Roux‐en‐Y gastrojejunostomy and jejunojejunostomy for pyloric obstruction bypass in a horse and a foal

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Gastric outflow obstruction in horses is a rare but challenging condition, often resulting from either congenital anomalies or acquired lesions such as chronic ulceration or pyloric polyps. Conventional surgical bypass procedures, including gastrojejunostomy (GJ) or gastroduodenostomy and less commonly duodenojejunostomy, can ...

Nosocomial Pneumonia in the Mechanically Ventilated Patient

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2022
AbstractVentilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a common complication occurring in critically ill patients who are mechanically ventilated and is the leading cause of nosocomial infection-related death. Etiologic agents for VAP widely differ based on the population of intensive care unit patients, duration of hospital stay, and prior antimicrobial ...

Mechanical Ventilation of the Anesthetized Patient

Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North America, 2015
Patients who require general anesthesia to undergo a surgical procedure often require mechanical ventilation during the perioperative period. Ventilators incorporated into modern anesthesia machines offer various options for patient management. The unique effects of general anesthesia and surgery on pulmonary physiology must be considered when ...
