The horse abdominal pathologies often needs surgical techniques to your complete resolution. This kind of procedure, usually a big trauma plus the anesthetic stress very important in horses, bring important systemic changes. At this work were evaluated the changes in blood constituents (cells and other components) generated by standing laparotomies followed by small colon enterotomies. The approach was made in left flank after sedation of horses with romifidine clorhidrate (80 mg.kg-1 , intravenously). The incision line in abdominal wall was infiltrated with 2% lidocaine in two different deep layers. The lateral thoracic nerve was blockade with 2% lidocaine too. The enteromies were made in ant mesenteric band of small colon. After exposition of intestinal loop, enterotomy and suture, the viscera was replaced to abdominal cavity, following the wall suture. The venous blood samples were obtained immediately before the surgical intervention and each subsequent 24 hours, for 3 days. The cell count used erythrocytes, leucocytes, basto neutrophyls and packed cell volume. The plasmatic concentration of protein, fibrinogen and hemoglobin were measured too. Variations in erythrocytes and hemoglobin results in an arise with statistic significance. The values of protein and fibrinogen as well leucocytes and bastoned neutrophils showed statistic differences. It was concluded that the cells and other values changed in a way to demonstrate an acute inflammatory pathology, compatible with an infectious syndrome, however without match with clinical status of healthy showed by horses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
