    Current Fluid Therapy Topics and Recommendations During Anesthetic Procedures Andrew Claude, DVM, DACVAA Mississippi State University Mississippi State, MS • Intravenous fluid administration is recommended during general anesthesia, even during short procedures. • The traditional IV fluid rate of 10 mls/kg/hr during general anesthesia is under review. • Knowledge of a variety of IV fluids, and their applications, is essential when choosing anesthetic protocols for different medical procedures. Anesthetic drug effects on the cardiovascular system • Almost all anesthetic drugs have the potential to adversely affect the cardiovascular system. • General anesthetic vapors (isoflurane, sevoflurane) cause a dose-dependent, peripheral vasodilation. • Alpha-2 agonists initially cause peripheral hypertension with reflex bradycardia leading to a dose-dependent decreased patient cardiac index. As the drug effects wane, centrally mediated bradycardia and hypotension are common side effects. • Phenothiazine (acepromazine) tranquilizers are central dopamine and peripheral alpha receptor antagonists. This family of drugs produces dose-dependent sedation and peripheral vasodilation (hypotension). • Dissociative NMDA antagonists (ketamine, tiletamine) increase sympathetic tone soon after administration. When dissociative NMDA antagonists are used as induction agents in patients with sympathetic exhaustion or decreased cardiac reserve (morbidly ill patients), these drugs could further depress myocardial contractility. • Propofol can depress both myocardial contractility and vascular tone resulting in marked hypotension. Propofol’s negative effects on the cardiovascular system can be especially problematic in ill patients. • Potent mu agonist opioids can enhance vagally induced bradycardia. Why is IV fluid therapy important during general anesthesia? • Cardiac output (CO) equals heart rate (HR) X stroke volume (SV); IV fluids help maintain adequate fluid volume, preload, and sufficient cardiac output.

  • Pharmacology – Inhalant Anesthetics
    Pharmacology- Inhalant Anesthetics Lyon Lee DVM PhD DACVA Introduction • Maintenance of general anesthesia is primarily carried out using inhalation anesthetics, although intravenous anesthetics may be used for short procedures. • Inhalation anesthetics provide quicker changes of anesthetic depth than injectable anesthetics, and reversal of central nervous depression is more readily achieved, explaining for its popularity in prolonged anesthesia (less risk of overdosing, less accumulation and quicker recovery) (see table 1) Table 1. Comparison of inhalant and injectable anesthetics Inhalant Technique Injectable Technique Expensive Equipment Cheap (needles, syringes) Patent Airway and high O2 Not necessarily Better control of anesthetic depth Once given, suffer the consequences Ease of elimination (ventilation) Only through metabolism & Excretion Pollution No • Commonly administered inhalant anesthetics include volatile liquids such as isoflurane, halothane, sevoflurane and desflurane, and inorganic gas, nitrous oxide (N2O). Except N2O, these volatile anesthetics are chemically ‘halogenated hydrocarbons’ and all are closely related. • Physical characteristics of volatile anesthetics govern their clinical effects and practicality associated with their use.

    A-PDF Merger DEMO : Purchase from www.A-PDF.com to remove the watermark STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES FOR STERILIZATION OF STRAY DOGS UNDER THE ANIMAL BIRTH CONTROL PROGRAMME Compiled by Animal Welfare Board of India Animal Birth Control (ABC) & Anti-Rabies Programme is being implemented in almost all major metros of India Over 1 lakh stray dogs are sterilized & vaccinated against rabies every year under the Animal Birth Control (2001) Dog Rules The Animal Birth Control Programme is currently being implemented in over 60 cities all over India, including major metros like Delhi, Jaipur, Chennai, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Jodhpur and Kalimpoong. In Tamil Nadu & Goa, since 2007, the Animal Birth Control and Anti-Rabies Vaccination Programme has been successfully implemented for the entire state. This has led to Tamil Nadu state pioneering a new concept of a Participatory Model of the ABC Programme in 50 Municipalities and 5 Municipal Corporations, with 50% cost sharing by local bodies on participatory basis. Similarly, the Union Territory of Delhi too has adopted the Participatory Model of the ABC Programme since 2008. Tamil Nadu has also been at the forefront of rabies control initiatives, having constituted the country’s first State level Coordination Committee on Rabies Control and Prevention in January, 2009, with the first meeting held on April 20th, 2009. The Animal Welfare Board of India is promoting such initiatives throughout the country. In all Metros, where the ABC Programme has been successfully implemented in India, a significant reduction in the number of human rabies cases has been noted. The Animal Birth Control Programme is the only scientifically proven method to reduce the stray dog population in a city or town.

