Study Notes
Wound Healing
- Wound healing occurs in four overlapping phases: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling.
- Hemostasis involves vasoconstriction, platelet aggregation, and clot formation.
- Inflammation involves recruitment of immune cells, phagocytosis, and release of cytokines.
- Proliferation involves angiogenesis, fibroblast activity, collagen deposition, and granulation tissue formation.
- Remodeling involves collagen maturation and reorganization.
- The highest infection risk occurs during the inflammation phase.
- Infection risk is moderate during the proliferation phase.
- The lowest infection risk occurs during the remodeling phase.
Interventions to Reduce Infection Risk and Optimize Healing
- Initial wound cleaning involves irrigation with sterile saline or antiseptic solutions (e.g., chlorhexidine, povidone-iodine).
- Debridement removes necrotic tissue and contaminants.
- Topical antibiotics (e.g., mupirocin or silver sulfadiazine ) may be applied to the wound surface.
- Systemic antibiotics are used in cases of severe infection or high-risk wounds.
- Moisture-retentive dressings (e.g., hydrocolloids, hydrogels, alginates) promote epithelialization and reduce infection risk.
- Antimicrobial dressings contain silver, iodine, or honey to provide antimicrobial activity.
- Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) can promote blood flow, reduce edema, and remove exudate.
- Growth factors and biological dressings (e.g., platelet-derived growth factor and amniotic membranes) can enhance cellular activity and tissue repair.
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) increases tissue oxygenation, enhancing immune function and collagen synthesis.
Wound Care Management
- Adequate intake of proteins, vitamins (C and A), and minerals (zinc and iron) is crucial to support immune function and tissue repair.
- Management of diabetes, obesity, and other conditions that impair healing is necessary through strict glycemic control and weight management.
- Appropriate analgesia is important to reduce stress and improve patient compliance with wound care.
- Anti-inflammatory agents (e.g., corticosteroids) should be carefully managed to avoid impairing the inflammatory phase of healing.
- Immunostimulants may be used to boost the immune response during the early stages of healing.
Sterilization Methods
- Autoclaving (steam sterilization) uses saturated steam under pressure to sterilize surgical instruments.
- Ethylene oxide (EtO) sterilization uses ethylene oxide gas to sterilize heat- and moisture-sensitive medical devices and instruments.
- Hydrogen peroxide plasma sterilization uses vaporized hydrogen peroxide combined with plasma to sterilize instruments.
- Chemical sterilization (cold sterilization) involves immersing instruments in a liquid chemical sterilant (e.g., glutaraldehyde, peracetic acid).
- Radiation sterilization uses ionizing radiation (e.g., gamma rays, electron beams) to sterilize medical equipment.
- Dry heat sterilization uses hot air (free from moisture) to sterilize instruments.
Sterilization Indicators
- Mechanical indicators use the sterilization equipment's built-in displays and recording devices to monitor parameters like time, temperature, and pressure.
- Chemical indicators (CIs) use chemical substances that change color or form.
- Biological indicators (BIs) contain highly resistant bacterial spores and demonstrate the effectiveness of the sterilization process.
Sterilization Indicator Applications
- Mechanical indicators are used continuously during every sterilization cycle.
- Chemical indicators are typically used with each sterilization load, with Type 5 or 6 CIs used periodically to monitor critical variables.
- Biological indicators are typically used weekly or with each load containing implantable devices.
Bilious Vomiting Syndrome
- Chronic intermittent vomiting and reflux of contents can be caused by prolonged fasting or gastric inactivity.
- Small frequent meals, including a late evening meal, may help manage this condition.
- Food reactions, including food allergies and intolerances, can also cause bilious vomiting.
- Immunologic (food allergy) reactions can cause cutaneous signs, while non-immunologic (food intolerance) reactions can cause diarrhea and vomiting.
Echinococcosis
- Two forms exist: Echinococcus granulosus and Echinococcus multilocularis.
