Description of a PC-Program "Cardiology for the Veterinary Practice", title "Kardiag", with Illustrations and a report of a congenital heart disease in a one year old, male, Newfoundland dog, with the use of the described PC-Program. After euthanasia an autopsy was performed which verified the clinical diagnosis.
Comparisons to older educational methods are drawn. Common aspects of computer supported programs and their handling at training and development for the practice are being discussed. Different problems of new methods of informatics are shown.
In clinical studies in dogs of all categories of age, which were predicted for surgical purposes under a combination anaesthesia with Fluanisone/Fentanyl/Nitrous oxide/Halothane, investigations after treatment with atropine or glycopyrrolate were performed. In experimental studies investigations about heart-rate and heart work (rate-pressure-product RPP) under different injection anaesthesia-methods (Fluanisone/Fentanyl/Metomidate, Climazolam/Fentanyl, Xylazine/l-Methadone) are performed. In the clinical studies many of the dogs produce elevated heart-rates after anticholinergic premedication. After special indicated treatment of dysrhythmias with glycopyrrolate or atropine in all cases normorhythmia can be achieved. An increase in heart rate during awaking time can be seen in non premedicated as well as in anticholinergic treated animals for a short period of time. In the experimental studies the anticholinergic treatment leads to increased heart rate and/or elevated arterial pressure, which produce an enormous increase in the rate pressure product and oxygen consumption. In conclusion a general anticholinergic premedication can not be recommended. Its use should be special indicated for bradycardia and/or dysrhythmias in the sense of AV-conduction disturbances.
Case report concerning therapeutic pacemaker implantation in a 3 year old West-Highland-White terrier with Adams-Stokes syncopes. EKG's, X-ray-pictures, illustrations of the pulse rate and quality and oxygen measurements with a "Pulsoximeter" before and during surgery are shown. A special place takes the report of selection and control of the anesthesia in this case of a special operation. 17 references and 11 pictures.
