Q

What is the effect of Atropine on heart rate and blood pressure?

A

↑ HR & ↑ BP

Following IV injection of atropine, an initial increase in vagal tone may occur and a transient decreased heart rate or heart block can occur. This is followed by the expected increase in heart rate

Q

What duration of analgesia do you expect when using butorphanol?

A

30 mins - 2 hours

Butorphanol is a mixed opioid agonist-antagonist (agonist at kappa receptor and antagonist at mu receptor). It is used for mild to moderate visceral pain, not effective for severe or orthopedic pain.

Q

In what stage of anesthesia are vomiting and swallowing reflexes lost?

A

Stage III

20
Q

T/F: Doppler is used for reliable detection of diastolic pressure

A

False

Doppler is used for reliable detection of systolic pressure

21
Q

What is the approximate duration of action of propofol?

A

<20 minutes

Rapid-acting, ultra-short duration (<20 mins)

22
Q

What respiratory effects might you expect after administering propofol?

A

dose-dependent depression & apnea

Always be prepared to assist ventilation

23
Q

What is the equation you use to calculate proper size of rebreathing bag?

A

Body weight x Tidal volume x 5

  • Normal tidal volume = 10-20 mls/kg
24
Q

What flow rate is typically used with a non-rebreathing system?

A

200-300 ml/kg/min

Throughout the entire procedure

25
Q

T/F: Calcium gluconate 23% and 0.9% NaCl both lower potassium concentration and are used for treatment of hyperkalemia

A

False!

  • Both are used for treatment of hyperkalemia, but Calcium gluconate 23% does NOT lower [K+]. It protects the myocardium against the cardiotoxic effects of hyperkalemia and prevents arrhythmias*
  • 0.9% NaCl dilutes the high serum [K+]*
26
Q

What is the normal PaO2 range for arterial blood on 100% O2?

A

~500 mmHg

27
Q

What is the most common pathologic arrhythmia in horses?

A

Atrial Fibrillation

28
Q

What is the approximate blood volume (in mL) for a 10 kg dog?

A

~900 mL

90 mL/kg x 10 kg

29
Q

What is the approximate blood volume (in mL/kg) for ovines?

A

60 mL/kg

30
Q

What is the normal pH range for arterial blood?

A

7.35 - 7.45

31
Q

What is the normal PaO2 range for arterial blood in room air?

A

80 - 110 mmHg

32
Q

Which of the following local anesthetics would you expect to have the longest duration of action?

  • Procaine
  • Lidocaine
  • Mepivacaine
  • Bupivacaine
A

Bupivacaine

Bupivacaine has ~95% protein binding and a duration of action anywhere from 180-600 minutes

33
Q

Identify this ‘irregularly irregular’ arrhythmia in the horse:

A

Atrial Fibrillation

34
Q

T/F: Dobutamine causes vasoconstriction

A

False

Dobutamine acts on β receptors and causes increased contractility and heart rate. Vasoconstriction occurs as a result of α receptor activity.

35
Q

T/F: Atropine is best utilized in vagal-induced asystole

A

True

36
Q

What is the most common site to pull a sample for arterial blood-gas analysis in a dog?

A

Dorsal Pedal Artery

Other sites include the auricular artery, femoral artery, caudal artery, and lingual artery

37
Q

Flow rate delivered to a patient with the O2 flush valve:

A

35-75 L/min

Bypasses the vaporizer and delivers O2 directly to the patient breathing circuit

38
Q

Induction agent that causes tissue necrosis if it gets outside of the vein:

A

Thiopental

39
Q

Opioids trigger the release of __________, resulting in vasodilation, etc.

A

Histamine

40
Q

What adjuvant is added to Propofol 28 that makes it toxic to cats?

A

Benzyl alcohol

41
Q

Name three methods of measuring blood pressure in a patient:

A

direct, oscillometric, doppler

42
Q

Which nerve(s) need(s) to be blocked when dehorning a goat?

A

Cornual br. of infratrochlear nerve and cornual br. of zygomaticotemporal nerve

Note that this is different than in the cow! In the cow, only ONE nerve needs to be blocked.

43
Q

Perioperative acute loss over ____% blood volume should be replaced via transfusion

A

Perioperative acute loss over 20% blood volume should be replaced via transfusion

44
Q

What is the drug of choice for treatment of malignant hyperthermia?

A

Dantrolene

45
Q

Can be placed on anesthesia machine and used to open small airway, prevent atalectasis after lung trauma or edema (2.5-20 cmH2O)

A

PEEP valve

Positive end-expiratory pressure valve
