Evaluation of risk factors, including fluconazole administration, for prolonged anesthetic recovery times in horses undergoing general anesthesia for ocular surgery: 81 cases (2006-2013).

OBJECTIVE--To determine risk factors for prolonged anesthetic recovery time in horses that underwent general anesthesia for ocular surgery. DESIGN--Retrospective cohort study. ANIMALS--81 horses that underwent general anesthesia for ocular surgery between 2006 and 2013.

A model for clinical evaluation of perioperative analgesia in rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus).

Assessment of pain in rabbits is challenging, and studies of effective surgical analgesia are lacking for this species. Seeking potential indicators of postoperative pain, we performed ovariohysterectomy and telemeter placement as a form of moderate surgical injury in 20 female rabbits. Rabbits were assigned to 1 of 4 treatment groups (5 per group): buprenorphine (0.

Ischemic postconditioning does not attenuate ischemia-reperfusion injury of rabbit small intestine.

Objective: To determine whether ischemic postconditioning can attenuate intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) injury and has a beneficial effect on tissue blood flow during reperfusion.

Study Design: In vivo experimental study.

Animals: New Zealand White rabbits (n=6).

Use of wound soaker catheters for the administration of local anesthetic for post-operative analgesia: 56 cases.

Objective: To describe the administration of local anesthetic through wound soaker catheters for post-operative veterinary patients and to characterize complications.

Study Design: Retrospective study of hospital records.

Animals: Records of patients in which a wound soaker catheter was placed post-operatively between November 1, 2004 and July 1, 2006 at a veterinary teaching hospital.
