Sx Rotation FINAL Questions and Correct
Answers/ Latest Update / Already
Graded
What is the goal of biological healing?
Ans: align fx while minimally disrupting surrounding extraosseous blood
suppply
Passive vs Active drains
Ans: passive (Penrose) rely on gravity/body movement/pressure
differentials
active (Jackson-Pratt) collect into a reservoir with negative pressure
What would qualify as improper drain placement?
,2 | Page
Ans: vascular damage,
spread of neoplastic cells,
infection,
dehiscence,
blockage,
elyte imbalance,
pneumothorax
Why are active drains preferred over passive drains?
Ans: decreased risk of ascending infection & skin excoriation, & accurate
assesment of fluid vol
What does brachycephalic airway syndrome include?
,3 | Page
Ans: stenotic nares,
elongated soft palate,
laryngeal collapse,

tracheal collapse/hypoplasia
A 5yr MI Bulldog presents for increased resp effort & exercise
intolerance. Oh by the way, he snores ALL the time - worse than his
dad. What is your dx?
Ans: brachycephalic airway syndrome
long term needs surgery to correct abnormalities
A 12yr FS Lab presents with lethargy, coughing, and dysnpea.
Thoracic rads show a mass in the right caudal lung lobe. What is this
mass most likely given your knowledge of primary lung tumors?
, 4 | Page
Ans: bronchoalveolar carcinoma/adenocarcinoma (>95% of primary
lung tumors)
What are positive prognositc indicators when dealing with primary
lung tumors?
Ans: well differentiated tumors,
no LN involvement,
single mass,
no preop C/S
T/F: During surgery for a lung lobe torsion, you rotate the lung before
removal.
Ans: FALSE - lung lobectomy without derotation
