Anesthesia Flashcards
ASA 1 and example
Healthy
Elective SX- spay/neuter
ASA II
Mild systemic disease
Mass removal, uncomplicated ortho procedure, well controlled diabetic
ASA III and example
Severe systemic disease
Cardiac dysfunction, poorly controlled DM, mild anemia, early renal disease
ASA IV and example
Severe disease this is constant life threat
Hemoabdomen, sepsis, FB, shock, hypovolemia
ASA V and example
Moribund patient who is not expected to survive without operations
MAssive trauma, multiorgan dysfunciton
What is the grimace scale
Discriminates painful vs nonpainful
five action units - eyes, ears, muzzle whiskers, head position in cats
What is the UNESP Botucatu MCPS
First pain scale to be validated for post-op pain in cats
Looks at 10 different variables
Recuse analgesia required if total >7/30
What is Glasgow
Pain scale for cats
Can be applied to any pain
Rescue analgesia >5/20
What is transduction
conversion of noxious stimulus into electrical energy by peripheral nociceptor
Mechanical pain to electrical
Transmission
impulse propagation from the site of the oral injury through the CN V
Modulation
When neurons from the pain fibers synapse with nociceptive neurons in the medulla
What is wind up pain
Peripheral sensitization remains untreated and the exacerbation of intensity of the nociception
Glutamate binds to NMDA = increase pain (this is why ketamine helps with wind up)
What analgesics affect transduction, transmission and modulation
- Transduction - local anesthetic, opiod, NSAID, Steroids
- Transmission - local anesthetics, Alpha2 Agonist
- Modulation - local anesthetic, alpha 2 agonist, opiods, NMDA antagonist, anticonvulsants, NSAID
How does hyperalgesia, analgesia, allodynia effect pain and the stimulus curve
- hyperalgesia - increase responsiveness, shift curve to the left
- Analgesia- decreases response, shiftst curve to the right and flattens it
- Allodynia - innocuous stimuli begin to elicit pain, shifts curve to the farthest left
What is the purpose of the anesthesia machine and circuit
safe delivery of inhalants and O2 with removal of CO2 and excess gases
What is normal tidal volume
10-15ml/kg
What is solubility (anesthetic gas)
Usually expressed as coefficient known as ostwalds coefficient
The greater blood gas partition coefficient = great solubility in the blood
increased solubility = longer induction recovery times
What is the most to least soluble anesthetic gases
Halothane>ISO>SEVO>Nitrous oxide>Desflurane
Inhalant effects on the body
CNS - depression via inhibitory GABA, NMDA, AMPA
Resp - depression
CV - Decrease CO, hypotension, vasodilation
Kidney - decrease renal BF
Liver - mild
Malignant hyperthermia
Minimum alveolar concentration
of inhalant: produces no response in 50% of animals exposed to noxious stimulus
1MAC = light anesthesia
1.5MAC = surgical
2MAC = deep
0.5MAC = awake
MAC of Sevo vs Iso
Sevo = 2.3
Iso = 1.3
What are the 4 stages of anesthesia
1 = induction to loss of consciousness
2 = excitement, spontaneous muscle movement
3 = end of spont muscle mvt and regular breathing
3a= light, regular breathing, pupil size normal, ventromedial, some response
3b= medium, shallow breathing, moderate pupil size, ventromedial, minimal palpebral, no response
3c= deep, jerky breathing, dilated and central pulse, decreased corneal reflex
4 = extreme CNS depression and respiratory arrest
How much of the body is water
55-60%
Blood volume is about how much? how to calculate transfusion
90ml/kg
ml of donor blood = recipient blood volume x desired PCV - active pcv/pcv of donor
P wave seen on ECG
atrial depolarization
PR interval represents
atrial depolarization adn conduction of AV node
QRS complex represents
ventricular depolarization
TT represents on ECG
repolarization
AV block type 1: if r is far from P
second degree av block type 1: wenkenback: PR gets longer, longer, drops
Second degree av block type 2: mobitz: P waves dont produce QRS response. Intermittent QRS dropped
3rd degree av block: P and Q dont agree
