20
Q

Cushing Reflex

A

Severe Increase ICP leading to poor cerebral perfusion
Leads to sympathetic response: vasoconstriction, increased cardiac output leading to hypertension
Carotid baroreceptors sense hypertension and cause reflex bradycardia
Increased ICP causes dysfunction of respiratory center causing irregular breathing pattern

cause seizures or lower seizure threshold
Decrease Cerebral blood flow

22
Q

Acepromazine - CNS effects

A

decrease seizure threshold

23
Q

Benzodiazepines - CNS effects

A

Decrease Cerebral Blood Flow and ICP

Control seizures

24
Q

Opioids - CNS effects

A

Minimal effects on Cerebral Blood Flow and ICP

25
Q

What are the side effects of Opioids?

A

Vomiting
hypoventilation
increase ICP

26
Q

What drug is used for CRI maintenance of anesthesia in CNS disease?

A

Propofol

27
Q

Etomidate - CNS effects

A

Decreases ICP, CBF< and CMRO2

28
Q

Ketamine - CNS effects

A

Increases ICP and CBF

May cause seizures

29
Q

Succinylcholine - CNS effects

A

Increases ICP

30
Q

What are the CNS effects of inhalational anesthetics?

A

at greater than 1 MAC increase CBF and ICP via cerebral vasodilation

31
Q

Which inhaled anesthetic has the greatest CNS effects?

A

Halothane

32
Q

What do you do for Intracranial disease during anesthesia?

A

Maintain straight neck and head slightly elevated
Prevent vomiting/coughing
Prevent hyperglycemia, hypercapnia, hypoxemia
Conservative fluid recuccitation
Mannitol before induction if increased ICP is suspected

33
Q

Trendelenburg-lie positioning

A

In horses: head down positioning in isoflurane anesthetized horses increases ICP by 80% and decreases CBF 20%

34
Q

Equine intracarotid injection

A

causes violent behavioral reaction and seizures

35
Q

How do you treat seizures from Equine Intracarotid injection?

A

Thiopental +/- guafenesin

Supplemental O2 and fluids

36
Q

What are the functions of the Liver?

A
Protein metabolism 
Carbohydrate metabolism 
Fat metabolism
Vitamin storage 
Iron storage 
Produces coagulation factors
Immune function 
Metabolizes Drugs, hormones, toxins
37
Q

What are the clinical signs of liver disease?

A
Depression 
anorexia
weight loss
Icterus 
ascites
abnormal behavior 
seizures
38
Q

What drugs may worsen the signs of hepatic encephalopathy?

A

Benzodiazepines

39
Q

What are the drug considerations for Liver disease?

A

Liver metabolizes most anesthetic drugs so the drug action will be increased and/or prolonged
Many drugs are highly protein bound so hypoproteinemia can will cause higher blood levels

40
Q

What are the pre-anesthetic considerations for Liver disease?

A

Optimize perfusion
Correct hypoglycemia and electrolyte disturbances
Abdominocentesis for ascites
Blood type and crossmatch

41
Q

What drugs should you avoid in gallbladder disease?

A

Opioids

42
Q

What are the preferred drugs of liver disease?

A

Propofol
Opioids
Alfaxalone
Etomidate

43
Q

Which inhalation anesthetic increases total hepatic blood flow?

A

Isoflurane

44
Q

What inhalation anesthetics decrease portal vein and total hepatic blood flow?

A

Sevoflurane

Des

45
Q

Which local anesthetics are metabolized by the liver?

A

Lidocaine
Bupivicaine
Mepivacaine

46
Q

Why is Acepromazine is contraindicated in liver disease?

A

Vasodilation
Decreased BP
Inhibits platelet aggregation

47
Q

Why are alpha 2 agonists contraindicated in liver disease?

A

Decreased CO

48
Q

Why are barbiturates contraindicated in liver disease?

A

Extensively redistributed, dependent on hepatic metabolism

Highly protein bound

49
Q

Why is halothane contraindicated in liver disease?

A

Decreased hepatic blood flow
Metabolized by liver
Hepatopathy

50
Q

Why is Succinylcholine contraindicated in liver disease?

A

Cholinesterases synthesized by liver

51
Q

Why is Guaifenesin contraindicated in liver disease?

A

Metabolized in liver

Metabolite (catechol) can cause toxic neuro effects

52
Q

What are the intra-op considerations for liver disease?

A
Maintain liver perfusion 
Monitor glucose
Monitor hemorrhage 
Monitor depth of anesthesia, drug requirements may be decreased 
Maintain normal body temperature
53
Q

What are the Post-op considerations for liver disease?

A

Check acid/base status, electrolytes, glucose, and pcv/tp
Maintain body temp
Monitor for neurological abnormalities

54
Q

What is important for Portosystemic shunt ligation?

A

Arterial BP monitoring
