{"title":"Veterinary students do not need an elephantine memory: Effectiveness of an anesthetic pre-induction checklist.","authors":"Renata H Pinho, Alexandra R Robinson, Jessica Pang, Daniel S J Pang","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Checklists are widely recognized as safety measures in both aviation and human medicine, effectively preventing omissions caused by memory failures.Objective: To assess whether a pre-induction safety checklist completed by veterinary students during a spay/neuter laboratory minimized the number of incomplete pre-induction tasks.Participants and procedure: Third-year veterinary students (N = 53) managed the anesthesia of dogs and cats admitted for spay/neuter surgery under supervision. The use of a pre-induction checklist was mandatory to ensure appropriate preparation before anesthesia induction. Differences in checklist completeness between the 1st and 2nd wk of the spay/neuter laboratory were compared using Fisher's exact test.Results: Over 2 wk, 83 anesthesia procedures were completed. Use of the pre-induction checklist identified at least 1 omitted pre-induction task in 67.5% (56/83) of anesthesia procedures. The number of incomplete pre-induction tasks identified through use of the checklist decreased significantly from the 1st (82.9%, 34/41) to the 2nd (52.4%, 22/42) wk (odds ratio: 4.4, 95% CI: 1.7 to 11; P = 0.0046). The most frequently missed item was premeasuring the endotracheal tube insertion depth (42.2%, 35/83), followed by failure to leak-test the endotracheal tube cuffs and not having gauze available (15.7%, 13/83 for each). Finally, the checklist identified closed adjustable pressure-limiting valves in 4.8% (4/83) of cases.Conclusion and clinical relevance: The pre-induction checklist was effective in ensuring that veterinary students completed relevant pre-induction tasks during a spay/neuter laboratory. Results suggested the pre-induction checklist was a valuable tool that improved patient safety and prevented life-threatening equipment errors such as closed adjustable pressure-limiting valves.","PeriodicalId":9429,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Veterinary Journal-revue Veterinaire Canadienne","volume":"66 4","pages":"409-416"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11932370/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143762915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thoracic radiography revealed pleural effusion with a diffuse interstitial lung pattern. Echocardiography identified a mass compressing the left atrium, accompanied by a turbulent jet-like flow from the pulmonary veins, with a velocity of 1.6 m/s. Computed tomography revealed a diffuse, homogenous mediastinal mass compressing the dorsal border of the left atrium and surrounding the ascending aorta and the pulmonary arteries and veins. The distal caudal pulmonary veins were dilated, indicating pulmonary vein stenosis secondary to the mediastinal mass. The caudodorsal ostium was stenotic due to the mediastinal mass compression. In addition, bilateral adrenomegaly and multifocal masses were evident in the kidneys, stomach, and cecum. Lymphoma was diagnosed in the cecal mass using cytology and PCR for antigen receptor rearrangements (PARR). This case describes clinically significant acquired pulmonary vein stenosis secondary to a mediastinal mass, which was likely responsible for the respiratory distress and pleural effusion. Key clinical message: To our knowledge, this is the first report of acquired pulmonary vein stenosis secondary to a mediastinal mass in a cat. Computed tomography could be helpful in confirming pulmonary vein stenosis and identifying its etiology.","PeriodicalId":9429,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Veterinary Journal-revue Veterinaire Canadienne","volume":"66 4","pages":"402-408"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11932428/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143762724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On initial examination, the camel was emaciated, with bilateral masses protruding from the maxillary and mandibular bones and extending into the oral cavity; the lameness could not be assessed due to recumbency. Clinical pathology and fecal flotation findings were consistent with secondary nutritional hyperparathyroidism, hypovitaminosis D, marked anemia, hypoproteinemia, and parasitism. The camel was euthanized based on the presumptive diagnosis of fibrous osteodystrophy, which was confirmed on postmortem examination. Preventative strategies were recommended for future care of dromedaries and included camel husbandry with adequate ultraviolet light exposure, adequate nutrition, appropriate anthelmintic control programs, and vitamin D supplementation. Key clinical message: The cause of fibrous osteodystrophy in camels can be multifactorial and include secondary nutritional hyperparathyroidism, hypovitaminosis D due to inadequate exposure to ultraviolet light or intake, and parasitism. Specific nutrient requirements, sun exposure, and anthelmintic protocols are essential for camels living in North America.","PeriodicalId":9429,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Veterinary Journal-revue Veterinaire Canadienne","volume":"66 4","pages":"390-395"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11932364/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143762738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sick pigs from which samples were collected