OBJECTIVE: To describe metabolic, arterial blood gas, and acid-base disorders in calves with BP diagnosed by thoracic ultrasound (TUS), Wisconsin score (WISC), and combinations of WISC and TUS.
METHODS: Two hundred thirty-one dairy preweaned dairy calves from 13 dairy farms.
METHODS: Cross-sectional study. Each calf sequentially underwent arterial blood gas evaluation, WISC score, venous sampling, and TUS. Calves were grouped based on a single diagnostic method and combination of WISC and 2 TUS cutoffs (≥1 cm; ≥3 cm) as healthy, upper respiratory tract infection, subclinical BP, and clinical BP.
RESULTS: Oxygenation and acid-base variables were unaffected. Glucose concentration in TUS-affected calves was significantly lower (P < .001) than in healthy calves (median ≥TUS1cm = 5.2 mmol/L 25%-75% interquartile range [IQR] 4.5-6.1,
目的:描述代谢,动脉血气,和通过胸部超声(TUS)诊断为BP的小牛的酸碱紊乱,威斯康星州得分(WISC),以及WISC和TUS的组合。
方法:来自13个奶牛场的两百三十一只断奶前奶牛。
方法:横断面研究。每只小牛依次接受动脉血气评估,WISC得分,静脉取样,还有TUS.小牛根据单一诊断方法和WISC和2个TUS截断值(≥1厘米;≥3厘米)的组合被分组为健康的,上呼吸道感染,亚临床血压,和临床血压。
结果:氧合和酸碱变量不受影响。受TUS影响的小牛的葡萄糖浓度显着低于健康小牛(中位数≥TUS1cm=5.2mmol/L25%-75%四分位数范围[IQR]4.5-6.1,
