I’ve stated this in a confusing way here. The lecture notes state “make the oblique incision such that the antimesenteric border is shorter than the mesenteric border.” This statement refers to the bowel that is left in the body. In the video, I am referring to the bowel that is taken out of the body. So, if I were to ask it on an assessment, I would have to distinguish between the two. For example: When performing a resection and anastomosis, the surgeon aims to make incisions such that the antimesenteric side that is being removed is longer than the mesenteric side that is leaving the body. True or false?
TRUE
T/F: When resecting a length (section) of bowel, the incisions into it should be made closest to the vessels which are being removed from the body.
FALSE
When resecting a section of bowel, which side of the bowel which is left in the body is shorter?
antimesenteric
T/F: When incising into bowel, it is important to cut into the damaged tissue in order maintain the integrity of adjacent healthy tissue.
FALSE
What is one of the most common non-traumatic causes of hemoabdomen in the canine patient?
ruptured splenic mass
Which of the following signs is NOT a sign of a saddle thrombus?
a. Non-ambulatory in the hind limb(s) (I didn’t say this in the video, but it’s in the notes)
b. Paws that are hot to the touch
c. Absent femoral pulse
d. Acute pain
e. Cyanotic foot pads
b
Which of the following vessels carry(ies) blood AWAY from the liver?
hepatic veins
The hepatic portal system drains blood away from which structures?
gastrointestinal tract
The umbilical vein brings (oxygenated/deoxygenated) blood (to/from) the fetus
oxygenated/to
