- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoCambios clínicos y conductuales post operatorios de un paciente con SRB: estudio de caso(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Idrovo Calle, Andrea Nohelia; Castillo Hidalgo, Edy Paul; 0605694470The objective of the present investigation was to evaluate the clinical signs and behavioral modifications of a 2-year-old American Bully canine patient, affected by Brachycephalic Respiratory Syndrome (BRS), during the postoperative period. Prior to the scheduled surgery, the medical history (HC) was performed, which allowed us to document the patient's post-surgical changes. In addition, the response of the respiratory, cardiovascular, metabolic, skeletal muscle and neurosensory systems to the stress imposed by exercise was evaluated through the 6-minute effort test, and animal welfare evaluations were also carried out through freedom of sleep. and comfort, feeding, and interaction with other dogs over a 5-day period. The surgical procedure consisted of two phases: the first involved the correction of the elongated soft palate through staphylectomy, while the second phase included rhinoplasty and correction of nares stenosis. Additionally, the same tests were carried out to collect post-surgery data. After the completion of the surgery, the patient remained under observation during which time an episode of respiratory dyspnea occurred, a phenomenon considered “common” in these patients attributed to the presentation of postsurgical laryngeal edema. Subsequently, saturation remained between 87% and 96%. % SPO2, with an average of 91% SPO2, respiratory sounds decreased significantly, and the feeding process, previously affected by SBR, showed improvement on the first postoperative day, an increase in the quality of sleep and rest of the patient was also observed.
- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoConstrucción de biomodelo para cateterización intravenosa en pacientes caninos(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Cevallos Durán, Manuel Francisco; Castillo Hidalgo, Edy Paul; 0106983042Peripheral canalization is one of the most practiced techniques by veterinary professionals. They are techniques that consume time, require practice, and generate pain. Consequently, the creation of a 3D-printed model of the canine forelimb will facilitate adequate intravenous cannulation since it guarantees the improvement of the quality of work, thus reducing stress in our patients. 3D printing is a manufacturing process in which a three-dimensional object is created from a digital model using successive layers of material. Unlike traditional manufacturing methods, this adds material layer by layer to build the desired object. One of the critical processes in 3D printing is obtaining a digital model, which can be achieved through medical scanning techniques, such as CT or MRI, which capture the patient's anatomy. These images are converted into 3D digital models, which are then used to generate the design file for the printer. The use of models in intravenous catheterization training provides several advantages. Students have the opportunity to become familiar with canine vascular anatomy and structure in a safe and risk-free manner. They can practice identifying relevant veins, assessing emerging tissues’ resistance and response , and refining catheter insertion and advancement techniques. Furthermore, models allow the repetition of procedures, which facilitates gradual learning and error correction. Keywords: Catheterization, 3D, cannulation, computed tomography (CT), peripheral pathways
- ÍtemSolo MetadatosElaboración de hilos de sutura a partir de cabuya (agave americana), cilantro (coriandrum sativum) y nitrato de plata(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2022) Porras Olaya, Elizabeth Katherine; Reyes Alvarado, Carolina Elizabeth; Castillo Hidalgo, Edy Paul; 0706746997; 0105068845The objective of this project was to manufacture suture threads from “cabuya” (American agave), coriander (Coriandrum sativum) as a reducing agent, and silver nitrate (AgNO3) to obtain silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The suture threads were manufactured from “cabuya” fibers, to which AgNPs were attached as a bacteriostatic and bactericidal mechanism, using an aqueous carrier obtained from coriander extract. Bacterial properties were tested using cultures for S. aureus, and E. coli, showing an inhibition halo of 6 x 4 cm and an average diameter of 1.6 cm. The effectiveness and applicability were tested in two groups of 10 guinea pigs, group AA (“cabuya”) and group 2 NN (polyamide), which were placed in individual boxes for a 30-day adaptation period. After that, two 5 cm lateral surgical incisions were made in the dorsum of the same patient with the help of a 3D printed incision pattern, which was treated with the two sutures. At 8, 15, 21, 21, 45, and 60 days, skin tissue samples were taken to estimate the tissue reaction, degradation, and healing period. The statistical analysis showed no differences between treatments, except for suture degradation, which showed regression of (AA=R^2 0.87 and NN= R^2 0.68). It was concluded that the agave fiber sutures treated with synthesized AgNPs using cilantro keep the same characteristics as the synthetic sutures. Keywords: Cabuya, coriander, guinea pigs, AgNO3, bactericide, bacteriostatic.
