Surgical Nursing And Anestesia Flashcards
What can be described as drug induced unconsciousness, characterized by controlled, reversible depression of the CNS perception
General anesthesia
What does general anesthesia include?
Muscle relaxation, necrosis, analgesia
What is necrosis?
A drug induced state of deep sleep from which a patient cannot be easily aroused
What is analgesia?
Loss of sensitivity to pain
What can be referred to as the loss of sensation in a circumscribed body area?
Local anesthesia
What can be described as a loss of sensation in a larger the limited body area
Regional anesthesia
What can be described as neural process of encoding noxious stimuli; detection of painful stimuli
Nociception
What can be described as a state characterized by CNS depression accompanied by drowsiness. Patient likely unaware of surroundings
Sedation
What are the characteristics of sedation?
Mild, moderate and profound
What can be described as the stage of general anesthesia that provides unconsciousness, muscle relaxation and analgesia sufficient for painless performing of surgery
Surgical anesthesia
What can be described as multiple drug approach, drugs are targeted and attenuate individual components of anesthetic state
Balanced anesthesia
Which route of anesthesia has the fastest onset?
Inhalation

IV,IM,SQ
True or false there are no safe, drug drugs only safe anesthetist
True
What does the pre-anesthetic evaluation include?
History, physical examination, laboratory evaluation
What does pre-anesthetic evaluation help with?

What are the factors for protocol selection?
Signalment procedure, comfort with drugs, drugs, available, personnel involved, cost
What is signal examples for protocol selection?
Breed, temperament, age
What does hypercapnia mean?
Increased carbon dioxide
What does hypoxemia mean?
Low oxygen
True or false compensatory mechanisms are negatively affected by anesthesia
True
What can pale gums indicate?
Anemia, vasoconstriction, hypovolemia
What can cyanosis indicate?
Hypoxemia
