principles of clinical practice: anaesthesia and analgesia Flashcards
triple
medetomidine hydrochloride, ketamine, and torbugesic
what want from anaesthesia
- unconcioussness
- analgesia
- muscle relaxation
analgesia in anaesthesia is necessary to
- inhibit processing of pain in CNS
- antinociception
central eye position in anaesthesia indicates
light or deep anaesthesia
eye position in adequate anaesthesia
rotated
palpebral reflex and anaesthesia
if there is one than anaesthesia is too light
movement is absent in what anaesthesia
adequate and deep anaesthesia
the cornea is dry when in anaesthesia
in deep anaesthesia
likelyhood that healthy dog dies due to anaesthesia
1 in 1849
likelyhood that healthy cat dies due to anaesthesia
1 in 895
likelyhood that healthy rabbit dies due to anaesthesia
1 in 72
likelyhood that healthy guinea pig dies due to anaesthesia
1 in 26
stuff that can happen due to anaesthesia (6)
- muscle nerve damage
- cerebral hypoxia causing poor recovery
- peripheral nerve damage
- spinal cord damage
- blindness
- post anaesthetic cognitive dysfunction
low albumin and anaesthetic
- means more free drug so the dose will have a greater effect
- risk of oedema developing
kidney failure and anaesthetic
- will show as increased creatinine or urea
- causing acidaemia
- increased free drug conc
- also depresses myocardial contractility
- and shifts HbO2 curve to right so lower affinity to oxygen
3 dangers of waste anaesthetic gas
- cancer
- miscarriage
- liver/kidney disease
gas cylinder size usually attached to an anaesthetic machine
size E
gas cylinder size normally attached to pipelines
size J
oxygen cylinder colour
black cylinder with white on top
nitrous oxide cylinder colour
blue
air cylinder colour
grey cylinder with black/white quarters on top
oxygen is stored at (pressure)
13700kPa or 137 bar
nitrous oxide stored how
as liquid with gas on top at 4400kPa (4.4 bar)
how tell how much nitrous oxide in cylinder
- weigh it
- molecular weight 44 so 1 mole is 44 g
- 1 mole of gas is 22.4 litres
pipeline system for gas end in valves called
schrader valves
max O2 concentration you get out of an O2 concentrator
95%
how read a flowmeter
- top of bobbin
- middle of ball bearing
low resistance or draw-over vaporises define
are in the system and gas that flows through them is generated by the patient
emergency oxygen flush delivers O2 at a flow of
30-70 liters per minute
2 rebreathing systems
- circle
- to-and-fro
minute volume define
volume of air inspired or expired in a minute
tidal volume define
volume of air inspired or expired in one breath
estimate tidal volume to be
10-15 ml/kg
magill fresh gas flow
equal to minute volume
fresh gas flow for IPPV magill
3 x minute volume
magill weight animal
over 10kg
lack types 3
- parallel
- mini
- co-axial
lack fresh gas flow
equal to minute volume
estimate of minute volume
200 ml/kg/min
IPPV flow rate lack
3 x minute volume
standard lack animal weight
over 10kg
mini lack animal weight
under 10kg
ayers T-piece flow rate
2.5 - 3 x minute volume
ayers T-piece animal weight
under 10 kg
bain appearance
co-axial T piece with inspiratory tube surrounded by expiratory tube
fresh gas flow rate bain
2.5-3 x minute volume
bain animal weight
10kg
using a circle fresh gas flow rate
- first 10-15 minutes use a higher fresh gas flow (100ml/kg/min)
- then reduce to 50ml/kg/min
when change carbon dioxide absorbers
when half of it has changed colour
anticholinergics action
block acetylcholine receptors of parasympathetic system
3 anticholinergics
- atropine
- glycopyrollate
- hyoscine
anticholinergics 5 side effects
- increase heart rate
- reduce salivation
- reduce gut motility
- dilate pupil of eye
- relax bronchi
3 tranquillisers and sedative agents groups
- phenothiazine
- 2-adrenoceptor agonists
- benzodiazepines
define maximal effect
- increaseing dose does not increase action only length
3 phenothiazines
- acepromazine
- chlorpromazine
- propionylpromazine
phenothiazines are (tranquiliser or sedative)
tranquiliser
phenothiazine action
- dopamine antagonist
- alpha 1 adrenoceptor antagonist
- antihistamine
- anticholinergic effects
acepromazine is a (2)
- antiemetic
- vasodilator
butyrophenones sedative or tranquiliser
tranquiliser
butyrophenone action
- alpha 1 adrenoceptor blocker
- dopamine antagonist
example 1 butypophenone
azaperone
5 alpha 2 adrenoceptor agonists
- xylazine
- medetomidine
- dexmedetomidine
- detomidine
- romfidine
alpha 2 adrenoceptor agonist actions
centrally to inhibit norepinephrine release
- peripherally in post synaptic receptors
benzodiazepines actions
enhance affinity of GABAa receptor to GABA so enhancing inhibitory transmission
profofol metabolism
not all by the liver
alfaxalone anaesthesia is a (type)
steroid
alfaxalone given
i/v or i/m
ketamine is a
dissociative anaesthetic
ketamine given
i/v or i/m
ketamine pros
- some analgesic properties
- no CVS depression
thiopentone metabolism
slowly
it accumulates in body fat
thipentone given
i/v
if extravascular then get skin necrosis
etomidate pros
good in sick animals as minimal CVS/resp depression
