The influence of hypoxaemia, hypotension and hypercapnia (among other factors) on quality of recovery from general anaesthesia in horses.

Objective: To investigate the effect of hypoxaemia, hypotension and hypercapnia, among others, on quality of recovery from general anaesthesia in horses.

Study Design: Retrospective, single-centre study.

Animals: A sample of 1226 horses that underwent general anaesthesia between June 2017 and June 2021.

Use of wound infusion catheters for postoperative local anaesthetic administration in cats.

Objectives: The present study aimed to document the use of the wound infusion catheter (WIC) following a variety of surgical procedures in cats, investigating complications and risk factors associated with catheter placement or local anaesthetic (LA) administration.

Methods: A retrospective, multicentric study was performed. Medical databases of eight veterinary referral hospitals from 2010 to 2021 were searched to identify records of cats where WICs were used.
