Following diaphragmatic herniorrhaphy, three cats developed a continuous pneumothorax. All three cats required continuous suction to evacuate air from the thoracic cavity. Despite continuous suction, the pneumothorax persisted for all cats and blood patch pleurodesis (BPP) was performed using blood donor cats. All three cats had resolution of their pneumothorax within 24 h of BPP.
This is the first report of BPP used in feline patients. More recently autologous BPP has been reported for use in dogs and humans, with a reportedly high success rate. BPP may allow timely resolution of continuous pneumothorax in cats and provide an alternative treatment option to prolonged medical management or surgical intervention. Allogenic blood from a donor cat may be necessitated in feline BPP when cardiovascular instability is appreciated in these small patients.
在膈疝修补术后,三只猫出现了持续性气胸。所有三只猫都需要持续吸引以排出胸腔内的空气。尽管持续吸引,所有猫的气胸仍持续存在,于是使用供血猫进行了血液补片胸膜固定术(BPP)。所有三只猫在BPP后24小时内气胸均得到缓解。
这是关于BPP用于猫科动物患者的首次报告。最近有报道称自体BPP可用于犬类和人类,成功率据报道很高。BPP可能使猫的持续性气胸得到及时缓解,并为长期药物治疗或手术干预提供替代治疗选择。当在这些小型患者中发现心血管不稳定时,猫的BPP可能需要来自供血猫的同种异体血液。
