2018 ACVIM Forum Research Abstract Program: Seattle, Washington, June 14 - 15, 2018

A total of 525 abdominal lymph nodes were readily identified on CT with caudal mesenteric, colic, hepatic, inguinal, and pancreaticoduodenal lymph nodes identified in 16/16 cats. Body weight and sex were not associated with differences in the overall number of lymph nodes identified (p =0.3845 and 0.8565, respectively). Lymph node size and shape varied between lymph "center"s with nearly all lymph nodes homogenously contrast enhancing (515/525). Significant negative correlations were identified between the length (p =0.0166) and width All hospitalized dogs treated with intravenous fluids during the study period were eligible for inclusion. The initial fluid therapy (rate [ml/kg/ d] and fluid type) and any in-hospital adjustments in fluid rate were recorded until discharge or death as well as the managing service (ECC, Surgery or ACVIM based specialty). Data normality was assessed using the Shapiro-Wilk test and analyzed with a t-test with a p < 0.05 considered significant.