- Echinococcus granulosus is the cystic form, and dogs are the definitive hosts.
- Echinococcus multilocularis is the alveolar form, with foxes as the definitive host.
- Definitive hosts become infected by ingesting hydatid cysts (larval stage) in the visceral organs of intermediate hosts (e.g., liver and lung).
- The polycystic form (E. vogelii or E. oligathrus) usually does not cause clinical signs.
- Human infection is possible through ingestion of hydatid cyst eggs, usually from contaminated food or water.
Tetanus
- Supportive care is crucial for tetanus patients.
- Tetanus usually results from puncture wounds.
- Antitoxin only binds to free tetanus toxin.
- Human or equine immunoglobulin can be administered intramuscularly.
- Metronidazole or penicillin G is used to kill vegetative bacteria.
- Tetanospasmin, the toxin produced by Clostridium tetani, prevents the release of glycine and GABA.
- Recovery requires regrowth of nerves, which takes about 3-4 weeks.
Cytauxzoon
- This fatal disease is caused by the parasite Cytauxzoon felis.
- The parasite is transmitted by ticks, primarily Amblyomma americanum and Dermacentor variabilis.
- Cytauxzoon schizonts are often found in the blood, spleen, liver, and bone marrow.
- The disease is found in the South Central, Southeast, and Mid-Atlantic regions of the US.
- Treatment involves a combination of atovaquone and azithromycin, sometimes including imidocarb and heparin.
Coccidial Protozoa Diseases
- Includes Giardia, Cryptosporidium, Isospora, Toxoplasma, and Tritrichomonas foetus.
- Giardia and T. foetus are flagellates, while Cryptosporidium, Isospora, and Toxoplasma produce oocysts.
- Giardia has both trophozoite and cyst stages, while T. foetus only has the trophozoite stage.
- Transmission for all is fecal-oral.
- Cryptosporidium oocysts are immediately infectious, while Toxoplasma, Neospora, and Isospora must sporulate outside of the host.
- Giardia, Cryptosporidium, and Toxoplasma are small intestinal diseases, while Isospora and T. foetus are large intestinal diseases.
- Diagnosis involves Sheather's sugar centrifugation, zinc sulphate flotation, antigen tests, and PCR.
Parasites and Infections in Cats
- Giardia, Cryptosporidium, T. foetus, and Isospora reside in the intestines.
- Chagas disease is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi.
- The vector for Chagas disease is the Triatomine bug (e.g., Triatoma infestans, Triatoma dimidiata, and Rhodnius prolixus).
- Cats can become infected by ingesting infected bugs or bug feces, via blood transfusion, or transplacentally.
- Chagas disease is divided into acute, intermediate (latent), and chronic phases.
- Diagnosis for acute Chagas disease is via blood cytology, while chronic/intermediate disease is diagnosed with serology and immunofluorescence assay (IFA).### Treatment of Chagas'
- Benznidazole, nifurtimox, and itraconazole are treatment options.
Nasal Aspergillosis
- 2/3 of cases in cats are sino-orbital and invasive aspergillosis
- Non-invasive forms are considered a different disease: SNA (Synovial Nasal Aspergillosis)
- Common symptoms include anorexia, Horner's syndrome (HL), paraplegia, and blindness
- Certain dog breeds (Dolichocephalic and Brachycephalic) are more prone to this condition
- Diagnosis methods include cytology of nasal exudates, nasal swab, endoscopic brush, and biopsy
- Topical enilconazole is more effective than clotrimazole for treatment due to lower toxicity and irritation
- Systemic treatment involves azole drugs if the fungal plate (CB) is intact
- If refractory, a combination of posaconazole, terbinafine, and doxycycline can be considered
Poisoning Therapy
- ABCs are the first priority
- Decontamination includes skin, eye, and respiratory treatment
- GI decontamination is crucial for large ingestions of substances like grapes, gum, chocolate, plant extracts, strong acids, alkalis, and petroleum products
