Objective: To compare the quality of recovery in horses emerging from general anesthesia with or without the assistance of a novel device (recovery-enhancing device [RED]) designed to minimize high-energy falls.
Animals: 20 mixed-breed horses, between July 1, 2023, and January 24, 2024.
Methods: A computer-controlled belay system designed to slow the acceleration of a horse during a fall was evaluated in this study.
Objective: To describe the acquisition and pitfalls of a 3-view transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) protocol in anesthetized, dorsally recumbent dogs.
Animals: 8 beagles, 1 to 2 years old, 7.4 to 11.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined the effects of low-dose epidural anesthesia (EA) on goats undergoing lower urinary tract surgeries, focusing on its impact on analgesic requirements, hypotension, and postoperative comfort.
- A total of 38 goats were analyzed, divided into two groups: those receiving EA and those who didn't, with findings indicating that the EA group required less inhalational anesthetic and intraoperative morphine.
- Despite the lower anesthetic use, the incidence of hypotension was similar between groups, and postoperative morphine administration and time to first meal showed no significant differences.
Objective: To compare the variability in the duration of action of a single dose of rocuronium or cisatracurium, and duration of subsequent top-up doses in anesthetized dogs.
Animals: Thirty dogs requiring ophthalmic surgery with neuromuscular block.
Procedures: Neuromuscular function was monitored with train-of-four (TOF) and acceleromyography.
Objective: Transpulmonary ultrasound dilution (TPUD) is a minimally invasive technique to measure cardiac output (CO) using a 1 mL kg isotonic 37 °C saline injectate indicator. The objective was to evaluate the performance of TPUD using a room temperature saline injectate.
Study Design: Prospective experimental trial.
