What is Respiratory distress in small animals: Pathophysiology and clinical approach about?
## Background: Respiratory distress is a common reason for animals to present to the emergency room. an understanding of respiratory physiology is helpful to facilitate accurate localization of the patient's source of respiratory distress. this knowledge will aid implementation of more appropriate therapies. ## Physiology/pathophysiology summary: Respiratory distress can occur secondary to lesions at any location of the respiratory system. diseases affecting different portions of the respiratory track (eg, upper airway, lower airways, parenchymal, or the pleural space) lead to distinguishing clinical signs as the patient's respiratory physiology is affected differently. ## Clinical importance: Respiratory distress can be life-threatening if it is not recognized and addressed in a timely matter. prompt recognition of unique clinical signs may aid the clinician's ability to localize the disease process and implement targeted therapies. ## Key points: Diseases affecting different portions of the respiratory track (eg, upper airway, lower airways, parenchymal, or the pleural space) lead to distinguishing clinical signs as the patient's respiratory physiology is affected differently. re
