This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Case 1 Teat Laceration, Intra-Op During Procedure, Palpation Sinus, 5. The affected teat can be draped using a slit drape so that it protrudes from the opening in the drape. Step 6 6. The wound edges should be freshened to remove any devitalized tissue and foreign material., Mammary Surgery Surgical Procedure Teat Laceration Repair, Udder Examination Detailed Examination of Udder, 8. Hemorrhage should be controlled because blood clots in the lumen of the teat delay healing by making milking painful and difficult for the animal. Step 9 9. The wound edges should be apposed under as little tension as possible., 3. The udder and surrounding teats should be washed thoroughly Step 4 4. Harsh Disinfectants should be avoided as this can cause further tissue necrosis if the lacerated tissue is contacted., Post-Operative Includes Farmer Client Communication, Post-Op Drugs Involves Antibiotics, Secretion CMT, Pre-Operative Includes Area Prep, Pre-Operative Drugs Such as Prophylaxis, Teat Laceration Repair Types of Laceration, Palpation Skin, Antibiotics Intramammary antibiotics, 1. Hemorrhage and milk flow should be controlled by using a rubber tourniquet to the base of the teat. Step 2 2. If lacerations involve the base of the teat suturing has to be performed without the benefit of the tourniquet, 16. The tourniquet should be removed following closure of the laceration. Step 17 17. Using gentle hand pressure it is applied to the teat and the suture line should be checked for milk leakage, Inspection Symmetry, 15. The suture should be placed so the deep bite is adjacent to the previously placed submucosal suture and the superficial layer is shallow. Step 16 16. The tourniquet should be removed following closure of the laceration., Antibiotics Pen-Strep