- ÍtemSolo MetadatosEstudios de las variables morfométricas en la región antebraquial de perros controdistroficos sin afección a la articulación(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2023) Molina Cordero, Juan Sebastian; Briones Ramón, Jimmy Eduardo; Castillo Hidalgo, Edy Paul; 0105951891; 172667699Chondrodystrophic dogs (CDDY) are dog breeds with peculiar features in their limbs. Due to a genetic disorder, they are recognized for their short legs, resulting from a premature closure of the ulna’s epiphyseal line, which inhibits the average growth of the radius. Various deviations, such as valgus and varus curvatures, can be observed in their study. The most notable CDDY breeds include the Basset Hound, Dachshund, Shi-Tzu, English Bulldog, and French Bulldog, as their deformities are more noticeable upon initial inspection. This study aims to identify different variations in the angularities of CDDY dogs without joint damage in their forelimbs. Using CT and specialized software, measurements were taken to determine the angularity value of each morphological anomaly in five breeds and three different age groups. The aim is to find a variation in the anatomical changes among breeds, evaluate the age range, and conclude whether bone wear will always precede the morphological change in the forelimb. The statistical results demonstrate various variations; however, when averaged, they showed no significant angular differences among each breed and each age group. Therefore, it is possible to know the bone change that CDDY breed dogs may have, but a more varied study would provide conclusive evidence or results. Key Words: Angularity, Curvature, Deviation, Epiphyseal, Ages and Breeds.
- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoImpresión de modelos anatómicos didácticos en 3D para la intubación endotraqueal de felinos y caninos mestizos(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2022) Morales Jara, Franco David; Zhishpun Picon, Carlos Xavier; Castillo Hidalgo, Edy Paul; 0105810220; 0106446271Endotracheal intubation is a medical procedure that requires great expertise to be performed successfully. Performing this maneuver without proper training can have consequences. For many years endotracheal intubation has been taught to veterinary students with dead animals; nowadays, there are simulation-based teaching methods. Many veterinary schools have implemented the teaching of this technique with 3D printed anatomical models. This research aimed to design, print, and test 3D didactic models for endotracheal intubation of canines and felines. This study was carried out at the facilities of the Veterinary Medicine Department of the Catholic University of Cuenca. Computed tomography scans were performed on three dogs and one cat to serve as an anatomical template for the digital design of the 3D models. 3D animal’s models were printed with two materials. The outer part was constructed with polylactic acid, while the inner parts of the model were printed in thermoplastic polyurethane. The models were tested by 121 undergraduate (n = 80) and graduate (n = 41) students of Veterinary Medicine. The pupils were subjected to a 5-question survey to determine their opinion about the 3D didactic models. About 95% of the respondents stated that the 3D models were anatomically similar to real canines and felines and that they were helpful, didactic and easy to use. Keywords: endotracheal intubation, dogs, cats, veterinary medicine
- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoIrrigación de lidocaína mediante una bomba elastomérica en hembras caninas sometidas a ovariohisterectomia(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Quinde Viñanzaca, Manuel Antonio; Castillo Hidalgo, Edy Paul; 0104382841Surgery causes tissue injury that triggers nociception and inflammation, increasing pain. In addition to being an analgesic, Lidocaine has antiinflammatory properties by inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The use of elastomeric pumps for continuous medication administration has shown benefits in inpatient and outpatient care, maintaining constant plasma levels and improving symptom control. The use of an elastomeric pump for continuous lidocaine irrigation in female dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomy (OVH) is proposed to assess its effectiveness in controlling postoperative pain and accelerating the healing process. This study aims to improve postoperative pain management in female dogs undergoing OVH, contributing to animal welfare and reducing the side effects of surgery. An accessible and effective technique that can be implemented in various veterinary settings is suggested, improving patients' quality of life and optimizing available resources. OVH is commonly performed due to the overpopulation of stray dogs and sterilization campaigns in low-income communities. Postoperative pain management is crucial for animal welfare, emphasizing the need to test various techniques to determine their efficacy and implement the most beneficial approach
- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoManejo anestésico de paciente con síndrome respiratorio braquiocefálico sometido a cirugía correctiva: estudio de caso(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Peñaranda Zambrano, Jorge Steeven; Castillo Hidalgo, Edy Paul; 0704662238The objective of this research is to evaluate anesthetic management, developing a specific protocol for the anesthesia of American Bully patients undergoing corrective surgery for Brachiocephalic Respiratory Syndrome. An anesthetic protocol specifically designed for an American Bully patient undergoing corrective surgery for Brachycephalic Syndrome (BRS) is presented. Given the potential risk of cardiac problems associated with this pathology in this breed, diagnostic tests, such as an electrocardiogram and x-rays, were performed before scheduled intervention to correct the syndrome. To ensure patient safety, anesthetic drugs were carefully selected taking into account the diagnostic results. The protocol included the administration of Omeprazole to prevent gastrointestinal complications, Maropitant to control nausea and vomiting, Dipyrone as an anti-inflammatory analgesic, Butorphanol as premedication, Propofol for maintenance, Sevoflurane for inhalation anesthesia, Meloxicam for anti-inflammatory analgesia, Morphine to control pain, Atropine as premedication and Adrenaline for emergency situations. Results: The data collected in the tables highlight the appropriateness of the selection of anesthetic drugs for the patient. During the surgical intervention, no significant complications were observed, and physiological constants remained within pre-established ranges. This behavior clearly demonstrates the effectiveness of the set of drugs used both in the preanesthetic phase and in the maintenance of anesthesia. These results allow us to conclude that the patient responded favorably to the anesthetic protocol implemented, which solidly supports the safety and effectiveness of the surgical procedure performed.
- ÍtemSolo MetadatosPrevalencia de parásitos gastrointestinales zoonoticos en perros ferales aledaños al relleno sanitario Pichancay de la parroquia Santa Ana(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2022) Cobos Zhiminaicela, Magaly Elizabeth; Castillo Hidalgo, Edy Paul; 0301980421The objective of this study was to establish the prevalence of zoonotic gastrointestinal parasites in feral dogs captured at the Pichacay Landfill for four months in 2021 in the rural parish of Santa Ana in the Cuenca canton, Azuay province - Ecuador. Sampling was carried out on 50 feral dogs, 17 males, and 33 females, without exclusion criteria due to their feral condition, distributed in June (15 dogs), July (10 dogs), August (15 dogs), and September (15 dogs). The capture was carried out from 10:00 pm to 05:00 am the following day; during this time, the cages were checked at 11:00 pm, 02:00 am, and 05:00 am. Three cages were used with two systems to capture: suspended barrier and removed barriers from the floor to activate the mechanism and close the gate. After capture, the dogs were sedated, and their physiological constants such as temperature, capillary refill time, heart rate, and respiratory rate were assessed. Fecal samples were taken directly from the rectum. The samples were transported under refrigeration to be processed in the clinical laboratory by direct flotation and sedimentation methods. The results showed that 100% of the feral dogs presented various zoonotic gastrointestinal parasites, the most prevalent being Ancylostoma sp 92.00%, Toxocara canis 90.66%, and Coccidia 86.66%, and Giardia spp 2%, with no difference between females and males. The canines showed no visible clinical signs of parasite infestation. Keywords: Prevalence, parasitosis, canines, zoonosis
- ÍtemSolo MetadatosSedación de perros con maleato de acepromacina, en cuatro diferentes mucosas(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2023) Yanza Vera, Adriana Cecibel; Castillo Hidalgo, Edy Paul; 0105452882In small species veterinary medicine, pre-medication protocols in anesthesia and analgesia have been used to obtain good patient management practices, thus achieving greater comfort and promoting animal welfare. One of the most commonly used drugs for patient sedation is Acepromacin Maleate, which is mostly administered IM at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg of live weight. This sedative could be used either alone or in combination with other drugs. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of Acepromacin Maleate in the sedation of dogs applied in four different mucosae, at doses of 0.005mg/kg of live weight, using 12 canines classified in two groups, 6 females and 6 males, varying in age and breeds. The sedative was applied in the nasal, anal, preputial, and vaginal mucosa in three days, where it was identified that there are no differences in any of the treatments, in the cardiac frequency, oxygen saturation, diastolic pressure, and systolic pressure always remaining within the established range for the species, however, the mean pressure showed an increase of the established ranges in the vaginal treatment in the time of 20 minutes with a value of 150.83 and the other treatments remained in a range. It is concluded that the use of acepromazine maleate in canines in different mucosas maintains great hemodynamic stability. Keywords: acepromazine, mucosa, dogs, sedative, blood pressur
