Q

What is sinus bradycardia treated with?

A

17
Q

What is sinus tachycardia treated with?

A

Lidocaine

18
Q

What drug is being described? An alpha adrenergic agonist used to ‘restart the heart’ in patients with asystole or PEA

A

Adrenaline

19
Q

What drug is being described? A vagolytic drug used to increase the heart rate once it has restarted or to reverse a vasavagal event

A

Atropine

20
Q

What drug is being described? Drug used to treat fast ventricular tachycardias before they degenerate to fibrillation?

A

Lidocaine

21
Q

How should you give drugs via an ET tube?

A

Insert via urinary catheter in ET tube. Double the dose and follow by hypotonic solution to aid absorption. Then give a big breath via the ambu bag

22
Q

When might you want to use calcium gluconate?

A

severe hypocalcaemia or hyperkalaemia (to bind the potassium)

23
Q

Why might you want to give sodium bicarbonate to an arresting animal?

A

many arresting animals are acidotic. acidosis will recur if underlying cause not treated, but CPR unlikely to be effective if pH under 7.2

24
Q

What is used to aid contact with the skin when defibrillating?

A

coupling gel NOT SPIRIT

25

100J

26
Q

What voltage is generally used for dogs?

A

200J

27
Q

What voltage is generally used for open chest?

A

50J

28

Vomiting

Defecation and Urination

Respiratory disease

Ocular or neck surgery
