Anesthesia Quiz Flashcards
On what size patients would you use a non-rebreathing system?
<3kg
What is the normal SaO2?
95-100%
Where can you feel for a pulse in SA and LA?
SA: labial, digital, dorsal pedal, metatarsal LA: auricular, transverse facial, facial
What is the normal heart rate for a horse?
28-44
What size cuff should be used for Doppler/Oscillometric?
WIDTH = 30-40% the circumference of the limb If too big or tight - underestimates If too small or loose - overestimates
What is the normal temperature for a dog?
100.4-102.2
What are pulse ox results affected by?
Tissue thickness
Hypoperfusion, vasoconstriction
Anemia
Pigment of tongue
Altered Hb Binding: -CO/CN poisoning (will read higher than the actual %), Methemoglobinemia (reads in mid 80s)
What type of waveform is this?
What are some possible causes?
Rebreathing waveform (not returning to baseline)
Possible Causes:
Faulty expiratory valve
Too low fresh gas flow in non-rebreathing system
Expired Soda Lime (malfunction in Co2 absorber)
Insufficient expiratory time
What are the components of the ECG wave?
P wave - atrial depolarization QRS wave - ventricular depolarization; atrial repolarization T wave - ventricular repolarization
What is the normal respiration rate for a dog?
10-30
Is PaCO2 respiratory or metabolic? Hco3-?
PaCo2 is respiratory
HCO3- is metabolic
What type of system is this?
Mapleson D
(Non-rebreathing)
What is the normal heart rate for a sheep?
70-90
Where should the cuff be placed for oscillometric BP measurement?
**At level of base of heart SA: distal radius, distal tibia, metatarsus LA: Metacarpus, Tail
What is the normal SaO2 on 100% O2? on air?
100%
95%
What is the normal temperature for a cat?
101.3-102.2
What is a normal SpO2 reading?
>95%
What type of waveform is this?
Expiratory obstruction/Bronchospasm
Give B2 agonist
“Shark Fin” appearance
How do you calculate what size reservoir bag to use?
15 ml/kg * 6 * BW (kg) = mL of bag
**ROUND UP
Is PaCO2 an acid or a base? HCO3-?
PaCO2 is an acid
HCO3- is a base
What is the normal heart rate for a cat?
120-180
What is the normal respiration rate for a sheep?
12-20
What type of system is this?
Circle (Y)
(Rebreathing)
Where should the leads be placed in a SA and what leads do you use?
Lead II RA = white LA = Black LL = Red right is white, smoke over fire
Why do we use ECG?
record of heart’s electrical activity (action potentials) from body surface. Does NOT indicate the heart is contracting. HR, Rhythm, Morphology, Cardiac oxygenation, electrolyte disturbances
What is normal ETCO2?
35-45 mmHg
What is TCO2?
Almost the same as HCO3- –> 99% of Co2 is HCO3-
What is the normal PaCO2?
35-45 mmHg
What are some advantages of the Doppler BP?
Excellent pulse monitor Fewer artifacts from movement, arrhythmia, vasoconstriction Can measure BP on small animals too
What is the normal respiration rate for a cat?
20-40
Define Hypothermia
What are some consequences?
<96
Below 94 MAC decreases - less anesthetic required
Recovery is prolonged
CV function is depressed
