Q

Pulmonary edema resorption depends on active Na and Cl transport. So what type of edema is more refractory to treatment and why ?

A

Non cardiogenic edema because the epithelial cells are injured and so active transport altered

20
Q

How is established the diagnosis of pulmonary lymphomatoid granulomatosis ? (To differentiate it of pulmonary lymphoma)

A

Only by biopsies

21
Q

Which sex and canine breed are predisposed to eosinophilic pneumonia ?

A

Young, females, Husky, Malamute, Rottweiler

22
Q

Which canine breeds are predisposed to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis ?

A

Westie and Staffordshire Bull Terrier

23
Q

Which canine breeds are predisposed to lung lobe torsion ?

A

Afghan hound and Pugs

24
Q

What is the definition of pulmonary hypertension?

A

A pulmonary arterial systolic pressure > 30mmHg (diastolic > 19mmHg)
According to the consensus highly probable hypertension >46mmHg

25
Q

What is the Bernoulli equation used to estimate the pulmonary arterial pressure ?

A

Pressure gradient = 4*(peak velocity)²

26
Q

What is the non dilated right atrial pressure ?

A

5mmHg

27
Q

What is the dilated right atrial pressure without right sided heart failure ?

A

10mmHg

28
Q

What is the dilated right atrial pressure with right sided heart failure ?

A

15mmHg

29
Q

In dyspneic dogs and cats, to what has been strongly associated paradoxical breathing ?

A

Pleural diseases

30
Q

Is pulmonary vascular scintigraphy more sensitive and specific in detecting and localising PTE than angiography?

A

Yes

31
Q

How can be sampled motile cilia for the diagnosis of primary ciliary dyskinesia?

A

Via nasal biopsy

32
Q

What SpO2 value is consistent with severe hypoxemia ?

A

<90%

33
Q

What value of PaO2 defines hypoxemia ?

A

<80mmHg

34
Q

What value defines an increase in A-a gradient ?

A

> 15mmHg

35
Q

What main troubles can provoke hypoxemia and increased A-a gradient ?

A

Ventilation/perfusion mismatch, right to left shunt and alveolar diffusion impairment

36
Q

What main troubles can provoke hypoxemia and normal A-a gradient ?

A

Low FiO2 and alveolar hypoventilation

37
Q

What is associated with cranial lung lobe herniation in dogs ?

A

Collapse of the intrathoracic trachea and of major bronchi

38
Q

Which type of drugs should not be used with theophylline ?

A

Fluoroquinolones due to secondary theophylline toxicosis

39
Q

What type of immune response is suspected in eosinophilic bronchopneumopathy in dogs ?

A

Th2 response

40
Q

True or false: Filaroides spp infections of the alveolar spaces and terminal bronchioles can result in superinfection in some immunosuppressed dogs

A

True

41
Q

True or false: Crenosoma vulpis can also provoke signs of the upper respiratory tract in dogs

A

True

42
Q

Why is non cardiogenic pulmonary edema more refractory to treatment ?

A

Because of the impairment of essential active NaCl transport of the epithelial cells

43
Q

What virus has been implicated as a cause of nasopharyngeal inflammatory polyp in cats ?

A

Calicivirus

44
Q

Which nerves innervate laryngeal muscles ?

A

The caudal laryngeal nerve (from the recurrent laryngeal nerve) innervates all but one innervated by the cranial laryngeal nerve

45
Q

Is temporary tracheostomy before surgery a negative prognostic factor in the dog ?

A

Yes
