No other adverse reactions were observed during the 28-day study period. Serum albumin concentration was increased by a mean of 0.57 g/dL (5.7 g/L) (<i>P </i>= 0.003) when measured 2 hours after the first CSA infusion, and albumin concentration remained significantly higher than baseline at 24 hours after infusion, with a mean difference of 0.42 g/dL (4.2 g/dL) (<i>P </i>< 0.001). The second and third CSA infusions similarly increased serum albumin concentration at 2 hours (<i>P </i>= 0.001 and <i>P </i>= 0.001, respectively) and 24 hours (<i>P </i>= 0.012 and <i>P </i>= 0.007, respectively) after infusion. COP increased by a mean of 2.03 mm Hg at 2 hours after the first infusion (<i>P </i>= 0.013) and remained significantly higher than baseline at 24 hours after infusion, with a mean difference of 1.52 mm Hg (<i>P </i>= 0.002). The second CSA infusion similarly increased COP at 2 hours (<i>P </i>< 0.001) and 24 hours (<i>P </i>= 0.017) after infusion.

Dogs were positioned in sternal recumbency with the head raised to the level of the phlebostatic axis. The systolic peak velocity (Vp) was measured using pulsed Doppler mode. CA was evaluated through the transient hyperemia test (THT), which assesses changes in the Vp after a 5-second transient compression of the ipsilateral common carotid artery and is expressed as the ratio between the Vp flow before and after carotid compression. The Vp before and after carotid occlusion was compared using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The median Vp of the middle cerebral artery after the carotid compression maneuver was significantly higher than the median Vp before compression (median [interquartile range, IQR]: 47.7 cm/s [34.3] vs 64.1 cm/s [24.4]; <i>P</i> = 0.003).

On evaluation, the puppy was found to have cranial abdominal pain with an otherwise normal physical examination. An inflammatory leukogram with no other clinically significant findings was found on the initial diagnostics. An abdominal ultrasound showed peritoneal effusion and a lobulated structure in the left cranial abdomen. An emergency exploratory celiotomy was performed, during which evidence of torsion was found in the left limb of the pancreas, which was subsequently excised from the abdomen. The puppy was hospitalized overnight and discharged the next day. Histopathology of the pancreas was consistent with torsion.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Unique Information Provided</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Pancreatic torsion is a rare but potential cause of acute abdomen in dogs and can be successfully treated with surgical excision.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":17603,"journal":{"name":"Journal of veterinary emergency and critical care","volume":"34 6","pages":"579-584"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/vec.13433","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142570541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
