WK 16

QuestionAnswer
cruciate disease predisposition and signalment can be genetic and some breeds predisposed can be mechanical could be biological, gradual gegeneration could be trauma medium large and giant breeds more at risk 4yrs old = peak age
cruciate disease history = sudden onset of lameness
clinical presentation - lameness - orthopaedic exam - Also have an abnormal sit
cruciate disease treatment = - Non surgical (suitable for smaller dogs) = weight loss, physiotherapy to build up muscle -surgical managment= lateral suture, TPLO, TTA
Lateral suture - 15kg below, more suitable for smaller dogs, outcomes might not be as good, can be done in first opinion, cheaper
TPLO Alters angle of joint, requires more equipment and training
TTTA alters angle of joint, requires more equipment and training, neither is better than the other, surgeons preference
TPO, patient preparation Analgesia IVFT radiography clip prep positioning ABs
TPLO, surgical equipment standard surgical kit gelpis saw and curved blades mini driver/drill diathermy TPLO plate curette scrub nurse needed, fluid on saw to prevent bone getting too hot, role to hold the limb
TPLO, pst op usual post op anaesthesia cryotherapy- 10-15 mins no more than 20 sling outside to give additional support IVFT analgesia - pain score feeding ABs
Total Hip Replacement - only done in referral settings vs has to perform on total number of cadavers first developed during puppy stage ligaments of joint fail to stabilise socket becomes more like a saucer older dogs tend to develop OA
Total Hip Replacement is primarily genetic but obesity and too much exercise doesnt help
Total Hip Replacement, Signalment = Abnormal gate bunny hopping may swing reluctant to use stairs stiffness cam be hard to identify in younger dogs clinical exam will get pain response in hip flexion
Total Hip Replacement, treatment options conservative managment (NSAIDS, paracetamol, weight loss physio) femoral head and neck excision total hip replacement
Total Hip Replacement, Patient preparation = analgesia IVFT radiography epidural clip prep positioning ABs
Total Hip Replacement, complications aseptic loosening implant loosens femoral fracture damage to sciatic nerve infection complication rates are low
Total Hip Replacement, post op ○ Usual post-op care post anaesthesia ○ Cryotherapy ○ Sling outside to give additional support ○ IVFT ○ Analgesia – Pain Score! ○ Feeding Abs
Total Hip Replacement, Discharge - Need to have very controlled lead walk for 4-6 weeks post op - Crate rested -Once stitches out can have physio and hydro therapy
Spinal Surgery, IVDD presentation Grades 1-5 grade at presentation very much determines outcome
IVVD, presentation may have paralysis weakness unable to move hindlimbs knuckling
Grade 1 - patient has pain but no neurological issues
Grade 2 - patient and weakness in one or 2 limbs
Grade 3 - unable to walk can still move legs when supported
Grade 4 - unable to walk and move legs but do have feeling in toes or may or may not be able to urinate
Grade 5 - Paralysed total loss of deep pain unable to urinate
Spinal surgery, patient preparation § Analgesia § IVFT § MRI § Clip § Prep § Positioning ABs
Spinal surgery, special equipment minos spinal bur periosteal elevator rongeurs gelpis
Spinal surgery, post op - Usual post-op care post anaesthesia - Regular turning - Cryotherapy - IVFT - Analgesia – Pain Score! - Feeding - Abs - Bladder care very important in these patients!!! -Assisted walking necessary
Thoracotomy, Acute = trauma stick injury oesophageal foreign body (raw fed dog bones)
Thoracotomy, Chronic = phyothorax removing tumours pericardectomy
Thoracotomy, oxygen therapy masks, cages, oxygen tent need bloods, imaging, chest draining
Thoracotomy, patient preparation § Analgesia § IVFT § Clip § Prep § Warming devices ABs
Thoracotomy, Anaesthetic Monitoring = Spo2 Capnography Blood pressure Pulse ox Mechanical or manual ventilation chest open so animal cannot breath - IPPV
Thoracotomy, special equipment have longer handles may use rib retractors may need saw to cut through sternum
Two surgical approaches in the side lunglovectomy (dont have much of a surgical view)
Thoracotomy, post op § Usual post-op care post anaesthesia § Regular turning § IVFT § Analgesia – Pain Score! § Feeding § Abs Care of drains!!!
BOAS, signs = noisy laboured breathing struggle in heat regurgitation and vomiting sleeping with head up and toy in mouth sleep apnoea may wake up several times and change position takes 3 years off their life quality of life affected
BOAS, conservative managment weight loss exercise restriction not walking in heat avoid stress
BOAS, problems primary factors = anatomical features secondary factors = compensation because of it
BOAS problems overlong soft palate stenotic nares hypertrophy or nasal turbinate's hypoplastic trachea hypertrophy of the tongue
BOAS, secondary factors die to increase in negative pressure of air moving through airways = laryngeal collapse (die to increase effort of restriction) hypertrophy of tonsils (tonsils getting bigger, creates more resistance to air flow) GI disease more likely to regurgitate aspiration pneumonia syncope
BOAS, anaesthetic considerations IV access premedication pre oxgyenation eye lubrication good selection of et tubes capnography and other monitoring exubation
BOAS, surgical treatment stenotic nares laser assisted turbinectomy soft palate - staphylectomy/folding flap palatoplasty tonsillectomy restriction of laryngeal saccules laryngeal tieback permanent tracheostomy hiatal hernia repair
Gastric Dilation Volvulus GDV - emergency bloating of stomach -/+ twisting (GD OR GDV)
GD = stomach filled with gas - can try medication managment before
GDV = stomach filled with gas and twisted - surgical only
GDV ? common in large breed dogs stomach extends beyond normal amount twist normally clockwise entry to oesophagus normally blocked cannot empty stomach stomach expands with no outlet increases pressure in abdomen
DGV ? heart cannot fill patient normally in shock can get necrosis in stomach has a high fatality rate 1 in 5 dogs die
Gastric Dilation Volvulus, Clinical signs retching with no vomiting unproductive vomiting acute abdominal distension acute lethargy signs of shock
Treatment GDV = IVFT bolus bloods radiography, right lateral view will allow to see stomach gastric decompression, done by stomach tube or trocar +/- surgery
technique varies depending on surgeon incisional gastropexy circumcostal gastropexy belt loop gastropexy
GDV, post op Analgesia bloods IVFT +/- supplementation proton pump inhibitors ECG monitoring
