Rebreathing system
[![]()](http://s3.amazonaws.com/brainscape-prod/system/cm/008/484/214/a_image_thumb.gif?1352242129)
A) Oxygen source with pressure gauge - Oxygen is supplied to the animal. It also is the carrier gas that brings the inhaled anesthetic to the pet.
B) Pressure reducing valve - This valve decreases the high pressure from the oxygen tank to a usable level.
C) Flowmeter - This allows the anesthetist to determine the rate the oxygen will flow to the animal.
D) Oxygen flush valve - This valve allows oxygen to flow directly to the animal bypassing the anesthesia. It is used to quickly increase the amount of oxygen and decrease the anesthesia in the system. This is done at the end of the anesthesia or if the animal is at too deep of a plane of anesthesia during the surgery.
E) Vaporizer - The vaporizer converts the liquid anesthetic to a gas state and adds controlled amounts of the gas anesthetic to the oxygen that is flowing through the machine.
F) Inhalation valve - This allows the gases to flow only to the animal and not back to the vaporizer, by way of a one-way valve.
G) Inhalation hose - This hose carries the gases to the animal.
H) Connecting port - The rebreathing system has a Y piece which connects the inhalation hose, endotracheal tube, and exhalation hose.
I) Endotracheal tube - This tube is placed into the animal's trachea (windpipe) to allow the oxygen and gases to be breathed into the lungs.
J) Exhalation hose - This hose carries the gases the animal breathed out back to the anesthetic machine.
K) Exhalation valve - This allows the exhaled gases to flow only into the anesthetic machine, not back to the animal, by way of a one-way valve.
L) Rebreathing (reservoir) bag - This is an inflatable rubber bag which allows the accumulation of fresh and expired gas during exhalation so that a reservoir of gas is available for the next breath. The bag also acts as a safety device to prevent rapid pressure increases in the system. It can be manually squeezed to 'bag' an animal as needed during surgery to assist breathing.
M) Pop-off valve - This is a pressure relief valve that allows the release of waste gases and extra pressure from the system into the scavenger hose.
N) Scavenger hose - This hose carries waste gases (e.g., oxygen, nitrous oxide, inhalation anesthetic, and carbon dioxide) out of the system and out of the building.
O) CO2 absorber canister - Any gases that do exit through the pop-off valve pass through the carbon dioxide absorber before returning to the animal. The chemicals in the container remove carbon dioxide from the gases that pass through it.
44
Non Rebreathing system
## Footnote
The first three parts are the same as with the rebreathing system.
A) Oxygen source with pressure gauge
B) Pressure reducing valve
C) Flowmeter
It is at this point that the system changes. The nonrebreathing system does not have each of the parts of a rebreathing system. It does have:
E) Vaporizer - The vaporizer converts the liquid anesthetic to a gas state and adds controlled amounts of the gas anesthetic to the oxygen that is flowing through the machine.
G) Inhalation hose - The gases exit the vaporizer and go directly into a hose for delivery to the animal.
H) Connecting port - This connects the inhalation and exhalation hoses to the endotracheal tube.
I) Endotracheal tube - This tube is placed into the animal's trachea to allow the oxygen and gases to be breathed into the lungs.
J) Exhalation hose - Exhaled gases pass through this tube directly to the reservoir bag.
L) Rebreathing (reservoir) bag - Exhaled gases pass into the reservoir bag.
M) Pop-off valve - This is a pressure relief valve that allows the release of waste gases and extra pressure from the system into the scavenger hose.
N) Scavenger hose - Exhaled gases pass from the reservoir bag and out of the system (and building) through the scavenger hose.

pH
Normal Blood: 7.40 = 40 namoMols/liter (H+)
measures: moles / L
46
Henderson Hasselbalch Equation
pH = pK + log ([HCO3] / [CO2])
Interaction b/t CO2 and bicarbonate
47
pCO2
PaO2
SaO2
_Partial Pressure of CO2_
Arterial blood: 35-45mmHg
Mixed venous PCO2: 42-52mmHG
_Partial Pressure Oxygen_
Arterial Blood: 70-100mmHg
Mixed Venous: 35-40mmHg
Normal Value: 5x% inspired air
Room air: 100mmHg
100% oxygen - 500mmHg
Hypoxemia \<60mmHg
_Oxygen Saturation_
Arterial: \>95%
Mixed Venous: 65-75%
Hypoxemia: \<90% saturation
48
Acidosis vs Alkalosis
_Acidosis_
Respiratory Acidosis - Build up of CO2 & High PCO2
Metabolic Acidosis - increase in metabolic acid & loss of bicarbonate
_Alkalosis_
Respiratory Alkalosis - Elimination in CO2 & low PCO2
Metabolic Alkalosis - Loss of acid
49
Anion Gap
Major anions - major cations
i.e. (Na+ + K+) - (CL- - HCO3-)
High anion gap = loss in bicarbonate and replaced by unmeasured anions (lactic acidosis, ketoacidosis, uremia, toxins)
Dogs: 10-18
Cats: 12-19
ECF (extracellular fluid): 20% of body
Treatable Vol.: 30%
50
Awkward Inverse
Hydrogen
pH
Metabolic Acidosis
Hydrogen: When H ion loses an electron to become H+
pH: Decrease in pH = increase in acidity
Metabolic Acidosis: Negative base excess. Decrease in BE = increase acidemia
51
Acid regulation/elimination
_Metabolic acids_
* lactic
* pyruvic
* keto-acids of diabetic acidosis
main regulators of acid: lungs & kidneys
52
Compensation
Lungs compensate faster
Kidneys compensate slower
53
Temperature
Blood/Gas analyzed at 37C
CO2 soluble at lower temp
Reduces pCO2 about 4.5% per C
54
Respiration vs Ventilation
Respiration: Process where O2 is supplied to the tissues and CO2 is eliminated from the tissues
Ventilation: Movement of gas in and out of the aveoli
55
Suture Needles
_Swaged Needles_
* Less traumatic
* expensive
* sterile
_Needle point_
Taper:
* Atraumatic
* Internal organs
Cutting edge:
* Traumatic
* Skin
Reverse Cutting:
* Less traumatic
* Skin
56
Suture Materials
Monofilament vs Multifilament
Natural vs Synthetic
_Monofilament_
* No wicking
* Poor knot security
* No tissue reaction
* has memory
* Less tissue drag
_Multifilament_
* wicks/bacteria
* good knot securty
* Has tissue reaction
* more tissue drag
* easy handling
_Natural_ - breaks down by phagocytosis

* Gut - 3-5 days
* Chromic gut - last longer (10-15 days)
* silk - for opthalmic only
* collagen- for opthalmic only
_Synthetic_
* Vicryl - absorbable, inhibit bacteria, enzyme breaks down
* Dexon - good knot security
