This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Prosthetic laryngoplasty - horse, TX OF LARYNGEAL HEMIPLEGIA how to dx it? grading system*, COMPLICATIONS other complications Tracheitis, Coughing (aspiration of food) which can lead to aspiration pneumonia, increase in inflammatory airway disease (IAD)* can lead to interruption of training, COMPLICATIONS other complications loss of arytenoid opening due to loosening or breaking of the suture, EQUINE PROSTHETIC LARYNGOPLASTY (EPL) (TIE BACK) Why do it? TX OF LARYNGEAL HEMIPLEGIA, TX OF LARYNGEAL HEMIPLEGIA how to dx it? Dx RLN*, Left-sided laryngeal hemiplegia* after surgery, there is enough airflow to the horse to perform its intended use w/o complications, COMPLICATIONS EPL increase in inflammatory airway disease (IAD)*, TX OF LARYNGEAL HEMIPLEGIA what is it/how does it occur? unilateral paralysis of the arytenoid cartilage, EQUINE PROSTHETIC LARYNGOPLASTY (EPL) (TIE BACK) Before we do it.. COMPLICATIONS, INDICATIONS for EPL maintenance of a stable glottis, COMPLICATIONS EPL increase in exercise- induced pulmonary haemorrage (EIPH)*, PROCEDURE* to know what is abnormal, we must know what is normal... ANATOMY OF THE EQUINE LARYNX, COMPLICATIONS EPL Does not produce a completely normal airway, Left-sided laryngeal hemiplegia* another tx ventriculocordectomy (removal of vocal cords), increase in exercise- induced pulmonary haemorrage (EIPH)* can lead to early retirement of the horse*, maintenance of a stable glottis example: as a tx of Left-sided laryngeal hemiplegia*, COMPLICATIONS other complications Infection of inplant, increase in inflammatory airway disease (IAD)* can lead to impaired performance
