Final Exam Flashcards
(293 cards)

Reptiles
CRI that is used in Equine Acute Abdominal Distress that Increases Heart Contractility
Dobutamine

Patients with _____ get increased Drug penetration into the CNS because the BBB becomes more Permeable
Azotemia
*Need to Decrease our Drug dosages in patients with Azotemia because more drug will cross the BBB into the CNS
In Patients with Renal Disease, we want to Maintain MAP > ____mmHg
80
Maintenance drugs used in Avian Patients
Isoflurane or Sevoflurane
In Patients with Renal Disease, during Anesthesia we want to AVOID ______
STRESS
*Minimize stress to Avoid Catecholamine Release

Concept when the Half Life of your Agonist Drug is Longer than that of the Antagonist (Reversal) Drug, where the animal will Recover but then become Sedate/Anesthetized again once Reversal Agent wears off
Renarcotization
*Try to have your Reversal Agent have a Similar or Longer Duration of Action compared to Anesthetic Drug
Local Anesthesia Technique that is commonly used in Conjunction with General Anesthesia on Pregnant Animals
Lumbosacral Epidural
*Epidural Blood Volume is decreased by 1/3rd in Pregnant Patients

____ Complete Cycles of Inspiration and Expiration are needed to exchange Inhaled gas in Birds
Two

12 Year Old Warmblood Mare, 695 kg
History: Rolling in Stall, Watching Flank
Presenting Complaint: Colic
Physical Exam: Tachycardia, Dehydration, Abdominal Pain
What Preansthetic Medication should be used?

Xylazine
*Alpha 2 Agonists must be used in these Cases!!
In Patients with Diabetes Mellitus, Severe Hypoglycemia can lead to ____ that is not apparent until after Anesthesia
Brain Damage
Inspiration and Expiration are BOTH ACTIVE processes in which Species?
Reptiles

Review of this Chart:
On Gas Anesthesia, The Cerebral Blood Flow increases even Higher in Response to Increased PaCO2. You’re not going to need as High of Levels of PaCO2 to Increase Cerebral Bloow Flow
Even with Normal Ventilation PaCO2 (40mmHg), Cerebral Blood Flow is going to Increase Significantly under Inhalant
We are going to Midly Hyperventilate patients with CNS Disease under Inhalant Anesthesia, because with Inhalants normal Levels of CO2 will still Increase Intracranial Pressure

For Anesthetic Managment in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus your goal is to Prevent ______ at all times, prevent Prolonged Hyperglycemia and Maintain a Normal Fluid and Electrolyte Balance
Hypoglycemia

Crocodiles have _______ (Dive Response) where Blood Bypasses the Lungs
Right-Left Shunting
*How do you get them to sleep if Inhalants will Bypass the Lungs? We don’t use Inhalants exclusively in Crocodiles because if they shunt they will wake up
Preanesthetic Medication used on this Patient

Morphine

In Patients with Insulinomas, prior to Surgery they have MInimal Fasting (4-6 Hours) and the goal is to maintain a Blood Glucose above ____ mg/dL during Surgery
40

In Pregnant Patients under Anesthesia the Cardiac Ouput _____ by 30-50%
Increases
*Cardiac Output increases to meet the Oxygen Demands of the Fetus
Three Antagonists used to reverse the High Potency Opioids
Naltrexone (Preferred)
Naloxone
Diprenorphine- Etorphine Reversal
*Naltrexone has a long duration of action and prevents lRenarcotization
Reptiles Rely on External or Environmental Heat Sources for Thermoregulation. It is Crucial to maintain each species at Optimum Preferred Temperature between _____
25-35 Degrees Celsius
(77-95 Degrees Farenheit)
During Anesthesia in Hyperthyroid Patients, _____ are used to Slow Heart Rate and Decrease Myocardial Oxygen Consumption
Opioids
_____ Lung is Vestigial in Snakes
Left
*Vestigial- degenerate, rudimentary, or atrophied, having become functionless in the course of evolution.

If a Wildlife patient receives a Dart Injury, such as a Hematoma, the wound should be clipped, scrubbed, and flushed and long-term _____ administered
Antibiotic (Ex. Penicillin)
Best Preanesthetic Medication for Patients with CNS Disease
Benzodiazepenes + Opioids
*Anticonvulsant Activity and Minimal Cardiovascular effects
Wait to give Opioids until Ventilation is Controlled!! Opioids lead to Hypoventilation and Increased PaCO2 that can Increase Intracranial Pressure- Wait to give Opioids until the patient is on a Ventilator
