What was observed during anesthesia of axis deer with either medetomidine-ketamine (MK) or thiafentanil-medetomidine-ketamine (TMK)?

a. MK had better inductions, resp function, and less metabolic disturbances
b. TMK had faster and smoother inductions without effects on respiration
c. MK had rough and unpredictable inductions with metabolic acidosis
d. TMK provided more muscle relaxation than MK
e. TMK was overall better than MK and recommended for this species
What was observed during anesthesia of axis deer with either medetomidine-ketamine (MK) or thiafentanil-medetomidine-ketamine (TMK)?
a. MK had better inductions, resp function, and less metabolic disturbances


Despite shorter mean induction times, animals anesthetized with TMK experienced unpredictable inductions, apnea, muscle rigidity, limb movement, and significant respiratory and metabolic lactic acidosis. MK resulted in smoother inductions, better respiratory function, and less adverse metabolic disturbances, and thus was considered superior to TMK for anesthesia in captive axis deer at the dosages tested.

Which of the following was observed in deers immobilized in c lover traps versus ground-darting?

a. trapped deer were more hypoxemic
b. darted deer had higher temperatures
c. trapped deer had lower heart rates
d. darted deer had higher creatinine
e. trapped deer had higher lactate
Which of the following was observed in deers immobilized in c lover traps versus ground-darting?

e. trapped deer had higher lactate

Trapped
-higher lactae, HR, temp., creatinine
-lower pH, base excess

Darted
-more hypoxemic

white-tailed deer immobilized by hand-injection in Clover traps experienced more severe physiologic perturbations than deer remotely injected by dart after ground-stalking. These perturbations might be sufficient to cause myocardial damage.
