CNS, Renal, And Hepatic Disease Flashcards
What are common Renal elective procedures?
Dental
Mass Removal
What are common Renal Non-elective procedures?
Urethral stones
renal transplant
renal tumor
What are common Renal Emergency procedures?
Feline urethral obstruction
Ruptured Bladder
What are the three main functions of the kidneys?
Filtration
Reabsorption
Secretion
How much cardiac output do the kidneys receive?
25%
What does reabsorption depend on?
Aldosterone ADH Renin-angiotensin atrial natriuretic factor prostaglandins catecholamines
What are kidneys sensitive to?
Ischemia
Hypoxia
What is the constant mean arterial pressure of the Renal blood flow?
80-180mmHg
What drugs should you avoid for the renal disease?
Anesthetics causing hypotension or requiring renal excretion
NSAIDs
What Pre-op management should happen with Renal Compromise?
Fluid diuresis
Attention to electrolyte status (including Ca and Mg) with supplementation as necessary
What Intra-op management should happen with Renal Compromise?
IV Fluids
MAP should be maintained about 70-80mmHg
What is the fluid rate for renal compromised patients?
10mg/kg/hr
What should you do first with a patient with Feline Urethral Obstruction?
Stabilize: Hyperkalemia and Hypovolemia
How do you treat Hyperkalemia in a cat with Urethral Obstruction?
Calcium gluconate
Regular Insulin + dextrose
How do you treat Hypovolemia in a cat with Urethral Obstruction?
Buffered isotonic IV fluids
What drugs do you use in Feline Urethral obstruction?
Cardiovascular-sparing drugs: Opioids and Benzos
What drugs do you avoid in Feline Urethral obstruction?
Ketamine
What is the MAP that must be maintained for normal cerebral blood flow?
50-150mmHg
What is the equation for Cerebral perfusion pressure?
MAP - ICP
Cushing Reflex
Severe Increase ICP leading to poor cerebral perfusion
Leads to sympathetic response: vasoconstriction, increased cardiac output leading to hypertension
Carotid baroreceptors sense hypertension and cause reflex bradycardia
Increased ICP causes dysfunction of respiratory center causing irregular breathing pattern
What are the preferred drugs for patients with CNS disease?
Do not increase ICP
cause seizures or lower seizure threshold
Decrease Cerebral blood flow
