ABDOMINAL X-RAY POSITIONING
Going to be uploading all of these in the following days if they are helpful...
Passed my first OSPVE exams ☺️☺️
Simplified digestive tract diagram.
This is a little stray cat brought into our practice. She's unmicrochipped and has not yet been claimed. Just goes to show microchipping is worth it for £10! She looks like a Halloween, lucky black cat to me! 🌑
Modified Maquet Procedure (MMP)
The other week I was lucky enough to scrub up to assist in an orthopaedic surgery and this was the outcome!
The MMP is based on a technique developed almost 50 years ago for use in human knees. The operation works by redirecting the force generated by the large quadriceps muscles at the front of the thigh to compensate for the failed cruciate ligament.
X-rays are required after the surgery to check the wedge and staple are correctly in place. The patient is usually re x-rayed 4 weeks after the surgery to check it is still in the correct position.
It is very important that exercise is restricted to short lead walks and that the dog isnt let off the lead even in the garden and the veterinary surgeon's instructions are followed carefully. This is because I have personally seen one patient come in lame from being let off the lead and the staple had broken, this is an expensive repair and unnecessary surgery for the patient!
Normal wound management applies, including a lovely buster collar!
ET Tube fun! When to extubate?
In dogs:
When recovering from an anaesthetic dogs are left on oxygen for 5-10 minutes. Extubation should occur when the dog regains its ability to swallow, this can be indicated by their first cough. It is vital the cuff of the ET tube is allowed to deflate before the dog is extubated.
Cats:
Cats differ from dogs as they need to be extubated BEFORE they regain the ability to swallow to prevent laryngeal spasm. Therefore it is important to play close attention to increased jaw tone and look for an ear twitch when the hair on the ears is gently stroked.
I passed my first year of uni today, yay :)
