Abstract A 14‐year‐old Irish sport horse presented to our institution with a history of right forelimb lameness and left‐sided back pain. Radiography nuclear scintigraphy were performed under sedation the was diagnosed overriding dorsal spinous processes, also known as kissing spine syndrome. Surgical treatment consisted process ostectomy desmotomy general anaesthesia. This case report summarises perianaesthetic management, which included an erector spinae plane block part multimodal...
Nach einer unproblematisch verlaufenen Anästhesie entwickelte ein Pferd in der Aufwachphase eine plötzlich auftretende obere Atemwegsobstruktion, welche durch den dadurch hervorgerufenen negativen Druck akutes Lungenödem verursachte. Es konnten keine pathologischen Veränderungen Atmung beobachtet werden bis zum Zeitpunkt als das aufstand und Erstickungsanzeichen zeigte. Für die wurde Nasenschlundsonde situ belassen. Dies, zusammen mit Tatsache postmortem diagnostizierten Hemiplegie des...
Little information is available about the management of adrenalectomies in veterinary anaesthesia. The aim this study was to describe anaesthetic techniques, complication rate and outcome these cases. Data were collected retrospectively from patients' records. Descriptive statistics performed with Student's t -tests Chi-square tests where appropriate. Forty-one cases included. mean age 124.7 ± 29.4 months median body weight 23.1 kg (5.3–69 kg). Carcinoma most common diagnosis (34.1%)....
Quantitative sensory testing methods are now standard in the evaluation of function man, while few normal equine values have been reported.The aim this experimental study was (a) to define tactile sensory, mechanical nociceptive and thermal thresholds face; (b) assess effect age, sex, stimulation site shaving; (c) evaluate reliability (d) provide reference facial quantitative values.Method description.Thirty-four healthy Warmblood horses were used study. Six (tactile threshold) five...
Three horses presenting with colic signs to the Equine Referral Hospital at The Royal Veterinary College underwent general anaesthesia between September 2013 and November 2017 for emergency exploratory laparotomy. No obvious cause was identified in two horses, while a haemoperitoneum third. All were euthanased within 12 hours of surgery due deteriorating haemodynamic instability and/or intractable pain. Postmortem examination revealed an adrenal mass each case, confirmed be pheochromocytoma...
A two‐year‐ten‐month colt was referred for investigation and surgical treatment of cryptorchidism. Preanaesthetic clinical examination revealed no abnormalities relevant history reported. The patient anaesthetised with a total intravenous anaesthesia technique, both testicles were identified after induction, bilateral open castration performed in the recovery box. Surgery, uneventful. However, first hour postrecovery, signs compatible pulmonary oedema developed. Following arterial blood...
This case report describes a transient post‐anaesthetic bilateral central blindness caused by suspected air embolism associated with intravenous catheter cap disconnection and its medical management in horse. The of the becomes dislodged during head tail rope assisted recovery. first clinical signs were sweating, shivering dyspnoea, which was followed collapse horse on ropes generalised seizures. Supportive treatment administered form nasal oxygen supply, sedation, flunixin meglumine,...
Objectives The aim of this study was to determine the maximal endotracheal insertion length by measuring larynx carina (L–C) distance means CT. An additional objective establish certain anatomical landmarks optimise process intubation (ETI). Methods Head, neck and thoracic CT images from adult cats at a single referral hospital between 2013 2020 were retrospectively evaluated. After standardising identifying key markers (larynx, first rib) L–C, rib (L–1R) (1R–C) distances measured. Results...
Local anaesthesia techniques are now essential parts of the multimodal analgesic approach applied in care small animals. The sensory innervation nose is provided by maxillary division trigeminal nerve, so nasal pain can be prevented or alleviated blocking branches this nerve. Maxillary infraorbital nerve block used if invasive procedures performed on canine and feline patients. Clear anatomical landmarks facilitate placements these blocks, which impose relatively low risk to These blocks do...
