I II III IV Stage of anestesia plane 1 2 3 4 System affected Characteristic observed light medium deep Normal or constricted Acutely dilated dilated pupils 4- Ocular normal Diminishes, lost +++ absent Corneal reflex Diminishes, absent normal +++ + absent lacrimation Diminishes, absent normal +++ + absent Palpebral reflex normal variable central Eyeball position ++++ none nystagmus
Inhalation anesthetics Inhalation anesthetics are used widely for the anesthetic management of animals. They are unique among the anesthetic drugs because they are administered , and in large part removed from the body, via the lungs.
Components of anesthetic machine Oxygen source (cylinder or tank) Regulator Manometer Flowmeter Vaporizer Canister (soda lime, co2absorber) Reservior bag (4-5 time of tidal volume) Corrugated tubes
Breathing systems Rebreathing (closed) Chemical absorbant A. To and fro B. Circle system Non rebreathing (semiclosed) Mapleson systems A. Magill system B. Bain coaxial system C. Ayres T-piece
