Q

Precautions for Propofol/ Propofol- 28

A

Respiratory depression → apnea
Myclonus (too slow without premedication)- seizure like
↓ contractility and SVR → hypotension
Prolonged recovery in cats → liver dz

16
Q

Alfaxalone

A

Neuro-active steroid anesthetic
Class 4 controlled
Multidose dogs and cats, IDX minor species

17
Q

Effects of Alfaxalone

A

Smooth, rapid induction and m. relaxation
IV induction and maintenance

18
Q

Alfaxalone precautions

A

Emergence delirium on recovery when used alone
No analgesia

19
Q

Opioid induction

A

Benzodiazepine + short acting opioid
Used for Hemodynamically unstable and critically ill patients (ASA 4 or 5)

20
Q

Opioid induction precautions

A

Slower induction
Intubation and O2 support mandatory
Hypersensitive to noise, light and stimulation

21
Q

Maintenance phase

A

Inhalants
Injectable agents IM or IV
Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA)

22
Q

Inhalans

A

Isoflurane (cheapest)
Sevoflurane
Halothane
Desflurane
all will cause dose dependent CV and resp. depression

23
Q

Inhalant physical properties

A

Vapor pressure
Solubility
Minimum alveolar concentration (MAC)

24
Q

Vapor pressure

A

Ability to evaporate
↑ pressure = easy to evaporate

25
Q

Solubility

A

Inhalant vapor dissolved within a solvent
Sevo by itself = quicker induction and recovery than iso

26
Q

Inhalants move along __________ not concentration gradients

A

Partial pressure gradients

27
Q

Partial pressure gradients

A

Inspired air → alveolar air → blood → brain
Soluble= slow, insoluble= fast

28
Q

Minimum alveolar concentration (MAC)

A

% inhalant that prevents purposeful movement in 50% of patients exposed to a noxious stimulus
lower MAC, more potent the inhalant

29
Q

Sevo is _______ potent than iso, so it requires _______ vaporizer setting to maintain

A

Less
Higher

30
Q

Maintenance with induction agents

A

Ketamine
Tiletamine/zolazapm
Alfaxalone

31
Q

Maintenance with induction agents risk

A

↑ risk to hypoventilation, airwat obstruction and hypoxemia
No assist in ventilation
Depth difficult to control
Resp. arrest

32
Q

TIVA

A

Propofol or alfaxalone CRI + opioid CRI

33
Q

TIVA uses

A

Craniotomies with ↑ ICP
Critically ill patients → hypotension with inhalants
Patients long term ventilation in ICU
Patients with uncoltrolled seizure acitvity
Sx procedures or bronchoscopy of upper airway

34
Q

Precaution with TIVA

A

Intubation and 100% O2 support is mandatory
Hypoventilation → controlled ventilation
