A Novel Ultrasound-Guided Cervical Plexus Block: A Cadaveric Canine Study.

The ultrasound-guided cervical plexus plane (US-CPP) block has proven effective in humans; yet its application in dogs remains unexplored. This study aimed to describe a novel US-CPP approach in canines. A local sonoanatomy was mapped, the injection technique was tested, and a gross anatomical dissection (GAD) was performed on one cadaver.

Anaesthetic mortality in cats: A worldwide analysis and risk assessment.

Background: Patient safety is essential in small animal anaesthesia. This study aimed to assess anaesthesia-related deaths in cats worldwide, identify risk and protective factors and provide insights for clinical practice.

Methods: A prospective multicentre cohort study of 14,962 cats from 198 veterinary centres across different countries was conducted.

Assessment of an Ultrasound-Guided Rectus Sheath Block in Foals: A Cadaveric Study.

In neonatal equines, pathologies involving umbilical structures are an important cause of morbidity, and surgical removal of urachal remnants is a common procedure in clinical practice. Surgery involving the ventral abdominal wall can cause substantial pain, leading to complications and prolonged recovery. The objectives of this study were to describe a two-point bilateral ultrasound-guided rectus sheath block at the level of the umbilicus and to evaluate the extent of dye distribution in foal cadavers.

Anaesthetic mortality in dogs: A worldwide analysis and risk assessment.

Background: Ensuring patient safety during small animal anaesthesia is crucial. This study aimed to assess anaesthetic-related deaths in dogs globally, identify risks and protective factors and inform clinical practice.

Methods: This prospective cohort multicentric study involved 55,022 dogs from 405 veterinary centres across various countries.
