25
Withdrawal of which barbiturate can cause a seizure (long, short, ultra-short)?
All 3 especially ultra short acting (ultra-short have greatest effect in brain) (long acting have biggest effect in liver)
26
What condition/s might an animal have that might require you to increase the dose of pentabarbitol?
Epileptic condition or ongoing seizure
27
What does barbiturates have on the g.i. tract during and after surgery (same, different, etc)?
- Decrease in motility during surgery (smooth muscle relaxation all along the gut, you get a stasis) - increase in motility after surgery (spasms, vomitting. Acts like a withdrawal effect)
28
a continuous i.v. infusion/drip of _____ would cause anesthesia?
Propofol
29
Which anesthetic compound is most likely to cause hallucinations?
Ketamine
30
Which anesthetic compound is most likely to cause a burning sensation when injected i.m. (but may not cause tissue damage)?
Ketamine
31
Anesthetic Compound that is Contraindicated in animals with history of seizure?
Ketamine
32
What do repeated doses of ketamine do to duration of action or change in efficacy?
Decrease their efficacy (can gain tolerance i.e. "tachyphlaxis." After a while, animal no longer anesthesized at same dose)
33
Contraindicated in cases of head injury?
Ketamine
34
Tachyphlaxis develops to which anesthetic compound?
Ketamine
35
Which is the safest i.v. anesthetic with less of a decrease bp effect (but problem with causing steroid synthesis decrease/adrenal difficiency)?
Etomidate
36
With inhalant anesthetics, how is the ED50 expressed?
Expressed as MAC value, not ED50
37
What are the units for the new ED50 value expressed in for inhalant anesthetics?
Given in Volume % (total volume of gas being administered to patient through the machine)
38
Inhalants have a high/low therapeutic ratio?
Low
39
What is the general MAC value for anesthetics i.e. what MAC value will most likely cause anesthesia?
In general about 1.5-2x MAC value
40
The anesthetic potency produced by inhalant gases is caused by what characteristic of a gas?
Oil:Gas partition coefficient (i.e. lipophilic)
41
Rate of induction and recovery by inhalant gases depends on?
Blood:Gas Partition Coefficient (hydrophilicity of compound since blood is aqueous)
42
A high lipophilicity gives a gas what characteristic?
Means that Gas will be more potent
43
A high hydrophilicity gives a gas what characteristic?
Means that the gas will have a slow onset/termination of action (onset/termination mirror each other)
44
Term for: When one gas helps draw in another?
Second Gas Effect
45
What gas can you use to draw another gas into the body
Nitrous oxide (also has very mild analgesic property, so could be used for that as well)
46
Most gases delivered are lost by what route?
Delivered and Expelled through the Lungs
47
Gases are absorbed in what body tissue the longest?
Adipose tissue (not only inhalant anesthetics. Also true for barbiturates)
48
If you metabolize a drug, is it highly blood soluble or low solubilty?
Metabolism is associated with a high solubility
49
The "Most Potent" anesthetics have a high or low MAC value?
Low
50
Isoflourane is not metabolized because of.....
Its low blood solubility
51
Isoflourane is especially useful for what type of patients?
Birds History of seizures Critically ill
52
Sevoflourine is metabolized, but not toxic. Why?
Low tissue solubility (still metabolized, but does not get into tissues)
53
Methoxyflourane is no longer used due to what problem?
Nephrotoxicity
54
To what degree is Methoxyflourane metabolized?
High (50%) metabolism
55
Sevoflourane is unstable (compared to Isoflourene) so it requires.....
A Preservative (Isoflourane is stable without preservatives)
56
Sevoflourane produces what effect better than some of the other compounds?
Skeletal Muscle Relaxation | but not very potent across the board for other effects
57
Isoflourane and Sevoflourane have a unique effect on animals that have a genetic trait that will lead them to a pathological situation. What is this effect and pathological situation?
Malignant Hyperthermia | Both effect Temperature in the patient
58
Nitrous Oxide used alone as an anesthetic would require you to......
You would have to have the patient under pressure to allow it to work or it would Decrease the amount of oxygen intake in the patient
59
If you use Nitrous Oxide and don't allow the animal to recover gradually, what could happen?
Diffusion Hypoxia (goes in so fast and comes out so fast that it does not allow oxygen to go back through the airways)
60
Nitrous Oxide used for extended periods (hours) of time would cause what type of pathology?
``` Accumulation in different pockets of the body Polyneuropathy syndrome (long term and painful nerve damage) ```
