12 to 18 hours
for GA how long should food be withheld in camelids less than 4 months
none
for GA how long should water be withheld in camelids greater than 4 months
no water withheld
for GA how long should water be withheld in camelids less than 4 months
no water withheld - add dextrose
struggling with a patient during preanesthetic increases _________ _______ and risk for __________
body temperature
hypoglycemia
two complications with GA for camelids
excessive salivation
nasal edema (most common)
what can be done if nasal edema happens in GA
can open mouth to breath but it is stressful
5 types of preanesthetics drugs
Alpha 2 agonist (xylazine)
Benzodiazapine (Diazapam) AKA - Valium
Opioid (Analgesia-sedation)
Muscle relaxant (Guafenesin)
Anticholinergic (Atropine)
what preanesthetic drug should be reversed as soon as you are able
alpha 2 agonist (xylazine)
preanesthetic drug that reduces anxiety and sedate
alpha 2 agonist (xylazine)
what preanesthetic drug is used for calming
Benzodiazapine (Diazapam) AKA - Valium
what preanesthetic drug is used for analgesia and sedation
opiod
what preanesthetic drug is a muscle relaxant
Guafenesin
what can concentrations greater of 10% Guafenesin cause - what concentration should be used
hemolysis
5%
what combination of drugs is used for induction in camelids
ketamine and diazepam
when intubating camelids, what position should the head be in and why
down - to drain saliva
how do you intubate small camelids
direct visual (like dogs)
how do you intubate large camelids
manual (like cattle)
during intubation, take care because of regurgitated material near where
larynx
once camelids are induced and are recumbent, place a towel under head to protect what
the eye
most used maintenance drug in camelids
Ketamine IV
double dip maintenance drug combo
ketamine + guafenesin
triple dip maintenance drug combo
ketamine + guafenesin + xylazine
what do you have to watch for when using Triple Dip maintenance
sensitivity
gas can also be used for what in GA
maintenance
maintenance respiration rate for camelids
10-20 bpm adults
15-25 cria
maintenance heart rate for camelids
40-70 bpm
where is the bp cuff placed on camelids
foreleg
when do camelids attempt to stand in GA recovery
when they are fully awake and functional (like a cow)
what do camelids have a risk of in recovery
nasal edema
what position should camelids recover in
sternal recumbency
what does sternal recumbency allow camelids to do in recovery
allows saliva and regurgitation to drain
helps vent gases
when should camelids be extubated
after chewing activity
how is the endotracheal tube extubated in camelids
with the cuff inflated
how is the endotracheal cuff commonly damaged in camelids
fighting teeth are very sharp!
what age is castration done in camelids
2 years
three things that can happen if camelids are castrated before 2 years
** Straight hindlegs
** Lateral patellar luxation
** Degenerative osteoarthritis of the stifle joints
two kinds of castration with camelids
scrotal castration
prescrotal castration
which castration method is done in standing or recumbent position
scrotal castration
what two methods are used in scrotal castration
emasculator or ligated
what castration method is done in lateral recumbent
prescrotal castration
what procedure is used for prescrotal castration
ligate and then close incision
two options for C section in camelids
Ventral midline laparotomy
paralumbar fossa
which C section is done in right lateral recumbency, like sheep
paralumbar approach
C section in camelids that use GA or sedation/local
paralumbar approach
C section in camelids that uses GA
ventral approach
which C section is done in dorsal recumbency (like a dog)
ventral approach
