keys to reducing anaesthetic stress in birds
|
pre-op housing
limit the number of times its handled prepare all materials before starting |
|
|
main risks of anaesthatising small birds
|
hypothermia
fluids post op feeding |
|
|
what is the replacement fluid rate of birds
|
10ml/kg for 2 hrs
then 5 mL/kg/hr |
|
|
what is the only contraindication of anaesthesia in sick birds
|
if their reserves are so low they will not survive anaesthetic
|
|
|
what is the main benefit of anaesthesia
|
allows access and full restraint without causing stress
|
|
|
protocol for preventing regurgitation
|
withholding food not recommended
- only need empty crop - 30 mins for small birds - 1 to 3 hours for large parrots - 4 to 8 hours for raptors and waterfowl |
|
|
inducing
|
mask induction for all but diving species
1-2 L/min of iso or sevo |
|
|
choosing an ET tube
|
uncuffed latex +/- stylet
aiming to completely fill the trachea |
|
|
which species should not be intubated?
|
blue and gold macaws
|
|
|
what indicates the use of an air sac tube
|
blue and gold macaw
work to be done around oral cavity concern about the ET tube becoming clogged - respiratory distress birds |
|
|
air sac tube technique
|
incision
- between last 2 ribs - just cr to thigh and cd to last rib use blunt force to pierce air sac - hemostat tip only need to close skin |
|
|
when is air sac tubing contraindicated
|
air sac disease
won't help pneumonia cases |
|
|
when should air sac tubing be considered carefully
|
any space occupying lesion of abdomen
- hepatomegaly - proventricular dialtion - eggs - tumor |
|
|
reflexes retained during anaesthesia
|
palpebral
corneal pedal |
|
|
ideal anaesthetic plane
|
loss of palpebral reflex
loss of pedal reflex corneal reflex reduced in speed |
|
|
recovery
|
keep ET tube until resented
hold the bird until it is able to perch - careful of hyperthermia risk of suffocating itself if left unattended |
|
|
post op monitoring
|
should be eating soon after
crop tubing recommended for small birds |
