A &A (BBCH24 and A&ABB) Flashcards
what is the recommended acclimation period for rodents?
24-72hrs
what class of anesthetic are ketamine and tiletamine in?
dissociative
effects produced by ketamine
a degree of analgesia and immobility without muscle relaxation, adequate for restraint but not for anesthesia
what class of anesthetic are barbituates (sodium pentobarbital) in?
sedative hypnotics
effects produced by barbiturates?
minimal analgesic effect, affect consciousness, dose related respiratory and cardiovascular depression, decreased cerebral blood flow and intracranial pressure
mechanism and classification of Inactin
barbituate, sedative hypnotic
uses of Inactin
long duration of anesthesia, 3hrs or more in the rat
considerations for Propofol
1) alkylphenol derivative 2) respiratory and cardiovascular depression 3) resembles thiopental 4) rapid recovery
another name for Avertin
Tribromoethanol
considerations for the use of Avertin
short surgical procedures give IP but degradation products are irritants and toxic so may be recommended for terminal procedures only but has been used in transgenic mouse production narrow safety margin- respiratory and circulatory depression, generally unpredictable
describe neuroleptics
combination of potent opioids and butyrophenone tranquilizers
effects of alpha-chloralose
minimal analgesia, not recommended for painful manipulations, used in studies of long duration while preserving autonomic reflexes, not suitable for survival procedures due to rough induction, prolonged recovery and seizures
uses for chloral hydrate
sedative hypnotic, medium duration light anesthesia with minimal effects on cardiovascular function or reflexes, associated with peritonitis and adynamic ileus, carcinogenic
properties of urethane
(aka ethyl carbamate) greater analgesia, prolonged stable anesthesia in rats, liver and pulmonary damage and carcinogenic, not suitable for recovery anesthesia
effects of metomidate and etomidate
rapid loss of consciousness, minimal analgesia, good cardiovascular stability, bad in that it suppresses the adrenocortical function of some species
sevoflurane+rats+soda lime= ?
compound A- nephrotoxic
receptor for Buprenorphine?
partial mu agonist
example of alpha2 agonists
xylazine, dexmedetomidine
side effects of alpha2 agonists
hyperglycemia, bradycardia, vasoconstriction, hypothermia
side effects of additional dosing of alpha2 agonists
bradycardia and cardiac arrest
reversal for alpha2 agonists
atipamezole
examples of benzodiazepines
diazepam and midazolam
effects of benzodiazepines
anxiolysis, sedation, and muscle relaxation, not analgesic
reversal of benzodiazepines
flumazenil
what form of post op care has been shown to significantly increase rates of pregnancy and fetal implantation?
supplemental heat overnight
what are the considerations of anesthetics for mouse fetal surgery and why?
isoflurane causes uterine relaxation alpha2 agonists reduce uterine blood flow and increase uterine contractility
effects of isoflurane anesthesia
1) cardio and neuro protective 2) little to no GI and liver 3) mixed on the lungs (can cause cilliary disfunction) 4) leukopenia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia in C3H/HeN mice 5) hypogylcemia and metabolic acidosis in neonatal mice
effects of halothane anesthesia
1) most extensive effects on cardiopulmonary system 2) potent bronchodilator 3) neuroprotective 4) sustained elevation in cortisterone for up to 24 hours
effects of sevoflurane anesthesia
1) cardioprotective and neuroprotective (brain not spinal cord) 2) does not affect tracheal epilethial cell cilliary function 3) nephrotoxic for rats (compound A)
effects of desflurane anesthesia
1) quick recovery 2) neuroprotective 3) cardioprotective (even during and after infarct, potential treatment)
effects of methoxyflurane
1) low concentration at room temp, most often used in a bell jar set up 2) profound effect on hormone release (HPA axis, ACTH and corticosterone release)
effects of enflurane
1) lower margin of safety, apenic index is lower than MAC 2) epileptogenic
which anesthetic is thought to be responsible for causing ocular lesions in rats
ketamine/ xylazine
physiologic effects of ketamine/diazepam in rodents
minimal cardiovascular and respiratory effects poor muscle relaxation
physiologic effects of pentobarbital in rodents
significant cardiovascular depression in mice hypotension and uncompensated respiratory acidosis in rats
effects of Thiopental in rodents
ultrashort acting barbiturate induction agent administered IV irritant, not advisable for survival procedures
physiologic effects of Telazol in rodents
very narrow safety margin
mechanism of action of phenothiazine tranquilizers
reduce the animals reaction to handling or pain via sedation and CNS depression, no analgesia, additive positive effect with other anesthetics
effects of morphine in hamsters
analgesia without CNS or respiratory depression
effects of morphine on intracranial pressure
increases ICP
which NSAIDS do not work via the COX 1 or 2 pathway?
Acetaminophen and dipyrone
what is the most safe anesthetic choice for neonatal rodents?
inhalents
what is the second most safe anesthetic choice for neonatal rodents?
hypothermia can be used in altricial rodents up to 7 days of age
side effect of telazol in rabbits?
nephrotoxicity
what are the traditional reflexes used to monitor anesthetic depth in rabbits
righting palpebral corneal pedal withdrawl pinna
which reflex is the most accurate measure of depth of anesthesia in rabbits
pinna, pedal withdrawl, corneal, palpebral
what is the recommended fasting for rabbits weighing under 3kg?
not more than 12 hours
what are some signs of the hypnotzed state in rabbits?
miosis analgesia increased depth of respiration reduced respiratory rate, heart rate, and BP
