LARYNGEAL COLLAPSE 4<br />
Presence <strong>of</strong> laryngeal collapse significantly<br />
increases the risk <strong>of</strong> post operative dyspnoea<br />
in some studies (White 2012)<br />
9/10 dogs with stage 3 collapse experienced<br />
post operative dyspnoea<br />
20% <strong>of</strong> stage 2 collapse<br />
Post operative dyspnoea in most larger BAS<br />
studies is in the range <strong>of</strong> 5-8% despite<br />
reported rates <strong>of</strong> laryngeal collapse <strong>of</strong> 55-65%<br />
Laryngeal collapse linked to multiple upper<br />
airway abnormalities (not identified in patients<br />
with elongated palate only e.g. CKCS Torrez<br />
2006)
