https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/clinical-discussions/13917/endoscope-anaestheticsHi I just wondered how everyone does with these anaesthetics. Whenever I do them they are usually awful anaesthetics and the animal will be awake and then the next few seconds they are nearly awake. Are there any tips I could use as I am really startingen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/116580?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 05 Jul 2011 19:58:41 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:3d45ee34-164f-4499-b818-7c0857c99bfanikki84<p>Never really had a massive issue to be honest and we do a fair amount of endoscospy.<br />Make sure your tube is a good fit or cuffed where possible.&nbsp; <br />Check that the vet has given adequate pain relief and has actually given it time to work also.&nbsp; <br />I do find that cats will always be more sensitive, especially when we use the bronchoscope and are just looking at the nasopharynx area.&nbsp; Maybe using a local anaesthetic spray like Intubeaze will help here?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/115291?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 13 Jun 2011 19:53:06 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:27526562-af1c-4d82-b38c-d5d0dea94ba9Fuzzyduck<p>I dont tend to find them that problematic, we do quite alot in my practice and normally they are pretty straight forward.</p> <p>When they are doing the endoscopy are they doing bronchoscopy when the animal wakes up? Sometimes they can be slightly more tricky if you dont have the right connector or you are using a large endoscope as the gases cannot pass down the ET tube to the patient or are leaking out round the connector.</p> <p>If its when they are scoping the stomach/intestines sometimes with the mouth open if the ET tube isnt cuffed well enough the gas can escape causing the patient to wake up.</p> <p>I cant think of any other reason why the patient would keep waking up</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
