Q

Gastric glands cell types and function

A

parietal cells: OXYNTIC, maintain acid pH by pumping H into lumen and make intrinsic factor (mucoprotein) that binds B12 for absorption in distal SIchief cells: secrete pepsinogen (converted to pepsin in acid environment)–breaks down proteinsmucous neck cells: secrete mucus to protect other gland cells from the action of enzymes and acidendocrine cells: produce gastrin, histamine, serotonin

59
Q

Lactate SN/SP if > 6 mmol/L according to dePapp et al 1999 JAVMA

A

plasma lactate in GDV dogs > 6.0mmol/L was 61% SN/ 88% SP for gastric necrosis99% dogs with < 6.0mmol/L survived, but only 60% dogs > 6.0mmol/L survive

60
Q

Lactate according to Zacher et al 2010

A

90% of dogs with initial serum lactate concentrations of 9.0mmol/L or less survived vs with 54% of dogs with initial lactate concentrations of 9.0mmol/L or moreIn the group of dogs with initial lactate concentrations of 9.0mmol/L or more, the response to resuscitative therapy (measured by the posttreatment lactate concentration), absolute change in lactate concentration, and percentage change in lactate concentrations were evaluated relative to survival. Survival rates were significantly lower for dogs with posttreatment lactate concentrations above 6.4mmol/L, absolute changes in lactate concentration of 4mmol/L or less, and percentage change in lactate concentrations of 42.5% or lesscare must be taken when applying specific cutoff values to individual patients because the values of survivors and nonsurvivors overlap

circumcostal 4.3%(ranged anywhere from 0-7% based on different studies)belt loop 0%gastrocolopexy 15%

~10% recurrent GD< 5% (4.8%) probably of GDV recurrence though no dogs in the study had recurrent GDV

63
Q

Factors associated with increased mortality following GDV surgery

A
  1. duration clinical signs >6 hr2. concurrent gastrectomy/splenectomy or splenectomy needed3. hypotensive4. gastric wall necrosis5. pre op peritonitis/sepsis6. pre op cardiac arrhythmias7. DIC
64
Q

T/FIncreased duration of time from presentation to surgery has been associated with an overall decrease in the mortality rate.

A

TRUEMackenzie JAAHA 2010Increased duration of time from presentation to surgery has been associated with an overall decrease in the mortality rate. This decrease in mortality presumably reflects that time spent stabilizing the patient with aggressive fluid support; gastric decompression is critical and positively impacts survival.

65
Q

positive predictors of survival for dogs with initial lactate > 9 mmol/L based on Zacher et al

A

based on serial lactate measurements–absolute change in lactate > 4 mmol/L (86% survive)–% changes in lactate >42.5% (100% survive)–final lactate < 6.4 mmol/L (91% survive)

TRUEseen in 43% GDV patients and 40% OHE control patients

68

A

29 fold

70
Q

Mayhew etal Vet Surgery 2009compared total laparoscopic gastropexy using two different techniques for gastropexy suturing with laparoscopic-assisted gastropexy.

A

Laparoscopic-assisted gastropexy was performed in a significantly shorter time than either total laparoscopic gastropexy technique and required less specialized equipment. Activity, as measured by accelerometry postoperatively, was significantly reduced for the first 4 days after surgery in dogs that underwent laparoscopic-assisted gastropexy compared with dogs that underwent total laparoscopic gastropexy.
