Effects of a stepwise alveolar recruitment maneuver on lung volume distribution in dogs assessed by computed tomography.

Article Synopsis
- - Pulmonary atelectasis is a common issue during anesthesia, and mechanical ventilation along with alveolar recruitment maneuvers (ARMs) and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) can help improve lung function, despite the risk of lung injuries like volutrauma and barotrauma.
- - The study aimed to assess how lung volume distribution changes with different levels of PEEP during ARMs in 12 anesthetized dogs, using CT scans for detailed monitoring.
- - Results showed that ARMs significantly improved lung ventilation and static compliance, especially at specific PEEP levels (10 and 5 cmHO), while also affecting cardiovascular measures like heart rate and mean arterial blood pressure.
Radiographic assessment of the temporomandibular joint in the domestic cat using conventional radiographic views can be challenging due to superimposition of overlying structures and the complex anatomy of the skull. The use of computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and cone beam computed tomography to assess the temporomandibular joint in the cat has increased, but these modalities are not always available in general veterinary practices. Conventional radiography is still commonly used for first line assessment of the temporomandibular joint.

Methods: Post-mortem CT and necropsies were performed in 20 cadavers of domestic cats. The sensitivity, specificity and agreement between the post-mortem CT and necropsy findings were determined.
