What may a tech use to wipe away blood from the periphery of a surgical site? -
ANSWER ✓ Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)
Why should hydrogen peroxide not be used on the action incision site? -
ANSWER ✓ It delays wound healing
The patient should swallow ___________________ before removing their ET
tube - ANSWER ✓ Twice
Procedure to follow if an animal starts to regurgitate under anesthesia: - ANSWER
✓ 1. Notify DVM
2. Immediately move patient so that their head is off the table and pointing to the
ground (gravity works in our favor)
3. May need to lavage oral cavity
Hypovolemia - ANSWER ✓ A decrease in the volume of circulating blood.
Should be corrected by a DVM (i.e. blood transfusion or IV fluids)
Hypothermia - ANSWER ✓ Decreased body temp. Should be corrected by
warming the patient. Ideally a warm water re-circulating blanket. Can use heating
pads with extreme caution. Should always be kept on low, with a towel between
the patient and the pad
Hypoventilation - ANSWER ✓ Decrease in ventilation. Can be corrected by
breathing for the patient, administering Doxapram (with DVM permission) or
turning down the vaporizer and allowing patient to breath O2
, Hypotension - ANSWER ✓ Decrease in blood pressure. Can be corrected by
increasing IV fluid rate, or turning down vaporizer
Hypoexmia - ANSWER ✓ Decrease in amount of O2 in peripheral blood. Can be
corrected by breathing fresh O2 for patient, or by turning down/off vaporizer
Procedure to follow if patient wakes up on surgery table: - ANSWER ✓ 1. Start at
the patient. Is the ET tube placed correctly?
2. Check the anesthetic machine. Is there liquid anesthetic in the vaporizer? Is the
percent too low?
Is there oxygen
flowing (check flow meter)?
Is the machine hooked up properly?
Procedure to follow if patient goes into cardiac arrest: - ANSWER ✓ 1. Alert
DVM
2. Check ABC's (airway breathing circulation)
3. Locate emergency drug box
4. If needed begin CPR. If ET tube is placed breath for the patient and have
someone perform chest compressions
5. If DVM requests, get epinephrine from the refrigerator and administer as
directed
Stage 1 of anesthesia - ANSWER ✓ Amnesia
Stage 2 of anesthesia - ANSWER ✓ Excitement or delirium
Stage 3 of anesthesia - ANSWER ✓ Anesthesia
Plane 1 of anesthesia - ANSWER ✓ Light anesthesia
Plane 2 of anesthesia - ANSWER ✓ Surgical anesthesia
Plane 3 of anesthesia - ANSWER ✓ Deep anesthesia
Plane 4 of anesthesia - ANSWER ✓ Overdosage
Plane 5 of anesthesia - ANSWER ✓ Terminal
,Anesthesia - ANSWER ✓ Loss of feeling or sensation
Premedication - ANSWER ✓ Drugs administered to the patient before general
anesthesia is induced
Anesthetic induction - ANSWER ✓ The process of bringing a patient from a state
of consciousness to general anesthesia usually by means of injectable anesthetic
drugs
Anesthetic maintenance - ANSWER ✓ The process used to keep patients under
general anesthesia until the procedure is over
Local anesthesia - ANSWER ✓ The loss of sensation in a localized body part or
region without the loss of consciousness
Analgesia - ANSWER ✓ A state without pain
Sedation - ANSWER ✓ A state of calm or drowsiness
Tranquilization - ANSWER ✓ A state of relaxation and reduction of anxiety
(muscles are so relaxed they don't work anymore)
Neuroleptanalgesia - ANSWER ✓ A state of profound sedation and analgesia
produced by giving simultaneous administration of an opioid and tranquilizer
Objectives of anesthesia: - ANSWER ✓ Produce a loss of sensation
Provide muscle relaxation
Provide analgesia
Alter consciousness
Balanced anesthesia - ANSWER ✓ The process of using multiple different drugs
that have complimentary effects (make it the best possible experience we can)
Steps of anesthesia: - ANSWER ✓ Patient evaluation and preparation
Equipment and supplies
Preanesthetic medication
Induction
Maintenance
, Recovery
When should a PE be performed by a DVM? - ANSWER ✓ Before administering
any drugs to the patient
Who is responsible for obtaining and recording a TPR, MM color, CRT,
mentation, and weight? - ANSWER ✓ LVT
ARA (anesthetic risk assessment) - ANSWER ✓ Information collected via the
physical exam and laboratory results will allow the DVM to formulate
ARA scale 1 - ANSWER ✓ Minimal risk, normal healthy patient undergoing an
elective procedure (spay, neuter, declaw)
ARA scale 2 - ANSWER ✓ Low risk, patient with mild systemic disease.
Neonatal, geriatric or obese patients. Patients with mild dehydration (procedures
such as lump removal; may be an elective procedure)
ARA scale 3 - ANSWER ✓ Moderate risk, patient with severe systemic disease
such as anemia, moderate dehydration, and compensated major organ disease
ARA scale 4 - ANSWER ✓ High risk, patient with severe systemmic disease that
is a constant threat to life (ruptured bladder, internal hemorrhage, pneumothorax
and pyometra)
ARA scale 5 - ANSWER ✓ Extreme risk, patient is moribund (on the way to
death) that is not expected to live without the operation (severe head trauma,
pulmonary embolus, GDV, and end-stage organ failure)
How are ET tubes placed? - ANSWER ✓ Inside the trachea of an unconscious
patient, attached to a breathing tube, and connected to the anesthetic machine
Benefits or ET tubes: - ANSWER ✓ Allows an open airway, prevents aspiration
of stomach contents and water and allows for manual ventilation if needed
(breathing for patient)
What is used to measure ET tubes? - ANSWER ✓ The internal diameter (ID)
