Final Lab Exam Flashcards
doppler
- systolic blood pressure monitor
- monitors anesthetized patient
doppler application
- choose location of blood flow
- shave
- lube
- tape on
- apply appropriate cuff size
- inflate cuff
- use sphygmomanometer
- read dial at point heart beat is audible again
pulse oximeter
- grey clip with red light attached to tongue or armpit
- measures SpO2, oxygen saturation of hemoglobin in arterial blood
IV catheter in dog
- prepare/ set up
- heparin flush t-port
- shave
- chlorhexidine and alcohol scrub
- have someone hold off vein
- advance catheter once blood goes into stylet
- replace stylet with the t set
- draw back to see more blood
- flush heparin through (no bubble)
- lightly tape catheter in place
- final flush and close off
- male adaptor plug
IV catheter in horse
- shave
- chlorhexidine and alcohol scrub (3X)
- 2% lidocaine to numb injection site
- heparin flush 14/16 2 inch IV catheter & connecting tube
- hold off jugular vein
- insert IV catheter into lidocaine bulge
- remove stylet after blood is seen in catheter
- apply glue to hold in place
- flush catheter
equine castration: drugs given to horse before catheter placement?
- low dose Xylazine (IV sedative) to calm them
- low dose Butorphanol IV (pain relief, with some pain relief for actual tissue relief)
equine castration: drugs given after catheter in placed IV?
- larger dose of Xylazine is given through IV catheter
- sedate until the colt’s head is at knee level
- Ketamine is then administered IV as anesthesia induction agent
equine castration: drugs used to maintain anesthesia?
- Ketamine (then flush) for anesthesia that drops them to the ground
- Xylazine (then flush) for sedative short term and pain relief and relaxant
post-op medications given to horse
- Butorphanol (for pain relief)
- Banamine (anti-inflammatory, reduces fever)
- Tetanus vaccine to protect from possible infection bc surgery left horse with open wound/ higher risk
why does a horse urinate directly after surgery?
- side effect of Xylazine
- caused by increase in sodium levels so it pulls out water with it
what is Brucellosis/ Bang’s disease?
- a contagious and infectious disease
- zoonotic so effects humans too
- causes production problems and money loss if herd gets infected
USDA goal for the Brucellosis Eradication Program
- nationwide eradication of Brucellosis from domestic cattle and Bison
- without the BEP the cost of producing beef and milk would increase by $80 million annually
how to prevent Brucellosis
- vaccinate all heifers when they are 4 months to one year old
- reconstitue RB-51 vaccine
- use 50 mL repeater syringe to administer 2 mL sub Q on left neck
- protects 70-80% of vaccinated
after administering RB-51 vaccine
- alcohol wipe ear
- smear green tattoo ink on right ear
- tightly clamp tattoo pliers over the green ink
- rub ink into dots
- attach USDA orange metal ear tag with ear tag pliers
- steps show that heifer has already been vaccinated
lavender top tube
- contains EDTA (anticoagulant)
- used for hematology / hemoglobin
ex. blood tests and blood smears
serum separator tube / “tiger top tube”
- contains clot activator
- used for chemistries
red top tube
- no anticoagulant (so will clot on its own)
- used for sterile chemistries
- ex. steril urinalysis
plain tissue forceps
- tweezer like
- small pokes/ grabbers at tips
brown adson thumb forceps
- tweezer like
- longer alligator teeth grabbers at tips
mayo-hegar needle holders
- long needle holders that look like scissors
- non cutting
olsen-hegar needle holders
- long needle holders that look like scissors
- have scissors for cutting also
types of scissors
- mayo: flat and thick tips
- curved mayo: curved and thick tips
- sharp-sharp: pointed tips , long and skinny
absorbable suture material
- break down over time
- used for temporary support
- hydrolysis (chem breakdown of water) in synthetic suture
- phagocytosis in natural suture
- ex. small fast healing tissue,
non absorbable suture material
- for leaving in body permanently or removal after certain amount of time
- high tension over time
- removed after 10 -14 days to close skin
natural suture materials
- made from plant or animal materials
- can cause inflammation
synthetic suture materials
- cause less tissue reaction
- more uniform/ predictable suture strength and absorption rate
