Objective: To develop and evaluate a low-cost three-dimensional (3D)-printed video laryngoscope (VL) for use with a commercial borescope.
Study Design: Instrument development and pilot study.
Animals: A total of six adult male Beagle dogs.
Objective: To compare the epidural anesthesia device (EPIA), which facilitates an automatic approach to location of the epidural space, with the performance of clinicians using tactile sensation and differences in pressure when inserting an epidural needle into the epidural space of a dog.
Study Design: Prospective, crossover experiment.
Animals: A total of 14 Beagle dogs weighing 7.
Objectives: To compare the duration of regional anesthesia of the pelvic limb using bupivacaine with and without a temperature-responsive hydrogel (TRH) in dogs.
Methods: Under anesthesia using medetomidine (10 μg·kg ), alfaxalone (2 mg·kg ), and isoflurane, seven healthy male Beagles received four injections of 0.5% bupivacaine (1 mg·kg with 5 μg·ml epinephrine) to block the femoral and sciatic nerves bilaterally via ultrasound with nerve stimulation guidance.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT) in measuring tracheal diameter as a preliminary step for selecting endotracheal tubes in dogs.
- It involved nine Beagle dogs, measuring tracheal diameters at two specific locations using both imaging methods, where measurements with CT were taken under anesthesia and with ultrasonography while dogs were unsedated.
- Results indicated that while ultrasonography showed a slight underestimation of tracheal diameter compared to CT, it still demonstrated potential for accurate measurements, suggesting further research could support its clinical use for endotracheal tube selection.
