Final Flashcards
What muscle attaches to the acromion of the scapular spine?
Acromial part of the deltoideus muscle
You used a Rosenthal needle in lab to obtain a bone marrow aspirate from the proximal humerus. What is another application of needle placement in this location? Hint-it is often used in young kittens or puppies
The needle placement in this location can also be used for intra-osseous administration of fluids in a young puppy or kitten that has very small veins or poor blood pressure.
List two neoplasms that you could find located on the digit.
Squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma, osteosarcoma, synovial cell sarcoma, soft tissue sarcoma, mast cell tumor
When performing a digit amputation, what is the name of the joint that is disarticulated?
The metacarpophalangeal joint
What is the main goal of an orthopedic examination?
To localize pain
During your orthopedic examination of a 10-year-old MN Golden retriever, you elicit bone pain of the proximal humerus. You are concerned about a potential bone lesion. Give 2 potential rule outs for a dog of this signalment.
primary bone tumor, fracture, arthritis, fungal osteomyelitis
A 3-year-old Fs Cocker spaniel presents with potential shifting leg lameness in the forelimbs. You palpate joint effusion in multiple joints on your orthopedic examination. What are two diagnostic tests that you would want to perform on the fluid?
Cytology, fluid analysis, culture
The right adrenal gland is ______________ to the caudate process of the caudate liver lobe.
dorsal
The lesser omentum is ______________ to the papillary process of the caudate liver lobe.
ventral
The gallbladder is to the ______________ of the quadrate liver lobe.
right
The left lobe of the pancreas is in the ______________ leaf of the greater omentum.
dorsal
The ascending colon is ______________ to the transverse colon.
orad
what organ is located in the mesoduodenum
right limb of pancreas
“Flick”, a 2 yr old M Heeler, ingested some straight sewing needles. One of the needles penetrated the stomach and lodged in the lesser omentum. Describe the (1) attachments of the lesser omentum and (2) how you will expose the lesser omentum during your abdominal explore to find the needle.
(1) The lesser omentum is attached caudally to the lesser curvature of the stomach and cranially to the liver.
(2) To see the lesser omentum, retract the stomach caudally and elevate the left liver lobes ventrally.
A thrombus is identified in the celiac artery via ultrasound. Which organs will the arterial supply be impacted?
duodenum, liver, pancreas R & L limbs, spleen, stomach
Main site for bile to exit from the biliary tree in the dog
Major duodenal papilla
Main site for bile to exit from the biliary tree in the cat
Major duodenal papilla
Main site for endocrine pancreatic secretions to exit the pancreas in the dog
Pancreatic vein
Main site for endocrine pancreatic secretions to exit the pancreas in the cat
Pancreatic vein
Main site for exocrine pancreatic secretions to exit the pancreas in the dog
Minor duodenal papilla
Main site for exocrine pancreatic secretions to to exit the pancreas in the cat
Major duodenal papilla
If you were a drop of bile, list the structures you would enter or pass through, in chronological order, from the moment you leave the liver to when you exit the biliary tree. Assume the body will not be eating until several hours after you leave the liver.
Liver –> hepatic duct –> common bile duct –> cystic duct –> gallbladder –> cystic duct –> common bile duct –> major duodenal papilla –> duodenum
List the 3 classic components of brachycephalic airway syndrome that can be treated surgically
- Stenotic nares: treatment is rhinoplasty
- Elongated soft palate - treatment is staphylectomy
- Everted laryngeal saccules - treatment is resection of everted saccules
stage 3 laryngeal collapse due to end-stage BOAS (Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome) later in life, and this collapse could not be repaired surgically, the back-up, salvage surgical procedure that could be done to establish a patent airway is
permanent tracheostomy
Make a numbered list (in chronological order) of each tissue layer you will go through when you perform a temporary tracheostomy. After each layer, indicate in parentheses (1) if that layer will be cut or retracted, and (2) in which direction this incision or retraction will take place.
Skin (incise craniocaudally)
Subcutaneous tissue (cut craniocaudally)
Cutaneous m. (cut craniocaudally)
Subcutaneous tissue (cut craniocaudally)
Sternohyoid muscles (retract laterally)
Annular ligament between tracheal rings 3 & 4 or 4 & 5 (transverse incision, right to left or left to right).
NOTE: there is often subcutaneous tissue on either side of the cutaneous muscle, so be prepared for this.
how to place bilateral tubes for nasal 02
You mark the tubes at a length equal to the distance from the tip of the nose to the ipsilateral MEDIAL CANTHAS and direct each tube in a VENTROMEDIOCAUDAL direction as you insert into the nostril.
Steps for placing a cerclage wire for a mandibular symphyseal fracture
The hypodermic needle is placed in a ventrodorsal direction. The hypodermic needle is passed on the lateral side of the mandible. The wire is passed through the needle in a dorsoventral direction. The wire is passed caudal to the visible portion of the lower canine teeth. The wire twist is located ventral to the mandibular symphysis.
The location where the distal end (i.e. the end that is inside the esophagus) of the esophagostomy tube should be when you complete the procedure
Measure the tube so that it will end up in the mid-thoracic region. You do not want it to sit close to or in the gastroesophageal sphincter where it can stimulate reflux. The esophagus is fairly dorsal, so your selection should be in the dorsal 1/3 of the thorax.
Which of the following best describes the main path(s) the distal end of the esophagostomy tube (i.e. the end that ends up inside the esophagus) will take from the time you grasp it with your Carmalt and pull it into the esophagus until the procedure is complete?
Orad then aborad
List at least two top differential diagnoses for the diffuse, bilateral muffled heart& lung sounds.
Pneumothorax
Hemothorax
Diaphragmatic hernia
