Exam 1: Quiz Flashcards
What minimum-size reservoir bag would you select for a 35 kg dog?
2L
35kg x 50 = 1750 ml
50 = 10 ml/kg tidal volume minimum x5 breaths
What could explain this capnography waveform in an anesthetized patient?
- hyperventilation
- hypoventilation
- normal ventilation
hypoventilation
When performing the cuff inflation technique on an endotracheal tube after it has been correctly placed in the patients trachea and positioned at the correct anatomic location, air should be filled into the pilot ballon until there is no escape of gases around the cuff when the pop off valve is occluded and the resivor bag is squeezed to _____x_____ cmH2O
20 cmH20
When performing the cuff inflation technique on an endotracheal tube after it has been correctly placed in the patients trachea and positioned at the correct anatomic location, air should be filled into the pilot ballon. Air should escape around the cuff when the pop off valve is occluded and the resivor bag is squeezed to _____x_____ cmH2O
22 cmH20
What oxygen flow rate should you set a 22 kg dog on a rebreathing system right after the induction (i.e/ the beginning) of anesthesia?
1 L/min
2 L/min
3 L/min
4 L/min
1 L/min
22 kg x 22 ml/kg/min (round this up to 0.5L/min for vaporization)
at induction and recovery, you should double to maintenance O2 flow rate
0.5 L/min x 2 = 1 L/min
How many drops per second should the 60 drops/mL fluid administration set be adjusted to in order to deliver 3 ml/kg/jr IV fluid rate to a 6 kg cat?
1 drop / 20 sec
1 drop / 3 sec
18 drops / sec
1 drop / 10 sec
1 drop / 3 sec
6 kg x 3 ml/kg/hr = 18 ml/hr
18 ml/hr / 60 min/hr / 60 sec/min x 60 drops/ml = 0.3 drops / sec = apprx 1 drop every 3 seconds
using the image below, how many liters of oxygen are left in the E tank?
- what is the current reading in PSI?
A full tank has a 660 L and is 2200 PSI
1250 psi is current reading
1250 psi x 660 L = 825000
825000 / 2200 =375 L
Select all that apply. Which two mechanisms of heat loss are responsible for most of the heat lost in patients during anesthesia?
- Radiation
- Convection
- Conduction
- Evaporation
Convection
Radiation
Select all that apply. What are the requirements for an accurate anesthesia monitoring record to properly document an anesthestic durg that was administered during the anesthesia period?
- Generic drug name
- Route
- Drug brand or trade name
- mg
- Initials of the person that administered the drug
- mL
- possible side effects
- Time given
- Generic drug name
- route
- mg
- ml
- time given
How many mL and mg would be given to a 18 lb dog that needs a fentanyl dosage rate of 5 micrograms / kg ? The concentration of fentanyl is 50 micrograms/mL?
0.82 mL
0.041 mg
18 lbs / 2.2 =8.18 kg
8.18 x 5 mcg/kg = 0.041 mg
What ASA physical status would you give a 1-year-old female intact begal mix canine that presents for an elective ovariohysterectomy? She is apparently healthy on physical exam and has no blood work abnormalities. Her BCS is a 4/9. She is not currently pregnant or in heat.
ASA PS 1
- This is a normal, healthy patient who presents for an elective procedure. Her BCS is normal, which also makes this category the correct choice since obesity would elevate her to an ASA PS 2
What ASA physical status would you give a 1-year-old female intact begal mix canine that presents for an elective ovariohysterectomy? She is apparently healthy on physical exam and has no blood work abnormalities. Her BCS is a 8/9. She is not currently pregnant or in heat.
ASA PS II
