Retrospective study of the changes in dynamic compliance and ventilation/perfusion mismatch following salbutamol inhalation in hypoxaemic mechanically ventilated anaesthetized horses

Originally Published hereTo study the changes in dynamic compliance (Cdyn), ventilation/perfusion () mismatch and haemodynamic variables in hypoxaemic anaesthetized horses whose PaO2 increased following salbutamol inhalation.

Comparison of cardiopulmonary effects of propofol, ketamine-propofol and isoflurane anesthesia in the domestic chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus)

Originally Published hereTo compare the effects of propofol, ketamine-propofol, and isoflurane, at similar anesthetic depth, on cardiopulmonary variables in unpremedictated chickens.

Perceived impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on residency training in American College of Veterinary Anesthesia and Analgesia programs in North America: a quantitative survey

Originally Published hereTo characterize the extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on aspects of the anesthesia residency experience from the perspective of American College of Veterinary Anesthesia and Analgesia (ACVAA) mentors and trainees. This includes the residency interview process, didactic training and availability and variety of clinical cases for resident learning.

Area under the curve and amplitude of the compound motor action potential are clinically interchangeable quantitative measures of neuromuscular block: a method comparison study

Originally Published hereCurrent guidelines recommend quantitative neuromuscular block monitoring during neuromuscular blocking agent administration. Monitors using surface electromyography (EMG) determine compound motor action potential (cMAP) amplitude or area under the curve (AUC). Rigorous evaluation of the interchangeability of these methods is lacking but necessary for clinical and research assurance that EMG interpretations of the depth…

Nasotracheal intubation in a goat with a congenital mandibular malformation

Originally Published hereA female goat, aged 1 year and weighing 18 kg, presented to the University of Georgia Veterinary Teaching Hospital for evaluation of a congenital mandibular deformation resulting in left lateral deviation of the mandible (Fig. 1a). The goat was unable to prehend solid food and had been fed a diet of whole cow’s milk…
