Diazepam is used in veterinary medicine as sedative and pre-anaesthetic agent. This publication describes the plasma-concentration time curve for diazepam and its metabolite in horses suffering from colic after intravenous application as pre-anaesthetic agent. Elimination half-life (t1/2 beta) after a dose of 0.05-0.08 mg/kg (30-50 mg Diazepam per horse) was 7.5 to 13.2 h. Total clearance (Cltot) between 1.86 and 3.44 ml/min/kg was detected and apparent volume of distribution in steady state (Vdiss) was 1.98 to 2.25 l/kg. Diazepam was still found in serum after 24 h. The metabolite oxazepam could be found in plasma. Its elimination half-life was 14-16.5 hours.

Background: The limited and detailed literature on total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA), as well as the clinical indications for unilateral ovariectomy in llamas, are not well-defined. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the anesthetic events and the surgical intervention in this species.
Aim: The objective of this study was to evaluate the intraoperative physiological and clinical parameters in llamas undergoing unilateral ovariectomy, under three protocols of TIVA.

To compare the efficacy of laser phototherapy, Buzzy®, and lignocaine gel in minimizing pain during intraoral injections. In this randomized controlled trial, the efficacy of standard lignocaine gel (Group A) was compared with Buzzy® (Group B) and laser phototherapy (Group C) as pre-anesthetic agents in 15 children aged eight to 12 years undergoing intraoral local anesthesia (LA). Pain perception during needle insertion was assessed objectively using the Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) scale and subjectively using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).

Introduction: Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) encompasses a spectrum of cognitive impairments following surgery, attributed to disruptions in brain homeostasis. The pathogenesis involves glutamate toxicity, GABA receptor dysfunction, and alterations in NMDA and AMPA receptors. This study aimed to investigate the impact of pre-anesthetic amantadine administration on postoperative recovery time, POCD, and stress-related pain levels when combined with propofol anesthesia.

Background Neuromuscular blocking agents are crucial for anesthesia but can cause reversible paralysis, leading to risks like postoperative residual dysfunction. Undetected paralysis in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) jeopardizes patient safety by impairing airway function and increasing complications. Effective reversal, assessed clinically or via nerve stimulation, is critical to prevent residual postoperative curarization (RPOC), which is linked to significant morbidity and mortality.
