CSI Y2 Flashcards
Maintenance agent
Volatile liquid that saturates oxygen to a controlled level
Induction agent
Usually via iv injection, Ultra-short acting for safety, Anaethesia is then usually maintained by saturating oxygen with an appropriate level of an inhalational agent
What are the five components of anaesthetic machines?
- Fresh gas supply (oxygen)
- Flow meter with bypass valve (delivers fresh oxygen without inhalational agent direct to the patient)
- Vaporiser (mixes inhalational agent with oxygen)
- Breathing circuit + pressure relief valve
- Scavenging system (remove exhaled gases)
What are the five components of breathing circuits?
- Adapter to ET tube
- Expiratory valve (Adjustable Pressure-Limiting valve),
- Reservoir bag (IPPV)
- Fresh gas tubing
- Expired gas tubing
What is the function of the soda lime cannister in a rebreathing circuit?
Removes CO2 from expired gas allowing it to be rebreathed
Approximate minute volume.
200 ms/kg/min
Flow rate for non-rebreathing circuits A, D and F.
- mA = 1 x MV (High efficiency)
- mD = 2-2.5 x MV (Medium efficiency)
- mF = 2.5-3 X MV (Low efficiency)

Which type of anaesthetic circuit is seen here?
Rebreathing circuit
Describe the difference between the cardiac pump and thoracic pump theories of chest compressions.
- Cardiac pump - Ventricles directly compressed between sternum and spine (dorsal) or ribs (lateral), blood forced from heart to lungs/ periphery. Relaxation of ventricles returns blood to heart.
- Thoracic pump - Intra-thoracic pressure increased. Compresses aorta & collapses vena cava, leads to blood flow out of thorax. During elastic recoil decreased intra-thoracic pressure causes blood flow from the periphery back to thorax/ lungs
ABC plus brief description.
- Airway
- Patent - ET tube
- Breathing
- Watch & feel
- Circulation
- Pulse
If in any doubt start CPR immediately
How would CPR chest compressions differ between round, narrow and barrel chested dogs and with small dogs/cats?
- Round - Lateral recumbency, thoracic pump over widest part of chest
- Narrow - Lateral recumbency, cardiac pump directly over heart
- Barrel - Dorsal recumbency, cardiac pump directly over heart
- Small/cats - Lateral recumbency, use one hand around level of heart
Describe how chest compressions should be used in CPR.
At a rate of 100-120 per minute (though 150 is best), should be deep (1/3 to 1/2 the width of the thorax), and allow full elastic recoil of the chest (don’t lean on the chest)
How should ventilation breaths be applied during CPR?
- 10 breaths / minute
- 10 ml / kg tidal volume
- Short inspiratory time of 1 second
- Insert ET tube and inflate cuff
- Use pure O2 + breathing circuit with reservoir bag (Can be blown down ET tube)
