Q

How do you apply Local Anesthetic on Aryteniods in cats (2 ways)

A
  1. Swab with Q-tip soaked in Lidocaine x 2

Q

Describe the technique how intubation is done in cats

A
  1. Blade of laryngoscope on tongue, press down
    • Epiglottis flattens out
  2. DO NOT touch epiglottis
  3. Direct tube to ventral aspect of glottis
  4. Rotate bevel of tube if arytenoids are closed
  5. Stylet
    • 5 or 8F polypropylene urinary catheter

Q

What are causes of Tracheal Rupture regarding anesthesia

A
  1. Likely causes:
    • Over-inflation of ET tube ***
    • Use of stylet
    • Change of positioning without D/C from Y piece
  2. Anesthetic machine ‘pop-off’ accidents
    • Pressure alarms
    • ‘pop-off’ buttons

Q

You have an aggressive cat, what are your sedation options

A
  1. Kitty magic:
    • Dexmedetomidine
    • Ketamine
      • Not with cardiac disease, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)
    • +/- Opioid
      • Butorphanol
  2. Inhalant Chamber induction last resort

Q

What are the downfalls of Inhalant Chamber induction last resort (Boxing) for aggressive cats

A
  1. High doses needed
  2. Unable to monitor
  3. Waste gas pollution
  4. VERY stressful, increase SNS stimulation
  5. Thorough PE not possible
    • Increased risk?
    • 25% non-symptomatic cats have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Use as last resort

16
Q
  1. Does •Propofol cause respiratory and cardiovascular depression directly related to dose and rate or is always the same?
  2. How do you administer it for intubation
A
  1. Respiratory/CV depression directly related to dose & rate of administration
  2. Give 1.0mg/kg slowly over 15 seconds,
    • then to effect for intubation
17
Q
  1. What is the DOA for propofol
  2. analgesic properties?
  3. How is it metoblized?
A
  1. Short DOA,
  2. no analgesic properties,
  3. extra-hepatic metabolism,
18
Q

Propofol has neurotoxic or neuroprotective effects?

A

neuroprotective

19
Q

If you want to use propofol as a CRI, what drugs must you give first?

A

–Lidocaine/Ketamine loading doses needed for CRI

20
Q
  1. How is the recovery for Propofol
  2. Can you use it for sedation?
  3. Is it controlled?
  4. Is it expensive?
A
  1. Smooth recoveries, no ‘hang over’,
  2. good for short procedures
  3. Not controlled
  4. Cheap
    • ~ $20/20mL bottle (~$1/mL)
    • Propofol 28 slightly more expensive
21
Q
  1. Ketamine/Midazolam as induction causes analgesia?
  2. What are the cardiovascular effects?
  3. How do you administer it?
A
  1. Analgesia,
  2. hemodynamic stability (↑heart rate, BP)
  3. Give 1/3 to ½ as bolus, then to effect
22
Q
  1. When you use Ketamine/Midazolam as an induction what drug must you give first?
  2. Are they controlled?
  3. Do the effects last into recovery?
A
  1. Use with Lidocaine loading dose
  2. Both controlled
  3. Effects may last into recovery
23
Q
  1. Alfaxalone is what kind of drug
  2. Does it cause –Dose & rate dependent respiratory depression
  3. Analgesia?
A
  1. neurosteriod anesthetic
  2. Dose & rate dependent respiratory depression
  3. No analgesia
24
Q
  1. Alfaxalone causes good or bad recovery?
  2. Is it controlled?
  3. Cheap or expensive
A
  1. ↓ recovery quality with high doses and minimal premedication
  2. Controlled, schedule IV
  3. Expensive!
    • ~$54/10mL (client cost at ISU) = $5.40/mL
25
Q
  1. What type of patients do you use Opioid + Benzodiazepine for induction?
  2. What is a good option for these patients?
A
  1. Induction protocol for critically ill patients
    • GDV, septic/hemo abdomen, severe heart disease
  2. Fentanyl and Midazolam => intubate
26
Q
  1. Isoflurane mac in dogs
  2. cats
A
  1. MAC in dogs 1.3%,
  2. 1.6% cats
27
Q
  1. Sevoflurane mac in dogs
  2. What are its disadvantages
A
  1. 2.3
  2. Disadvantage:
    • expense ~$150/250mL bottle,
    • toxic metabolites => no low O2 flow
28
Q
  1. Nitrous oxide mac in dogs
  2. Benefit to using it
  3. provides analgesia?
  4. What do you do with waste gas?
A
  1. MAC in dogs ~200%
  2. Benefits
    • ↓ MAC Sevoflurane by 25% with 50% NO, 50% O2
    • inexpensive
  3. provides adjunct analgesia
  4. **must scavenge waste gas
29
Q

What are the Intra-op & Post-op Constant Rate Infusions options

A
  1. •MLK - Morphine, Lidocaine, Ketamine
  2. •HLK- Hydromorphone, Lidocaine, Ketamine
  3. •FLK – Fentanyl, Lidocaine, Ketamine
  4. •Fentanyl
  5. •Fentanyl + Ketamine
  6. •Dexmedetomidine*
  7. •Dexmedetomidine + MLK*
