87
Q

snubbing (canine)

A

animal on leash attached to cage door or eye loop anchor in wall- forces the head to stay, so you are able to ouch the hid end without being bitten

104
Q

How to pill

A

grasp maxilla (upper jaw) with less dominant hand with index finger and thumb, tilt head back (nose to ceiling) and lower jaw will drop open. use your middle finger on your dominant hand to open the jaw further and with your index finger and thumb holding the pill place it at the back of the throat and PUSH. Always examine the mouth after to ensure swallowing of the pill

105
Q

How to administer liquids orally

A

tilt head slightly but NEVER totally upwards (should aspirate), place syringe just behind canine tooth and administer slowly while patient swallows

106
Q

how to administer paste

A

less dominant hand on maxilla and product on index finger on dominant hand place on tongue or roof of mouth so animal will lick it down

107
Q

tilt head back so nose is elected and place drops into nostrils slowly

108
Q

How to administer liquid eye drops

109
Q

How to apply eye ointments

A

elevate the head and place 1/8-1/4 inch strip of ointment medial to lateral onto the cornea or lower boarder of eyelid (never touch the tube to eye)

110
Q

one handed needle recapping

A
  1. place cap on a flat surface
  2. using one hand hold syringe with tips of fingers, needle pointed away from body
  3. place finger tips on table so needle and syringe are parallel to cap
  4. insert needle into cap
111
Q

Subcutaneous- SQ (administering)

A

1.tent skin on the back- can use six quadrants, 2.hold syringe in dominant hand with index finger, middle finger and thumb on the barrel and your pinky or ring finger controlling the plunger, 3.bevel up on needle, 4.apply alcohol, 5.place needle into the tented skin, 6. always out back for negative pressure.

112
Q

Negative pressure

A

if air appears then disappears when the plunger is released.

if you draw back and the air stays or there is blood then use a different site

113
Q

Intramuscular- IM (administrating)

A

Do not inject more than 2.0ml-5.0 ml per site (amount depends on animal size)
Epaxial Muscle-1. injection site should be cranial to he pelvis and lateral to th vertebrae 2. keep your index finger over the vertebrae to ensure proper placement of the needle 3. apply alcohol 4. hold syringe so that your pinky or ring finger controls the plunger 5. hold the syringe completely stright up and down 6. Always draw back for negative pressure
Semimembranosus- 1.locate the injection site by locating the femur and the knee, gently squeezing the muscle to ‘bulge out’ the muscle 2. the sciatic nerve runs along the firmer so to avoid it your needle should always be slightly caudally 3. apply alcohol 4. place needle, pull back for negative pressure

114
Q

quickest way for drugs to reach systemic circulation

A
  1. IV
  2. IM
  3. SQ
115
Q

Why is Bolus SQ used

A

often used in small dogs and cats suffering from mild to moderate dehydration

116
Q

information on Bolus SQ administration

A

use only sterile, isotonic solutions, choose from six sites, change needle between each site, a maximum of 50.0-100.0ml may be administered into each site, this can be painful to the animal and IV catheterization may be preferred, a 20 or 18 gauge needle is used

117
Q

Three different methods that can be used to administer Bolus SQ

A
  1. a needle with a large syringe filled with fluid
  2. a butterfly attached to a large syringe with fluid
  3. a needle attached to an IV bag and line so fluids are administered by gravity
118
Q

Common sites for IV administration

A

cephalic, saphenous, fermoral, and jugular

119
Q

Steps to obtain blood

A
  1. shave area if required
  2. apply alcohol (alcohol will vasodiolate (widening) the vessel)
  3. use the appropriate size needle and syringe for the task
  4. Jugular vein- you will have to hold the vessel yourself, for the other vessels your partner will hold the vessel off
  5. insert the needle on a 45 degree angle with bevel up
  6. pull back on plunger, if there is blood continue to draw, if no blood appears try redirecting needle
  7. hold off the vessel the entire time
  8. when sample requirement is reached have your restrainer place a digit over the puncture site and place light pressure on site as you remove the needle form the site
  9. cap your needle, remove the needle form syringe
  10. take top off vacutainer and gently depress the plunger until proper amount of blood is in the vautainer (you will have to act quickly to prevent clotting)
120
Q

Steps to inject into a vein

A
  1. have your restrainer hold off the vein
  2. apply alcohol
  3. place needle in the vessel bevel up
  4. pull plunger back- if you see blood have your restrainer release the vessel and inject, if no blood then redirect to find vessel
