When anaesthesia for a caesarean section of a bitch is required, the goal is to execute it as safely as possible for both the dam and the puppies. Pregnancy causes several physiological changes, many of which are significant from the anaesthetist's point of view. Pregnant dogs are predisposed to a...

General anesthesia produces different degrees of central nervous depression and changes in the peripheral circulation, therefore affecting the patient's thermoregulatory mechanism. Moreover, the lack of proper, specially designed equipment for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) environment monitoring ...

In humans and other mammals, general anesthesia impairs thermoregulation, leading to warm core blood redistributing to the periphery. This redistribution is an important contributor to hypothermia that can be reduced with pre-warming before anesthesia. Additionally, sedation following premedication ...

Incorrect thermal management of the canine patient undergoing general anesthesia can generate recovery complications and even present the risk of death. Objective - To evaluate a normothermic protocol in ASA I canine patients' sometimes general anesthesia. Materials and methods - 10 patients were...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a novel computerized body temperature regulation system (CBTR) in preventing hypothermia during general gas anesthesia in dogs. A nonblinded, controlled, cross-over group study was carried that included six healthy adult...

This article initially discusses what a neonate is and the differences between neonates and adults to take into consideration when anaesthetising neonatal patients, including anatomical differences (cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, hepatic, nervous and thermoregulatory systems) and...

In the present study the efficacy of isoflurane and sevoflurane administered with mask was evaluated by determining the effects of various clinicophysiological and haematobiochemical parameters in puppies. Twelve puppies, 2-3 month old was used in the study, and was equally divided into two groups...

A mixed breed dog was anesthetized for diagnostic myelography to investigate acute onset neck pain. Instead of contrast medium, 444 μg/kg medetomidine were inadvertently injected into the cerebromedullaris cisterna owing to a human error. Severe bradycardia, undetectable peripheral pulse,...

This study was performed to clarify the differences of the body heats between electroacupuncture analgesia (EA) and anaesthesia by ketamine hydrochloride (ketamine anaesthesia) in dogs. Nine clinically healthy dogs were divided into ketamine anaesthesia (control: 5 heads) and EA (experimental: 4...