had various clinical signs, including those of PCV2-associated diseases. Whole-genome sequencing for PCV2 was done either by Sanger sequencing from 2 PCR amplicons covering the entire viral genome or by high-throughput sequencing.Results: The main PCV2 subtype identified as circulating in Canada was PCV2d (48.1%). Only 1 strain clustered into the PCV2e subtype (1.9%). In previous reports, PCV2b was the main subtype present in the field. However, only 5 PCV2b sequences (9.3%) were identified in 2022 and 2023.Conclusion and clinical relevance: This is apparently the first official identification of PCV2d and 2e genotypes in diseased Canadian pigs. Results also provided an overview of PCV2 strains now circulating in Canada compared to reports from 2007 to 2008.","PeriodicalId":9429,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Veterinary Journal-revue Veterinaire Canadienne","volume":"66 4","pages":"440-445"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11932374/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143762740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dog was presented with right pelvic limb lameness and progressive subcutaneous swelling and bruising. Radiographs of the region identified soft-tissue swelling in the right thigh musculature. Bloodwork monitoring consisted of packed cell volume and total solids, which continued to decrease during hospitalization. A CT scan showed a non-contrast-enhancing possible mass effect in the region. Multiple blood and plasma transfusions were instituted while the dog was in hospital and in preparation for amputation of the limb due to concern for a neoplastic process. During surgery, upon removal of a blood clot, profuse hemorrhage from a branch of the femoral artery was noted. The artery was ligated and amputation completed without complication. After surgery, the packed cell volume returned to normal and no additional bruising was noted. Histopathologic examination of the amputated limb showed extensive subacute hemorrhage and hematoma formation. No evidence of neoplasia or inflammatory foci was noted. At a 2-week recheck, all bruising had resolved and the dog was walking well. Key clinical message: This case report describes the first diagnosis and treatment of a suspected spontaneous femoral artery rupture in veterinary medicine.","PeriodicalId":9429,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Veterinary Journal-revue Veterinaire Canadienne","volume":"66 4","pages":"385-389"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11932373/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143762878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The median age was 32 y (range: 17 mo to 71 y). Fever, fatigue, headache, chills, and malaise predominated.Specific treatments were reported for 30 individuals. A tetracycline (tetracycline, doxycycline, or minocycline) was the sole treatment or part of a combination treatment for most (21/30, 70%) individuals, followed by rifampin (9/30, 30%), trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (7/30, 23%), and an aminoglycoside (gentamicin, streptomycin) (7/30, 23%). Clinical outcome was reported for 35 individuals. No mortalities were reported.A known or suspected source of exposure was reported for 56 cases; 45 (80%) were linked to dogs and 11 (20%) to laboratory exposure. Contact with pet dogs that had aborted or with aborted fetuses accounted for 31% of the canine exposures.Conclusion and clinical relevance: Brucellosis attributed to B. canis can cause a wide range of clinical presentations in humans, but was similar to brucellosis caused by other Brucella spp. This nonspecific nature highlights the importance of identifying risk factors for exposure, to determine whether B. canis infection should be considered.","PeriodicalId":9429,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Veterinary Journal-revue Veterinaire Canadienne","volume":"66 3","pages":"327-334"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11891790/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143603508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Radiation therapy is the treatment of choice but is not always accessible due to geographical location, logistics, or financial constraints. Other treatments may not be used because of various restrictions. We performed transnasal intranasal tumor volume reduction in 2 dogs with intranasal tumors; 1 dog had an adenocarcinoma and the other had a fibrosarcoma. In both cases, improvement in the quality of life (QOL), including reduced clinical signs and increased activity, was observed ~1 wk after treatment. No obvious complications were associated with this treatment. Although tumor recurrence was noted in both cases, this treatment could be applied multiple times. In conclusion, transnasal nasal tumor volume reduction is a palliative method that contributes to improvement of clinical signs and QOL. Key clinical message: We report palliative treatment of intranasal tumors in dogs. The treatment described in this report is available to most veterinarians and helps improve the QOL of dogs with nasal tumors, including improving respiratory status.","PeriodicalId":9429,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Veterinary Journal-revue Veterinaire Canadienne","volume":"66 3","pages":"267-272"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11891793/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143603918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
