One-lung ventilation with use of a double lumen tube in two dogs; when right might be wrong.

One-lung ventilation (OLV) is an anaesthetic technique utilised for improved visualisation and access of the surgical field during thoracoscopy. The authors present two cases that underwent OLV with use of a double lumen tube (DLT). The first case was intubated with endoscopic guidance for bronchial port intubation of the right mainstem bronchus.

Opioid-free anaesthesia in three dogs.

Opioid-free anaesthesia (OFA) is a relatively new and growing field in human medicine. There are multiple motivations behind this emerging practice with the recognition of several serious potential opioid-related adverse effects including opioid induced hyperalgesia, opioid tolerance and immunomodulatory effects of opioids. Opioids have long been the mainstay of veterinary anaesthesia and pain management practice.

The effect of user experience and inflation technique on endotracheal tube cuff pressure using a feline airway simulator.

Objective: The effect of user experience and inflation technique on endotracheal tube cuff pressure using a feline airway simulator.

Study Design: Prospective, experimental clinical study.

Methods: Participants included veterinary students at the beginning (group S1) and end (group S2) of their 2-week anaesthesia rotation and veterinary anaesthetists (group A).

Cardiovascular effects of intravenous gadolinium administration to anaesthetized dogs undergoing magnetic resonance imaging.

Objective: To assess changes in heart rate and arterial blood pressure following intravenous (IV) gadolinium-based contrast media administration to sevoflurane-anaesthetized dogs undergoing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Study Design: Prospective clinical study.

Animals: Fifty client-owned dogs (31 male, 19 female; aged 6-156 months; weighing 4.

A comparison of the effects of two different doses of ketamine used for co-induction of anaesthesia with a target-controlled infusion of propofol in dogs.

Objective: To assess the cardiorespiratory and hypnotic-sparing effects of ketamine co-induction with target-controlled infusion of propofol in dogs.

Study Design: Prospective, randomized, blinded clinical study.

Animals: Ninety healthy dogs (ASA grades I/II).
