anesthesia in veterinary medicine refers to a controlled and reversible state of _____________
or _______________, achieved through the administration of specific drugs and techniques.
unconsciousness
insensibility to pain
what are the primary goals of veterinary anesthesia?
systemic/local analgesia - address pain
sedation - address anxiety and stress
unconsciousness - in the case of necessary surgical repair
blood pressure support - if infected/septic and consequent cardiovascular instability
ventilatory support - in the case of impaired thoracic expansion

T/F: anesthesia is a continuum of care
true! encompasses many factors from premedication/sedation, induction of general anesthesia,
maintenance of anesthesia to recovery of anesthesia
what are the two broad types of anesthesia regarding physiologic effects?
local anesthesia
general anesthesia
what are the steps involved regarding anesthesia from beginning to end of a patient undergoing
general anesthesia for elective/emergency surgery?
1. machine/equipment check
2. physical exam of patient - note any abnormalities that may lead you to change your standard
drug protocol
3. premedication/catheter placement
4. induction of anesthesia + orotracheal intubation
5. anesthesia maintenance and monitoring
6. extubation/recovery period for patient
, why is a preoperative patient health assessment important in the context of anesthesia?
important to identify any potential preanesthetic risks
to identify key management strategies
to instruct/advise clients prior to procedure
the american society of anesthesiologists (ASA) score is predictive of what three factors
regarding patient prognosis?
anesthesia risk
morbidity
mortality
note: the ASA score allows clinicians to associate the health status of the animal with potential
risk/morbidity
what are the 5 stages of ASA grading regarding physical status of a patient undergoing
anesthesia?
I - healthy patient
II - patient with mild systemic disease: disease process that is controlled, stable and the patient
is exercise-tolerance (i.e. obesity, pregnancy, heart murmur, well-controlled diabetes)
