The incidence of hypoxemia in dogs recovering from general anesthesia detected with pulse-oximetry and related risk factors.

The postoperative period is critical for the development of complications, including hypoxemia. To detect hypoxemia early and provide appropriate care, continuous monitoring of saturation is necessary: pulse oximetry is an easily accessible and simple method for this purpose. However, a SpO cut-off value to detect hypoxemia in dogs recovering from general anesthesia is lacking in the veterinary literature.

Use of Laryngeal Mask and Anesthetic Management in Hamadryas Baboons () Undergoing Laparoscopic Salpingectomy-A Case Series.

The study aims to describe the anesthetic and airway management of baboons undergoing laparoscopic salpingectomy with a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) device. Eleven baboons received tiletamine-zolazepam and medetomidine; anesthesia was induced with propofol. An LMA was positioned for oxygen and isoflurane administration in spontaneous respiration.

Evaluation of a constant rate intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine on the duration of a femoral and sciatic nerve block using lidocaine in dogs.

Objectives: This study investigated the effects of 1 μg/kg/h intravenous constant rate infusion (CRI) of dexmedetomidine on the sensory and motor blockade for femoral and sciatic nerve blocks in dogs undergoing stifle surgery.

Materials And Methods: Client-owned dogs referred for stifle surgery were enrolled in this prospective, randomized, blinded study. Dogs were pre-medicated with acepromazine (0.

Comparison of Two Radiofrequency Vessel-Sealing Device for Laparoscopic Ovariectomy in African Lionesses (Panthera Leo).

To evaluate two vessel-sealing devices with different jaw lengths for dissecting ovaries in adult obese African lionesses undergoing laparoscopic ovariectomy. Twelve lionesses ( = 12) were recruited. The surgical procedures were performed through three portals, with a retractor platform positioned at the umbilical port and cannulas placed 3-4 cm cranial and caudal to the device at the level of the midline.

Wound Retractor Laparoscopic Port System for Laparoscopic Ovariectomy in .

The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and intraoperative complications of performing ovariectomies in African lionesses () using a wound retractor laparoscopic platform. Six lionesses ( = 6) were included. The surgical procedures were carried out through three portals, with a retractor platform positioned at the umbilical port and cannulas placed 3-4 cm from the cranial and caudal regions to the device at the level of the midline.
