Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of low-volume retrobulbar anesthesia using three different local anesthetic formulations on healthy adult mares.
- Eight mares received ultrasound-guided injections of 2% lidocaine, 2% mepivacaine, or 0.5% bupivacaine, and their eyes were evaluated for various responses and side effects over a 24-hour period.
- Results showed that all anesthetics provided significant corneal anesthesia without adverse effects, but bupivacaine offered longer-lasting relief, while no significant periocular anesthesia was achieved with any of the drugs.
Objective: To compare the effectiveness of preoperative bupivacaine inferotemporal retrobulbar blocks to postoperative liposome-encapsulated bupivacaine (Nocita) line blocks for analgesia following enucleation.
Animals: 39 client-owned dogs (40 eyes) presenting to the Ophthalmology Service for enucleation.
Methods: Dogs were randomly assigned to receive either a preoperative inferotemporal retrobulbar block with 0.
Objective: To investigate complications associated with, and without, bupivacaine retrobulbar local anesthesia in dogs undergoing unilateral enucleation surgery.
Study Design: Retrospective, observational study.
Animals: A total of 167 dogs underwent unilateral enucleation surgery via a transpalpebral approach.
