perform in swine
What is endotracheal intubation?
This drug is not used in rabbits due to high levels of atropinase in this species
What is atropine?
The other term for interior diameter of mainstem bronchi (and this is reduced by using an ET tube)
What is deadspace?
Performed blindly by extending the head and neck in horses
What is intubation?
Techniques used for standing surgery in cattle
What is a line block, inverted L block, or epidural?
Occurs due to a mutation in the gene controlling calcium metabolism in muscle
What is malignant hyperthermia or Porcine Stress Syndrome?
A key concern during anesthesia with rodents/rabbits
How far an ET tube should be inserted
What is it must reach the thoracic inlet?
Recommended method to address if horse becomes light while under inhalant anesthesia
What is re-dose with induction agent?
Standing surgery is often used to perform these procedures in cattle
What is a c-section or GI surgery?
Serious or life threatening complication associated with inhalant anesthesia in swine
What is malignant hyperthermia or Porcine Stress Syndrome?
Common protocol for rabbits
What is injectable anesthesia with a chamber induction?
This period begins when anesthetic is stopped and ends when patient can stand and walk
What is anesthetic recovery?
Other names for "Field Anesthesia"
What is a "triple drip" or IV anesthesia?
Great for OB procedures and palpation
What is a caudal epidural?
Pigs often do this when restrained
What is squeal?
Rabbits and rodents should do this ASAP after surgery
What is eat?
