THORAX, PERICARDIUM: 104, 105, 107 Flashcards
What lung protdrude more cranially?
the left cranial lobe compared to the right cranial
arterial supply of the dorsolateral skin of the thorax
thoracodorsal artery
surgical access to ICS cranial to 5 (not comprised)
skin, latissimus dorsally + deep pectoralis ventrally, scalenus, (rectus toracis very ventral), serratus dorsalis+ serratus ventralis, ICS muscle
origin of the intercostal artery
the first 3-4 are branches of the thoracic vertebral artery
remainder direct brances from aorta
what vessel always accompany dorsal the transverse thoracic muscle?
internal thoracic artery (arise fromo left and right subclavian arteries)
in sternotomy closure is preferred to use a figure of eight or a double loop cerclage?
figure of 8
what breeds are predisposed to pectus excavatum?
bengala and burmese. cause of a shortened or hypoplastic diaphragm
name some of the muscles that could serve as flaps in the thoracic region
latissimus dorsi, external abdominal oblique, transversus abdominis, diaphragm
surgical access caudal to ICS 5 (included)
latissimus dorsi, only a small portion ventrally of pectoralis deep. serratus dorsalis and ventralis (not until last ribs), NO scalenus, YES external abdominal oblique ventrally
physiologic content of pleural fluid in dogs and cats
dogs: 0,1 ml/kg
cats: 0,3 ml/kg
lymphatic drainage of the thorax
VISCERAL NODES:
mediastinal: cranial mediastinum, hearth surface
bronchial: pulmonary + tracheobronchial
PARIETAL NODES:
ventral center: right and left sternal (or single)
dorsal center: aortic thoracic nodes, inconsistent in dimensions and presence (25% of dogs)
cisterna chili anatomic landmarks
ventral to 1-4 lumbar vertebrae
anatomic differences in thoracic duct beetween dogs and cats
dorsolateral to aorta RIGHT in dogs, LEFT in cats. crosses to the left in dogs at 6-7 thoracic vertebra.
boths terminates in ext jugular vein or jugosubclavian angle
pleural fluid classification
trasudate: <3 PRO, <1015 PS, < 1500 NCC/microlitro
modif trasudate: 2,5-5 PRO, 1015-1025 PS: 1500-7000 NCC/microlitro
exudate: > 3 PRO, >1025 PS, >7000 NCC/microlitro
how to diagnose a chylous effusion
triglyceride effusion > triglyceride serum
cholesterol effusion < cholesterol serum
detection of chylomicrons
what is pseudochylous?
not descrubed in pets, in human medicine when cholesterol effusion> cholesterol serum and viceversa trygliceride.
