2. You should be “bagging the patient” every 5-10 minutes
3. If the SpO2 is over 95% your patient’s blood is well oxygenated.
4. You should be monitoring and recording every 5-10 minutes under anesthesia

A

Q

Name two of our senses that we use to monitor patients under anesthesia. Give one example of what you are monitoring. For example (you cannot use this as an answer):

Sense of smell: detecting a gas leak.

A
  1. Sight: is the CRT within normal limits? MM coloring okay & moist?
  2. Touch: check pulse rate

-Murphy’s eye -Cuff -Pilot balloon

A

a. Connector
b. Magill curve
c. Pilot balloon
d. Cuff
e. Murphy’s eye

Leftover: Bevel

17
Q

Unit of measurement for ET tubes is…

A

Millimeters (mm)

18
Q
  1. What is a consequence of over inflation of the ET tube cuff?
  2. What is a consequence of under inflation of the ET tube cuff?
A
  1. Traumatized trachea
  2. Aspiration
    - Patient can also inhale room air & exhale iso air
19
Q
  1. How do you determine the proper length of the tube?
  2. What can happen if the tube is too long?
A
  1. Tip of the nose to the thoracic inlet
  2. Can intubate one lung instead of both
20
Q
  1. What is a common complication during feline intubation?
  2. What is done to prevent the complication mentioned above?
A
  1. Laryngeal reflex/spasms
  2. Lidocaine to paralyze folds. Lubricate end of tube.
21
Q
  1. Where do you place an esophageal stethoscope? (be specific)
  2. What are you assessing with the esophageal stethoscope?
A
  1. Down the esophagus until heart sounds are maximized.
    - Measure to thoracic inlet.
  2. Patients HR & heart sounds
22
Q

What three parameters are being measured using an oscillometric monitor? (3)

A
  1. Systolic
  2. Diastolic
  3. MAP (Mean Arterial Pressure)
23
Q
  1. What parameter is being measured using the Doppler?
  2. What is a pro and a con to using oscillometric monitors?
A
  1. Systolic BP only
  2. Oscillometric monitor:
    - Pro: Systolic & diastolic BP are calculated, non-invasive measurement.
    - Con: Difficult reading on awake & moving patients
24
Q
  1. What is apnea?
  2. How does the apnea monitor take its measurements?
A
  1. “Not breathing”
  2. “Beep” is sound on expiration of patient. Alarm will sound after x amount of time passes without an expiration.
    - Doesn’t measure quality of of RR!
25
Q
  1. What is the ETCO2 device monitoring?
  2. What are the normal parameters for ETCO2?
  3. What does it mean if the ETCO2 reading is too high?
  4. What could you do, as an anesthetist, to correct a reading that is too high?
A
  1. CO2 levels exhaled
  2. 35-45mmHg
  3. Too high:
    - Hypoventilating
    - Rebreathing CO2 from exhausted soda lime
  4. Correction:
    - Assisted ventilation
    - Change out soda lime!!
26
Q

Two ways you can determine ET tube diameter for patient:

A
