Define: Hypoventilation
PaC02
PaCO2 > 40 mmHg
Definition of hypoxemia
PaO2:
Corresponds to SPO2:
PaO2
What is cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP)?
CPP = MAP - ICP
What is Cushing reflex
Aka vasopressor response
Severe inc. ICP –> Poor cerebral perfusion
–> systemic sympathetic response: VC, inc. C.O. -> Hypertension
Carotid baroreceptors sense hypertension –> reflex bradycardia
Increased ICP –> dysfunction of respiratory center –> irregular breathing pattern
What is the anatomical diff. In avian trachea that one needs to be considerate during intubation?
Complete cartilaginous ring of trachea –> uncuffed (known as “Cole”) or minimally inflate cuff when req. inflation
Are NSAIDs recommended for Pregnancy?
Not recommended in general
Flunixin did not increase abortion rate in preg mares with colic
Acetaminophen - ok during pre go & lactating (Humans) - may be used in dogs (NOT CATS)
Which anticholinergic(s) is(are) recommended during pregnancy?
Glycopyrrolate in premeds b/c of its minimal fetal effect
Or use as needed for intra-OP bradycardia
What is included in the minimum blood work to be done for non-emergency C-sec?
PCV/TP, glucose, iCa, electrolytes
What is considered neonate in dogs/cats vs. foals?
Dogs/cats -
What is the definition of Pediatrics?
Up to 12 wks
Older than 12 wks - organ developed
Why anticholinergics are good choice as premed in neonates /pediatrics?
Because neonates/pediatrics are dependent on HR for C.O.
Intra-OP to tx: bradycardia
Are NSAIDS recommended for neonates/pediatrics? Why or why not?
No. Because of their immature hepatic & renal fxn
What is included in the minimum blood work to be done for non-emergency C-sec?
PCV/TP, glucose, iCa, electrolytes
What is considered neonate in dogs/cats vs. foals?
Dogs/cats -
