How to Perform Equine Intravenous Digital Perfusion

Sepsis of the distal limb of the horse carries a poor prognosis for return to function. The eradication of infection before irreversible damage to critical structures occurs will help return horses to athletic function, and it will also increase their survival rate. An intravenous digital perfusion technique for the eradication of naturally occurring digital sepsis in the horse is described. Au...

How to Perform Regional Limb Perfusion in the Standing Horse

Infection of the synovial structures of the equine extremity is a common complication of lacerations and athletic injuries of the horse. Iatrogenic infection of the carpus, tarsus, metacarpal/metatarsal– phalangeal joints and distal interphalangeal joint subsequent to intra-articular injection often are career-ending or life-threatening. Regional limb perfusion by intramedullary administration ...

How we perform myocardial perfusion with cardiovascular magnetic resonance.

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance first-pass perfusion imaging has developed considerably over the past decade. Several studies have shown that this technique is accurate for the detection of myocardial ischemia. In this article we outline the procedure of myocardial perfusion imaging with cardiovascular magnetic resonance as it is performed at our centers, describe the sequences that are curre...

How to perform an amniocentesis.

Amniocentesis is a technique for withdrawing amniotic fluid from the uterine cavity using a needle, via a transabdominal approach and under continuous ultrasound guidance, in order to obtain a sample of fetal exfoliated cells, transudates, urine or secretions. It can be performed from 16 weeks of pregnancy onwards, with various chromosomal, biochemical, molecular and microbial studies being per...
