vomiting vs regurgitation
vomiting: active muscle contraction
why tests to run on abdominocentesis
cytology
PCV/TS
bili
creat/K
lactate/glucose
if abdominocentesis PCV/TS is same as blood then
acute problem
in abdominocentesis, has high bili
gall bladder rupture?
bile duct damage
if abdominocentesis Creat/K higher then blood then
uroabdomen
if abdominocentesis Lactate will be — if septic abdomen
higher then blood
if abdominocentesis glucose will be — if septic
lower then blood
normal lactate for dog
< 1
dog with lethargy, vomiting, high HR, tacky MM, low BP, painful abdomen, high lactate and PCV/TS
what type of shock
compensated hypovolemic shock
lactate over 1= poor perfusion
how to check GI tissue health
Ps
- peristalsis
- perfusion/pulses
- perforations
- purple/black
- palpation
what is holding layer of enterotomy
submucosa
what can cause intestinal leakage post enterotomy
- 3-5 days: macrophages breaking down collagen, new fibrin not formed yet
- low albumin from not eating
- low BP= poor perfusion to area
