- 动物科学动物科学
- 兽医流行病学 兽医流行病学
背景情况:
- 马的身体状况显著影响其整体健康,生殖能力和运动表现.
- 肥胖和马代谢综合征 (EMS) 是尼日利亚马匹普遍存在的健康问题.
- 马主早期识别马的身体状况对于预防EMS等与肥胖有关的疾病至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 评估马主对马的身体状况得分 (BCS) 和部得分 (CNS) 的估计的准确性.
- 将所有者评估与兽医评估进行比较,以确定身体状况评分中的差异.
主要方法:
- 50只成年西非巴布马及其主人参与了这项研究.
- 没有事先接受兽医培训的业主使用提供的视觉辅助工具评估了马的BCS (1-9级) 和CNS (0-5级).
- 一位经验丰富的兽医独立评估了同一匹马的BCS和CNS.
主要成果:
- 对于BCS,所有者和兽医之间存在轻微的一致性 (k=0.209),而对于中枢神经系统则存在中等的一致性 (k=0.547).
- 兽医的评估表明,与业主估计 (18%) 相比,肥胖患病率 (32%) 更高.

01:29Assessment of the Cardiovascular System II: Inspection
236
Inspection is the initial step in assessing the cardiovascular system. It involves a detailed visual examination that provides crucial information about a patient's circulatory and cardiac health. This systematic process, conducted from head to toe, helps identify signs of cardiovascular conditions by observing physical appearance, skin and mucous membranes, jugular and carotid pulsations, chest symmetry, and the condition of the extremities.

Palpation involves feeling the body to evaluate texture, size, consistency, and tenderness for assessing cardiovascular health. The following steps are organized in a head-to-toe order:
Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Measurement
Position the patient at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle or in a semi-fowler's position. Look for the highest point of pulsation in the internal jugular vein and measure the vertical distance to the angle of Loius or sternal angle. A normal JVP is 3-4 cm above...

722
When assessing blood pressure (BP), healthcare professionals must consider various factors and potential unexpected outcomes to ensure accurate readings and provide proper patient care. Adhering to these guidelines is essential to achieving the most reliable results.
Monitoring Both Arms:
Monitoring BP in both arms during the initial assessment is advisable, as the systolic value may differ by five to ten mm Hg between arms. For subsequent BP assessments, use the arm with the higher reading.
