Anesthetizing for dzs (Shih) Flashcards
1
Q
Upper airway dz patients considerations
A
- prone to hypoxia
- distress (catecholamine)
- prone to obstruction
- pulmonary edema
2
Q
TX for pulmonary edema
A
- furosemide
- open trachea
- don’t give lots of fluids
- give some O2
3
Q
With pulmonary disease if possible
A
- correct underlying dz before sx
- AB
- furosemide
- etc
4
Q
propofol decresases
A
ciliary moveoment in airways
5
Q
Pulmonary dz
concerns
A
- hypoventilation & hypoxia
- most drugs decrease ventilation
- change in compliance
- increase pulmonary resistance
- accumulate secretion
6
Q
Pulm dz
Pre-op assessment
A
- Hx and Rx
- Chest radiographs
- Pulse Ox, Blood gas
- Exercise tolerance: 60 second walk
7
Q
Pulm dz
Drugs
A
- premed: low sedation
- induction
- avoid increase in O2 demand
- avoid apnea
- pre-oxygenate (5 min)
8
Q
Anesthesia plan for Pulm Dz
A
2 phase: SLOW then FAST
- pre-oxygenate (5 min)
- low dose opioid (butorph or meth)
- Cerenia
- THEN induction Propofol and FAST FAST FAST
- inflate cuff
- rapid sequence induction
9
Q
Pulm Dz
Monitoring and recovery
A
- monitor
- capnograph
- pulse ox
- blood gas
- recovery
- low stress, high O2: nasal delivery as good as O2 cage
- patient position (patient confort)
10
Q
Worst thing to do for a HCM (heart dz patient)
A
tachycardia
11
Q
HCM in cats
A
- most commonly dx cardiac dz in cats
- stiff ventricle, poor diastolic function
- left ventricle outflow tract obstruction (LVOT)
- 15% of HCM cats have no clinical signs
12
Q
Outflow obstruction
A
- Worst LVOT
- Tachycardia
- inc contractility
- vasodilation

13
Q
Dexmedetomidine worst drug ever for heart dz except…..
A
- HCM cats
- causes bradycardia
14
Q
Ketamine plus HCM
A
gonna break your heart…LOL
15
Q
Dexmedetomidine + HCM
A
Let me give your heart a break!
