Q

What are the treatments for bradycardia and bradyarrhythmias?

A

check monitored parameters and anaesthetic depth
remember alpha 2 agonsits associated bradycardia
beware of raised intracranial pressure as a cause

Q

How should we treat ventricular arrhythmias in anaesthesia?

A

tx if haemodynamically significant
assess pulse quality and rate
assess BP
spo2, mm colour, CRT

lidocaine first choice
followed by CRI

cats sensitive to lido tox. may start with b blocker instead

Q

How to tx underlying hypovolemia/hypotension in anaesthesia?

A

reduce depth of anaesthesia is possible
give IV fluids, bolus if necessary
inotropes/vasopressors

Q

What fluids do we give for over 25% blood volume loss?

A

17
Q

What is our first step when there is hypotension during anaesthesia whether it is mild or severe?

A

severe: turn off inhalant agent, consider opioid/ketmaine

mild: turn down inhalant agent, add opioid

18
Q

What is the inotrope we give to cats and dogs during anaesthesia?

A

dopamine

19
Q

What is the inotrope we give to horses duing anaesthesia?

A

dobutamines

20
Q

What are the vasopressors we can give to animals during anaesthesia?

A

noradrenaline
phenylephrine
epherdrine
vasopressin

21
Q

What is the effect of dopamine?

A

inotrope
arrhythmogenic

22
Q

What is the effect of dobutamine?

A

positive inotropic effect
mild chronotropic
less arrhythmogenic

23
Q

What is the effect of noradrenaline?

A

vasopressor
b1 and a1 adrenergic effecr
positive inotrope
increase CO and SVR
reduced liver muscle renal and skin perfusion

24
Q

What is the effect of phenylephrine?

A

vasopressor
a1 adrenergic effect
increase SVR
reduced splanchnic perfusion

25
Q

What is the effect of ephedrine?

A

vasopressor
stimulates endogenous noradrenaline release
a and b adrenergic effect
reduced splanchnic and renal perfusion
increased HR, MAO, CO

26
Q

WHat is the effect of vasopressin

A

potent vasopressor on V receptors
increased SVR
reduced splanchnic perfusion

27
Q

What can cause hypercapnia/hypercarbia?

A

hypoventilation
rebreathing of exhaled gas
increased BMR

28
Q

What can cause hypoxaemia and hypoxia?

A

decreased FiO2
hypoventilation
v/q mismatch
CV depression
diffusion barrier
anaemia
increased O2 demand

29
Q

How can we help in cases of hypoxaemia and hypercapnia during anaesthesia?

A

check anaesthetic depth
check airway
increase FiO2 if possible
ensure no rebreathing of CO2
ventilate
consider PEEP
