Q

Why do you need to treat sinus bradycardia in very young animals

A

They have a fixed SV (CO=SV xHR) so if decrease HR, decrease CO which will then decrease BP (BP=CO xSVR)

Q

Why do you not want to use alpha 2 agonists with anticholinergics within 1hr of each other

A

Alpha 2 agonists will vasoconstrict and anticholinergics will increase HR—> increase resistance and workload on heart and can lead to cardiac arrest

A

Sinus tachycardia

What are some causes of compensatory response sinus tachycardia

A

Hypovolemia, hypotension

48
Q

What is the relationship of HR and BP in compensatory response sinus tachycardia

Q

What is tx for high sympathetic tone sinus tachycardia

50
Q

What is tx for compensatory response sinus tachycardia

A

80
Q
