1
Q

What 4 parameters do we monitor during surgery?

A

Heart (rate, rhythm, ECG, PaO2)

Arterial BP

Respiration (rate, depth, effort)

ETCO2

2
Q

T/F: a normal ECG confirms normal CO

A

FALSE

*heart can have pulseless electrical activity

3
Q

For adequate tissue perfusion, the following parameters must be at least:

1) Systolic pressure
2) mean arterial pressure

A

1) >80mmHg

2) >60mmHg

4
Q

Which BP parameters (SAP, DAP, MAP) are measured by:

1) Oscillometric
2) Doppler
3) Sphygomanometer

A

1) SAP, DAP, MAP
2) SAP
3) SAP, DAP

5
Q

Which drug, used for treatment of hypotension, increases contractility but does NOT cause vasoconstriction?

A

Dobutamine

*No increases in afterload

6
Q

What does the pulse oximeter measure?

A

oxygen saturation

7
Q

When SaO2 is 90% what is PaO2 estimated to be?

A

~60mmHg

8
Q

How can use estimate PaCO2 using ETCO2 in:

1) small animals
2) large animals

A

1) add 1-5mmHg to ETCO2

2) add 5-10mmHg to ETCO2
