Sally is about to premedicate a surgical patient with 0.011mg/kg of glycopyrrolate. What reason(s) do she and the veterinarian have for using this drug?

Increases heart rate
Dries secretions
Long duration of action
All of the above

Explanation

Answer: D. Glycopyrrolate is an anticholinergic that increases heart rate, dries secretions, and has a longer duration of action compared to atropine. These effects prevent anesthesia-induced bradycardia, facilitate visualization of arytenoids for intubation, and limit re-dosing in most routine and short surgical procedures.
