Specific Oral Surgical Emergencies
Supplies recommended for specific oral surgical emergencies are listed in Box 2.38.
Orthopedic Emergencies
Joint Irrigation and Drainage with Hypodermic Needles
Limb(s) must be clipped and prepared with antiseptic scrub prior to needle insertion. The patient should be positioned in opposed lateral recumbency of the affected limb. Traditionally, saline, or lactated Ringer’s solution and a pressure infusion bag are used to irrigate the joint (Box 2.39, Figure 2.40). Alternatively, a 60‐cc syringe and a large‐bore needle could be used, although pressure cannot be measured and is likely more time consuming than using a pressure bag.
Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical approach which provides full joint visualization by use of rigid arthroscopes. In some cases, arthroscopy can be more effective than traditional joint irrigation. Limb positioners, although not essential, offer advantages of proper patient positioning for easy surgical access and flexibility to adjust positioning without compromising sterility:
Stifle: dorsal.
Elbow: dorsal.
Shoulder: modified lateral.
