When an animal is too light, you...

Apply PPV until breathing. Don't exceed 12mm on manometer.

If animal is too deep, you...

- turn off vaporiser



After turning off vaporiser, you

- check heart and O2

After checking heart and O2, you

- detach animal, block tube and open pop off valve

After detaching animal, blocking tube and opening pop off valve, you

- flush iso out of bag

After flushing the iso out of the bag, you

- close valve and half refill bag with O2

After closing the valve and half refilling bag with O2, you

- reattach animal and apply IPPV in 6 second intervals

After applying IPPV and seeing animal reflexes reappear, you

- turn iso back on and adjust pop off valve

Part that holds O2, and part that indicates pressure

Gas cylinder and pressure gauge

Part which allows anaesthetist to set O2 flow rate

Flow meter

Introduces pure O2 to circuit

Oxygen flush button

Converts liquid anaesthetic to gas and controls amount mixed

Vaporiser

Ensures unidirectional flow of gas in circle (rebreathing) system

Flutter valves

Connects to inspiratory and expiratory tubes of circle system

Y connector

Allows animal to breathe easier from reservoir of gas, and can be used to manually breathe for the animal

Reservoir bag

What is the minimum volume of a reservoir bag to be used for a patient

60ml/kg

Used only in rebreathing system, removes CO2 from expired gases

Soda lime + canister

When should soda lime be changed?

When half the canister has been consumed

When should a pop off valve be fully open?

When using a non-rebreathing system

When should a pop off valve be partially open?

When using a rebreathing system

When should a pop off valve be closed?

For leak tests and manual breathing

The scavenger system should attach to?

Pop off valve

What does the scavenger system do?

Collects expired gases

Measures pressure in system

Manometer

Advantage of rebreathing system

Warms and humidifies incoming air using previously expired air and exothermic reaction with soda lime

Disadvantages of rebreathing system

1. More dead space - bad for smaller animals


2. Excess weight and bulk of hoses


3. unidirectional valves cause some resistance in breathing

Animal size, valve position and flow rate of a rebreathing system

> 10kg, partially open, 50mL/kg

Animal size, valve position and flow rate of a non-rebreathing system

< 10kg, fully open, 300mL/kg

Why use IV fluids during anaesthesia?

Replace blood/fluid losses in surgery
Maintain normal blood pressure and circulating volume


Correct acid-base disorders


Flushes anaesthetic out of blood for quicker recovery after surgery

IV fluid rate under anaesthetic

10mL/Kg/hr

Calculation for ET tube size of normal conformation animal

Size= √(5×weight)

Estimate for tube size and length

Size: distance between nostrils. Length: measure to thoracic inlet
