Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role, efficacy and safety of ultrasonographic and thoracoscopic method to determine the etiology of pleural effusion in dogs. It was compared to determine the consistency of the two methods. The present study was done on 8 dogs, with different breed, sex and age, suffering from respiratory problem sent for treatment to Ankara University radiodiagnostical unit from private clinics with veterinary faculty andidentified pleural effusion by chest x-ray. It was concluded that thoracoscopy is non-invasive diagnostic method and plays a key role in diagnostic evaluation of pleural effusion. Both methods should be applied together for determine the etiology of pleural effusion in dogs

Özet

Bu çalışmada, pleural efüzyon şekillenmiş olan köpeklerde, ultrasonografik (kalp dışı toraks ultrasonografsi, renkli doppler ekokardiografi ve abdominal ultrasonografi) ve torakoskopik tanı yönteminin pleural efüzyonun etiyolojisinin belirlenmesindeki rolü, etkinliği ve güvenirliliği değerlendirildi. İki yöntemin birbirleriyle olan tutarlılığı belirlendi Çalışmanın materyalini, veteriner fakültemiz ile özel veteriner kliniklerinden, radyodiagnostik ünitesine solunum şikayetiyle sevk edilen ve toraks grafisi ile pleural efüzyon tanısı konulan çeşitli ırk, yaş ve cinsiyette köpekler (n=8) oluşturdu. Pleural efüzyonun etiyolojisinin belirlenmesinde her iki tanı yönteminin birlikte kullanılması gerektiği, torakoskopinin non-invaziv bir tanı yöntemi olduğu ve tanıda kilit rol oynadığı kanısına varıldı
