Questions and Answers

Ruminants don’t undergo general anesthesia as often as horses and small animals. They don’t require general anesthesia because of their calm nature

True

Produce excessive saliva, increasing the risk of aspiration during anesthesia.

  • Camelids (correct)
  • Ruminants (correct)
  • Swine
  • -

    • Physiological and Anatomical Differences

    Calm temperament often makes general anesthesia unnecessary; many procedures are performed with local anesthetics and physical restraint = Ruminants Thick neck skin makes intravenous catheter placement challenging. = Camelids Resistance to sedatives and lack of accessible veins make handling more difficult than with other species = Swine =

    PT PREP

    <p>Fast to avoid bloat, prepare IV catheters and anesthetic equipment = Ruminants Use jugular or cephalic veins for IV access; avoid hematoma formation during venipuncture = Camelids Focus more on the patient history for health assessment due to restraint difficulties = Swine 0 = 0</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Anesthetic protocols

    <p>Consider factors like patient physical status and procedure type = Ruminants May require sedation for aggressive individuals. Ventilation is usually easier to maintain compared to ruminants. = Camelids Use combinations like TKX (Telazol, ketamine, xylazine) for induction; monitor depth using muscle relaxation instead of eye reflexes. = Swine</p> <ul> <li>= -</li> </ul> Signup and view all the answers

    Intubation

    <p>Small animals will require visualization aids like a stylette and laryngoscope due to limited oral space. Blind intubation for adults = Ruminants Handle neck positioning carefully to avoid injury and manage airway obstruction risks = Camelids Intubation is particularly challenging due to unique laryngeal anatomy and the risk of laryngospasm = Swine</p> <ul> <li>= -</li> </ul> Signup and view all the answers

    Recovery

    <p>Typically smooth recovery; position in sternal recumbency to reduce aspiration risk and bloat = Ruminants Recovery includes maintaining head and neck in an upright position and treating any dyspnea promptly = Camelids Similar to small animals; monitoring is crucial to address complications like porcine stress syndrome = Swine</p> <ul> <li>= -</li> </ul> Signup and view all the answers
