Summary Objectives: Local anesthetic (LA) intoxication with cardiovascular arrest is a potential fatal complication of regional anesthesia. Lipid resuscitation has been recommended for the treatment LA‐induced cardiac arrest. Aim study was to compare four different rescue regimens using epinephrine and/or lipid emulsion and vasopressin treat caused by bupivacaine intoxication. Methods: Twenty‐eight piglets were randomized into groups (4 × 7), anesthetized sevoflurane, intubated, ventilated....
Summary Objectives: Local anesthetic (LA) intoxication with severe hemodynamic compromise is a potential catastrophic event. Lipid resuscitation has been recommended for the treatment of LA‐induced cardiac arrest. However, there are no data about effectiveness Intralipid ® cardiovascular prior to Aim this study was compare epinephrine and owing bupivacaine intoxication. Methods: Piglets were anesthetized sevoflurane, intubated, ventilated. Bupivacaine infused syringe driver via central...
Tooth wear is often suggested as an important factor limiting the life span of free-ranging wildlife. Given frequent occurrence poor dental health in captive animals reported literature, one would expect tooth to be a captivity well. Additionally, it could assumed that brachydont (browsing) are more susceptible problems than hypsodont (grazing) animals, given current indications for systematic increased some browsing species. A pilot survey necropsy reports adult wild ruminants (n = 294, 12...
Differences in macroscopic measurements of the gastrointestinal tract have been hypothesized to correlate with browser-grazer continuum natural diet ruminants. However, what extent these characteristics represent species-specific traits, or respond actually ingested diet, remains be investigated. Twelve surplus addax antelope (Addax nasomaculatus) were divided into two groups and fed, for 3 months, either their usual consisting a concentrate feed limited amount hay, unlimited hay only. After...
Red kites (Milvus milvus) are raptors known to feign death in the presence of humans. An adult wild red kite milvus), ASA II, underwent coelioscopy. Butorphanol was administered before induction anesthesia which maintained with 1.5% isoflurane oxygen. Intraoperatively, heart rate and respiratory ranged from 240 260 bpm 16 28 brpm, respectively. Pupil corneal reflexes were always present. Body temperature at 40.4°C. Suppression ratio 0 during whole anesthesia. Bispectral index 44 immediately...
Abstract Background The bispectral index (BIS) is an anaesthesia monitoring technique able to assess the level of central nervous system depression in humans and various animal species. In birds, it has been validated chickens undergoing isoflurane anaesthesia. aim this study was evaluate avian species influence sevoflurane on BIS, each at different minimum anaesthetic concentrations (MAC) multiples, alone or combined with butorphanol medetomidine. Ten (5 males 5 females) underwent general...
An 800 kg Swiss cow, eighth months gravid, was presented for anaesthesia to repair metacarpal fracture. The cow premedicated with intravenous isoxsuprine, butorphanol, ketoprofen, and xylazine IM induced ketamine diazepam IV. In lateral recumbency, the trachea intubated, isoflurane in oxygen air administered. Despite a ring block lidocaine, purposeful movement happened, 0.02 mg −1 h 0.6 constant rate infusion started. During anaesthesia, slight hypercapnia hypoxaemia developed. Total time of...
Subacute ruminal acidosis is a common disease in captive non-domesticated ruminants and mainly diagnosed by rumen fluid pH histology. Furthermore, differences ruminant gastrointestinal histology have been hypothesized to correlate with the browser-grazer continuum. Twelve surplus addax antelope (Addax nasomaculatus) were divided into two groups, fed either their usual diet, consisting of concentrate feed limited amount hay, or diet unlimited hay only, for 3 months. After culling, descriptive...
Zusammenfassung: Gegenstand und Ziel: Die im Folgenden beschriebenen vier Fälle demonstrieren die Möglichkeit der endoskopischen Entfernung von adulten Pentastomiden aus Lunge Schlangen zeigen Besonderheiten Schlangenlunge mit den sich daraus ergebenden Problemen auf. Material Methoden: parasitologischen röntgenologischen Befunde sowie Ergebnisse Blutuntersuchungen bei infizierten Abgottschlangen (Boa constrictor) werden beschrieben. Ferner wird Methodik Pentastomidenentfernung dargestellt....
Summary Background: Intravascular application of a small dose local anesthetics (LA) with epinephrine as well larger doses LA under sevoflurane anesthesia results in increase T‐wave amplitude the electrocardiogram (ECG). The aim this study was to elucidate whether propofol affects these ECG alterations or not. Methods: Thirty neonatal pigs were randomized into two groups. Group 1 anesthetized sevoflurane, group 2 plus continuous infusion (10 mg·kg −1 ·h ). A test 0.2 ml·kg bupivacaine 0.125%...
A 1-month-old male flat-coated retriever was anaesthetized for correction of oesophageal constriction caused by a vascular ring anomaly. Anaesthesia uneventfully induced with intravenous fentanyl, diazepam, and propofol maintained isoflurane in oxygen air. An intercostal block bupivacaine lidocaine performed, additional analgesia an infusion fentanyl provided. Fluid therapy consisted 5% glucose lactated Ringer’s solution hetastarch 6%, which proved adequate to maintain normoglycemia...
In diesem Fallbericht wird die Behandlung einer beidseitigen Muskelhypertonie an den Vordergliedmaßen beschrieben, durch eine zervikale Wirbelfunktionsstörung verursacht wurde, welche auf das ständige und anhaltende Ziehen des Hundes am Halsband zurückzuführen war.
In 2007, two different events for teaching principles in zoo and wildlife medicine introducing veterinary students to scientific work were organized, the “Zoo Research Camp 2007” at Al Wabra Wildlife Preservation, Qatar, “First EAZWV Summer School” Basle Zoo. Apart from support hosting facilities, organized by Clinic of Zoo Animals, Exotic Pets Vetsuisse Faculty. The differed concept – with more emphasis on research data evaluation ZRC, lectures School. Both had common that a limited group...
