Q
  1. Epidural anaesthesia

Q
  1. Forearm ligaments
A

-Shoulder joint: no ligaments (replaced by tendon of infraspinatus lat. and tendon of subscapular med.)
-Transverse lig: holds tendon of biceps in place
-Lateral and medial collat. ligg of elbow joint
-Annular ligament (around radius)
-Lig. Olecrani: enforcement of joint capsule in olecranon fossa
-Tendon of ECR
Tendon of EDC
(at carpus, all tendons are fixed in the retinaculum)
Remember; in the forearm, the cephalic vein, supf antebrachial a. and N. radialis r. supf run in a common sheath on cranial aspect; take care not to hit artery or nerves when puncturing the vein

Q
  1. Hindlimb nerveblocks: fibularis, tibialis
A
  • N. tibialis-block: find tibial nerve in soft tissue bw common calcanean tendon and digital flexors, inject from medial aspect. Aspirate to make sure you are not in the caudal branch of saphenous a.
  • N. peroneus/fibularis communis-block: run thumb nail over head of fibula. Place finger on the head and inject one finger distance prox. to it

Q
  1. Kidneys
A
  • only L kidney can be palpated, as R kidney is too far cranial and covered by rib cage
  • you can feel something smooth, caudal to the last rib on the left side, close to the vertebral column

Q
  1. Large intestines
A

Q
  1. Laryngeal cartilages and the hyoid skeleton
A
  • palpate the larynx in the ventral neck
  • you can feel the thyroid cartilage and sometimes you are able to distinguish the thyroid cartilage and the cricoid cartilage (which is further caudally)
  • cranial to the thyroid cartilage, you can feel the thyrohyoid bone - basihyoid bone

Q
  1. Lymph nodes

Palpable ones

A
  • Mandibular ln: rostral to mandibular salivary gland, on either side of the vein
  • Superficial cervical ln: (pre-scapular): right in front of the scapula, a little ventral
  • Popliteal ln: grab skin behind stifle (from cau direction)
  • Inguinal ln: find the triangle bw. the inguinal canal and linea alba. Push thumb down/up until you find it

Q
  1. Glands/lymph nodes of the head and neck region
A

Glands:

  • mandibular salivary gland (+ monostomatic sublingual which is attached to it’s rostral end, within the same capsule): grab and pull downwards
  • parotid salivary gland (below ear – heart shaped)

Q
  1. Navel
A
  • = scar of umbilicus
  • start at the xiphoid process and move cau along the linea alba
  • eventually (approximately at the level of the last rib), you will find something that feels like a scar (not so easy to actually see it)

Q
  1. Nerve blocks: mentalis, infraorbitalis, alveolaris Mandibularis, lingualis
A
  • N. mentalis: from inside the mouth, there is a mucosa behind the lower canine teeth - insert needle in a rostral diection
  • N. infraorbitalis: palpate the foramen and insert needle in a caudal diection with the needle very flat towards the skin
  • outside for.: block only feautures outside, inside; everything
  • N.alveolaris mandibularis: inject on vent. aspect of head, from angle of mandible (1,5 cm), 90 degrees
  • block will naturally numb mental nerve as well
  • N. lingualis: inject medially to mandible, in a rost. diection, supf.
17
Q
  1. Nerve blocks: N.radialis, N.ulnaris, N.medianus
A

N.radialis-block: Grab the triceps muscle to see lat. head, and put needle bw. lat. head and brachialis, 45 degrees and proximally

  • N. ulnaris-block: in the groove bw. ECU and FCU, on lat. side prox. to acc.carpal bone
  • N. medianus-block: prox. to acc.carpal bone, but more medial, bw. FCR and SDF. Put needle bw. them in 45 degrees in a prox. direction
18
Q
  1. Palpable features of the cervical vertebrae
A
  • Atlas: wing of atlas, articulation with the occipital bone
  • Axis: processus spinosus
  • the rest of them: transverse processes
19
Q
  1. Pelvis, trochanter
A
  • tuber sacrale
  • tuber ischiadicum
  • tuber coxae not so prominent in dog because the wings of the ilium are more or less perpendicular in position
  • greater trochanter of femur
20
Q
  1. Retropharyngeal lymph nodes, thyroid, m.sternocephalicus, m.sternothyroideus, m.sternohyoideus
A
  • Medial retropharyngeal ln: may be palpated beneath the wing of the atlas (put fingers “under” sternomastoid m.)
  • Thyroid gland: on cranial trachea
  • M.sternocephalicus:
  • m.sternomastoideus (mastoid process of temporal bone)
  • m.sternooccipitalis (occipital bone)
  • M.sternothyroideus + M.sternohyoideus = more midline, on trachea
21
Q
  1. Salivary glands and lymph nodes of the head and neck region
A
  • Mandibular + monostomatic sublingual salivary glands: palpated together: right under mandible
  • Parotid salivary gland: under ear
  • Mandibular lnn: in front of mandibular gland
  • Superficial cervical lymph node: in front of scapula, a little ventral
22
Q
  1. Stifle
A

Make a cross bw. femoral condyle and tibial tuberosity, and fibular head and patella (o+i of patellar lig. and lat.collat.lig.), insert needle a bit prox. to the cross
