Temperature regulation in dogs is significantly impaired during general anesthesia. Glabrous skin on paws may facilitate thermoregulation from this area and is a potential target for interventions attenuating hypothermia. This pilot study aimed to compare efficacy of an innovative warming device placed on the front paws (AVAcore; AVA), with no warming methods (NONE) and conventional truncal warming methods (CONV; circulating water blanket/forced air warmer) on rectal temperature and anesthetic recovery times.

Background: Patient safety is important in daily anesthesia practices, and providing deep anesthesia is difficult. Current debates on the optimal anesthetic agents highlight the need for safer alternatives. This study was justified by the need for safer and more effective anesthetic protocols for outpatient hysteroscopic procedures, particularly those conducted outside the operating room.

Introduction: Regional anesthetic blocks are an adjunct to decrease pediatric opioid utilization and improve perioperative pain control. We compared opioid use in patients who underwent umbilical hernia repair (UHR) with or without preoperative bilateral rectus sheath block (BRSB).
Methods: We conducted a single-center retrospective cohort study evaluating opioid use in patients <18 years who underwent an UHR.
