Nebulized Adrenaline in the Postoperative Management of Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome in a Pug.
J Am Anim Hosp Assoc. 2017 Mar/Apr;53(2):107-110
Authors: Ellis J, Leece EA
Abstract
Brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome is a common problem in certain breeds, and may necessitate surgical procedures, such as rhinoplasty, palatoplasty, laryngeal sacculectomy, and/or arytenoid laryngoplasty, to improve the quality of life. However, laryngeal edema may necessitate the use of temporary tracheostomy tubes postoperatively to maintain a patent airway. This case demonstrates that administration of nebulized adrenaline in the immediate postoperative period where upper airway obstruction is life threatening can be used to reduce edema, therefore avoiding the need for tracheostomy.
