Chapter 5 Flashcards
Blood has analysis
Measurement of the pH, bicarbonate, and partial pressure of oxygen and carbon dioxide in blood
Apnea monitor
Alerts the anesthetist when the patient hasn’t taken a breath
Calculated oxygen content
Total oxygen volume in the blood
Cardiac arrhythmias
Any pattern of cardiac electrical activity that differs from a healthy animal
Central venous pressure
The blood pressure in a large central vein
Doppler blood flow
A monitoring device that uses ultrasound frequency to convert the motion of red blood cells into a whooshing sound
Flaccid
Lacking muscle tone
What vital signs should you monitor?
Heart rate, heart rhythm, respiratory rate, mucous membrane, CRT, pulse strength, blood pressure, and temperature
What are some indicators of anesthetic depth
eye position, pupil size,muscle tone, nystagmus, salivary, lacrminal secretions, and responce to surgical stimuli
What are 3 major things you should focus on during anesthesia?
Hypotension, hypoxemia, and severe hypercapnia
What is stage 1 anesthesia?
Period of voluntary movement, pre medication stage
What is stage 2 anesthesia?
Period of involuntary movement
What is stage 3 anesthesia
Period of surgical anesthesia
What is stage 4 anesthesia?
Stage of anesthetic overdose
Stage 3, plane 1
Inadequate to perform surgery
Stage 3, plane 2
Suitable for most procedures
Stage 3, plane 3
Excessively deep
Stage 3, plane 4
Anesthetic overdose
What are the commonly encountered rhythms for anesthetized patients?
Normal sinus rhythm, sinus arrhythmia, sinus bradycardia, sinus tachycardia, and AV heart block
What are supraventricular premature complexes?
One or more QRS complexes that appear close together
What are the causes of ventricular premature complexes?
Heart disease, drugs, hypoxia, acid-base disorders, electrolyte disorders, and epinephrine release
What is PEA
Euthenasia electrical activity
Define blood pressure
Force exerted by flowing blood on the arterial walls
What can blood pressure be altered by?
Drugs, diseases, surgical stimulation, and hydration status
