A

minimum alveolar concentration=concentration of anesthetic required to prevent movement in response to a stimuli in 50% of normal patientsusually 1.2-1.5 x higher to require a patient not to move to surgical stimuliit is a measure of spinal cord afferent and efferent transmissionSPECIES ISO SEVODOG 1.3% 2.1%CAT 1.7% 3.1%

39

A
  1. blood/gas solubility of the inhalant2. CO3. minute ventilation4. difference btwn the alveolus and venous blood inhalant concentration
40

LIDOCAINE BUPIVACAINEDOG >8 mg/kg >4 mg/kgCAT >6 mg/kg >2 mg/kg*lower therapeutic index of bupivacainelidocaine toxicities seen usually CRI or high IV boluses: initial GI, then neuro, final cardiac and death

45
Q

depolarizing vs nondepolarizing NM blockers

A

depolarizing: succinylchloride (mimic Ach)nondepolarizing (more common): atracurium, vecuronium

46
Q

reversal agents for non depolarizing NM blockers

A

atracurium is generally short acting and degrades via hoffman elimination (independent liver/kidney)1. neostigmine2. edrophoniumboth inhibit ACH-ase therefore incr ACH available may result in cholinergic crisis SLUDDE

lower inhalantIVF small bolusesalpha agonists (ephedrine, phenylephrine)dopamine (higher doses than for Beta effects)if not effective with above, vasopressin

50
Q

anesthesia considerations for patients with cardiac disease

A

HCM (cats) with or without SAM–aim to slow HR, maintain volume without fluid overloadDCM (dobies)–require inotropic support; risk arrhthymiasValvular endocardiosis (old toy breeds)–aim to incr stroke volume and fwd flow; risk volume overload**lower surgical fluid volume rate, consider isotonic low sodium fluid (0.45% NaCl with 2.5% dextrose), monitor CVP, use benzos NOT alpha 2 agonists, etomidate >propofol (vasodilatory effects)

51
Q

R-A-A-S system goals for compensatory patients

A

INCR BPRETAIN intravascular fluidHYPERvolemia

52
Q

T/Fketamine is contraindicated in animals that may be sensitive to the effects of catecholamines or that have HCM

A

TRUERemember, ketamine also has a mild sympathomimetic effect in animals with an intact SNS. Can increase the work load on heart.

53
Q

T/Flidocaine is contraindicated in patients with third degree heart block

A

TRUEthough lidocaine can help treat arrythmiasdo NOT want to treat third degree AV block because patients are dependent on life saving ventricular escape rhythms.

54
Q

Branham reflex

A

after ligation of PDAdecrease HR and incr BPthis is due to a rapid drastic change and increase in after load after ligation. does not always require treatment with anticholinergic

55

A

Na channel blockers lidocaine , procainamidedo NOT give if hi 2nd degree or 3rd degree AV blockVtach with HR > 150 bpmmultiformR on THypotension during irregular ventricular beatsT wave is followed by immediate QRS without P

56
Q

considerations of the thyroid patient dog vs cat

A

dog hypoT and thyroid neoplasia–consider potential surgical complications (hemorrhage, post op swelling, recurrent laryngeal damage and laryngeal paralysis), hypoCa if PTG removed, rarely myxedema coma, decr plateletscats hyperT–thyroid storm (release catecholamines); thyrotoxic cardiomyopathy (similar to HCM), hypertensive

57
Q

induction agent of choice for animals with thyroid disease

A

propofolavoid thiopental in hypoT because it interfere with release of Tavoid ketamine in hyperT cats bc of thyroid storm and cardiomyopathy

58
Q

considerations of patients with pheochromocytomas

A

tumors arising from chromaffin cells of adrenal medulla that secrete excessive catecholaminespretreatment with phenoxybenzamine (providing alpha adrenergic blockade) consider: blood loss, cross matching, hypertension (may need nitroprusside), tachycardia (may need beta blockers); avoid acepromazine bc may block control with phenoxybenzaminemay need pre or post corticoid/mineralocorticoid supplementation depending on disease process and removal of gland(s)

59
Q

Herrera et al2008 JVIMpredictive factors and effect of phenoxybenzamine in dogs undergoing adrenalectomy for pheochromocytomas

A

pretx phenoxybenzamine (blocks alpha adrenergic receptos)0.6 mg/kg PO q12hr (median 20 days preop)mortality sign diff btwn groups 13% with treatment 48% without treatmentyoung age, decr surgical time, and lack of intraop arrhythmias also were prognostic for survival

A
  1. decreased fraction of inspired air2. hypoventilation3. V/Q mismatch4. diffusion barrier impairment5. R to L shunting

A

IAP 14 cm H20 maximun allowableabove this, renal perfusion is compromisedCO2 insufflation and Trendelenburg fashion (head down) may exacerbate CO2 into blood and hypoventilation

64
Q

air emboli

A

if any air is instilled into the arterial or venous systemcan result in tissue damage due to impaired perfusion or air lock in the R side of the heart that prevents blood from flowing into the lungssigns: sudden drop end tidal CO2, SPO2 and BP

65
Q

how to tx air embolism

A

compressions to drive air out of right side and into the lungs so that it can be exhaledplace dog in LEFT lateral recumbency so air rises in right ventricle

66

A

hindlimb 0.2 ml/kgbody cavities 0.3 ml/kgaseptic, preservation free morphine, lidocaine/bupivacaine**avoid long lasting local anesthetic with cranial spread bc do not want to risk paralyzing respiratory musculature–consider lidocaine
