Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the use of total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) in dogs and cats among veterinary anaesthesiologists, using a cross-sectional anonymous survey.
- Out of 703 potential respondents, 153 completed the survey, revealing that while a majority used TIVA (99% for dogs, 94% for cats), only a small percentage employed it frequently.
- Key barriers to more frequent TIVA usage included concerns about prolonged recovery, cost, and drug accumulation, whereas those who used it often cited improved haemodynamic stability and specific clinical indications as motivators.
Background And Aims: There are limited contemporary population-based data on epidemiology and outcomes in the United States. Our primary aim was to create a validated cohort of veterans with testing or treatment using Veterans Health Administration data.
Methods: Using Veterans Health Administration structured and unstructured data, we developed and validated 4 algorithms for infection (3 algorithms) and treatment status (1 algorithm).
Background: This retrospective observational study explored the impact of preanaesthetic electrocardiogram (ECG) assessment on preoperative echocardiography requests and modifications to a standardised anaesthetic protocol in healthy dogs.
Methods: A total of 228 healthy dogs with no previously diagnosed heart disease that underwent general anaesthesia at Complutense Veterinary Teaching Hospital from December 2017 to June 2018 were included. Preanaesthetic ECGs were assessed for abnormalities, and the findings were documented.
Background: Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) has serious physical consequences for children such as behavioral disabilities, growth disorders, neuromuscular problems, impaired motor coordination, and decreased muscle tone. However, it is not known whether loss of muscle strength occurs, and which interventions will effectively mitigate physical PAE impairments. We aimed to investigate whether physical alteration persists during adolescence and whether exercise is an effective intervention.
