In your own words and in 60 seconds or less, look at your camera and answer the following question: “When you were doing research this year, how did you two of our frameworks—CRAAP and the Standards of Thought—to help you decide whether a source was worth including in your research?

A 9-year-old, male neutered Domestic Short-haired cat presents straining to urinate with a bladder obstruction. The cat was sedated with butorphanol 0.3 mg/kg and midazolam 0.25 mg/kg IV and a sacrococcygeal epidural was performed with 1 mg/kg lidocaine prior to unblocking with a tomcat catheter. What is the term used to describe this epidural anesthetic technique?

A 15-year-old, female spayed Domestic Long-haired cat having general anesthesia for intestinal biopsies due to a chronic history of vomiting, diarrhea, and weight loss (BCS 2/9) is assigned an ASA status of 3. The owner expresses concern about the anesthesia especially because their dog recently presented in septic shock and barely survived surgery for a ruptured kidney abscess. How would the anesthetic risk for this cat compare to their dog based on the physical status?

Which of the following options would be the most appropriate anesthetic induction technique for an otherwise healthy female English Bulldog presenting for cesarean section and OHE due to dystocia? The puppies are confirmed to be alive with normal heart rates on ultrasound evaluation and the owner wants to keep them. The patient is calm and allows an intravenous catheter to be placed without the need for prior sedation.

Post-operative complications can be alarming to clients. One of the most common postoperative complications is seroma formation. Which of the following is accurate regarding seromas?

Uumpalumpa, a FS 4 mo Cattle Dog mix, is recovering from abdominal surgery for an elective spay. She is wearing a cone and staying in the kennel when unattended at home. She was dispensed 5 days of NSAIDS post-operatively. Post-operative healing can look very different. The owner stops by the clinic 3 days later concerned about her pup’s incision, and your tech brings you this picture from the front lobby. What are your initial impressions and thought pattern?

Millie, an 8-week-old, female intact, Beagle dog, presents for right femoral fracture repair under general anesthesia. She is painful, depressed, tachycardic, and has pale mucous membranes. The leg is very swollen with a large hematoma and Millie’s packed cell volume is 25% (normal 35-50%) and total plasma proteins 4.6 g/dL (normal 5.5-8 g/dL). Which of the following drug combinations would be the most appropriate premedication for this patient?

Frank had been anesthetized twice in the past for minor procedures, once with isoflurane and once with sevoflurane. In reviewing both anesthesia records, the anesthetic requirement during most of the procedure, as indicated by the vaporizer setting, appears to have been greater for sevoflurane (2.5%) than isoflurane (1.5%). What is the most likely explanation for this observation?
