Q

Reasons for placing IV catheters

A
  • Should always be placed for any procedure, no matter how small! Allows forward administration of surgical fluids, rapid and easy administration of emergency drugs, administration of anesthetics that are irritating if given perivascular

27

28
Why do we use PA drugs
Sedate and calm the patient, preemptive analgesia, reduce amount of induction, maintenance and post op drugs, decreased salivary secretions, intestinal movement and prevent bradycardia, provides smooth recovery, Adjunct to local or regional to prevent movement
29
Five classifications of routine PA drugs
1. Anticholinergics- glycopyrrolate and atropine. 2. Tranquilizers- phenothiazines and benzodiazepines. 3. Sedatives (alpha-2)- xylazine and Medetomidine. 4. Opioids- morphine and Buprenorphine. 5. Neuroleptanalgesia- combo of sedatives or tranquilizer with an opioid
30
What three main effects do anticholinergics achieve
1. *Drying agent, dry secretions 2. *Block vagal tone, prevents drop in heart rate 3. Reduce gastric and intestinal motility
31
SLURED ❤ Affects of anticholinergics
S- decrease salivation, positive effect L- decrease Lacrimal secretions, negative affect must do the eyes U- Decreased contractions of bladder and ureter, not an issue R- Decreased respiratory secretions, negative affect causing thick mucus E- Mydriasis, not an issue D- Decrease G.I. motility, not an issue ❤- Increased heart rate, block vagal response
32
Unwanted reactions of anticholinergics
May cause initial bradycardia after IV administration, sinus tachycardia which increases O2 supply, first and second degree AV blocks, colic in horses
33
Indications for use of anticholinergics
Use with bradycardia, use with drugs that cause vagal stimulation, use if procedure will cause vagal stimulation
