18
Q

induction

A

production of unconsciousness or anesthesia by use of appropriate agents

19
Q

inhalant

A

absorbed through the lungs at alveolar level

20
Q

intubation

A

insertion of tube, as into the larynx

21
Q

local analgesics

A

analogs of cocaine. blocks transmission of impulses along nerve fiber. acts directly on a nerve to lose sensation and motor function

22
Q

maintenance

A

after induction, enter anesthetic depth adequately for surgical procedure

23
Q

MAC

A

deals with inhalants. measures potency comparing one agent to another

24
Q

narcotic

A

opiates. derived from opium plant.

25
Q

narcotic agonist antagonist

A

partial agonist. reverses narcotic sedation, and keeps pain relief

26
Q

narcotic antagonist

A

reversal of narcotic

27
Q

neuroleptanalgesia

A

combo of narcotic and tranquilizer. calming effect and pain relief

28
Q

PPV positive pressure ventilation

A

“sigh” an artificial means of ventilation.

29
Q

procedure

A

any surgical operation or diagnosis

30
Q

recovery

A

discontinuation of anesthesia administration and the time an animal can stand and walk without assistance.

31
Q

respiration

A

exchange of O2 and CO2 at alveolar level

32
Q

respiration minute volume

A

Total volume X number of breaths per minute

33
Q

saturation concentration

A

max concentration of vapor that can be reached at room temperature for a fluid in a closed container.

34
Q

sedation

A

a mild degree of CNS depression

35
Q

sedative

A

an agent that calms

36
Q

surgical anesthesia

A

degree of anesthesia where surgery may safely be performed. consists of stages and planes of GA

37
Q

tachycardia

A

rapid heart rate

38
Q

tidal volume

A

in and out of lungs in one breath. 10-15 ml/kg

39
Q

tranquilizer

A

sedative or neuroleptic. causes calming and decreased anxiety

40
Q

unconsciousness

A

inability to respond to stimulus

41
Q

ventilation

A

movement of gases in and out of alveoli, controlled by ventilizer

42
Q

volatile liquids

A

agents stored as liquids and administered as vapor with O2
