Abstract Objective To evaluate the use of the caudal vena cava collapsibility index (CVCCI) and the inspiratory/minimum and expiratory/maximum diameters of the vena cava to predict fluid responsiveness in hospitalized, critically ill cats with hemodynamic and tissue perfusion abnormalities. Design Diagnostic test study in a prospective cohort of hospitalized cats. Setting Private practice referral hospital.Continue reading “Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care – Most Recent”

Abstract Background Nutritional support has become an essential part of modern veterinary medicine. Among different techniques, esophagostomy tubes have been used extensively in dogs and cats. However, general anesthesia is typically required due to the critical step of passing an instrument orally to allow identification of the esophagus in the midcervical region. Therefore, clinicians commonlyContinue reading “Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care – Most Recent”

Abstract Objective To investigate the association of point-of-care biochemical variables obtained during CPR or within 24 hours of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) with patient outcomes. Design Retrospective study. Setting University teaching hospital. Animals Ninety-four dogs and 27 cats undergoing CPR according to the Reassessment Campaign on Veterinary Resuscitation guidelines. Interventions None. Measurements and Main ResultsContinue reading “Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care – Most Recent”

Abstract Objectives To report red cell distribution width (RDW) values, to calculate RDW-to-platelet ratio (RPR), and to investigate a possible correlation of RDW and RPR index values in neonatal foals classified as healthy or at risk based on clinical information from a population of foals up to 24 hours of life. Design Retrospective study conducted fromContinue reading “Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care – Most Recent”

Abstract Objective To evaluate the variability in arterial blood gas (ABG) assessment of pulmonary function with different body positioning in dogs with suspected aspiration pneumonia. Key Findings The median differences in alveolar-arterial gradient, PaO2 and PaCO2 values in different recumbencies were not statistically significantly different, both within patients and across the study population. No differenceContinue reading “Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care – Most Recent”

Abstract Objective To compare viscoelastic parameters between healthy control dogs and dogs with primary immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (pIMHA) using a new, point-of-care viscoelastic coagulation monitor (VCM).a Design Retrospective study from 2017 to 2021. Setting Three regional private referral centers. Animals Eighteen client-owned dogs with pIMHA and 33 healthy control dogs. pIMHA dogs were defined basedContinue reading “Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care – Most Recent”
