Anesthetic risk during subsequent anesthetic events in brachycephalic dogs that have undergone corrective airway surgery: 45 cases (2007-2019) JAVMA 2020 Doyle
Previous corrective upper airway surgery decreased odds of postanesthetic complications in brachycephalic dogs that underwent subsequent anesthetic events
Complications following laryngeal sacculectomy in brachycephalic dogs Hughes JSAP 2018
8 of 37 developing complications, nine of which were moderate to severe
results suggest that sacculectomy might increase morbidity following brachycephalic airway surgery,
Radiographic tracheal dimensions in brachycephalic breeds before and after surgical treatment for brachycephalic airway syndrome Canadia Vet J 2020 Regier
surgical correction for BAS does not resolve or improve tracheal hypoplasia in brachycephalic breeds.
Successful management of aspiration pneumopathy without antimicrobial agents: 14 dogs (2014-2021) Cook Jvim 2021
case series, immunocompetent dogs sustaining aspiration events, even with classical evidence of pneumonitis or pneumonia, have been managed successfully without antimicrobials. Radiography alone cannot be used to determine the requirement for antimicrobials.
Respiratory effects of low versus high tidal volume with or without positive end-expiratory pressure in anesthetized dogs with healthy lungs AJVR 2018 -seminal
Differences in TV and PEEP application during mechanical ventilation may affect respiratory function in anesthetized dogs with healthy lungs. Ventilation with a TV of 15 mL/kg and PEEP of 5 cm H2O significantly improved lung compliance and reduced the amount of atelectatic and poorly aerated lung.
Respiratory complications in dogs with tetanus: A retrospective study of 53 cases Guedra Can J 2021
Dogs with respiratory complications had a poorer outcome, with only 14.3% (2/14) surviving to discharge, compared to 94.8% (37/39) for dogs with no respiratory complications. Respiratory complications such as AP and upper air way obstruction were common in dogs with tetanus, and this was associated with a poorer outcome.
Interclinician agreement on the recognition of selected respiratory clinical signs in dogs and cats with abnormal breathing patterns vet J 2021 Domingues Ruiz
he greater the difference in clinical experience between two clinicians, the lower the odds of agreement between the two clinicians’ respiratory physical examination findings
Prognostic indicators of short-term outcome in dogs undergoing surgery for brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome
Vet REC Maheeka 2020
Dogs presenting with clinical signs of BOAS benefit from rhinoplasty and palatoplasty alone.
The degree of narrowing of pharyngeal dimensions appears to be associated with severity of snoring while soft palate length alone was not.
Evaluation of temporary palatopexy to manage brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome in dogs in respiratory distress 2021 JSAP Sun et al
Temporary palatopexy is a relatively simple procedure that may be a useful method for managing brachycephalic dogs in an upper airway crisis. This could avoid the need for prolonged intubation, emergency tracheostomy, re-intubation or euthanasia in dogs where costs access to specialists and availability of referral centres are limited.
Brachycephalic airway syndrome: management of post-operative respiratory complications in 248 dogs Lidsay Australian vet journal 2020
Fifty-eight dogs (23.4%) had complications which included dyspnoea requiring anaesthesia and re-intubation (8.9% temporary tracheostomy (8.9%
Effects of preoperative cisapride on postoperative aspiration pneumonia in dogs with laryngeal paralysis JSAP 2019 Ogden
Laryngeal paralysis is commonly treated by unilateral arytenoid lateralisation, and aspiration pneumonia is one of the most serious potential complications of this procedure.
A markedly lower rate of aspiration pneumonia in patients administered butorphanol with acepromazine preoperatively and buprenorphine postoperatively was noted, but the overall low frequency of aspiration pneumonia
Bacterial infection in dogs with aspiration pneumonia at 2 tertiary referral practices
Lack of routine BALF collection hampers definitive recognition of bacterial infection in AP.
Fever, band neutrophils and high radiographic scores were noted in dogs with and without b-AP.
Clinical and radiographic findings in cats with aspiration pneumonia: retrospective evaluation of 28 cases JSAP 2019 Levy
aspiration pneumonia occurred in cats following vomiting, anaesthesia or after receiving enteral nutrition (similar to dog and human). 89% survival in the study
Comparison of C-reactive protein concentrations in dogs with Bordetella bronchiseptica infection and aspiration bronchopneumonia JVIM 2021 Canonne
In contrast to dogs with Asp bronchopneumonia, CRP was not a good marker for the diagnosis of dogs suspected to have bordetellosis. Confirmation of Bb infection still requires lower airway sampling.
Development of a tension pneumomediastinum during mechanical ventilation of a young Irish Wolfhound JVECC 2020
Pneumomediastinum has not been described in dogs receiving MV.
