26
Q

What are the signs of Stage 1 anaesthesia?

A
  • Voluntary responses are present but may be affected by premed
  • The Induction of anaesthesia begins
27
Q

What are the signs of Stage 2 anaesthesia?

A
  • May see some initial involuntary excitement
  • Loss of consciousness occurs
  • Can still blink, swallow, clench jaws, withdraw limb etc
  • Closest stage to being “asleep”
  • Eyes are central
28
Q

What are the signs of Stage 4 anaesthesia?

A

NODY – Not Officially Dead Yet

29
Q

What are the signs of Stage 3, Plane 1 anaesthesia?

A
  • Reflexes are strong, brisk and obvious
  • Heart Rate (HR) and Resp Rate (RR) increase in response to pain
  • Will withdraw limb in response to pinching of toes (Pedal Response)
  • Obvious Palpebral Response
  • Eyes are central and normal (looking at you)
  • Intubation may be possible in dogs but not in cats
30
Q

What are the signs of Stage 3, Plane 2 anaesthesia?

A
  • This is our target plane. Medium Depth Anaesthesia
  • HR and RR stabilise
  • Palpebral is absent
  • Pedal response absent – no withdrawal and no change in HR, RR
  • Eyes have rotated ventrally. Pupil size? Medetomidine?
  • Laryngeal reflex gone in dog but not in cat
  • Good muscle relaxation for most surgeries
  • BP, HR, RR, usually quite stable here
  • No response to pain here
  • This is your comfortable cruising altitude
  • Try to stay right here until the procedure is complete
31
Q

What are the signs of Stage 3, Plane 3 anaesthesia?

A
  • Deep Anaesthesia
  • No response to stimulus anywhere
  • RR and HR can become erratic or depressed
  • Eyes rotate centrally and corneas become dry and reflex lost
  • Pupils dilated
  • Time to decrease the anaesthetic
32
Q

What are the signs of Stage 3, Plane 4 anaesthesia?

A
  • You need to act quickly now to decrease the anaesthetic
  • Pupils are central, dilated and fixed
  • No reflexes
  • Diaphragmatic breathing only
33
Q

What anaesthesia stage and plane is used for surgery?

A

Stage 3, Plane 2.

34
Q

What is the Greek meaning for anaesthesia?

A

Without sensation

35
Q

What is the Greek meaning for analgesia?

A

Without pain

36
Q

What does local anaesthesia affect?

A

Small area (numb fingertip)

37
Q

What does regional anaesthesia affect?

A

Larger area than local (numb hand)

38
Q

What does general anaesthesia affect?

A

The whole patient (numb body)

39
Q

What is the goal of anaesthesia?

A

To provide reversible unconsciousness, amnesia, analgesia, and immobility

40
Q

What are the risks of anaesthesia?

A

Death, hypotension/hypertension, bradycardia, arrhythmias, myocardial depression, vasodilation / vasoconstriction, hypoxia / hypercapnia
