Management for Animals
Topics
• Anesthetic drugs• Pre-anesthetic combinations• Monitoring anesthetic depth
Ketamine
• Dissociative: dissociate the thalamocortic and limbic systemscataleptoid state (eyes open, swallow reflex intact)
• Muscle rigidity• Decreases cardiac contractility• Increase peripheral vascular resistance
decreases cardiac output
Ketamine
• NMDA-antagonistic properties (blocks glutamate)
• Helpful with superficial pain, not useful for deep or chronic pain (poor visceral analgesia)
• Helps prevent sensitization (windup) of nociceptive pathways
Ketamine
• Rapid onset (~ 5 minutes)• Moderate DOA (1-2 hours)• Stimulate sympathetic tone increased HR and BP• Induce salivation and airway secretions• Pain upon IM injection (low pH)• Some dogs show emergence delirium
(uncoordinated movements of head/neck, voacalizations, salivation, agitation)
Ketamine Pre-anesthetic Dosage
• Dogs: 1-3 mg/kg IV, IM, SQ• Cats: 3-10 mg/kg IV, IM, SQ
Ketamine
• CRI dosage for intra-op pain:– 0.5 mg/kg IV bolus– 10 ug/kg/min CRI (lower doses for post-op)
• Apnea in some (but generally is NOT a respiratory depressant)
• Don’t administer with an anticholinergic• Associated with premature ventricular
depolarizations
Tiletamine
• Dissociative• More potent than ketamine (3X), longer DOA• Produces sedation, immobility, amnesia,
analgesia, muscle rigidity• (Zolazepam: similar to diazepam but is water
soluble and more potent; can cause prolonged recovery in cats)
Ketamine/valium andTiletamine/zolazepam
• Different neuroactive agents usedinduce anesthesia with the goal of achieving the highest quality of anesthesia with minimal side effects
• Ketamine/valium– Ketamine 5 mg/kg IV– Diazepam 0.25 mg/kg IV
• Tiletamine/zolazepam: (2-8 mg/kg IV, IM)– DOA: 20 min to one hour– Limited shelf-life after reconstitution– Induction: 1-3 mg/kg IV or 6-8 mg/kg IM
Telazol Difference in Dogs vs Cats
• Dogs: get a tiletamine hangover• Cats: get a zolazepam hangover
Ket/Val (or Telazol) vs Propofol
• Compared to propofol:– Less muscle relaxation– Increased salivation– Increased dysphoria
• Good cardiopulmonary support– HR, CO, BP well maintained
• Short duration
Propofol
• 2,6,-diisopropylphenol• Propofol: soybean oil, glycerol, egg
phosphatide • Propoflo-28: benzyl alcohol• White emulsion: shake thoroughly (don’t mix
with other drugs)• Metabolized by liver, extrahepatic sites of
metabolism
Propofol
• Induction dose: 4-8 mg/kg IV• Microdose under GA: 1-2 mg/kg IV• Titrate to effect• Duration of action: 10-20 minutes• Advantages: rapid induction of GA, rapid
metabolism, rapid emergence from GA, low incidence of nausea/vomiting
Propofol
• Disadvantages– Hypotension and cardiac depression– Respiratory depression– Pain on injection– Heinz body anemia in cats (repeated use)
Dexmedetomidine
• α-2 adrenergic agonist• Properties: sedative-hypnotic, analgesic, muscle
relaxation– Anxiolysis, calming
• Stimulate α2 receptors in braindecreased norepinephrine release
• Dose-dependent CV effects: vasoconstrictionhypertensionreflex bradycardia
Dexmedetomidine
• Dosage: dependent on patient and procedure– IM: 5 ug/kg– IV: 1-2 ug/kg
• Rapid onset (~ 5 minutes)• Moderate duration (~2 hours)• Atipamezole (reversal): – Give same volume as dexmedetomidine IM, SQ, IV
Hydromorphone and Morphine
• Pure mu opioids; excellent analgesics• Both drugs can cause excitement when used
alone, in young, healthy animals• Both drugs will slow heart rate (increased
vagal efferent activity) and cause respiratory depression
• Profound sparing effect with induction and maintenance agents
Hydromorphone vs Morphine• Hydromorphone:
– SQ route associated with vomiting & panting– Doses > 0.1 mg/kg may produce hyperthermia– DOA: 1-4 hours
• Morphine:– Can cause vomiting– Associated with histamine release– Excitement in cats– Metabolites excreted by the kidneys– DOA: 2-4 hours
• Pupil size: miosis and mydriasis– Miosis (dogs)– Mydriasis (cats)
Hydromorphone and Morphine
• Hydromorphone dosages (SQ, IM, IV)– SQ: 0.1 mg/kg (DOA: 1-4 hours)– IV: 0.05 mg/kg (DOA: 1-2 hours)
• Morphine (SQ, IM, IV)– IM: 0.2-0.6 mg/kg– IV: 0.1-0.5 mg/kg
• Naloxone (reversal) 1-10 ug/kg IV– Take 1 ml naloxone, dilute with 9ml saline, titrate 1
ml/min to effect
Pre-anesthetic Combinations
• Think about: – Procedure: surgical vs diagnostic vs other– Level of pain involved in procedure– Duration of procedure– Patient status– How much time do you have
Pre-anesthetic Combinations
• Opioid• +/- benzodiazepine• +/- α2- agonist• +/- phenothiazine• +/- anticholinergic
How to Monitor Anesthetic Depth
• No single parameter tells you how light/deep– Gather all information together (patient, normals,
disease states, drugs, procedure type and duration)
• Must know parameter normals in order to be able to identify abnormals– Temp, pulse, RR, BP– SBP > 140 mmHg = light– SBP < 80 mmHg = deep
How to Monitor Anesthetic Depth
• Interact with patient• Every 5 minutes, check palpebral reflex
(corneal reflex) and jaw tone; position of eye; check for signs of movement, muscle twitching, neck tone
• Maintain body temperature• Vaporizer setting for past 15 minutes = ?
