Xylazine can be reversed with 0.2-1.0 mg/kg yohimbine IV or IM, or 0.25-0.5 mg/kg atipamezole SQ, IV, or IP. Atropine is commonly classified as an anticholinergic or antiparasympathetic (parasympatholytic) drug. Veterinarians also use atropine eye drops for dogs and cats. To prevent hypothermia, provide supplemental heat during anesthetic procedures and recovery. h�b```b``}��������π ��@Q�%/y�1`슩WT5��f�p��b�%L��آ����Q� �A� m(f`�d�e�Ht�%waC{�gB���V��;��*��l�V�M0m�a`��i,�i�M�i���y�}�RL�g��f�6O�(f�*������4�-ȝ{* ��pU\CT��� Gas anesthesia machines: Facemasks and intubation require gas anesthesia machines with an oxygen source and a precision vaporizer.

4) Anticholinergic (atropine or glycopyrrolate) Anticholinergic drug used for the prevention or treatment of bradycardia in the perioperative period and in the emergency setting during cardiac resuscitation. Any animal receiving propofol should be intubated following administration. This provision allows animal to acclimate to the facility and reduces the chance of stress-induced disease, including anesthetic death.

Advanced Search | Structure Search. This can be a guide for how far the tube should be inserted upon intubation. When you're in a pinch, you may need to use your own medication to help your dog. Use with caution, as anesthetic dose is very close to the dose which causes apnea. Verify proper placement of the endotracheal tube by ausculting all lung fields for strong breath sounds.

Administering sedative drugs decreases excitement and causes relaxation to allow for placement of indwelling catheters (for IV drug and fluid administration) or allow for intubation (for inhalation anesthesia). Maintenance refers to drugs administered to keep animals unconscious and allow for surgical (or other) procedures to be performed. Rabbits should eat as soon as possible after an operation to help prevent ileus. 0000037520 00000 n
Parameters to monitor in an anesthetized rabbit include: During the immediate post-anesthetic period, remove food and water from the cage. Dose: 1-4% maintenanceComments: Using isoflurane as the sole agent of anesthesia induction may be associated with breath-holding and distress.

Ophthalmic ointments: For anesthetic events lasting more than five minutes and whenever facemasks are used, use an ophthalmic ointment (e.g., Paralube® or Lacrilube®) to prevent corneal drying and trauma. Induction via a facemask on a non-sedated animal can lead to distress and injury, and is strongly discouraged. 0000005054 00000 n

Endotracheal intubation: Inhalation anesthesia may be delivered by a facemask, laryngeal mask, or endotracheal tube. To prolong anesthesia, supplement with 1/3 dose of ketamine only. If no breath sounds are heard, back the tube out until sounds are heard in all lung fields. Atropine, a naturally occurring belladonna alkaloid, is a racemic mixture of equal parts of d- and l-hyoscyamine, whose activity is due almost entirely to the levo isomer of the drug.
