COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF TRACHEAL COLLAPSE TREATMENTS IN DOGS

Abstract

Tracheal collapse in dogs is an acute surgical pathology comprised of primary tracheal deformation and secondary compensatory changes caused by hypoxia. Treatment of tracheal collapse is obstructed with cardiorespiratory complications, and publications give cure rate below 60%. The paper provides comparative analysis of efficacy of conservative and surgical ways of tracheal collapse treatment in dogs based on data from 32 clinical cases. The study involved clinical examination, percussion, auscultation, blood count, and X-ray examination. Transluminal tracheoscopy for endoscopic examination used rigid endoscopes 2.7 mm and 4 mm diameter with 30° view angle. The study demonstrated that endoscopic stenting of trachea was more clinically effective than conservative therapy: survival rate among dogs treated with tracheal stenting was 78.5% against 33.4% survived in conservative therapy group. The study also proposes post-surgery treatment regimen.
