SASx - Anesthesiology Review Flashcards
What arteries are used for direct BP investigation in the horse? (Where would you place your catheter)
facial artery, lateral metatarsal
What is the normal TPR for a dog?
T = 100.4-102.2, P = 60-120, R = 10-30
What is the most common site to pull a sample for arterial blood-gas analysis in a sheep?
median artery
What flow rate is used during induction with a rebreathing system?
high flow (50-100 mL/kg/min)
-
Flow rates - rebreathing system
- Induction: high flow (50-100 mL/kg/min)
- Maintenance: semi-closed (20-50 mL/kg/min) or low flow (10-20 mL/kg/min)
- Recovery: high flow (50-100 mL/kg/min)
What does the P wave of an ECG represent?

atrial depolarization
What is the normal pH range for arterial blood?
7.35 - 7.45
Adequate perfusion of kidneys & viscera requires a SAP of:
greater than or equal to 80 mmHg
Define hypoxemia in terms of SpO2 and PaO2:
SpO2 < 90% and/or PaO2 < 60 mmHg
How do you calculate minutes of oxygen you have remaining in your E cylinder?

Where do you place a doppler on a donkey?
coccygeal artery
What breathing circuit is shown here?

Mapleson D
- Mapleson D is a non-rebreathing system (NRS).*
- You should always use non-rebreathing systems for patients < 3 kg. Non-rebreathing systems are recommended for patients <10 kg, obese animals, and animals that have trouble breathing*
What breathing circuit is shown here?

Mapleson F
- Mapleson F is a non-rebreathing system (NRS) that does not have a pressure gauge to ensure you’re delivering an adequate breath.*
- You should always use non-rebreathing systems for patients < 3 kg. Non-rebreathing systems are recommended for patients <10 kg, obese animals, and animals that have trouble breathing*
If your patient’s body temperature is below ____˚F, they are considered hypothermic
< 96˚F = hypothermia
Below 94°F anesthetic requirements are reduced, recovery may be prolonged, CV function depressed
What is the normal TPR for a cat?
T = 101.3-102.2, P = 120-180, R = 20-40
What is your ECG diagnosis in this 7 month old Labrador Retreiver?

Ventricular tachycardia
Shown below is a normal capnograph waveform. What is indicated by the red arrow?

inspiration
Name 3 monitoring tools that can be used to assess oxygenation:
- Pulse Oximetry
- Arterial Blood Gas – PaO2
- MM color
What does the QRS complex of an ECG represent?

ventricular depolarization and atrial repolarization
When using doppler for blood pressure measurement, the width of the cuff should be ~_____% circumference of limb
30-40%
- When using doppler for blood pressure measurement, the width of the cuff should be ~30-40% circumference of limb*
- *Same for all indirect methods**
Identify the arrhythmia.

Atrial Flutter
Note the sawtooth pattern on the ECG. This pattern is due to rapid rotary depolarization of the atria

Name 3 monitoring tools for obtaining a patient’s HR:
- Esophageal stethoscope
- Regular Stethoscope (auscultation)
- ECG
Where do you place the leads for ECG on a dog?
- White: level of the right elbow
- Black: level of the left elbow
- Red: left stifle or abdomen

Minimum FiO2 =
35%
Shown below is a normal capnograph waveform. What is indicated by the red arrow?

expiratory upstroke
