Anesthesia: Inhalant Test UPDATED
ACTUAL Exam Questions and
CORRECT Answers
Which inhalant anesthetic drug is mostly likely to cause cardiac arrhythmias in dogs? -
CORRECT ANSWER - Halothane
What inhalant anesthetic drug is biotransformed to the greater extent in the animal body? -
CORRECT ANSWER - Nitrous oxide
Use of nitrous oxide in anesthesia - CORRECT ANSWER - Decreases the amount of
inhalation anesthetic required
A disadvantage of breathing 50% nitrous oxide is that it - CORRECT ANSWER - Decreases
the arterial PaO2
Mask inductions are - CORRECT ANSWER - More appropriately used in calm dogs and cats
Halothane concentrations of 1% to 2% may produce any of the following except - CORRECT
ANSWER - Increased cardiac output
When comparing inhalation anesthetics, you should use the minimum alveolar concentration
(MAC) as a guide in assessing - CORRECT ANSWER - Potency of the agent
Which inhalant anesthetic is associated with the longest induction and recovery times? -
CORRECT ANSWER - Halothane
A half-tank of nitrous oxide gas has a pressure of - CORRECT ANSWER - 750 psi
