Surgical Nursing
Reservoir bag - 60ml/kg
MAC - minimum alveolar concentration, measure anesthetic potency. 2x the MAC=deep
surgical anesthesia
Non-rebreathing system - <15 lbs
Rebreathing system - >15lbs
Pulse OX - >98%
ECG/HR - small dog:100-150bpm
Large dog: 60-100bpm
cat: 140-180bpm
CO2 - 35-45%
RR - 8-20rpm
Blood pressure - Systolic: at least 90
Mean: at least 70, no less than 50
Diasolic: no less than 40
E oxygen tank - 660L
H oxygen tank - 6900L
Oxygen tank when full - 2200 psi
passage of oxygen - L of oxygen in the tank is calculated by multiplying the pressure in
psi by 0.3.
Pressure reducing valve located near the tank pressure gauge, pressure is reduced to
40-50 psi
flow meter reduces pressure to 15psi
Endotracheal tube - Cat:3-4.5mm
Dog: 9.5-10mm
Absorbable suture - catgut(chromic 10-15days)
Polyglycolic acid(PGA/Dexon) 2-3 weeks
