Exam 2 Flashcards
(241 cards)

3000 mL/min
*VE = Minute Ventilation
Airway Pressure at End Expiration is maintaned above Ambient Pressure. _____ is Applied when Positive Pressure is maintained between Inspirations that are Delivered by a Ventilator
Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP)
*Maintains some pressure in the airways, where the Pressure Guage does not return to Zero between Inspirations but Instead is maintained at the Chosen PEEP Value_- Holds the Alveoli Open_ to Prevent Atalectasis
Local Anesthetics in the ____ Form Remain at Receptor Sites Longer, while Local Anesthetics in the ____ Form Rapidly Penetrate Membranes
Cationic (Charged)- Remains at Receptor Site Longer
Non Charged- Able to Rapidly Penetrate Membrane
*First you want the Drug in the Non-Charged Form so that it can Penetrate the Nerve Membrane, then Switch to the Cationic Form so that it can Remain at the Receptor Site Longer
*The Non- charged Form Penetrates the Membrane of the Nerve. In order for it to become Active it must convert itself to the Cationic Form. The Cationic Form cannot Penetrate the Membrane and therefore stays at the receptor site longer

Onset is Dependent on the pKa of a Drug. As the pKa moves further Away from Tissue pH (7.4), it has a ____ Onset of Action
Slower
Ex. Procaine with a pKa of 8.9 has a very Slow Onset. Lidocaine with a pKa of 7.7 has a Very Fast Onset (Closer to tissue pH = 7.4)
*All Local Anesthetic pKa’s will be Above Tissue pH of 7.4. As pKa Increases Further from 7.4, you have a slower and slower Onset
*Photo: Most Important- Know the Top Four- On Exam

True/False: Lidocaine and Bupivacaine are the Two most Commonly Used Local Anesthetics. Lidocaine has a Faster Onset than Bupivacaine
True
*The pKa of Lidocaine is Closer to Tissue pH (7.4), than Bupivicaine

Highly Perfused Areas will have ____ Systemic Absorption, while Poorly Perfused Areas will have _____ Systemic Absorption
Faster Systemic Absorption- Highly Perfused
Slower Systemic Absorption- Poorly Perfused
*Duration of Action is also affected by Tissue Blood Flow
_*_Ex. Mucous Membranes and Intercostal Muscles have More Blood Flow to the Area, More Systemic Absorption, Less Likely to have an Effect Locally, and More Likely to have Side Effects
*Highly Perfused Areas have Faster Systemic Absorption, and Therefore Shorter Duration of Action
*Poorly Perfused Areas have a Much Longer Duration of Action

______ Nerve Block Indications Include:
Extraction of Canine
Extraction of Incisor
Extration of Premolar
Removal of Small Nasal Mass
Infraorbital
*Contraindication: Extraction of Molar
Peripheral Nerve Block that Provides Anesthesia to the Elbow and Distally that is Indicated in:
Radius/Ulna Fractures
Toe Amputations
Carpal Arthrodesis
Brachial Plexus Block
*If A Patient Fractured its Humerus, doing a Brachial Plexus Block does NOT Help. Only Desensitizes the Elbow and Distally- KNOW THIS

True/False: When Performing Cranial Epidurals on Sheep and Goats, you tend to hit CSF Fluid commonly and therefore should Decrease your Epidural Dose by HALF
True
*In any Species, if you see CSF Fluid within your Epidermal Needle, Decrease the Dose by 1/2 to prevent the drug from traveling to the Brain
*If you get CSF Fluid and you are dosing for an Epidural Space, make sure to lower your Dose

When Performing a Cranial Epidural, what do you do if you Puncture the Dural Sac?
Reduce the Dose by Half

Disadvantages of Which Cardiovascular Drug:
SEVERE Vasoconstriction- Decrease Tissue Perfusion
Increase Oxygen Consumption
Tachyarrhythmias
Tissue Hypoxia
Epinephrine
Cardiovascular Drug that is an Alpha 1,2 and Beta 1,2 Agonist that is used to Treat Routine Hypotension
Ephedrine
*Ephedrine, Dobutamine, Dopamine and Phenylephrine- Common Drugs that are used to Treat Routine Hypotensive Cases
Two Indications for the Use of Colloids
Shock
Hypoproteinemia
True/False: Be Cautious when Administering Fluids to Patients with Cardiac Disease or Renal Disease, because they cannot deal with a large volume of fluid quickly
True

Cystalloid Fluid Replacement that is a Balanced Electrolyte Solution that Contains Calcium and is a Common Choice for Anesthetized Patients
Lactated Ringers Solution (LRS)
*Lactate as Alkalinizing Agent
*Contains Calcium- Caution if Transfusing Blood because the Calcium will Interfer with the Anticoagulants leading to Blood Clots
Synthetic Colloid that is Pectin based and Metabolized by Amylase that Increases the Plasma Volume by at Least the Volume of Fluid Administered
Hetastarch (Vetstarch)
*Stays in the Intravascular Space a long time- we dont want to Overhydrate the Patients so we only give 2-5mL/kg/h
*When you give Hetastarch, the Patients Amylase will go through the Roof- Know this


B. 1 Drop/2 Seconds

At ____% Blood Loss, the Patients PCV will Be 20%. For Oxygen Carrying Capacity, we Need a Minimum Hemoglobin of _____mg/dL for Appropriate Delivery of Oxygen (DO2) to Tissues (PCV 21%)
20%
Hb 7 mg/dL
* 7mg/dL of Hemoglobin is the MINIMUM where you can still carrying oxygen to tissues. 7mg/dL is Equivalent to a PCV of 21% (7x3). If we have a Patient with acute blood Loss and PCV

Balanced Electrolyte Solution that is made of Water, Electrolytes and an Alkalinizing Agent that Causes No Fluid Shifts between ICF and ECF
Crystalloid
*Redistribution Occurs!!!- How Much Stays in the Intravascular Space after 15 Minutes? 20-30%. For Every 1mL of Blood Loss you are going to give 3-4 mL of Cystalloid

External Chest Compression Theory used for Cats and Dogs
where Arterial Flow is Caused by Direct Compression of the Ventricles
Cardiac Pump Theory
*In smaller patients if you compress their chest in the right place you will actually be able to compress their ventricles and move blood foward
For External Chest Compressions in Medium to Large Dogs you Place 1 Hand on Top of Other Parallel at the ____ Part of the Chest and Apply Even Pressure using Palm of Hand
Widest

When Monitoring the Effectiveness of CPCR, What is the Most Important Indicator of Survivability?
ETCO2
*Capnograph will be the most Effective Tool you can Have
*If you have Greater than 20mmHg at 20 Minutes of CPR, you have a Higher Likelyhood Return of Spontaneous Circulation (Patient is Coming Back to Life)
*If you have Less than 10mmHg at 20 Minutes of CPR Spontaneous Circulation is Unlikely to Occur (Patient Dies)

Drugs that Provide Mild to Moderate Pain Relief that are Anti-Inflammatory, Analgesic, and Antipyretic
NSAIDS
Review of Arachidonic Acid Cascade

NSAIDS Stop the Production of Prostaglandins from Arachidonic Acid (AA)- Most Important
*NSAIDS Block COX (Cyclooxygenases) therefore the Arachidonic Acid cannot turn into Prostaglandin
