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.

Sharia in the City Negotiation and Construction of Moral Space
SHARIA IN THE CITY NEGOTIATION AND CONSTRUCTION OF MORAL SPACE BY SHARIF ISLAM DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Behrooz Ghamari-Tabrizi, Chair Associate Professor Zsuzsa Gille Associate Professor Junaid Rana Associate Professor Assata Zerai ABSTRACT This dissertation is primarily concerned with how sharia is practiced by Muslims from a variety of backgrounds in Chicago’s Devon Avenue and how they co-construct physical and moral spaces. More specifically, I am interested in how sharia as a divine, non- contingent moral and legal code is understood and analyzed in various contingent situations and everyday settings such as producing, distributing, marketing and consuming halal food products. Drawing on conversations with residents, employees, and customers who visit stores in Devon Avenue, as well as archival research, my aim is to demonstrate the various multifaceted understandings and implications of sharia for Muslims in the United States. I argue that the multifaceted interpretations and practices of sharia in the United States are connected with the rhythms and everyday practices of Chicago and beyond. These connections, rhythms, and practices are reflected and interpreted in the actions and comments of Muslims and non-Muslims alike. The goal here is not just to show that the religious (for instance, sharia) and the non- religious/secular (grocery stores, restaurants, farms) are intertwined but to what extent these seemingly separate and disparate domains and spaces may be concurrently called upon within the framework of Islam, sharia, and halal food. -

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.

ANIMAL PROTECTION WORK Animals, being the most vulnerable of our society, are regularly at the receiving end of endless cruelty and neglect in the hands of humans. It’s a shame considering that they undergo this plight in spite of giving unconditional love and loyalty to us. We receive cruelty complaints from both AP and Telangana. We identify, investigate, counsel and prosecute the offenders wherever necessary. Listed below are the highlights of some of the noteworthy cruelty prevention work by PFA Hyderabad this quarter: OPERATION KARUNA On the 4th of June, 87 camels that were being taken for slaughter were spotted by a PFA volunteer. They were made to walk all the way from Rajasthan to Bantwaram, over a distance of 1,372.4 km, with the motive of selling them off in the meat markets of Hyderabad. -
