Q

Describe two situations where administration of ORAL hypertonic iodinated contrast could be fatal?

A

1) Shocky patients - if administered orally - will pull fluid into the intestinal tract - further dehydrating them
2) Where aspiration may occur - esophagrams, bronchoesophageal fistulas –> pulmonary edema

Q

What are the two categories of iodinated contrast media?What characteristics separate these groups?

A

Ionic and non-ionic.

Ionic: When in solution - dissociates into the negative iodinated anion, and positively charged cation (sodium) Dissociation = greater osmoliaity (2-3x that of non-ionic)

Non-ionic - do not dissociate in solution

Q

What are examples of idiosyncratic and non-idiosyncrati reactions?

A

Idiosyncratic - true allergic reaction - histamine release, complement cascade, immune-mediated, hypertonicity

Non-idiosyncratic:
acute renal failure - due to vasoconstriction, direct toxic effects on renal tubular cells
anti-coagulant effects - ionic agents have more anti-coagulant effects,
BBB damage - ionic agents increase BBB permeability, Bradycardia - vasovagal reaction
CHF - osmotic hypervolemia and worsen CHF
ECG changes - increased HR and prolonged QT interval
Endothelial lesions - increased permeability and thrombi formation,
Rigid erythrycotyes (difficulty moving through capillaries),
Decreased left ventricular function (after intracoronary injections),
Nausea/vomiting,
Peripheral vasodilation - agents have direct effect on endothelium - increasing their permeatility

Q

Describe the contrast utilized in CE-US

Description of the use of CE-US in 4 dogs with pancreatic tumors. JSAP 55

A

Tiny gas filled microbubbles that are stabilized by outer shell that are injected into systemic circulation - traverse pulmonary capillary criculation and reach organ vascular supply. Once in the vascular supply, they remain at this level (unlike CT or MRI).

Gas content is removed from blood by the lungs
Stabilizing components removed by kidneys and liver.

Microbubbles are detected following vibration and bursting - which increases SNR

48
Q

What are the 3 major phases of swallowing?

A

Oropharyngeal, esophageal, gastroesophageal

49
Q

What are hte 3 phases of the oropharyngeal phase of swallowing?

A

oral, pharyngeal, cricopharyngeal

50
Q

What abnormalities will you see with an oral dysphagia?

A

Bolus not formed
bolus not propelled caudally to pharynx
weak plungerlike activity of tongue (not pressing against dorsal aspect of the oral cavity)
Subsequent stages are normal

51
Q

What abnormalities will you see with a pharyngeal dysphagia?

A

Normal oral stage
Synchronous with cricopharyngeal opening
Retention of contrast within the pharynx
Inadequate pharyngeal contraction (high contraction ratio) (>0.6)
Misdirection of the bolus into larynx or nasopharynx, or aspirated

52
Q

What abnormalities will you see with a cricopharyngeal dysphagia?

A

Depends on the form

Chalasia (flaccidity) -
Relaxation/incompetence of sphincter - large, air filled
Prolonged time to cricopharyngeal sphincter opening

Achalasia (failure to open - congenital)
incomplete/lack of opening of the sphincter
Vigorous attempsts to pass bolus
Synchrony or dyssynchrony between pharyngeal contraction and opening

53
Q

What is the pharyngeal contraction ratio? How is it measured?

A

Measurement of the air within the pharynx during the most constricted phase of the pharynx (when dorsal pharyngeal wall is at its most ventral and caudal)

of pixels of the pharynx at maximum contraction / # of pixels at time of relaxation (hold frame)

54
Q

What phases have abnormal pharyngeal contraction ratios?

A

Both pharyngeal and cricopharyngeal phases

55
Q

How do you differentiate between abnormalities of only pharyngeal and cricopharyngeal phases?

A

Both will have elevated contraction ratios
Pharyngeal - normal opening of the UES
Cricopharyngeal - delay of opening of hte UES

56
Q

How do you differentiate between abnormalities of only pharyngeal and cricopharyngeal phases?

A

Both will have elevated contraction ratios
Pharyngeal - normal opening of the UES (0.07s)
Cricopharyngeal - delay of opening of hte UES (0.28s)

57
Q

What is appropriate dose of contrast given to both cats and dogs for an esophagram?

A

Depends on agent
Small-large breed dogs - 10-20mL if given barium suspension
Cats - 5-7mL if suspension

Paste - 10mL for dogs, 5mL for cats

Iodine - 10-15ml for dogs, 5-10 for cats 50/50 contrast:water dilution
