Term
Increased inspiratory effort indicates:
Definition
Upper Resp problem
Term
Increased expiratory effort indicates:
Definition
Lower Resp problem
Term
Example of UR problem given in class:
Definition
"roars" (laryngeal paralysis)
Term
Example of LR problem given in class:
Definition
asthma, pulmonary edema
Term
What is pleural space disease?
Definition
fluid/air around lungs, or pleuritis
Term
Pleuritis sounds like...
Definition
sandpaper
Term
Symptoms of pleural space Dz:
Definition
-short, chopping breaths
-extended neck
-not lying down
-open mouth breathing (esp. cats)
Term
Symptoms of pulmonary edema:
Definition
-coughing
-labored breathing
-crackles/rales (rise krispies!)
Term
Dull lung sounds ventrally =
Definition
pleural effusion (because fluid pools ventrally)
Term
Dull lung sounds dorsally =
Definition
pneumothorax (because air goes dorsal, pushes lungs down)
Term
Harsh lung sounds =
Definition
lung contusions
Term
Crackles/rales =
Definition
pulmonary edema
Term
What two conditions are associated with distinctly located dull lung sounds? Where are those sounds heard?
Definition
pleural effusion = ventrally
pneumothorax = dorsally
Term
Oxygen level in the air:
Definition
28%
Term
Oxygen level offered by flow-by techniques:
Definition
40%
Term
Oxygen level offered by oxygen tents:
Definition
60%
Term
4 categories of supplemental oxygen:
Definition
flow-by
oxygen tent
oxygen cage
nasal catheter
Term
Advantages/Disadvantages of oxygen tube directed at nose/mouth:
Definition
+little restraint needed
+less stress to animal
+can monitor MM, CRT
-requires tech on pt at all times
Term
Describe face mask technique of O2 supp:
Definition
Get right size, remove rubber gasket

+heat/CO2 let off
+less restrictive to pt
-must remove to monitor CRT, MM
Term
Describe nasal prongs technique of O2 supp:
Definition
human prongs: adult, pediatric

-animal will hate it
Term
Describe zip-lock bag technique of O2 supp:
Definition
Cut off corner, close bottom a bit, O2 through bottom, use on passive/unconscious pts

+heat/CO2 out top hole
Term
Describe e-collar technique of O2 supp:
Definition
Leave 20% top open, cover rest with plastic wrap, make sure nose isn't pressing against plastic wrap

-can't easily assess MM/CRT
+CO2/heat out top
Term
Describe oxygen cage technique of O2 supp:
Definition
Can plastic wrap regular cage door, use on up/active animals

+less stress to animal
-uses lots of O2
-least able to monitor CRT, MM, temp, RR
-can ^temp, ^CO2
Term
Describe nasal catheter technique of O2 supp:
Definition
Red rubber feeding tube, ventral meatus (turbinate), measure from medial canthus to end of nose

+can suture in place
-can cause nasal jet lesions
-can cause hemorrhage
-must use flowmeter
Term
CIs for nasal catheter:
Definition
-head trauma because cath causes sneezing which increases pressure
-bleeding tendencies
Term
How to avoid nasal jet lesions:
Definition
-limited flow
-humidified O2
-fenestrate tube
Term
Sizing a nasal cath for O2 supp:
Definition
<20# 5 French
20-50# 8 French
>50# 10-12 French
Term
100% O2 can cause toxicity in ___.
Definition
12 hr
Term
80-90% O2 can cause toxicity in ___.
Definition
18 hr
