Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of an ultrasound-guided technique targeting the medial branches of the dorsal ramus of the spinal nerves (DRSN) by injecting a dye solution at the caudal aspect of the base of lumbar mammillary processes [i.e. the retromammillary (RM) space].

Study Design: Prospective, randomized, descriptive, anatomic study.
Animals: A total of 15 canine cadavers.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the maximal endotracheal insertion length by measuring the larynx to carina (L-C) distance by means of CT. An additional objective was to establish certain anatomical landmarks to optimise the process of endotracheal intubation (ETI).
Methods: Head, neck and thoracic CT images from adult cats at a single referral hospital between 2013 and 2020 were retrospectively evaluated.
Objective: To describe a novel in-plane ultrasound (U/S)-guided temporal approach to peribulbar block in dogs.
Study Design: Prospective experimental cadaver study.
Animals: A group of 10 Beagle cadavers.
Objective: To examine the anatomy of the lumbar epaxial region and to describe two different ultrasound-guided approaches for the lumbar erector spinae plane (ESP) block in dogs.
Study Design: An anatomical and experimental cadaver study.
Animals: A group of 19 canine cadavers.
Background: The caudal thoracic paravertebral (CTPV) block is a regional anesthesia technique currently used in human medicine to provide analgesia in abdominal surgical procedures.
Aim: The objectives of this study are to describe an ultrasound-guided technique to place catheters in CTPV space in canine cadavers and evaluate the distribution of a 50:50 contrast-dye solution administered through them.
Methods: Eight thawed adult beagle cadavers (9.