  • 2020 AAHA Anesthesia and Monitoring Guidelines for Dogs and Cats*
    VETERINARY PRACTICE GUIDELINES 2020 AAHA Anesthesia and Monitoring Guidelines for Dogs and Cats* Tamara Grubb, DVM, PhD, DACVAAy, Jennifer Sager, BS, CVT, VTS (Anesthesia/Analgesia, ECC)y, James S. Gaynor, DVM, MS, DACVAA, DAIPM, CVA, CVPP, Elizabeth Montgomery, DVM, MPH, Judith A. Parker, DVM, DABVP, Heidi Shafford, DVM, PhD, DACVAA, Caitlin Tearney, DVM, DACVAA ABSTRACT Risk for complications and even death is inherent to anesthesia. However, the use of guidelines, checklists, and training can decrease the risk of anesthesia-related adverse events. These tools should be used not only during the time the patient is unconscious but also before and after this phase. The framework for safe anesthesia delivered as a continuum of care from home to hospital and back to home is presented in these guidelines. The critical importance of client commu- nication and staff training have been highlighted. The role of perioperative analgesia, anxiolytics, and proper handling of fractious/fearful/aggressive patients as components of anesthetic safety are stressed. Anesthesia equipment selection and care is detailed. The objective of these guidelines is to make the anesthesia period as safe as possible for dogs and cats while providing a practical framework for delivering anesthesia care. To meet this goal, tables, algorithms, figures, and “tip” boxes with critical information are included in the manuscript and an in-depth online resource center is available at aaha.org/anesthesia.

White, DVM; Edited by Joan E. Dempsey, MFA INTRODUCTION As a recent ad campaign for inhalant anesthesia stated, “There’s a lot more to good anesthesia than simply life and death or waking from the event (1).” In other words, the fact that an animal makes it through surgery is no longer a good criterion by which to measure adequacy in our choices of anesthetic drugs, monitoring or stabilization. We understand now that what we have done or failed to do pre-, intra- or postoperatively has sometimes caused animals to succumb to perioperative disease within weeks or months of the surgery. Our historical presumptions of successful anesthesia, indicated by animals that appear stable under anesthesia or wake up quickly or well, are no longer adequate. Why is this so? The answer is relatively simple. Despite all our advancements within the fields of both human and veterinary anesthesiology, and regardless of whether we use simple mask inhalants or potent premeds such as Xylazine, anesthesia remains a profound cardiorespiratory depressant event which is capable of causing disease and death.

Van de Wetering, DVM, FAVD ABSTRACT The 2019 AAHA Dental Care Guidelines for Dogs and Cats outline a comprehensive approach to support companion animal practices in improving the oral health and often, the quality of life of their canine and feline patients. The guidelines are an update of the 2013 AAHA Dental Care Guidelines for Dogs and Cats. A photographically illustrated, 12-step protocol describes the essential steps in an oral health assessment, dental cleaning, and periodontal therapy. Recommendations are given for general anesthesia, pain management, facilities, and equipment necessary for safe and effective delivery of care. To promote the wellbeing of dogs and cats through decreasing the adverse effects and pain of periodontal disease, these guidelines emphasize the critical role of client education and effective, preventive oral healthcare.
