Equine 1 - Surgery Flashcards
whiter colour on xray
radiopaque
more radiation absorbed
dark colour on xray
radiolucent
more radiation passed through
how different organs absorb radiation
metal > bone > soft tissue, fat, water > gas
opaque –> lucent
3 methods of xray detection
conventional
computed

infection, inflammation, neoplasia
continued pressure on the bone

ACP
ASA classification of horses
1
a healthy horse
ASA classification of horses
2
horse with mild systemic disease - mild anaemia, rao
ASA classification of horses
3
horse with severe systemic disease = severe rao
ASA classification of horses
4
horse with severe systemic disease that is a constant threat to life - colic
ASA classification of horses
5
moribund horse not expected to survive - foal with uroperitoneum

emergency
fasting recommended prior to anaesthesia

premed
induction
maintenance
recovery
why is ACP good for premed
decreases risk of death
improved recovery
MAC decrease -30%
why are alpha2agonists good for premed
MAC decrease
analgesia
increase urine though so need to catheterise
