Abstract
Mechanical intestinal obstruction in dogs is quite common and is usually a lifethreatening condition. In an emergency situation, the basic protocol is to analyze the hematology and biochemistry. Therefore, finding a blood marker that could guide the veterinarian to a specific etiology (foreign body, intussusception or neoplasm) would be helpful for the upcoming surgery and prognosis. The majority of mechanical intestinal obstruction are due to foreign body. This study analyzed a sample of 76 dogs, of which 50 had a diagnosis of foreign body, 10 had intussusception, and 13 had neoplasm. A decrease of hemoglobin, monocytes and bilirubin could imply a non-neoplastic obstruction (in 72% a foreign body and in 80% an intussusception), whereas this decrease is only 38% chances for a neoplasm. A decrease below the reference value of the hematocrit and/or the erythrocytes level suggest more a neoplasm than a foreign body. Results of this study indicate that preoperative blood analysis can point with certain accuracy to the underlying cause of obstruction and assist other methods to make more confident decision about the emergency of the condition. The most common surgeries for foreign body cases are enterotomies whereas for neoplasm and intussusception, it is mainly resection and anastomosis, depending on the viability of the intestines.
Abstract (croatian)
Mehanički začep crijeva pasa vrlo je česta i po život opasna pojava. U hitnim slučajevima osnovni protokol je provedba prijeoperacijske hematološke i biokemijske analize. Stoga bi pronalaženje krvnog pokazatelja koji bi mogao usmjeriti veterinara prema specifičnoj etiologiji (strano tijelo, invaginacija ili novotvorevina) bilo od pomoći za predstojeću operaciju i prognozu. Većina mehaničkih crijevnih opstrukcija uzrokovana je stranim tijelom. Ovo istraživanje analiziralo je uzorak od 76 pasa, od kojih je 50 imalo dijagnozu stranog tijela, 10 invaginaciju, a 13 novotvorevinu. Sniženje razine hemoglobina, monocita i bilirubina moglo bi značiti ne-neoplastičnu opstrukciju (u 72% slučajeva ukazuje na strano tijelo, a u 80% na invaginaciju), dok ovo smanjenje predstavlja samo 38% mogućnosti za novotvorevinu. Pad ispod referentne vrijednosti hematokrita i/ili razine eritrocita više ukazuje na novotvorevinu nego na strano tijelo. Rezultati ove studije pokazuju da analiza krvi prije operacije može s određenom točnošću ukazati na temeljni uzrok opstrukcije i pomoći drugim metodama u donošenju pouzdanije odluke o hitnosti stanja. Najčešći kirurški zahvati za slučajeve stranog tijela su enterotomije, dok su za novotvorevine i invaginaciju uglavnom resekcija i anastomoza, ovisno o vitalnosti crijeva.
