This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Group 3 Lab 2 Dehorning- Disbudding- Epidural- Paravertebral Block, Disbudding and Dehorning Procedure Requires Different Equipment, Proper Pnhysical Restraint Includes A Goat stanchion, Equipment Injection 20mL Syringe, Requires Drugs For Sedation Xylazine, Anaethetising the spinal nerves at the dorso-caudal aspect of the last thoracic (T13), first lumbar (L1) and second lumbar (L2) vertebrae ???? follows, Care is taken when preparing the site for the procedure. Using either a scalpel blade or electric clippers, hair is removed from around the base of the bud and the site(s) needed for nerve block. The area is swabbed with alcohol. At the same time If utilizing a rhinehart dehorner it should be plugged in and allowed to start heating up, 7) The heel should be trimmed until it is the same level as the toe. this should be trimmed off one slice at a time as it is soft ???? 8) In the case where there is pink showing at the sole of the hoof, this indicates that the trimmer is too close to the blood supply and therefore should discontinue, 3. Shave the appropriate area to remove the hair and clean with an alcohol swab ???? 4. Introduce the needle alone vertically into the intervertebral space identified and apply the hanging drop technique to assess needle placement, 3) Utilize the point of a closed Hoof shears/Hoof knife to scrape away any dirt of debris ???? 4) Begin snipping off the outer hoof walls (lateral and medial) if there is inward or outward flaps under the hoof., Epidural Anaesthesia Has complications and contraindications such as Spinal paralysis is not a complication of epidural anaesthesia however, contraindications include ataxia, recumbency, poor gait as the anaesthetic agent diffuses throughout the coccygeal space (especially if larger volumes are used- there is the increased risk of motor paralysis), Requires Different Equipment For Restraint Halter And Lead Rope, Disbudding and Dehorning May have potential complications such as Bleeding, Materials Antisepsis of the Injection Site Isopropyl Alcohol Swabs, Requires Different Equipment For Dehorning The Animal Gigli Wire, Disbudding and Dehorning Consider our lab scenario Disbudding in a 50kg Calf, 6. Remove the needle, hold off the site to prevent bleeding and then massage the area for 30 seconds to aid in drug dispersal ???? 7. After 10 minutes, assess the efficacy of the epidural by assessing the tail tone (should now be flaccid and easily lifted) and by pricking the area around the anus\vulva with a hypodermic needle (animal should exhibit no response), Rhinehart dehorner should be firmly placed over the buds and allowed to burn the area in ten second intervals with breaks in between until a brown ring is formed. Post procedure, After care must be done Assess whether animal needs post-procedural pain management, Equipment and Materials Drugs, 2) Grasp the working leg by the pastern and face it cuadally ???? 3) Utilize the point of a closed Hoof shears/Hoof knife to scrape away any dirt of debris, The selected goat was physically restrained using a halter and lead rope (See Equipment No. 2) ???? Following, T13, L1 and L2 were palpated by their spinous processes caudally and the Procedures 7-9 were followed as with T13. 4mL were injected in the intervertebral space between L1 and L2 and L2 and L3 respectively.
