Karten in diesem Stapel (35)
- 1Components of a (respiratory specific) clinical examinationSignalment, history and CS, physical exam of respiratory pattern, chest shape/movement, and other respiratory signs (coughing, discharge, dyspnoea, etc.)
- 2—a - corniculate processes of arytenoid
b - cuneiform processes of arytenoid
c - epiglottis
d - vocal folds
e - laryngeal ventricles
f - cricoid cartilage
g - muscular processes of arytenoid
- 3Laryngeal nervous supplyVagus nerve (extrinsic ms)
Recurrent laryngeal nerve (intrinsic ms)
Cranial laryngeal nerve - cricothyroid m - 4Sinus technique + indicationsSinostomy (tube)
Flushing frontal sinus

Chronic stridor - 7BAS pathologyHypoplastic trachea
Elongated soft palate
Stenotic nares
Redundant pharyngeal mucosal folds
Eversion of laryngeal ventricles
Eventual laryngeal collapse - 8Elongated soft palate pathophysiologyTraps epiglottis + obstructs glottis
- 9Stages of laryngeal collapse1. Everted ventricles
2. Medial displacement of cuneiform cartilage
3. Dorso-ventral collapse of arytenoids - 10Emergency treatmentOxygen
Cage rest
Cool animal down
Axiolytics/sedation
Corticosteroids
Intubation - 11BAS surgical optionsNaroplasty (wedge, punch, alarpexy)
Soft palate resection (uvulectomy)
Ventriculectomy of everted ventricles
Partial laryngectomy/tie-back
Tracheostomy - 12BAS surgical considerations pre/post-opInflammation - corticosteroids
Temporary tracheostomy
Oxygen
GIT protectants + prokinetics
If collapsed larynx - extubate as late as possible - 13Suture material for uvulectomyFine monofilament absorbable
- 14Aetiology of laryngeal paralysisRecurrent laryngeal nerve neuropathy --> vocal cord abductor atrophy (cricoarytenoid dorsalis) --> failure for rima glottis to abduct
- older male Labs, poodles, etc.
Congenital in Huskies + Bouviers; <1 year CS - 15Laryngeal paralysis CSChanged/absent voice
Retching while eating
Dyspnoea (inspiratory)
Cyanosis + collapse
Signs slowly progressive until collapse. - 16Laryngeal paralysis DiagnosisEndoscope under light GA (w/o premed)
- thiopentone best
Doxapram stimulant - 17Surgical options for laryngeal paralysisUnilateral tie-back (crico-arytenoid lateralisation)
Partial laryngectomy - 18Surgical complications of laryngeal diseaseAspiration pneumonia
Scar formation - webbing - 19Temporary tracheostomy characteristicsEmergency procedure to bypass upper airways
Tube must be 50-60% of lumen
Cuffed, uncuffed, +/- inner cannula - 20Temporary tracheostomy post-op careClean every 2 hours
