Q

What is the most common anesthetic complication

A

Hypotension

29
Q

What is the first thing you should do/ change to fix hypotension

A

Turn down inhalant

30
Q

What is formula for BP

A

Co x SVR

31
Q

What is formula for SV

A

Preload x compliance x contractility/ SVR

32
Q

what is formula for CO

A

SV x HR

33
Q

What are the 5 differential diagnosis for hypotension

A
  1. Decrease SVR
  2. Decrease HR
  3. Decrease Preload
  4. Decrease compliance
  5. Decrease contractility
34
Q

What are some causes of decrease SVR

A
  1. Anesthetics- most common
  2. Acepromazine
  3. Septic shock
  4. Anaphylactic shock
35
Q

How do you assess SVR clinically

A

MM

36
Q

What is tx for decrease SVR

A
  1. Decrease anesthetic (first)
  2. Vasopressor- NE, phenylephrine
37
Q

What is color of MM for vasodilation

A

Bright red

38
Q

What is MM for vasoconstriction or anemia

A

Pale

39
Q

What are some causes of decrease HR under ax

A
  1. Anesthetics
  2. Opioids
  3. B-blockers
  4. Ca2+ channel blocker
  5. Alpha 2 agonist
  6. Cardiac dx (AV block)
40
Q

What is tx for decrease HR under ax

A
  1. Anticholinergics (most effective)
  2. Decrease anesthetic
  3. Reduce opioid infusion
  4. Pacemaker
41
Q

What are some causes of decreased preload

A
  1. Dehydration
  2. Blood loss
  3. Decrease SVR
42
Q

What is tx for decrease preload

A
  1. Decrease anesthetic
  2. Fluid
  3. Vasopressor
43
Q

Why do you not want to replace blood during hemorrhage until bleeding is controlled

A

Fluids will thin blood—> increase velocity—> increase bleeding

44
Q

How can you diagnose a decrease in preload leading to hypotension

A
  1. Fluid challenge- fluid bolus at 5mL/kg
45
Q

T or F: If the fluid bolus is ineffective/ no change you should give more

A

False- not doing anything

46
Q

If a fluid bolus is effective for a few minutes against hypotension what can you give next

A

Colloid

47
Q

What is the standard fluid for patients

A

Isotonic crystalloid (LRS, Norm-R, P-lyte)

48
Q

What is fluid rate for dogs

A

5mL/kg/hr

49
Q

What is fluid rate for cats

A

3mL/kg/hr

50
Q

If you have <10% blood volume loss what fluid type do you give

A

Crystalloid

51
Q

If you have 10-20% blood volume loss what fluid do you give

A

Colloid

52
Q

If you have >20% blood volume loss what fluid do you give

A

Transfusion

Q

Ex: 12yr, mixed breed with BW=37kg, blood volume loss of 900mL what is % blood loss and what fluid type would you give

Total blood volume: 37kg(80mL/kg)= 2960mL

% loss: 900mL/2960mL- 30.4%

> 20% blood loss- transfusion
