1.
anesthesia that achieves the goals of GA by administration of multiple drugs concurrently in smaller quantities
2.
any drug used to induce the loss of sensation with or without the loss of consciousness
3.
not a true agent, used during anesthesia to produce other desired effects
4.
medications used during this time are usually to calm and/or sedate
5.
induced by simultaneous administration of an opioid and a tranquilizer/sedative
6.
the process of an animal losing consciousness and entering the plane of surgical anesthesia (stage 3)
7.
phase marked by incoordination and struggling followed by progressive relaxation and unconsciousness
8.
administering the anesthetic agent to the necessary effect
9.
the number of ET tube sizes to choose
10.
the measurement of the tip of the nose to the thoracic inlet for an ET tube
11.
ET tube: largest possible but not to tight
12.
reflex closure of the glottis in response to contact with any object or substance (most commonly seen in cats)
13.
a measurement of an inhaled agents tendency to evaporate
14.
Blood-Gas _______ the solubility of the agent (ratio between the blood and alveoli)
15.
the minimum concentration at which 50% of anesthetized patients do not respond to stimulation
16.
the primary carrier gas used in all anesthetic machines
17.
function is to collect waste gas from the machine/circuit and conduct it for disposal (can be passive or active
18.
indicators are HR, heart rhythm, blood pressure, and CRT
20.
absence of recognizable complexes with undulating baseline
21.
cessation of heart contractions or pulses despite the presence of electrical activity
22.
complexes may appear normal or abnormal but HR is typically very high compared to normal
23.
pressure in the arteries during ventricular contraction
24.
pressure remaining during resting phase
25.
average pressure during the cardiac cycle
26.
doppler needs a cuff attached to a _________
28.
measures SAP, DAP, and MAP
29.
indicators are mucous membrane colour, pulse oximetery, and blood gas analysis
30.
measures the percentage of hemoglobin saturated with oxygen (spO2)
31.
indicators are respiratory rate, tidal volume, respiratory character, and capnography
32.
partially collapsed alveoli due to shallower breaths
33.
effort, length of inhalation and exhalation, and regularity
34.
measures the amount of CO2 in the air that is breathed in and out by the patient (etCO2 and inCO2)
