[Inhalation anesthesia in the cat: Development of cuff pressure when using nitrous oxide].

Objective: During inhalation anesthesia with nitrous oxide in oxygen the pressure in the cuff of the endotracheal tube may increase due to diffusion of nitrous oxide into the cuff. The aim of the study was to investigate the development of cuff pressure during nitrous oxide anesthesia under clinical conditions in feline patients and to identify possible influencing factors such as tube size and gas flow rate.

Material And Methods: The prospective study included cats scheduled for inhalation anesthesia with nitrous oxide for a minimum duration of 60 minutes at the Department for Small Animals of the University of Leipzig.

Variation of rectal temperature in dogs undergoing 3T-MRI in general anesthesia.

Objectives: Managing body temperature during MRI scanning under general anesthesia poses challenges for both human and veterinary patients, as many temperature monitoring devices and patient warming systems are unsuitable for the use inside an MRI scanner. MRI has the potential to cause tissue and body warming, but this effect may be counteracted by the hypothermia induced by general anesthesia and the low ambient temperature usually encountered in scanner rooms. This study aimed to observe temperature variations in dogs undergoing MRI under general anesthesia.

Canine Brucellosis: Insights Into the Epidemiologic Situation in Europe.

is one of many responsible pathogens of discospondylitis in dogs and infections require specific management. Little is known about the epidemiologic situation in Europe. The purpose of the study was to get insights into the occurrence of brucellosis in dogs in Europe.
