exam 4 Flashcards
tech job during anesthesia, 2
make sure vitals are at acceptable limits, maintain adequate anesthetic depth
lowest acceptable HR under anesthesia
lrg= 60, sm=70, cats= 100bpm
pulse strength disappears when systolic pressure is less than
60mmHg
mucous membranes become pale during anesthesia because (2)
peripheral vasoconstriction, decreased tissue perfusion
examples of peripheral vasoconstriction (3)
hypothermia, pain, alpha-2-agonist
causes of decreased tissue perfusion (6)
too deep, bradycardia, arrhythmia, cardia arrest, decreased BP, hemorrhage
what things do you watch for regarding respirations during anesthesia (4)
res bag, rate, depth, effort
tidal volume decreases by _% during anesthesia
25%
ventilation pt does 2 things
blow off CO2, prevent atelectesis
what is considered hypoventilation
breaths below 8bpm
other causes of hypoventilation (3)
too deep, obesity/heavy animal, positional
p wave is
atrial depolarization
QRS is
ventricular depolarization
T is
ventricular repolarization
3 things to look at when looking t rhythem
p followed by QRS, distance between everything, waves normal in size and shape
EKG gets heart rate by counting
highest peak
sinus arrhythmias are not normal in __, normal in __ rare in _
cat, dog, horse
causes of tachycardia (9)
too light, pain, drugs, hypoxia, hypotension, anemia, hyperthyroidism, hemorrhage, cardiac dz
if tachycardia is caused by PT being too light, the intervention is (3)
turn up vap, more induction drug, more opiod
drugs that can causes tachycardia (3)
atropine, ketamine/telazol, epinephrine
if tachycardia is caused by hypoxia (2)
increase o2 flow, vent pt
if tachycardia is caused by hypotension, do what(3)
turn down vap, fluids, drugs
if tachycardia is caused by anemia/hemorrhage do (2)
blood transfusion, give fluids
if tachycardia is caused by hyperthyroidism, give
tapazole, methimazole
causes of Bradycardia (5)
too deep, drugs, hypothermia, hyperkalemia, addisions dz
drugs that cause Bradycardia (2)
alpha-2, high doses of opiods
if bradycardia is caused by hyperkalemia do waht
give fluids
tx for bradycardia
atropine
sinus bradycardia rates
lrg dog <100
what is a 1st* heart block
interval between p and qrs
what could happen to a 1st * heart block under anesthesia
can turn into 2nd *
what is a 2nd* heartblock
some p waves not followed by QRS
2nd* heart block is aka
incomplete heart block
what heart rate happens with 2nd* heart block
slow HR
2nd * heart block, when auscultating hear
p as a missed beat
causes of 2nd* heart block (6)
too deep, alpha-2, electroimbalance, acid/base imbalance, myocardial hypoxia, underlying cardiac DZ
if 2nd* heart block is caused by electro/ acid-base imbalance, do what?
give fluids
if 2nd* heart block is caused by myocardial hypoxia, do what?
ventilate
general rule with arrhythmias, do what? (2)
turn down vap, ventilate pt
drug of choice for 2nd* heart block
atropine
what is a 3rd* heart block?
QRS prolonged, P unrelated
severe 2nd* can turn into what?
3rd* heart block
common cause of pulse deficit?
VPC
causes of VPC (10)
too deep, drugs, electrolyte/acid-base imbalance, myocardial hypoxica, cardiac dz, GDV, splenic masses, cardiac bruising, breed, stress/pain
tx for vpc
lidocaine bolus or drip
Ventricular tachycardia is considered when
3 or more VPC in a row
what kind of heart rate with Vtach?
high heart rate
heart rate of v fib
300-600
cardiac output with v.fib
little to none
hyperkalemia looks like what on a EKG
tall spiked T waves, low heart rate
tall and wide waves also mean
myocardial hypoxia
reasons for hyperventilation (4)
too light, surgical stimulation, metabolic acidosis, breathing problem
3 reasons for hypoventilation
increase vaporizer, more induction drug, increased opiods
tx for hypoventilation
ventilate pt
