Day 4 - Airways Flashcards

1
Q

GP tympany

A

Cause: Plica salphyngiea works as a one way valve. Congenital
Tx:
- Foley catheter for 2-3 wks
In case of arterial occlusion: Balloon catheter and coil embolisation

Q

GP mycosis

A

Aspergillus. quite similar to GP tympany, more bleeding
Tx: Arterial occlusion: → usually int. carotid ways
– coil embolisation
– Balloon catheter occlusion

Q

DDSP vs iDDPS- Treatment

A

DDPS Conservative: Larynx position: tongue-tie, „Cornell collar“ + NSAIDS

iDDPS: Surgical
– laryngeal tie-forward
– Myectomy (M. sternothyreodieus)
– Staphylectomy ?? → Removes part of soft palate – Scarring of the soft palate with laser

Q

Hemiplegia laryngis - Diag, Treatment

A

DIag:
* Palpation (CAD-atrophy)
* US of the larynx
* Endoscopy at rest and dynamic (treadmill)

* Noise (voiceprint, spectrogram)
* Spirometry (Air capacity of lungs)
* Lobelin-stimulation

  • Laryngoplasty (LP) + Ventricul(ocord)ectomy &
  • Arytenoidectomy (if LP unsuccessfull)

Q

Axial deviation of the Aryepiglottic Fold
Occ, Tx, CS

A

Occurrence: dynamic, bilateral (rigth?), Racing

Treatment: Transendoscopic Laser excision

Clinical signs: Poor performance, Worse with time, older horses, often chronic

  • Acute:
    – perichondrial oedema
    – fever, lethargic, leucocytosis
  • Ulceration, Kissing lesion

Treatment
* Acute: AB, NSAIDs, „throat spray”. Tracheotomy – in emergency
* Chronic: Partial arytenoidectomy

Q

Soft palate cyst
Occ, CS, Diag, Tx

A

Occurrence, Clinical Signs
* Young race horses
* Foals (congenital form?)
* Noise during inspiration (asphyxia), Cough
* Dysphagia, aspiration pneumonia

Diagnosis: Endoscopy, Lat-lat X-rays, Palpation

Treatment
* oral extraction
