Steps for placing a cerclage wire for a mandibular symphyseal fracture

A

The hypodermic needle is placed in a ventrodorsal direction. The hypodermic needle is passed on the lateral side of the mandible. The wire is passed through the needle in a dorsoventral direction. The wire is passed caudal to the visible portion of the lower canine teeth. The wire twist is located ventral to the mandibular symphysis.

Q

The location where the distal end (i.e. the end that is inside the esophagus) of the esophagostomy tube should be when you complete the procedure

A

Measure the tube so that it will end up in the mid-thoracic region. You do not want it to sit close to or in the gastroesophageal sphincter where it can stimulate reflux. The esophagus is fairly dorsal, so your selection should be in the dorsal 1/3 of the thorax.

Q

TRUE or FALSE: Prior to thoracocentesis, the pneumothorax compromised Tardis’s respiration in part by making the pressure in the thoracic cavity more positive than normal.

A

true

32
Q

Name two arteries associated with the chest wall that you need to avoid when performing thoracocentesis. For each artery, describe its location and how you will minimize the risk of damaging it during thoracocentesis.

A

(1) Intercostal artery - located immediately caudal to rib; avoid it by placing needle in the middle to caudal portion of the intercostal space.

(2) Internal thoracic artery - runs parallel to the sternum between the sternum and costochondral junction; avoid it by inserting needle dorsal to the costochondral junction.

33
Q

explain (1) the situation that must exist to create a tension pneumothorax and (2) why a tension pneumothorax is usually more severely/rapidly life threatening than a non-tension pneumothorax.

A

(1) To get a tension pneumothorax, the hole through which air is entering thorax has formed in such a way that it acts as a one-way valve. Air can enter but cannot exit the thoracic cavity through this hole. (Note- this hole can be in chest wall or it can be in lung or intra-thoracic trachea/bronchi).

(2) Because air cannot escape the thoracic cavity, intrathoracic pressure builds and builds to the point where the chest is fully expanded and the animal can no longer effectively move the chest wall to ventilate the lungs. This ever-increasing pressure also decreases pre-load and limits cardiac filling, decreasing cardiac output and blood pressure. Tension pneumothorax can be rapidly fatal.

In both tension and non-tension pneumothorax, the intrapleural pressure is more positive than normal due to presence of air. However, unlike tension pneumothorax in which the intrapleural pressure is ever-increasing, this pressure is relatively stable in non-tension pneumothorax because either (a) the hole through which air entered has sealed or (b) the hole is still open and air can move both in and out of the thoracic cavity (thus intrathoracic pressure equilibrates with atmospheric pressure).

Emergency treatment for tension pneumothorax - perform continuous thoracocentesis until a chest tube can be placed (ASAP) and hooked up to a continuous suction device that pulls air out of the thoracic cavity faster than it is moving into the thoracic cavity.

Most cases of traumatic pneumothorax, whether tension or not, respond to medical management (removing air via thoracocentesis or chest tube, as appropriate) and do not need surgery. Typically treatment starts with thoracocentesis, but if pneumothorax recurs more than 1-2 more times, or if tension pneumothorax is present, a chest tube is placed for intermittent or continuous aspiration of air (as appropriate).

34
Q

Other than a dressing or bandage, list 2 separate steps you will take when placing the tube to help prevent room air from tracking along the outside of the tube into the chest and worsening the pneumothorax.

A

(1) Tunnel the tube through the SQ so that the entry into the skin is not directly over the entry into the chest. (2) Place pursestring suture in skin around entry site of tube. (3) Do not make incision any bigger than the diameter of the tube.

(Note: Promptly closing the bulldog clamp is important to prevent worsening of pneumothorax due to air entry through the tube, but does not affect air tracking in along outside of tube)

35
Q

Flail chest occurs when there are at least 1 fractures in each rib of the flail segment. The flail segment moves 2 on inspiration and 3 on expiration. To increase comfort and improve ventilation, lay the animal down on the 4 side of the thorax as the flail segment.

A
  1. 2
  2. medial
  3. lateral
  4. ipsilateral
36
Q

true or false: rib fractures will need to be surgically repaired in order to protect the lungs from repeated injury by the fractured bones.

A

false.
It is uncommon to need to surgically address fractured ribs. In most cases the rib fragments are still stabilized by muscle/pleura attachments so that when the chest expands, the fractured rib moves outward too. While the expanding lung may contact the broken end of the rib, the simultaneous outward movement of the rib fragment and the relative pliability of the lung decrease the risk that the lung will be impaled on the rib during breathing. Perforation of the lung by a fractured rib is more likely to occur at the time of injury when the forces are greatest than during post-trauma breathing.

46
Q

47
Q

What causes the palpable (and sometimes audible) pop when performing an Ortolani maneuver in a dog with hip laxity?

A

As we put proximal force into the lax hip, it results in subluxation (dorsally). As we abduct the limb, this subluxation is forced to reduce and the head of the femur falls back into the acetabulum, resulting in a palpable and sometimes audible pop .

48
Q

The cranial cruciate ligament originates on the 1 surface of the -2 femoral condyle and runs distally and diagonally to insert on the 3 portion of the intercondylar area of the tibia.

  1. Caudomedial
  2. lateral
  3. craniomedial
  4. cranial
  5. internal
49

50
Q

Q

Trace the blood flow from the descending aorta at the level of the diaphragm to the transverse colon and back again to your starting place in the descending aorta.- with a PDA and PSS

A

descending aorta - caudal mesenteric artery - transverse colon - caudal mesenteric vein - portal vein - gastroduodenal vein - left gastric vein - PSS - azygos vein - cranial vena cava - right atrium - right ventricle - pulmonary artery - PDA - descending aorta

Notes:
(1) The azygos vein can empty into the cranial vena cava (and then the right atrium) or the right atrium directly; either is acceptable answer.
(2) The caudal mesenteric vein can empty into the cranial mesenteric vein (and then the portal vein) or the portal vein directly; either is acceptable answer.
(3) The pink oral MM and cyanotic vulvar membranes are consistent with a right to left PDA. This reversal of flow is secondary to the pulmonary hypertension that develops over time as a left to right PDA keeps directing excess blood volume into the lungs. Eventually, the pulmonary vascular pressure exceeds the pressure in the systemic circulation, and flow through the PDA reverses direction.
