Ultrasonography of the Collateral Ligaments of the Distal Interphalangeal Joint in Horses: Technique and Reference Images     

Laurence Evrard  DVM  Géraldine Bolen  Nathalie MaquetValeria Busoni  DVM  PhD  Dip. ECVDI 《Journal of Equine Veterinary Science》2012

This study describes ultrasound (US) technique and reference images of the equine distal interphalangeal joint collateral ligaments (CLs), and evaluates the portion of the CLs assessable by US in a series of normal forelimbs. Transverse and longitudinal US images were obtained on five healthy horses and on 25 equine cadaver forelimbs. On six limbs, a needle was placed under US-guidance at the distal limit of visualization of each CL, and the portion of CL visible at US was evaluated on computed tomographic (CT) images. The normal CLs appear as oval structures located abaxial to the fossae of the middle phalanx in the transverse sections, obtained at the level of the coronary band. A centrodorsal hypoechoic image appears with increasing proximodistal probe inclination, demonstrating different fiber orientations within the ligament. Two main fascicles, a deep and a superficial, distally divergent, are visible on longitudinal images obtained in the central part of the ligament. The proportion of CL visible at US examination was more than 50% of the total ligament length in nine of the 12 CLs assessed by CT. Awareness of the estimated portion of distal interphalangeal joint CLs visible at US and detailed knowledge of the US technique and CLs morphology are essential to efficiently use US examination on clinical cases.  相似文献

Circulatory, respiratory and behavioral responses in isoflurane anesthetized llamas

Objectives To evaluate the circulatory, respiratory and behavioral effects of isoflurane (ISO) anesthesia in llamas during mechanical ventilation and spontaneous breathing. Design Prospective randomised study. Animals Six adult, neutered male llamas (10 ± 1 years [mean ± SD], 179 ± 32 kg). Materials and methods Animals in which the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) had been previously determined were anesthetized with ISO in oxygen. Inspired and end‐tidal (ET) ISO were sampled continuously. Arterial blood pH, respiratory and circulatory variables, and clinical signs of anesthesia were recorded at three doses (1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 times the individual animal's MAC; mean MAC value 1.13%) of ISO during spontaneous and controlled ventilation. A series of Latin squares was used to determine order of dose. Controlled ventilation (CV) (target PaCO₂ 38 ± 5 mm Hg [5.0 ± 0.6 kPa]) preceded spontaneous ventilation (SV) at each dose. Animals breathed spontaneously for approximately 10 minutes prior to data collection. Body temperature was maintained at 37 ± 0.6 °C. Circulatory and respiratory data were analysed with a mixed model, least squares analysis of variance, for repeated measures taken at equally spaced intervals. p < 0.05. Results Dose and mode of ventilation had significant influences on measured variables. For example, heart rate increased as dose increased; 67 ± 14 beats minute^?1 at 1.0 MAC‐CV versus 77 ± 6 beats minute^?1 at 2 MAC‐CV. Conversely, mean arterial pressure decreased with increasing dose; 82 ± 13 mm Hg at MAC‐CV versus 52 ± 15 mm Hg at 2 MAC‐CV. Arterial CO₂ increased with increasing dose during SV; 45 ± 5 mm Hg [6 ± 0.6 kPa] at MAC versus 53 ± 4 mmHg [7 ± 0.5 kPa] at 2 MAC. Reflex activity (e.g. palpebral reflex) and muscle tone (e.g. jaw tone) decreased while eyelid aperture increased with increasing anesthetic dose. Conclusions and Clinical Relevance The influence of ISO dose and mode of ventilation on circulatory and respiratory variables in llamas is qualitatively similar to that reported in other species. Changes in reflex activity and muscle tone may be used to guide appropriate anesthetic delivery in ISO‐induced llamas.  相似文献   

A comparison of epidural buprenorphine with epidural morphine for postoperative analgesia following stifle surgery in dogs   总被引：2，自引：1，他引：2

Objective To compare the efficacy of epidural buprenorphine with epidural morphine for post‐operative pain relief in dogs undergoing cranial cruciate ligament rupture repair. Study design A randomized, double blind clinical trial. Animals Twenty client‐owned dogs with cranial cruciate ligament rupture. Methods Dogs were randomly assigned to receive either epidural buprenorphine (4 µg kg^?1) or epidural morphine (0.1 mg kg^?1) in a total volume of 0.2 mL kg^?1. Epidural injections were performed immediately after induction of anesthesia. End‐tidal halothane and CO₂ were recorded every 15 minutes from the time of epidural administration of drug to extubation. A numerical rating pain score system was used by a blinded observer to evaluate analgesia beginning at extubation and continuing at specific intervals for 24 hours after surgery. Heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure were recorded noninvasively at the same times. If pain score indicated moderate discomfort, rescue morphine at 1.0 mg kg^?1 was administered intramuscularly. Results There were no significant differences between groups with respect to pain score, heart rate, respiratory rate, indirect blood pressure, end‐tidal halothane or end‐tidal CO₂ at any time point. Fifty percent of dogs in the buprenorphine group and 50% of dogs in the morphine group required rescue analgesic medication. Time of systemic rescue morphine administration did not differ significantly between the two groups. There were no clinically observable side‐effects from epidural administration of either drug in any of the dogs of this study. Conclusions Epidural buprenorphine is as effective as epidural morphine for the relief of postoperative hindlimb orthopedic pain in dogs. Clinical relevance Buprenorphine appears to be an effective opioid for epidural use in healthy dogs. Buprenorphine may offer certain advantages over morphine for epidural use, such as lower abuse potential and, in some clinics, reduced cost and less wastage of drug.  相似文献
