25
Q

The soft palate which is extremely long in this species. The laryngeal aditus is held within the nasopharynx in the horse by the caudal pillars of the soft palate (palatopharyngeal arches). What are the consequences of this for the horse?

A

Obligate nasal breather

26
Q

The maxillary sinus is particularly extensive in this old animal- why does the maxillary sinus enlarge with time?

A

The reserve crowns embedded in the maxillary sinuses gradually move down as the cheek teeth wear down

27
Q

The approximate position of the fronto-maxillary opening is indicated. Which 2 sionus compartments intercommunicate via this opening:

A

Dorsofrontal and caudal maxillary sinuses

28
Q

What function has been assigned to the guttural pouches of the horse?

A

Thought to be involved in cooling the blood flowing to the brain via the internal carotid artery during excercise

29
Q

In the horse the paranasal sinuses intercommunicate with each other. What name is given to the opening which links the dorsal conchal/ frontal and caudal maxillary sinuses?

A

The frontomaxillary opening

30
Q

What name is given to the single opening through which all of the paranasal sinuses communicate with the nasal cavity in the horse?

A

The nasomaxillary opening

31
Q

Where precisely is this opening located in the nasal cavity?

A

In the middle meatus (i.e between the dorsal and ventral conchae)

32
Q

what are the clinical landmarks for drainage of the frontal sinus

A

rostral: transverse line half way between medial canthus of eye and nasoincisive notch
caudal: transverse line taken half way along zygomatic arch
dorsal: approx 2cm from the midline
ventral: dorsal to line from medial canthus of eye to nasoincisive notch

33
Q

what are the clinical landmarks for drainage of the maxillary sinus

A

rostral: line through infraorbital foramen
caudal: transverse line through middle of eye
dorsal: line from medial canthus of eye to infraorbital foramen
ventral: facial crest and just rostral to its end

position of nasolacrimal duct and infraorbital nerve limit surgical field

34
Q

why would you nasogastrically intubate a horse

A
  1. diagnostic (colicking horse have reflux)
  2. treatment: admin of fluid therapy to dehydrated animal
35
Q

how is a nasogastric tube passed in an equine

A
  1. Clinician stands in front of the horse or at its shoulder (if you are in front of the horse you are at greater risk from the horse striking with a foreleg). Handler should be at the shoulder holding the lead rope. They may also place a hand on the middle of the face to stop the horse raising its head. Some animals will not tolerate the procedure and may require twitching or sedation
  2. Mark the tube with the length of the horse’s head. Warm up the end of the tube so it’s more flexible and comfortable. Put one hand at the horse’s nostril and use the other to feed the tube in. Ensure the tube passes into ventral meatus put some downward pressure on it with your thumb. If hard structures are met or tube is difficult to pass it is probably not in ventral meatus (withdraw and redirect)
  3. slowly feed tube in until mark reaches the nostril, and you feel soft resistance, so that you know the tube is in the pharynx. The tube is more likely to pass into the trachea with the neck extended, and the oesophagus with it flexed, so put pressure on the face to push the horse’s nose towards its chest. Gentle pressure at the oesophageal opening will stimulate swallowing (twisting the tube 180 degrees can help), when this occurs gently advance the tube
  4. Palpation of the tube on the left side of the neck above the jugular (cannot be palpated if in trachea). Suction on the end of the tube (air and no resistance if in trachea – may also cough, negative pressure in oesophagus).If in correct location advance tube gently. Blowing down it inflates the oesophagus in front of the tube. When the stomach is reached there is a reduction in resistance, and borborygmi can be heard through the tube.
36
Q

what is an auriculopalbebral nerve block used for

A

The upper eyelid of the horse is strong. Even when sedated considerable force is needed to open the eye if the horse does not wish to open it. It is safer to paralyse the upper eyelid with this nerve block than force it open, particularly if the globe may be compromised by injury N.B. block does not provide analgesia/desensitisation

37
Q

what needle is used to perform auriculopalpebral nerve block

A

5/8” 25G needle, 2ml lidocaine

38
Q

how is a auriculopalpebral nerve block performed

A

The nerve can be palpated as it passes over the dorsal aspect of the zygomatic arch (above the supraorbital fossa), about halfway between the base of the ear and the lateral canthus of the eye. The needle is inserted subcutaneously so it is parallel to and overlying the nerve.

39
Q

what is the supraorbital nerve block used for

A

desensitizes the medial two thirds of upper eyelid

40
Q

what is needed for supraorbital nerve block

A

5/8” 25G needle

41
Q

how is supraorbital nerve block done

A

If working on the horse’s left eye, use the thumb and second finger of your right hand to grasp the supraorbital process. Your index finger will fall on or near the supraorbital foramen. Inject subcutaneously overlying the foramen.

42
Q

what is a lacrimal nerve block used for

A

desensitizes the lateral third of upper eyelid

43
Q

what is the zygomaticofacial nerve block used for

A

Desensitises lateral 3/4 of lower eyelid

The above 4 blocks make up a “ring block”

44
Q

what is a retrobulbar nerve block used for

A

Used for intraocular/corneal surgery and enucleation

45
Q

what are the sinuses exposed

A
  1. frontal sinus and dorsal conchal sinus
  2. caudal maxillary sinus
  3. rostral maxillary sinus
46
Q

which nerve block is this

A

auriculopalpebral nerve block

47
Q

what nerve block is this

A

supraorbital nerve block
