Q

What should be done in a physical exam?

A

Quiet room
Auscultate for a long time
Both sides
Feel pulses at the same time
Check for: muffled heart sounds, cough, edema, ascites, jugular pulses, wide forelimb stance, pale MM, cyanosis
Exercise the animal and see who gets tired first

Q

What are the anesthetic rules of thumb?

A

Avoid increased myocardial oxygen demand
Avoid fluid overload
Maintain adequate oxygen delivery
Maintain HR near that of awake at rest level
Inotropes are great for poor contractility
Do not suddenly change cardia meds
Correct arrhythmias if possible
Pre-oxygenate
Attention to detail and monitoring are as important as drug choices
