Which statement is correct regarding recovery from anesthesia

Which statement is correct regarding acepromazine used in small animals
o Because of the inhibitory effect on the thermoregulatory center, hypothermia invariably develops with the usage of acepromazine

Stadium analgesia
o Is a transitional phase towards the state of complete unconsciousness

o Alpha-2 agonist decrease renal function
Which statement is correct regarding the GGE (guaiphenesine)

Which statement is correct
o The overexposed area is dark in the digital x-ray image
o The overexposed area is “noisy” in the digital x-ray image
o It is easy to overexpose digital radiographs
o Overexposure looks the same on both digital and analogous radiographs
o Overexposure looks the same on both digital and analogous radiographs
Which statement is not correct
o The commotion causes irreversible damage in the brain
o Haematoma can be the consequence of a contusion
o The urinary bladder injury can cause bloody urine
o In case of severe pneumothorax, emergency thoracocentesis is necessary

Reversible drugs and their antagonists
o Diazepam:flumazenil; fentanyl:naloxone; medetomidine:atipamezole
Which statement is correct concerning preanesthetic assessment
o Sedation is always recommended, regardless of the general condition of the patient, in order to reduce further anesthetic doses
