What is pulse pressure? |
Difference between systolic and diastolic pressure. Doesn't give an accurate estimate of blood pressure
|
|
|
What is mucous membrane CRT an indicator of? |
Blood pressure, perfusion
Should be < 2 sec |

|
What are examples or direct and indirect measurement methods for blood pressure?
|
Direct: Arterial catheterization, transducer/amplifier, aneroid manometer
Indirect: Doppler |
|

What are normal ranges for systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressure for the pony and sheep?
|
Same ranges for both animals
Systolic: 95-120 mmHg Diastolic: 65-90 mmHg Mean: 75-100 mmHg |

|
How does pulse oximetry work? |
Utilizes red and infrared light to determine hemoglobin saturation.
Tongue is primary site to place the probe. |

What are normal respiration rates and volumes for ponies and sheep?
|
Ponies: 6-8 breaths/min, 8-12 ml/kg
Sheep: 25-40 breaths/min, 5-8 ml/kg |

|
What ocular reflexes can you use to monitor anesthesia?
|
Palpebral reflex - weak to absent in horses, not dependable in ruminants
Corneal reflex - not safe, use other ways of monitoring Nystagmus - Medial-lateral oscillations of the horses eye when depth is decreasing. Not dependable in other species. |
