In this study, changes in hemodynamic, blood gas, and metabolic variables recorded during right lateral and dorsal recumbency in beagles anaesthetised with thiopental are presented. Other than reported in human beings, dorsal recumbency in these dogs resulted in an increase (33%) in heart rate, decrease (30%) in systolic, diastolic, and mean systemic arterial pressure, a decrease (17%) in systemic vascular resistance, and a decrease in both right (31%) and left (39%) ventricular work in comparison with lateral recumbency. Furthermore, mixed-venous PO2, oxygen saturation and respiratory quotient were lower in dorsal than in lateral recumbency while O2 consumption and lipolysis were increased in the former. The changes presented may have been caused by beta-adrenergic stimulation in dorsal recumbency. It needs to be studied if capillary perfusion can be maintained adequately during surgery in dorsal recumbency or if this predisposes to cardiovascular shock.

Does perioperative electroacupuncture reduce postoperative pain in dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomy?
Front Vet Sci
January 2025
Department for Clinical Diagnostics and Services, Section of Anaesthesiology, Vetsuisse Faculty, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland.
Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the analgesic efficacy of perioperative electroacupuncture in fifty-six healthy female dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomy as part of a catch-neuter-release project.
Materials And Methods: Ten minutes after sedation with 20 μg/kg medetomidine combined with 0.3 mg/kg butorphanol intramuscularly, the dogs were randomly allocated into two groups and received either electroacupuncture (EA, = 27) or sham acupuncture (C, = 29) treatment for 10 min (after sedation until the end of the surgery) at 6 different acupuncture points LI-4 (Large intestine 4), LIV-3 (Liver 3), ST-36 (Stomach 36), SP-6 (Spleen 6) bilateral.
Assessment of changes in intra-abdominal pressure and cardiac output induced by liver compression in healthy anesthetized spontaneously breathing dogs.
PLoS One
December 2024
Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine and Research institute for Veterinary Science, Seoul National University, Seoul, South Korea.
Objective: Liver compression (LC) has been proposed to predict fluid responsiveness in human pediatric patients. Because the evaluation of fluid responsiveness through LC depends on the mechanism of increased intra-abdominal pressure (IAP), understanding the impact of LC on IAP, cardiac output (CO), and respiratory parameters is essential. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the effects of LC on these parameters.

Department of Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, North Carolina, USA.
Objective: To describe the feasibility, efficiency, and extent of thoracoscopic pericardiectomy (TP) on a ventilated dog with an intercostal approach in lateral recumbency (ILR), in comparison with the traditional transdiaphragmatic paraxiphoid approach in dorsal recumbency (PDR).
Study Design: Randomized experimental study.
Animals: Twenty canine cadavers (n = 10 per group).
Anesthesia for non-obstetric surgery during late term pregnancy in mares.
PLoS One

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the effects of general inhalation anesthesia on pregnant mares during their last month of gestation, focusing on the impacts on both maternal and fetal health.
- - Nine mares were anesthetized for 90 minutes, revealing increased heart rate and arterial pressure, while also showing respiratory acidosis and a decrease in fetal heart rate.
- - Overall, despite significant hemodynamic changes during anesthesia, the results suggest that they do not negatively impact the short-term prognosis for the mother and fetus.
The Use of Intra-Operative Endoscopy in Dogs and Cats for the Removal of Gastrointestinal Foreign Bodies: Five Cases (2014-2015).
Vet Med Sci
January 2025
Freelance Surgical, Services, Florida, USA.
Objectives: We report the use of intra-operative endoscopy, termed here 'surgically-assisted endoscopy'. The procedure spares a gastrotomy, therefore, shortening anaesthetic time, minimising potential complications and resulting in a quicker and less painful recovery.
Methods: Four dogs and one cat requiring surgical celiotomy for various conditions were treated.
