Viabilidade da pnemonectomia direita em cães (Canis falimilaris): uma avaliação paramétrica, hemogasométrica, ecocardiográfica, radiográfica, broncoscópica e da mecânica respiratória / Viability of right pneumonectomy in the dogs (Canis familiaris): a parametric, hemogasometric, echocardiographic, radiographic, broncoscopic and respiratory mechanical evaluation

In dogs, the evidence of the viability of right pneumonectomy, as well as the study of the complications resulting from surgical procedure, are very important against the small quantity of specific studies on pneumonectomy in this species. The objective of this project was carrying out an experimental study to evaluate the viability of right pneumonectomy in dogs, through parametric, hemogasometric, echocardiographic, radiographic, broncoscopic and mechanical respiratory evaluation. Ten adult mongrel, healthy dogs, both male and female were utilited weighing from 13 to 32 kg. The dogs were submitted to selective intubation and right thoracotomy at the 5th intercostal space, where the pneumonectomy was performed. A temporal study was made in 7, 30 and 60 days after the surgery, where echocardiographic, radiografic and bronchoscopic evaluation were done. The parametric and hemogasometric evaluations was made before anesthetic induction, one hour after extubation, in 48 hour, seven, 30 and 60 days after the surgical procedure. The mechanical respiratory evaluation was before anesthetic induction, during surgery, 48 hour, seven, 30 and 60 days after the surgical procedure. These evaluations were considered important to determine the probable complications connected to the anesthetic, surgical techniques, as well as the resulting complications from these procedures. The results were analyzed statistically. Besides the alterations of the parametric, hemogasometric and mechanical respiratory rates, all the dogs presented compensations on the gaseous exchanges after removing right lung. Regarding the mechanical respiratory evaluation, the pulmonary volume has not changed accentually. There was an increase of the peak pressures and resistance of the respiratory tract due to the use of a double lumen probe and lung ressection. There wasnt any significant statistically difference on the levels of systolic and average pressure on the pulmonary trunk. However, some dogs showed light and transitory pulmonary hypertension, and the highest occurrence period happened 30 days after surgery. The fraction of ejection of the right ventricle remained normal during the study. However, at the same dogs who presented pulmonary hypertension, there was a significant decrease of the fraction of the right ventricle 60 days after surgery. On the radiographic evaluation, we have observed that the expansion of the remaining lung caused heart and lung displacement to the right hemithorax. Any signs of infection, dehiscence, fistula or suture stenosis in the main right bronchial stump were observed on the post-operative bronchoscopic images. It follows that the right pneumonectomy is completely feasible the dogs, allowing a parametric, hemogasometric, echocardiographic, radiographic, bronchoscopic and mechanical respiratory satisfactory evaluation in all the dogs.
