quizzes, kahoots etc. Flashcards
what drives tissue perfusion
mean arterial pressure
can you measure mean arterial pressure by feeling the pulse
no
this picture is of a pulse oximeter probe. what 2 parameters does this device measure
saturation of hemoglobin with oxygen and pulse rate
what is central venous pressure a measure of
the blood returning to the right side of the heart
what is this anmals pulse rate
149
does this animla need supplemental oxygen
yes
list 3 ways you can assess blood oxygen content
- mucous membrane colour
- pulse oximetry
- blood gas analysis
which 2 devices would you use to measure oxygen content
pulse oximeter and blood gas analyser
how does a pulse oximeter work
it measures hemoglobin saturation by measuring the transmission of light through a pulsatile vascular tissue bed
what word best describes these mucous membranes
cyanotic
what is the bohr effect
describes the release of carbon dioxide facilitatin the uptake of oxygen in the lungs
which trace is the capnograph
white line
below is a trace of a capnograph. what do the blue box and pink circle represetn
blue box: inspiration
Pink circle: expiration
which molecule in the blood accounts for the majority (75%) of the voerall protein buffering capacity of the body
hemoglobin
what readings does a dopple machine estimate in cats?
- mean arterial blood pressure
- systolic arterial blood pressure
but it depends which papers you read - world is undecided
what is the animals mean BP
55
how is carbon dioxide transported
free in the plasma and in the erythrocytes
in the event of a capnograph breaking or not being availible, are there any other methods to evaluate carbon dioxide in a patient?
take a blood sample and measure the CO2 in the sample (blood gas analysis)
