Respiratory Flashcards
What is the most common reason for nasal disease in dog
Tumor 70-80%
increased effort on expiration is indicative of upper or lower airway disease
Lower
what sound does the flow of air passed a rigid obstruction, paralysed/ collapsed larynx
Stridor
orthopnea
the position of sternal recumbency with elbows abducted, the neck extended and open mouth breathing
What is the position of sternal recumbency with elbows abducted, the neck extended and open mouth breathing.
orthopnea
Stridor or stertor are suggestive of upper or lower airway disease
Upper- inspiration
What airway sound would you hear with laryngeal paralysis, tracheal collapse, nasopharyngeal stenosis
stridor
What is the term for difficult or labored breathing
dyspnea
What causes stridor
rapid flow of air passed a rigid obstruction, paralysed/ collapsed larynx durring inspiration
High pitched inspiratory noise
Stridor
Cough is suggestive of upper or lower airway disease
Lower
Increased effort in inspiration is indicative of upper or lower airway disease
Upper
What causes stertor
inspiratory air passing over soft tissue obstruction
Low pitched inspiratory noise
Stertor
What causes the blue color of cyanosis
increased amounts of deoxygenated (reduced) hemoglobin
What airway sound would you hear in a dog with Brachycephalic airway syndrome
Stertor
At what PaO2 is cyanosis seen
39-44 mmHg
A dog is cyanotic and you place a pulse ox. At least how low is the O2 level
at the highest 78% O2
Crackles and wheezes are indicative of upper or lower airway disease
Lower
Two primary differentials for a cough in a dog
tracheo pulmonary disease and cardiac failure
Which cough is associated with pulmonary edema, Dry/nonproductive of Moist/productive
Dry/nonproductive
Which cough is associated with allergy or infection, Dry/nonproductive of Moist/productive
Moist/productive
what is a paroxysmal cough
Acute, then worse, then better
If lung sounds are heard dorsally, but not ventrally, what do you suspect
pleural effusion- lungs float
