PHYSIO LAB: MODULE 2 Flashcards
This technique is essential for diagnostic purposes, monitoring animal health, and administering treatments.
Blood collection (venipuncture)
What is crucial to ensure accuracy and minimize stress to animals during blood collection?
Proper technique
This process involves understanding animal anatomy, behavior, and appropriate blood collection sites.
Blood collection
This aspect of blood collection helps detect diseases, infections, and organ function.
Diagnostics
Tracking treatment progress and identifying metabolic disorders falls under this category.
Health Monitoring
What provides critical data for making proper treatment decisions, including medication and surgical interventions?
Blood collection
Early detection of potential health problems contributes to this long-term aspect of animal care.
Preventive Care
This type of syringe features a twist-lock mechanism for secure attachment of the needle.
Luer-lock Syringe
Designed specifically for insulin administration, this small syringe is used for diabetic patients.
Insulin Syringe
Typically a 1ml syringe, this is used for small volume injections, such as tuberculosis tests.
Tuberculin Syringe
What type of syringe has no needle attachment and is used for administering liquid medications orally?
Oral Syringe
This syringe is designed with a longer, tapered tip for easy connection to tubing and is used for various medical applications.
Catheter tip Syringe
This gauge size is typically used for intramuscular injections to accommodate the thicker tissue.
22 or 23 gauge needle
Which gauge needle is recommended for subcutaneous injections to ensure minimal discomfort for the animal?
25-27 gauge needle
A thicker needle, typically 18 or 20 gauge, is used when injecting larger volumes over 5ml.
Larger volume (over 5ml)
For small-volume injections under 1ml, this type of syringe with a fine needle of 27-30 gauge is ideal.
Tuberculin or insulin syringe
This type of needle is best suited for drawing up or injecting viscous or thick solutions.
Larger gauge needle
Vaccines are typically administered using this size of a smaller gauge needle to reduce pain.
Smaller gauge needle
What step involves ensuring all materials like syringes, tubes, and alcohol are ready before starting blood collection?
Preparation
Selecting the cephalic, jugular, or saphenous vein is part of this step in the blood collection process.
Choosing the Blood Collection Site
This substance is applied to disinfect the selected site and make veins more visible before venipuncture.
This substance is applied to disinfect the selected site and make veins more visible before venipuncture.
During venipuncture, the needle is inserted with the bevel facing in this direction to minimize trauma and ensure blood flow
Bevel-up
To prevent hematomas after needle removal, what must be applied immediately to the puncture site?
Pressure
This issue, caused by too much vacuum pressure or a rapid blood draw, results in the vein collapsing.
Vein Collapse
This complication can arise due to improper angle or rolling veins during needle insertion.
Needle Misplacement
What should be done to prevent a hematoma from forming due to improper occlusion or vein trauma?
Apply immediate pressure and monitor the site
What gauge needle is used for drawing blood, administering thick fluids, and blood transfusions in large animals?
18-Gauge needle
What gauge needle, identified by its pink color code, is commonly used for general injections in large animals and for drawing blood or injecting thicker fluids?
20-Gauge needle
What gauge needle is typically used for routine blood draws and intramuscular injections in humans and animals?
21-Gauge needle
Which gauge needle, coded with blue, is commonly used for general injections, vaccines, antibiotics, and blood draws in small animals like dogs and cats?
22-Gauge needle
Which gauge needle is typically used for small volume injections and venipuncture in smaller animals like cats and for pediatric use, coded with orange?
23-Gauge needle
What gauge needle, with a red color code, is often selected for subcutaneous and intradermal injections, and for administering vaccines, insulin, and anesthetics in small animals?
25-Gauge needle
What gauge needle is used for intradermal injections, allergy tests, local anesthetics, and in small animals or sensitive skin areas, coded with gray?
27-Gauge needle
What gauge needle, coded yellow, is typically used for insulin injections and minimal pain injections in small pets or fine tissue?
30-Gauge needle
What is the gauge size and outer diameter of a needle with an olive color code?
14-Gauge, 0.072in (1.83mm)
Which gauge needle is identified by an amber color code and has an outer diameter of 0.065in (1.65mm)?

What is the gauge and outer diameter of a needle with a gray color code?
16-Gauge, 0.064in (1.63mm)
Which green-coded needle gauge has an outer diameter of 0.050in (1.27mm)?
18-Gauge
What is the gauge and outer diameter of a pink-colored needle?
20-Gauge, 0.036in (0.91mm)
Which purple-coded needle gauge has an outer diameter of 0.033in (0.83mm)?
21-Gauge
What is the needle gauge with a blue color code and an outer diameter of 0.027in (0.70mm)?
22-Gauge
Which orange-colored needle gauge has an outer diameter of 0.025in (0.63mm)?
23-Gauge
What gauge needle is identified by a red color and has an outer diameter of 0.020in (0.53mm)?
25-Gauge
What is the gauge and outer diameter of a white-coded needle?
27-Gauge, 0.016in (0.42mm)
Which vacutainer tube color has no additives, allows blood to clot naturally, and is used for serum chemistry and serology?
Red
What tube color contains EDTA, binds calcium to prevent blood clotting, and is used for complete blood counts (CBC) and blood smears?
Purple/Lavender
Which tube color contains Heparin, inhibits thrombin to prevent blood clotting, and is used for plasma chemistry and blood gas analysis?
Green
Which vacutainer tube color contains Sodium Citrate, binds calcium to prevent clotting, and is used for coagulation studies like Prothrombin Time (PT)?
Blue
What tube color contains Potassium Oxalate or Sodium Fluoride, prevents glycolysis, and is used for glucose and lactate measurements?
Gray
