Objective: To describe fluid dispersal and retrieval patterns in an infusion-retrieval system across various configurations and locations in a cadaveric canine model.
Study Design: Cadaveric study.
Animals: Four large breed canines.
Locally sustained release antimicrobials such as silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) might prove useful in combating local infections. Their elution has been investigated in Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) including from poloxamer 407 (P407). No information exists on possible interactions with proteins, nor have ultrafiltration (UF) probes been evaluated to measure Ag.

Methods: Medical records from 1 academic hospital were reviewed for 297 client-owned dogs that underwent gastrointestinal foreign body obstruction surgery between May 2017 and August 2022. Data collected included the following: signalment, preoperative fluid resuscitation, surgical findings, anesthetic parameters and interventions, postoperative complications, and timing of the first meal.
Objective: To report the clinical use, adverse events, and outcomes after using amikacin in 30% poloxamer 407 (amikacin-P407) during open wound management or in a closed wound application in dogs.
Animals: 29 client-owned dogs.
Methods: Medical records from January 2017 to August 2023 from a single hospital were reviewed for dogs that received amikacin-P407 in an open or closed wound application.
