| description | The aim of this study was to see if an increased amount of gas could be seen in the small bowel of cats subjected to trauma and if measuring the amount of gas could be of any use in the clinical evaluation of the patient. When the peristaltic waves in the small bowel decreases due to neurological damage or chock the microorganisms of the gut grow in number and possibly produce more gas and toxins. When the cat is stressed it can swallow more air then usual, and the air that is in solution with the chyme in the lumen of the gut separates from the ingesta. When the bowel isn't moving it becomes easier for bacteria and toxins to penetrate the wall of the gut, and then get access to the bloodstream.
In the study the amount of gas in the small bowel was measured on radiographs of the abdomen were at least one lateral was obtained. The amount of gas along the small intestine was measured in cm, a ruler was used. The diameter was measured in mm and was not allowed to exceed 12 mm. The study was based on the assumption that in the normal cat there can be gas in <25% of the small bowel (12,5cm). In the study an increased amount of gas were seen in 11 of 79 cats subjected to trauma, increase in diameter was only seen in one cat. Most of the cats did well after their trauma, among the 23 cats that died or were euthanized an increased amount of gas were seen in 6 cases. No relation could be found between an increased amount of gas and the need of care or a specific clinical or radiological diagnosis. |

Studien har undersökt om en ökad gasmängd kunde ses i tunntarmen hos katter som utsatts för fysiskt trauma och om en uppskattning av den totala mängden gas i tarmen kunde ge någon prognostisk ledning vid den kliniska bedömningen av katten. Det finns flera orsaker till att gas ses i tunntarmen vid radiologisk undersökning av bukhålan. När tunntarmens motorik stannar av till följd av neurologisk skada eller vid påslag av det sympatiska nervsystemet ges mikroorganismer i lumen möjlighet att växa till och kan bilda ökad mängd gas. En stressad individ kan svälja luft och i den stillastående tarmen frigörs gas från ingestan. I en stillastående tarm är risken större att bakterier och toxiner invaderar tarmväggen och i ett senare skede når blodbanan. I studien uppskattades mängden gas som kunde ses i tunntarmen på röntgenbilder hos katter där minst en lateral projektion av bukhålan tagits. Gasens utbredning längs tunntarmen mättes i cm, linjal användes vid mätningarna. Tunntarmens diameter mättes i mm, uppmätt diameter fick ej överstiga 12 mm. Studien baserades vidare på antagandet att om det kan uppmätas gas i mer än 25% av tunntarmens längd, motsvarande 12,5cm har katten en ökad gasförekomst. Enligt resultatet av studien förekommer en ökad gasmängd i tunntarmen hos ett fåtal av de katter som utsatts för fysiskt trauma (11 av 79), ökad diameter sågs endast hos en individ. De flesta katterna tillfrisknade efter sitt trauma, bland de 23 katter som självdött/avlivats sågs ökad gasmängd hos sex individer. Ingen koppling kunde ses mellan ökad gasförekomst och ett ökat vårdbehov eller någon viss typ av klinisk eller radiologisk skada.
