Q

What medical condition should you not use dissociative anesthetics with?

21
Q

How do dissociative anesthetics work?

A

Instead of suppressing neurons in the CNS, it will stimulate certin neurons with in the CNS that lead to suppression of inhibitory neurons.

22
Q

What are the effects of dissociative anesthetics? (7)

A
  1. Poor muscle relaxation
  2. Swallowing and laryngeal reflexes may persist throughout anesthesia
  3. May precipitate seizures
  4. Provide no visceral analgesia
  5. May produce apneustic respiration
  6. No cardiovascular system depression
  7. May increase salivary and respiratory secretions
23
Q

What drug when given with dissociative anesthetics can promote muscle relaxation

A

benzodiazapines

24
Q

Apneustic breathing pattern

A

Will breath in and hold breath for a few seconds

25
What could dissociative anesthetics possible worsten?
current arrhythmia
26
What can dissociative anesthetics help prevent?
windup
27
windup
an exaggerated response to low intensity pain stimuli that resluts in worstening of postoperative pain
28
what are dissociative anesthetics used in combination with?
Use in combination with a tranquilizer/sedative
29
what should you apply to eyes when using dissociative anesthetics?
Apply ophthalmic lubricant to eyes
30
what can dissociative anesthetics cause when given IM?
tissue irritation
31
what sensitivities can dissociative anesthetics cause during recovery?
hypersensitive to touch, light, and sound
32
which trauma should you not administer dissociative anesthetics to
head trauma
33
which anesthetic drug is meatabolize by the liver and excreted by the kidney?
dissociative anesthetics
34
what is the administation techinique for dissociative anesthetics?
10 - 15 seconds by IV injection
35
Which is the recently introduce injectable anesthetic
Alfaxalone
36
What are the effects of alfaxalone?
Produces a rapid, short-lasting anesthetic effect with minimal side effects
37
Which injectable anesthetic is alfaxalone similar to? | What is the adavantage of alfaxalone?
- Propofol | - Less of a negative effect on the cardiovascular system
38
How is alfaxalone administered?
Labeled for IV administration but can be given IM
39
what kind of excitation can be seen during recovery ?
Transient
40
What is the administration technique for alfaxalon
over 15 seconds
41
Which injectable anesthetic is an ultra-short-acting induction agent
Etomidate
42
what kind of effect does etomidate have on the cardiovascular system?
minimal
43
which injectable anesthetic is the drug of choice for animals with sever heart disease?
etomidate
44
what can etomidate cause when injected? (3)
1. Can cause pain at IV injection 2. nausea 3. vomiting
45
What does guaifenesin help to facilitate?
1. induction 2. intubation 3. recovery
46
j
kn
47
How is guaifenesin used to produce an anesthetic effect?
in combination with ketamine or alpha 2 agonist (Xylaxine and detomidine)
48
What is the purpose for endotracheal intubation? (5)
1. Best way to deliver inhalant anesthetics 2. Ensures an open airway 3. Facilitates accurate administration of anesthetic agents 4. Allows controlled ventilation of lungs 5. Prevents aspiration of debris into lungs
49
