Q

descrive the origin of the right and left crus of diaphragm

A

origin from paired lumbar muscles of diaphragm

each gives a crus, that further divides in two.

Q

IAP: intraperitoneal pressure: values

primary-secondary

acute-chronic

localized-generalized

septic-aseptic

29

primary peritonitis, survival and aetiology (spontaneous inflammation)

A

CULP et al. 2009 survival 46.7 % dogs, 44,4% cats in one study

56% dogs monoculture, 100% cats monoculture

30
Q

most common form of peritonitis in dogs

A

secondary peritonitis most commonly from intestinal leakage-dehiscence

RALPHS et al., 2000 (85% death after int-leakage)

31
Q

what is intended for chemical peritonitis. is it primary or secondary?

A

secondary

endogenous contaminant (gastric-intestinal, bile, pancreatic enzymes, urine)

32
Q

types of aseptic peritonitis

A

mechanical-foreign body (sterile)

starch granulomatous (glove powder)

chemical peritonitis

sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (abdominal organ encapsulated in thick layer of connective tissue

parasitic-protozoal (toxocara, toxoplasma, mesocestoides, angiostrongylus costaricensis

32
Q

types of aseptic peritonitis

A

mechanical-foreign body (sterile)

starch granulomatous (glove powder)

chemical peritonitis

sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (abdominal organ encapsulated in thick layer of connective tissue

parasitic-protozoal (toxocara, toxoplasma, mesocestoides, angiostrongylus costaricensis

33
Q

risk factors for developing septic peritonitis after celiotomy

A

preoperative septic peritonitis
hypoprotinemia
hypoalbuminemia
intraoperative hypotension

foreign body protective against development!!

34
Q

can peritonitis being associated with uroabdomen?

A

rarely, unless urine already infected before trauma-rupture

35
Q

bile peritonitis, survival rates

A

MEHLER ET AL 2004 survival 55% septic, 13% nonseptic

CREWS ET AL 2009 survival 82% gallb infection and rupture

36
Q

most common bacterium in bowel perforation septic peritonitis

A

alpha-hemolysin (common exotoxin of e.coli)

decrease intraperitoneal ph
lyses intrap. erytrocites
