The OOH practice I work in once a month has a Humphrey ADE circuit. How do you calculate the fresh gas flow for this please?

A question.......... who uses Sevo and who goes below 2l/min?

[/quote]

I was talking to our anaesthetist at work the other day and said that there ain't much difference between iso and sevo and its pretty pointless using it in small animal practice

[/quote]

LOL sounds like Matt thru and thru!!!!

Ah i see - we dont have fentanyl think our hvn was looking into it recently tho

Re: oxygen flow rates!!!

Nick Shackleton — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 17:23:08 GMT

We use methadone routinely for premedication followed by top ups every 4hrs. We also have ketamine and fentanyl on hand for CRI if required. We are in the process of getting Nitrous, just doing the risk assessments and all that jazz

Re: oxygen flow rates!!!

dinkyd — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 17:20:50 GMT

Hehe - Ours are just maintained with 02+iso and nitrous have to say tho do find on occasions we do have to top up their morphine.

Nick Shackleton — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 17:16:56 GMT

think its the latter to be honest Dink!

Re: oxygen flow rates!!!

dinkyd — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 17:15:59 GMT

Really Nick - thats interesting - is that your surgeons choice or has your anaesthetist had his input for that?

Ours dont but i dont know the reasoning behind that.

Re: oxygen flow rates!!!

Nick Shackleton — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 17:04:13 GMT

Nearly all our hind limb surgery patients get an epidural or siatic and femoral nerve block! I really enjoy anaesthesia too Dink, so much info rushing round my head

dinkyd — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 17:00:57 GMT

Must be fab to have an aneasthetist on hand - i love anaesthesia - in my previous job one of our vets is friends with an anaesthetist from GUVS and he did occasional weekend locum work/on call was so great being able to quiz him on things and he also corrected us on a few bad habits lol!

Its not good getting machines without training your staff that's when mistakes are made etc...

have a look at this website. Maybe get your practice to buy the above book its great for nurses doing anaesthesia. Anyother questions you wanna ask feel free

I would love to know more about capnography - we have a beautiful little machine from Burtons that does pulse ox, ecg, temp, capno and bp. The little man that came and set it up was from 'sales' and couldn't tell us a thing about inspired and expired co2. I have read as much as i can find in books but there is not a great deal around - thank you Nick for the info and I will try and read and find out some more- technology is great when you know how to use it!!

Laura Moss — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 15:23:19 GMT

are there any good books u can suggest? does anybody know of any good CPD for vet nurses?

Re: oxygen flow rates!!!

Nick Shackleton — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 15:05:23 GMT

well the books suggest the lowest circuit factor to use is 2.0 for a bain so without having capnography I would suggest 6litres (using a bain) obviously different circuits have different factors, so just look up the minimum factors for each circuit. have capnography means you can take your flow rates lower
