Lab final Flashcards
An e-cyclinder contains how many PSI and Liters of Oxygen?
660 L and 2200 PSI
What does a flow meter do?
- A flowmeter controls the rate at which a specific gas is delivered
- Flowmeter tubes are gas specific
- Avoid excessive torque when closing flowmeters, because knobs can be twisted off
- The oxygen flowmeter should always be downstream in the series
What are the functions of the oxygen flush valve?
- Bypasses vaporizer and delivers oxygen directly to the gas outlet
- delivers oxygen to the circle at 35-75 L/min
- Dilutes the anesthetic gases in the system
Describe out of circuit vaporizers
- these vaporizers deliver a precise anesthetic concentration of anesthetic vapor
- gas within the vaporizer is split betwen the bypass and vaporization chamber
- VOC are agent specific
- output is NOT dependent on teh temperature and flow through the vaporizer
A pressure reduction valve reduces cylinder pressure to a fixed
50 PSI
Should you use the quick flush valve on a non-rebreathing system?
NEVER
A charcoal canister filters what?
Iso/sevo
But NOT Nitrous oxide or carbon dioxide
What is true about a rebreathing system?
- contains soda lime
- more resisitance and more componentss
- less gas waste and atmosphere pollution
- used in pts over 10kg
- flow rate is 20-50
What is a cause of this?

Rebreathing- doesn’t return to baseline
expired sodasorb
faculty expiratory valve
inadequate ins/exp flow
What is the gold standard for measuring blood pressure?
Direct Arterial blood pressure
What are the clinical uses for ECG?
- Determine heart rate and rhythm
- record electrical activity of the heart
- determine cardiac oxygenation status
- determine electroylyte abnormalities
NOT TO DETERMINE FUNCTION
Hypotension in SA is defined as a SAP <____
and a MAP<______
SAP< 80; MAP<60
What is the gold standard for measuring oxygenation and ventilation in an anesthesized patient/
Arterial blood gas
What indicate a light plane of anesthesia?
brisk palpebral reflex
nystagumus
lacrimation
What SpO2 reading correlates with PaO2 of 60?
90%
What is the esphageal stehoscope used for?
Heart rate and respiratory rate
What is the normal heart rate for a dog?
70-100
What is the normal heart rate for a sheep?
60-90
How often do you record vitals?
every 5 min
What are the benefits of giving pre-anesthetic meds?
- decreases the amount of inhalant
- sedation to faciliate IV catheter
- pre-emptive analgesia
- decrease amount of induction agent needed
- anxiolysis
What is the most common drug types used in preanesthetic meds?
sedative +opoid
What are the SE of ace?
- anxiolysis
- anti-emetic
- inhibits platelet aggregation
- hypotension
MOA of butorphanol
mu anatgoinist, kappa agoinst
what is the most common route for induction agents?
IV
What are the negative effects of propofol?
Cardio and respiratory depression
After induction agent has been administered, which signs of anesthetic depth should be assessed before attempting to open a canine pt’s mouth for intubation?
Absent lateral palpebral reflex
What are the negative consequences of an ET tube that is too small?
- airway secretions may obstruct the tube
- increased work of breathing via increase resisteance
- over-inflated cuff causes trauma to the tracheal muscosa
- it is possible that the system will have a leak and IPPV can NOT be administered if needed
What methods are used to confirm ET tube placement?
- visualization
- palpation
- capnography
BP on a sheep using doppler ultrasound and sphygmomanometer are performed on which artery?
median
Would you administer atropine to a sheep pre-induction to decrease the amount of saliva that produce?
NEVER
What is the oxygen flow rate for a sheep?
30-50 for maintenance
What are complications associated with IPPV?
- barotrauma from an APL valve left closed
- decreased venous return
- can deepen the anesthetic plane
What predisposed a sheep to bloat post induction
- Not fasting enough
- esophageal intubation
- atropine administration
If the bp was 70 what would you do?
check the percent vapor of inhalant and calculate a fluid bolus
normal bp in a sheep
systolic 90-120
diastolic- 60-80
What meds can sheep not get
xyalzine, atropine dexmedetomidine
