Q

What is Ficks law?

A

The rate of transfer of a gas through a sheet of tissue is proportional to the surface area available for diffusion, diffusion coefficient of the gas, difference in gas partial pressures and inversely proportional to the tissue thickness

  • Klebsiella pneumoniae
  • Staph
  • Strep
  • Pseudomonas
  • Fusobacterium
20
Q

What is the maximum volume of lung which can be acutely removed?

21
Q

What is the surgical outcome after lung lobectomy for lung abscess?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Mortality 20% (14% if 1 lobe removed, 60% if three removed)
  • 54% of survivors has resolution of their pneumonia
  • MST 96m with resolution of pneumonia vs 10m
22
Q

What breeds are overrepresented for bronchiectasis?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • American Cocker Spaniels
  • Min Poodles
23
Q

Name these suture patterns for closure of a lung laceration

Study These Flashcards
A
  • A - Interrupted lembert mattress pattern
  • B - Haemostatis mattress sutures (1) and simple continuous
24
Q

What breeds are predisposed to lung lobe torsion?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Large dogs with deep narrow chests (right middle and left cranial)
  • Pugs (left cranial)

May be assoc with chronis resp disease, chylothorax, trauma, d-hernia, thoracic surgery, neoplasia

25
When may air bronchograms be seen with lung lobe torsions? What % will be emphysematous?
- first 2-3 days - After this air is absorbed and replaced with fluid - 97% emphysematous
26
What is the prognosis for lung lobe torsion?
- 50% in one study - 61% in another - Pugs have more favourable outcomes, 11/12 survived
27
What is the most common type of pulmonary neoplasia? What conditions can be seen with pulmonary neoplasia?
- Carcinomas of bronchial or alveolar origin - Hypertrophic osteopathy or lung-digit syndrome (17.9% of cats)
28
What should be used for lung FNA? What is the diagnostic rate?
- 22-25g needle under u/s guidance - DIagnostic in 80% (sen 77%, spec 100%)
29
What factors are associated with prognosis for pulmonary neoplasia
- Clinical signs (545 vs 240d) - LN involvement (452 vs 26d) - Better prognosis for solitary, well-differentiated carcinoma less than 5cm in diameter - Malignant pleural effusion worse prognosis - SCC worse prognosis (50% survival 8m) In cats, degree of differentiation most prognostic - moderately differentiated 698d - poorly differentiated 75d
30
How should you suture a partial lung lobectomy?
- Continuous overlapping haemostatic, pneumostatic suture pattern (1-2 layers) - Oversewn with simple continuous
31
What stapler can be used for partial lung lobectomy?
- 2.5mm staples typically used for partial lung lobectomy - Can be inserted through a 12mm cannula
32
What structure needs to be broken down for a caudal lung lobectomy?
Pulmonary ligament (pleural fold between the caudal edge of the hilus and the mediatinum)
33
How should a mainstem bronchus be ligated?
- Pre-placed horizontal mattress sutures - Oversewn
34
What staplers can be used for total lung lobectomy?
- TA-V3 - TA55 with 3.5mm staples
35
In which dogs is an open thoracotomy recommended for lung lobectomy over thoracoscopic?
- Dogs weighing less than 10kg - Mass over 8cm
36
Removal of what % of lung if fatal? What % volume is within the left and right lung?
- Removal of 60% is fatal - should remove a maximum of 50% acutely - Left lung 42% - Right lung 58% *Dogs undergoing staged lobectomies over 6m period can survive with equivalent of 1.5 caudal lung lobes*
37
What changes are seen in the contralateral lung and myocardium after a pneumonectomy?
- Decreased compliance, vital capacity and perfusion - Right ventricular hypertrophy and increased pulm vascular resistance and residual lung capacity
38
What causes compensatory improvement of oxygen transport after over 50% pneumonectomy?
- Recruitment of physiologic reserves of diffusion capacity - Remodelling of existing alveoli-capillary structures - Growth of new alveoli-capillary units
