resp surgery Flashcards
BOAS C/S, dx
stenotic nares, elongated soft palate, everted saccules, hypoplastic trachea
C/S- resp noise, stenotic nares, collapse
dx- scope, CT
BOAS management
weight management
avoid overheating
rhinoplasty, open turbinates, shorten soft palate, partial tonsillectomy, sacculectomy
laryngeal paralysis signalment, C/S, dx
older lg breed dogs, idiopathic acquired (GOLPP)
crcioarytenoidius dorsalis fails to abduct
C/S- exercise intolerance, laryngeal stridor, dyspnea, regurg, voice change
dx- rads, scope under light anesthesia
lar par management
cooling, oxygen therpy, sedation
emergency tracheostomy
avoid heat, weight loss
sx-> unilateral cricoarytenoid lateralization
tracheal collapse sx
stenting
spontaneous pneumothorax causes, C/S, dx, tx
bullae, neoplasia, chronic pneumonia, feline asthma, heartworm
C/S- decreased lung sounds, resp distress, paradoxical breathing pattern
dx- thorugh PE, rads when stable, CT for underlying cause
tx- chest tap, chest tube, pleurvac, blood patch, sx (remove bullae and stop air leakage)
pyothorax C/S, dx, tx
purulent fluid accumulation in pleural space
young animals, working
C/S- cough, dyspnea, lethargy, weight loss, anorexia, restrictive breathing, muffled breath sounds, sepsis
dx- chest tap +cytology
tx- drainage, abx (enro first then c+s) surgery for primary cause (median sternotomy)
diaphragmatic hernia causes, C/S, correction
trauma most common
C/S- resp distress, muffled heart/lung sounds
dx- rads, POCUS
tx- surgery in stable patient w ventilator, approach from abdomen
close dorsal to ventral, continuous pattern absorbable suture, s=chest tube
DH prognosis
survival after sx 80-90%, complications in 50%
PPDH
congenital gap in ventral diaphragm
muffled heart sounds
dx- rads, POCUS
tx- can close w celiotomy, good survival post sx
