Partial right ventriculectomy using the incised patch technique to treat double chambered right ventricle and chylothorax in a cat.

Objective: To report successful surgical treatment of double chambered right ventricle (DCRV) in a cat.

Study Design: Clinical report.

Animals: Cat with DCRV.

A comparison of the duration and quality of recovery from isoflurane, sevoflurane and desflurane anaesthesia in dogs undergoing magnetic resonance imaging.

Objective: To compare the recovery after anaesthesia with isoflurane, sevoflurane and desflurane in dogs undergoing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain.

Study Design: Prospective, randomized clinical trial.

Animals: Thirty-eight dogs weighing 23.

The isoflurane-sparing and clinical effects of a constant rate infusion of remifentanil in dogs.

Objective: To evaluate the isoflurane-sparing and clinical effects of two constant rate infusions of remifentanil in healthy dogs undergoing orthopaedic surgery.

Study Design: Prospective, randomized clinical study.

Animals: Forty-one American Society of Anesthesiologists I-II client-owned dogs (age, 7 months-9 years; body mass 11-59 kg).

The effect of hyoscine on dobutamine requirement in spontaneously breathing horses anaesthetized with halothane.

Objective: To determine whether hyoscine has a sparing effect on the volume of dobutamine required to maintain mean arterial pressure (MAP) at 70 mmHg in horses anaesthetized with halothane.

Study Design: Prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial.

Animals: Twenty adult horses weighing 507 +/- 97 kg (mean +/- SD), aged 10 +/- 5 years.

Pulmonary oedema associated with anaesthesia for colic surgery in a horse.

A 506 kg Warmblood horse with colic was anaesthetized for exploratory celiotomy. Anaesthesia was complicated by arterial hypoxaemia which persisted throughout surgery from the induction of anaesthesia. After endotracheal extubation in the recovery box, a degree of airway obstruction probably occurred during a brief delay in naso-tracheal intubation.
