A

Previous corrective upper airway surgery decreased odds of postanesthetic complications in brachycephalic dogs that underwent subsequent anesthetic events

Successful management of aspiration pneumopathy without antimicrobial agents: 14 dogs (2014-2021) Cook Jvim 2021

A

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.

Q

Respiratory complications in dogs with tetanus: A retrospective study of 53 cases Guedra Can J 2021

A

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

A

he greater the difference in clinical experience between two clinicians, the lower the odds of agreement between the two clinicians’ respiratory physical examination findings

Q

Prognostic indicators of short-term outcome in dogs undergoing surgery for brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome
Vet REC Maheeka 2020

A

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.

Q

Evaluation of temporary palatopexy to manage brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome in dogs in respiratory distress 2021 JSAP Sun et al

A

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.

Q

Bacterial infection in dogs with aspiration pneumonia at 2 tertiary referral practices

A

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.

Q

Comparison of C-reactive protein concentrations in dogs with Bordetella bronchiseptica infection and aspiration bronchopneumonia JVIM 2021 Canonne

A

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.

Q

Retrospective evaluation of the outcome and prognosis of undergoing positive pressure ventilation due to cardiac and
noncardiac causes in dogs and cats
Oppenheimer_2022_JVECC

A

Sixty-six percent (33/50) of L-CHF patients, compared with 35% (18/51) of the control patients, were weaned off PPV (P = 0.002).
Fifty-four percent (27/50) of the L-CHF patients survived to discharge, compared with
26% (13/51) of the control group patients (P = 0.003). However, only 54% (12/22)
of the discharged L-CHF patients survived for >2 months compared to 100% of the
control patients. The median survival time for dogs and cats with L-CHF surviving to
discharge was 240 days (range: 1–730 days). In dogs, factors negatively associated with
survival included CPR in both groups and the development of azotemia in the L-CHF
group. Anemia on presentation was negatively associated with survival for both cats
and dogs in the control group
