from outside of mouth, draw line from laterl canthus and zygomatic arch

30
Q

how to do infraorbital nerve block in large animal

A

Desensitization of the nose, upper incisors and rostral maxilla on the side injected

Draw a line from the rostral end of the facial crest to the nasal incisive notch, the foramen will be just caudal to the midpoint of this line

  • Where nerve exits the foramen
  • The needle should be directed rostral to caudal and angled to get down to the nerve at the level of the foramen
31
Q

how to do infraorbital block in small animal

A

can be done in mouth or outside

infraorbital formamen is above PM3 in dogs, or rostroventral to the medial canthus (Feline)

* biopsies
* mandibulectomy

33
Q

how to do large animal mandibular block

A

The target for injection is the intersection of 2 lines:
1. line that extends caudally along occlusal surface of mandibular cheek teeth
2. line that passes perpendicularly from lateral canthus of the eye

can accidently get lingual nerve- pts can not feel tongue, carful they might bite it

34
Q

how to do alveolar inferior nerve block in small animals

A

transcutaneous (extraoral)
trans-buccal (intraoral)

inject medially and caudal to last molar

Palpate the nerve at the opening of the foramen. Using a 25-gauge, 5/8 - 1 inch needle, enter either ventrally through the skin or intraorally through the buccal mucosa, and direct needle toward the mandibular foramen

35

blind: The needle enters perpendicular to an imaginary line connecting acromion and the greater tuberosity of the humerus, advancing parallel to the body
nerve stimulator
US guided

37
Q

complications of brachial plexus block

A

A
43
Q

how to do femoral nerve block

A

medial side of leg

palpate femoral artery and inject just cranial to the artery

used for:
Anesthesia of the femur (mid diaphysis to distal), femorotibial joint (medial aspect of the femorotibial joint capsule), femorotibial intra-articular structures, skin of the dorsomedial tarsus and first digit. Typically used for distal femoral fractures and stifle surgery.

usually will block both femoral and sciatic nerve

44

45
Q

sciatic nerve block will — and complications

A

Indications
* In combination with a femoral nerve block, anesthesia of the entire pelvic limb (distal to mid femur) can be
achieved.
* Anesthesia of the stifle (partial) and the structures distal to it.

* Nerve injury resulting in temporary or permanent foot
knuckling.

46

how to do sciatic nerve block

A

parasacral approach: imaginary line between the greater trochanter and the ischiatic tuberosity. Dividing the line in 3rds, enter with the needle perpendicular to skin between the cranial and middle thirds, one thumb dorsally

gluteal approach: US guided

47
Q

advantages and disadvantages of neuraxial anesthesia

A

Administration of agents in the CNS, either in the epidural space (extrathecal) or under the arachnoid (intrathecal)

Advantages:

  • Perioperative analgesia
  • MAC & drug sparing effects

Disadvantages:

  • Risk of motor blockage (drug choice)
  • Urinary retention (drug choice)
  • Risk of drug toxicity, respiratory dysfunction, neurotoxicity, infections
48
Q

when not to do neuraxial anesthesia

A
  • Coagulopathies
  • Hypotensive / Hypovolemic patients (sympathetic blockade)
  • Skin infections / neoplasia at the site of injection
  • Pre-existing neurological deficits that require monitoring of progression
  • Obesity or anatomic abnormalities – difficult landmarks
49
Q

where is the epidural space

A

between the periosteum and the dura mater

50
Q

why use epidural

A
  • Surgery of pelvis and pelvic limbs, tail, perineum
  • Rectal / vaginal / preputial prolapse
  • Laparotomies/Sternotomies
  • Epidural analgesia can also be extended by using an indwelling catheter
51
Q

how to tell if in epidural space

A
  • Hanging drop
  • Loss of resistance (LOR)
  • “Pop” feeling is not reliable
  • Electrolocation
52
Q

what kind of meds used for epidural for small animal

A
53
Q

how to do epidural in large animal

A

place epidural catheter

give single, small dose into C1-C2

want to provide pain relief, but allow pt to still stand after procedure

lift tail and find space

54
Q

what drugs for large animal local epidural

A
