Q

How do CO2 guns work?

A
  • Fire by adding correct CO2 pressure for the distance and weight of dart
  • Pressure too high = dart will bounce out, incomplete drug delivery, inc risk fo trauma
    Pressure too low = dart will drop before target, inaccurate/incomplete dleivery of drug

  • Legislation for drug prescription
17
Q

Darting & Animal safety?

A
  • Be aware of other animals
  • Consider pressure
  • Avoid in smaller or delicate animals
    -Operate skill - practice!
18
Q

What can go wrong with darting?

A
  • Misses
  • Unsure fi drug delivered
  • Drug not delivered?
  • Trauma to animal
  • Lost darts
18
Q

What aim when darting?

A
  • Large area fo muscle mass
  • Caudal (quads/ glutes)
  • In rhino NECK
    -In elephant Upper forelimb
  • Perpendicular to tissue
19
Q

What PREP for field anaesthesia?

A
  • Starved if poss/appropriate?
  • BW
  • Separation of group?
  • Stress levels
  • Location for induction
  • Risk assessment
20
Q

DO we PRemed?

A

Sometimes?
- Oral/transmucosal -> ACP, zoletil, alpha 2
- Oral -> midazolam/diazepam
- IM - azaperone, butorphanol, midazolam

->Additional darting & food intake before GA

21
Q

What alpha 2 might we use for Induction?

A
  • Medetomidine, detomidine, xylazine
  • Reduced HR/ RR , inc regurg in ruminants
22
Q

What Dissociative anaesthetics can be used for induction?

A
  • Ketamine, tiletamine (in zoletil)
  • Excitation, inc HR/BP, apnoea, lowered seizure threshold, corneal drying
23
Q

What opioid options for induction?

A
  • Potent: etorphine, carfentanil etc
  • Butorphanol
  • Inc HR/ BP, resp dep, poor muscle relaxation
24
Q

Give some induction combinations that can be used?

A
  • Medetomidine + ketamine (+/- butorphanol)
  • Zoletil - (zolazepam + tiletamine)
  • BAM (butorphanol + azaperone, medetomidine) good for deer
  • Etorphine +/- alpha2/ACP
25
Q

Etorphine risk ?

A

Sched 2 drug - more rq for record keeping, disposal, locked cabinet secured to wall

  • Rapid onset severe cardiopulm depression
  • Use PPE
  • Dart removal be careful
  • Have naloxone on site

don’t use in blowpipes & not in public areas

26
Q

Induction - describe?

A
  • Quiet dark area?
  • Approach from distance, cover eyes , ears
  • Make sure airway position clear
27
Q

Human safety during procedure?

A
  • Desired depth of anaesthetic
  • Ability to give more drug as needed
  • Escape routes/ space
  • Hobbles
  • Horn protectors
28
Q

What maintenance drugs we can use?

A
  • Incremental iv drugs (ket, propofol)
  • incremental i.m drugs (usually same as induction)
    Inhalation agents
    O2
29
Q

Monitoring in field?

A
  • ABCs!
  • Blood glucose in SMALL animals
  • Pulse ox
  • Capnography?
30
Q

Considerations for wild animals?

A
  • Thermoregulation
  • Bloat
  • Regurg
  • Trauma during induction / recovery
  • Trauma from darting
  • Capture myopathy
  • Muscle necrosis
  • Novel drug reactions
  • Dive reflex
  • Sudden arousal
  • Effects of stress
31
Q

Recovery ?

A
  • Dark quiet area?
  • Clear personnel
  • Positioning
  • Removal of earplugs, eye covering
  • Give reversal agent
  • Extubate
  • close monitoring until standing
