weight loss, muscle loss or general debilitation.

bluish discoloration of the skin or mucous membranes

yellowing pigment of the skin

pertaining to or affecting the body as a whole.

a compound that reversibly produces the loss of ability to perceive pain and/or other sensations.

A peculiar type of breathing pattern in which inspiration is followed by a prolonged pause and expiration is short.

the upper portion of the digestive tube, between the esophagus below and the mouth and nasal cavities.

The medical specialty concerned with pharmacologic, physiological and clinical basis of anesthesia and related fields.

A transient generalized muscular weakness

Loss of sensation resulting from depression of nerve function or from neurologic dysfunction

Irregularity of the heartbeat

One of the 2 subdivisions of the trachea serving to convey air to and from the lungs.

the inability to coordinate muscle activity during voluntary movements

Absence of gas from a part or the whole of the lungs, due to failure of expansion or resorption of gas from the alveoli.

shortness of the head,  is a group of conditions that cause resistance to airflow through the upper respiratory tract (nose, larynx) in short-nosed breeds of dogs.

one of the finer subdivisions of the bronchi, all less than 1mm in diameter, and having no cartilage in its wall

Thin walled saclike terminal dilations of the respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveolar sacs where gas exchange occurs.

Rhythmical or jerky oscillation of the eyeballs

A connective tissue characterized by it's nonvascularity and firm consistency; consists of chondrocytes, an interstitial matrix of fibers (collogen), and a ground substance.

removal of waste material from the body

Regional anesthesia produced by injection of local anesthetic solution into the peridural space

a leaf shaped plate of elastic cartilage, covered with mucous membrane, at the root of the tongue

high blood pressure

An abnormally low heart rate

the process whereby the undigested residue of food and the waste products of metabolism are eliminated

A loss of some types of sensation with persistance of others. A form of general anesthesia, but not necessarily complete unconsciosness

Low blood pressure

General anesthesia resulting from breathing of anesthetic gases or vapors.

A general term to topical, field block, or nerve block

The sum of the chemical and physical changes occuring in tissue

the part of the respiratory tract between the pharynx and the trachea, it consists of a framework of cartilage and elastic membranes housing the vocal folds

Superficial loss of sensation in conjuctiva, mucous membranes of skin, produced by direct application of local anesthetic solutions, ointments of gels

A compound of producing analesia without producing anesthesia or a loss of consciousness

The air tube extending from the larynx into the thorax where it bifurcates into the right and left main bronchi

An abnormally high heart rate

A neurologic of pharmacologic state in which painful stimuli are no longer painful.

A temporary absence of spontaneous breathing

a nonrebreathing circuit with corrugated tubing, but no reservoir bag or pressure releif valve. in which the fresh gas inlet is located near the patient and the wast gas exists away from the patient; Mapleson e circuit.

a nonrebreathing circuit with a reservoir bag and corrugated tubing in which the fresh gas inlet is located near the patient and the pressure relief valve is located away from the patient; Mapleson D circuit

Elevated carbon dioxide levels in the blood

A drug that induces sleep

Abnormally low body temp, in comparison to the norm for the age group. Neonates have lowre body temp than adults

Decreased ventilation; a respiratory problem that results in higher blood levels of carbon dioxide.

Low tissue oxygen levels

Constriction of the pupil of the eye

Dialation of the pupil of the eye

a breathing circuit in which exhaled gases are carried away from the patient in a scavenging system

The amount of hemoglobulin bound to oxygen at any given moment. This value is measured in percent, and it reflects the degree of oxygenation.

Abnormal accumulation of air in the space between the rib cage and lung. This abnormal air pocket compresses the lung and results in respiratory distress. The lung may collapse. May be caused by injury of lung tissue, rupture of air filled pulmonary cysts, or puncture of the chest wall.  

A breathing circuit in which exhaled gases are recirculated to the patient following removal of carbon dioxide.

• RMV
• The amount of air that moves in and out of the lungs in a minute; the tidal volume multiplied by the respiratory rate

rapid heart rate; the opposite of bradycardia

Fast, shallow breathing

The volume of a normal breath (~10 to 15ml/kg body weight)

Dilation of the blood vessels; the opposite of vasoconstriction
