Purpose: Recent efforts have sought to streamline gastrostomy insertion care, particularly length of stay (LOS). We report our initial experience with day-case gastrostomy (DCG) insertion.
Method: Retrospective review (April 2018-2024) of all primary gastrostomy insertions.
Background/aims: Functional lumen imaging probe (FLIP) Panometry has demonstrated utility in the assessment of esophageal motility as a complement to existing methodologies like high-resolution manometry. However, as FLIP is typically performed with sedation during routine endoscopy, there is potential for impact of sedation agents on esophageal motility. We aim to examine the effects of conscious sedation with midazolam and fentanyl on FLIP Panometry metrics and classification.

Treatment options include incision and drainage under general anaesthesia or non-operative treatments, such as antibiotics and/or aspiration under local anaesthetic, which avoid the risks of surgery. Current management is based on surgeon preference due to a poor underlying evidence base.

- Hydropsical conditions in domestic animals involve abnormal fluid buildup, often linked to issues like placentitis or fetal abnormalities, and can pose a medical emergency for pregnant mares.
- A case study featured a 9-year-old Quarter mare with hydroallantois at 271 days of gestation, resulting in the birth of a non-viable foal with severe congenital defects.
- The situation required swift medical intervention, which included fluid drainage and pregnancy termination, ultimately highlighting the necessity for early diagnosis and management of such conditions in horses.
