Edema pulmonar em gatos

Edema pulmonar em gatos

Abstract

O edema pulmonar é uma emergência médica que resulta de um distúrbio hemodinâmico de um ou mais sistemas. Tem um desenvolvimento agudo ou progressivo, mas com descompensação rápida que necessita de uma resposta imediata do médico veterinário. Este trabalho resultou de um estudo retrospectivo de uma amostra de onze gatos diagnosticados com edema pulmonar no Hospital VetSet, em Palmela e no Hospital do Atlântico, em Mafra, tendo sido feita a análise dos processos clínicos, dos exames complementares de diagnóstico realizados (radiografias torácicas e ecocardiogramas). Os principais objetivos foram: identificar a causa de edema pulmonar mais frequente; os sinais mais comuns; os padrões radiográficos, a distribuição pulmonar e simetria do edema pulmonar apresentados; associar o vertebral heart size (VHS) com o tipo de edema pulmonar encontrado; avaliar a gravidade do edema pulmonar; identificar o tratamento médico mais utilizado e quantificar o tempo de internamento e a sua necessidade. As características pulmonares mais frequentemente encontradas no exame radiográfico foram: o padrão misto (brônquico-intersticial ou interstício-alveolar), a distribuição uniforme difusa, maioritariamente simétrica e com grandes alterações de edema pulmonar. As causas de edema pulmonar mais prevalentes neste estudo foram de origem cardíaca ou mista. Nestes verificou-se um aumento do VHS, enquanto nos restantes casos (causa não cardíaca) apresentavam VHS apresentava-se normal ou com um aumento discreto. Pelo estudo ecocardiográfico verificou-se que as afeções cardíacas mais encontradas foram a hipertrofia do ventrículo esquerdo e a dilatação atrial esquerda. Os sinais mais frequentes foram a dispneia, a taquipneia, a taquicardia, a presença de fervores e de sopro sistólico. Já o tratamento de primeira linha continua a ser o recurso a diuréticos da ansa, seguido dos inibidores da enzima de conversão da angiotensina (IECAs) em casos de causa cardiogénica ou mista e de medicação dirigida a afeções secundárias. Para alívio dos sinais respiratórios e de ansiedade recorreu-se à oxigenoterapia e sedação. O internamento, quando necessário, foi de curta duração e os animais eutanasiados foram-no pela afeção primária causadora do edema pulmonar e não por esta complicação. Apesar da amostra de animais do estudo ter sido pequena, os resultados obtidos foram concordantes com a literatura existente.

ABSTRACT - Pulmonary edema is a medical emergency that results from a hemodynamic disorder of one or more systems. It has an acute or progressive development, but with rapid decompensation that needs immediate response from the veterinarian. This study was the result of a retrospective study of a sample of eleven cats diagnosed with pulmonary edema at VetSet Hospital in Palmela and at Atlântico Hospital in Mafra. The clinical processes, the complementary diagnostic tests (chest X-rays and echocardiograms) were analyzed. The main objectives were: to identify the cause of the most frequent pulmonary edema; the most common signs; the radiographic patters, pulmonary distribution and symmetry of pulmonary edema presented; associate the vertebral heart size (VHS) with the type of pulmonary edema found; assess the severity of pulmonary edema; identify the most commonly used medical treatment and quantify the lenght of stay and its need. The pulmonary characteristis most frequently found on radiographic examination were: mixed pattern (bronchial-intersticial or intersticial-alveolar), diffuse uniform distribution, mostly symmetrical and with large changes in pulmonary edema. The most prevalente causes of pulmonary edema in this study were of cardiac or mixed origin. In these cases, there was an increase in VHS, while the remaining cases (noncardiac cause) had normal ou slightly increased VHS. The echocardiographic study showed that the most common cardiac pathologies were left ventricular hypertrophy and left atrial dilatation. The signs more frequent were dyspnea, tachypnea, tachycardia, the presence of fervors and systolic murmur. First-line treatment remains the use of loop diuretics followed by angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (IECAs) in cases of cardiogenic or mixed cause and medication directed to secondary pathologies. To relieve respiratory signs and anxiety, oxygen therapy and sedation were used. Hospitalization, when necessary, was short and euthanized animals were due to the primary pathology that caused pulmonary edema and not to this complication. Although the sample of animals in this study was small, the results obtained were consistente with the literature.
