The effects of intravenous (i.v.) lidocaine, dexmedetomidine and their combination delivered as a bolus followed by a constant rate infusion (CRI) on the minimum alveolar concentration of isoflurane (MACISO) in dogs were evaluated. Seven healthy adult dogs were included. Anaesthesia was induced with propofol and maintained with isoflurane. For each dog, baseline MAC (MACISO/BASAL) was determined after a 90-minute equilibration period. Thereafter, each dog received one of the following treatments (loading dose, CRI): lidocaine 2 mg kg(-1), 100 µg kg(-1) minute(-1); dexmedetomidine 2 µg kg(-1), 2 µg kg(-1) hour(-1); or their combination. MAC was then determined again after 45- minutes of treatment by CRI. At the doses administered, lidocaine, dexmedetomidine and their combination significantly reduced MACISO by 27.3% (range: 12.5-39.2%), 43.4% (33.3-53.3%) and 60.9% (46.1-78.1%), respectively, when compared to MACISO/BASAL. The combination resulted in a greater MACISO reduction than the two drugs alone. Their use, at the doses studied, provides a clinically important reduction in the concentration of ISO during anaesthesia in dogs.

The Effect of Lidocaine Splash Block Followed by Suspensory Ligament Massage in Female Dogs Undergoing Ovariohysterectomy: A Prospective Study.

The administration of lidocaine as part of multimodal analgesia in dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomies demonstrates variable analgesic efficacy. The aim of this prospective, double-blinded clinical study was to evaluate the effectiveness of lidocaine 2% irrigation on the ovarian suspensory ligament, followed by localised massage, in achieving sufficient intraoperative analgesia. Thirty-eight female dogs were randomly divided to two groups and received either a splash block of 0.

This study aimed to compare the postoperative analgesic efficacy, opioid consumption, quality of postoperative recovery (QOR) and adverse reactions of intravenous coinjection of lidocaine and dexmedetomidine versus lidocaine or dexmedetomidine alone in gynaecological surgery.
Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis was performed.
Blind supratemporal retrobulbar block in cats: a feasibility cadaveric study and its efficacy in a group of subjects undergoing corneal or intraocular surgery.

Department of Veterinary Science, University of Turin, Turin, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the supratemporal retrobulbar block as an anesthetic technique in cats, addressing its effectiveness and injection methods.
- A modified injection of a specific mixture was performed on cadavers, showing a high success rate in contrast agent spread and good distribution around the optic nerve.
- In a clinical setting with 12 cats, the retrobulbar group experienced fewer anesthetist interventions compared to the control group, indicating a potential advantage of the supratemporal approach for surgeries.
Intravenous Versus Peribulbar Dexmedetomidine as an Adjunct to Local Anesthetics in Strabismus Surgery: A Randomized, Double-blinded Clinical Trial.

Faculty of Medicine, Aswan University, Aswan, Egypt Aswan University.
Background: Dexmedetomidine has not been adequately studied as an adjuvant to peribulbar anesthesia in strabismus surgery.
Objectives: We investigated how different routes of dexmedetomidine administration affect the peribulbar block characteristics in adults undergoing strabismus surgery.
Study Design: A randomized, double-blind clinical trial.
Intraoperative Non-Opiate Anesthesia for Patients Undergoing Arthroscopic Temporomandibular Joint Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Drug Des Devel Ther
November 2024
Department of Anesthesia, Critical Care and Pain Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA.
Background: Pain intensity after temporomandibular joint (TMJ) surgery is often underestimated, and inadequate pain control may relate to poor recovery quality, increased opioid consumption, and longer hospital stay. This trial aims to evaluate whether non-opiate anesthesia provides a promising option of pain management for patients undergoing TMJ surgery.
Methods: Sixty patients receiving TMJ surgery were randomly assigned to either the control group or the non-opiate group.
