RESUMEN
The medical records of 59 puppies from 6 hospitals undergoing mechanical ventilation (MV) between 2006 and 2020 were reviewed to describe the signalment, underlying disease, duration of ventilation, and outcome. The most common underlying diseases were pneumonia (n = 18), non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema (n = 16), and trauma (n = 8). Twenty-six (44%) puppies were weaned from the ventilator. The overall survival rate was 39% (23/59) including 19 non-brachycephalic dogs and 4 brachycephalics. Median duration of mechanical ventilation was 27 hours (range: 4 to 144 hours). Brachycephalic dogs were less likely to survive than nonbrachycephalic dogs (P = 0.032). English bulldogs were over-represented with pneumonia. No association between age and survival to discharge (P = 0.716) or outcome (P = 0.579) was detected. The survival rate, and underlying disease process and severity for mechanically ventilated puppies was similar to previous studies in adult dogs.
Indications et issues chez les chiots sous ventilation mécanique : 59 cas (2006 à 2020). Les dossiers médicaux de 59 chiots de six hôpitaux soumis à une ventilation mécanique (VM) entre 2006 et 2020 ont été examinés pour décrire le signalement, la maladie sous-jacente, la durée de la ventilation et le résultat. Les maladies sous-jacentes les plus courantes étaient la pneumonie (n = 18), l'oedème pulmonaire non cardiogénique (n = 16) et les traumatismes (n = 8). Vingt-six (44 %) chiots ont été sevrés du ventilateur. Le taux de survie global était de 39 % (23/59) dont 19 chiens non brachycéphales et quatre brachycéphales. La durée médiane de la ventilation mécanique était de 27 heures (intervalle : 4 à 144 heures). Les chiens brachycéphales étaient moins susceptibles de survivre que les chiens non brachycéphales (P = 0,032). Les bouledogues anglais étaient surreprésentés avec la pneumonie. Aucune association entre l'âge et la survie à la sortie (P = 0,716) ou le résultat (P = 0,579) n'a été détectée. Le taux de survie, ainsi que le processus et la gravité de la maladie sous-jacente chez les chiots ventilés mécaniquement étaient similaires à ceux des études précédentes chez les chiens adultes.(Traduit par Dr Serge Messier).

OBJECTIVE: To describe the use of extracorporeal therapy (ECT) in the management of a dog with complications stemming from heatstroke. CASE REVIEW: A 3-year-old intact male Rhodesian Ridgeback was presented for heat-related illness following strenuous exercise. Despite intensive supportive care, the dog developed progressive and refractory hyperkalemia, hypoglycemia, neurologic dysfunction, acute kidney injury (AKI), and pulmonary dysfunction. Four ECT sessions were performed in this dog, consisting of 4 intermittent hemodialysis (HD) sessions, the first 2 of which concurrently utilized hemoperfusion with a cytokine adsorption filter. Interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-8, IL-10, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 were detected in samples collected during the first ECT session. Despite an initial decrease in their concentration, the concentrations of these cytokines ultimately rose over the course of the ECT session. Rapid and sustained glycemic and electrolyte control were achieved after the first ECT session, although AKI and muscle injury persisted. The dog survived to discharge and was nonazotemic 3 months following initial management. NEW OR UNIQUE INFORMATION PROVIDED: Heatstroke is a common, potentially catastrophic, occurrence in dogs. To the authors' knowledge, this represents the first clinical use of ECT consisting of HD and cytokine adsorption in the management of severe heat-related illness in a dog. The use of ECT for the management of complications from severe heatstroke in dogs warrants further investigation.
