Cardiovascular PE Labs Flashcards
bovine RR
10-30 breaths/min
bovine temperature
101.5-102.5
bovine HR
60-80 bpm
what vessels are used to assess pulses
middle coccygeal artery
auricular artery
digital artery
bovine lung field
top of 11th rib through middle of 9th rib
bottom of 6th rib through the point of the elbow
withers response/scooch/withers pinch test
asses cranial and abdominal pain
pinch withers dorsally at mid thorax and observe for ventral flexion away from the pinch
partner listens over trachea or a grunt (normal)
horse RR
12-24 breaths/min
what vessels are used to assess pulses on horses
mandibular artery
transverse facial artery
jugular distention/pulsation
normal at bottom 1/3 of neck
abnormal in top 2/3 of neck
jugular refill
assess the speed of filling by occluding the jugular vein and waiting for it to fill, then releasing
horse HR
24-36
2nd degree type II AV block is NORMAL
dog RR
10-30 breaths/min
tachypnea
increased RR
dyspnea
difficult/labored breathing
hyperpnea
increased depth and RR
orthopnea
unable to breathe unless sitting or standing
gray vs pale MM
gray: cyanosis (hypoxemia from R to L shunt, respiratory disease)
pale: anemia, vasoconstriction, poor perfusion
what does a prolonged CRT indicate
poor perfusion
what does increased jugular distention at standing indicate
increased venous pressure (R sided heart failure)
what does increased jugular pulsation at standing indicate
tricuspid valve regurgitation
hyperkinetic pulses
bounding; increased pulse pressure (high systole, low diastole, or both)
hypokinetic pulses
weak/thready; decreased pulse pressure (low systole, high diastole)
