Thoracic Cavity Flashcards
McCarthy, VCOT, 2018:
Prognostication in canine rib fractures
Which score was correlated with risk factors?
Animal Trauma Triage (ATT) scores of non-survivors?
What ATT score had a 88% sensitivity and 81% specificity for predicting mortality?
McCarthy, VCOT, 2018:
Only the ATT score was correlated with risk factors
ATT scores of non-survivors was 5 or greater
ATT score of 7 or greater had a 88% sensitivity and 81% specificity for predicting mortality - a 1-point increase in ATT score corresponded to 2 times decreased likelihood of survival
Lux, JAVMA, 2018:
Thoracic trauma in dogs
What % of the dogs had flail chest?
What % of the dogs had 3 or more rib fractures?
What % of dogs required thoracotomy?
Mortality rate?
What was associated with outcome?
Mean Animal Trauma Triage (ATT) score of non-survivors?
What ATT score was associated with 5 times the odds of survival?
What % of dogs had SIRS pre-op vs post-op, and was SIRS associated with survival?
Mortality rate associated with SIRS?
Lux, JAVMA, 2018:
25% had flail chest
25% had 3 or more rib fractures
78% required thoracotomy
Mortality rate: 15%
ATT score was associated with outcome
Mean ATT score of non-survivors was 8
ATT score <7 had 5 times the odds of survival
55% had pre-op SIRS vs 34% had post-op SIRS; SIRS was not associated with survival
Mortality rate associated with SIRS was 24%
Lux, JAVMA, 2018:
Thoracic trauma in cats
What % of cats required intrathoracic surgery?
Overall peri-op mortality rate?
Mean Animal Trauma Triage (ATT) score for survivors vs non-survivors?
Lux, JAVMA, 2018:
65% required intrathoracic surgery
13% peri-op mortality rate
Mean ATT score was 6.4 for survivors vs 10 for non-survivors
Ranganathan, JAVMA, 2018:
Surgical ligation vs ductal occluder device
Which technique was associated with longer anesthesia and surgery durations?
Which technique was associated with hypotension and administration of vasopressors?
Which technique was associated with the need to administer antiarrhythmic and parasympatholytic medications?
Major complication rates for surgical ligation vs ductal occluder device?
Intra-op mortality rates for surgical ligation vs ductal occluder device?
Ranganathan, JAVMA, 2018:
Use of the ductal occluder device was associated with longer anesthesia and surgery durations
Use of the ductal occluder device was associated with hypotension and administration of vasopressors
Surgical ligation was associated with the need to administer antiarrhythmic and parasympatholytic medications, possibly due to arrhythmias caused by manual handling of the heart
Major complication rates: 10% for surgical ligation vs 0% for ductal occluder device
Intra-op mortality rates: 2% for surgical ligation vs 0% for ductal occluder device

Ranganathan et al JAVMA 2018 What were the major differences between suture ligation vs ductal occluder for treatment of PDA?
SL - more major intraoperative complications Occluder - more likely to need ACE inhibitor after surgery, this group had more significant cardiac changes prior to surgery
Claretti et al JSAP 2019 What was the cause of the majority of complications during catheter mediation PDA closure - technical or anatomic?
Technical complications 81% Anatomic complications 19% Overall mortality rate 0.76%
Bascunan et al Vet Surgery 2020 What percent of cats had persistent clinical signs following surgical correction of a vascular ring anolmaly?
69% of cats had persistent clinical signs 31% of cats had persistent megaesophagus
Carvajal Vet Surgery 2019 For dogs with idiopathic pericardial effusion, what is the difference in survival for pericarditis vs neoplasia?
No difference MST 66 days
