Q

Describe V gel intubation

A
  • Easy to insert & maintain ; fast
  • different sizes
  • Water-based lube before use
    < mucosal damage compare to ET tube
  • Bulkier
22
Q

Rabbit considerations?

A
  • Atropine ineffective in 50% of rabbits due to presence of atropin esterase -> atropine degradation into inactive products
  • Glycopyrrolate admin ??
23
Q

Describe monitoring for rabbit ?

A
  • Ocular position: unreliable
  • Pedal withdrawl/ toe pinch
  • Ear pinch/flick
  • Jaw tone?
  • Muscle relaxation
  • righting reflex
  • Change in parameters
24
Q

Describe pulse oximetry in rabbits

A
  • Pulse oximeter -> good but with high HR may not be as good ( use vet specific equipment)
  • Reliable at >85%
  • Move clip frequently
25
Q

HR monitoring in rabbits?

A
  • Oesophageal stethoscope
  • Doppler
  • ECG (high HR)
  • HR awake : 180-325bpm
26
Q

Detail BP monitoring in rabbits?

A
  • 90-120/130mmHg (systolic
  • 80-90mmHg (MAP)
  • Doppler or Oscillometry
  • Invasive BP
27
Q

What is a normal temp in rabbits?

A

38-39.6°C

28
Q

What analgesia for rabbits?

A
  • Opioids (meth/bup)
  • NSAIDS (meloxicam & carprofen)
  • Local, epidural & local blocks
  • Doses of bupivacaine <2mg/kg & lidocaine <4mg/kg
29
Q

Recovery - Rabbits

A
  • Warm, calm
  • Reverse drugs if poss
  • Prevent ileus -> offer food ASAP, prokinetics, syringe feeding
  • Minimise stress ->discharge asap
30
Q

Other considerations in Ferrets?

A
  • Short gastric time
  • hypoglycaemia
  • Fasting (2-4h)
33
Q

Describe vascular access in ferrets.

A
  • Thick skin
  • cephalic, lateral saphenous, jugular veins
  • Sometimes light sedation needed
  • IO catheter
34
Q

Recap the normal physiologic values in ferrets

A
35
Q

PREMED - FERRET?

37
Q

Descirbe intubation in ferrets?

A
  • easy visualisation
  • Laryngospasm might occur
  • ET tube 2-3.5 mm
38
Q

Describe monitoring anaesthesia in ferrets

A
  • Eye position central @ adequate plane
  • Palpebral reflex absent if deep
  • Jaw/ masseter tone
  • ANS response to surgical stimulation
39
Q

IV preferred, SC/IP often used
Hartmans
10ml/kg /hr

40
Q

A
  • Ketamine
  • Gabapentin? Case report only
41
Q

Reptiles - SPecial why?

A
  • 2 atria 1 ventricle
  • Insp/Expiration ative
  • Episodic respiratory pattern
  • No diaphragm
  • Ectothermic
  • Renal portal system
  • Glottis at base of the tongue
  • Respiratory control by PaCO2 and PaO2
42
Q

NSAID REPTILES?

A

Avoid if GI dx , kidney dx, dehydration, hypovolor Steroid admin

Carprofen, meloxicam, ketoprofen

43
Q

OPIOID REPTILES?

A

Bup, Pethidine, methadone
Butorphanol

44
Q

Detail anatomy / physiology in birds and their effect on anaesthesia

A
45
Q

Bird - upper airway ?

A
  • Glottis at base of tongue
  • Trachea (long and wide, complete rings, +/_ septum or division)
46
Q

Bird - lower airway?

A

Lung - fixed volume
- Unidirectional airflow
Air Sacs

47
Q

Describe fasting in birds

A

HIGH metabolci rate + rapid GIT transit time + poor hepatic glycogen storage

Dec regurg & GIT volume -> facilitate respiration BUT hypoglycaemia

48
Q

Detail fasting times for different size birds?
WHY?

A
  • Small (1-2hrs)
  • Medium (2-4hrs)
  • Large (6-9h)
  • Raptors (8-12hrs)
49
Q

T/F - KAppa receptors more prominent in birds?

A

TRUE - butorphanol may have more analagesic role

50
Q

Adjuncts in birds?

A
  • Gabapentin?
  • Amantidine :)
  • Cannibinoids
