Originally Published hereTo compare the effects of intranasal (IN) and intramuscular (IM) midazolam–butorphanol–ketamine on intraocular pressure (IOP), tear production (TP) and sedation in rabbits.
Originally Published hereTo compare the portion of tidal volume (VT) ventilating dead space volumes in nonbrachycephalic cats and dogs with small body mass receiving volume-controlled ventilation (VCV) with a fixed VT.
Originally Published hereTo evaluate if students without training assess pain similarly to an expert, and to compare indications for analgesic intervention based on student opinions versus scale scoring.
Originally Published herePulse wave transit time (PWTT) shows promise for monitoring intravascular fluid status intraoperatively. Presently, it is unknown how PWTT mirrors haemodynamic variables representing preload, inotropy, or afterload.
Originally Published hereEditor—We recently reported the impact of an opioid-free anaesthesia (OFA) strategy, when compared with an opioid-based anaesthesia (OBA) strategy on postoperative morphine consumption and patient comfort during laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery in class III obese patients.1 This study included 172 patients in total and a subgroup was monitored with the Nociception Level Index…
Originally Published hereSternal pain after cardiac surgery results in considerable discomfort. Single-injection parasternal fascial plane blocks have been shown to reduce pain scores and opioid consumption during the first 24 h after surgery, but the efficacy of continuous infusion has not been evaluated. This retrospective cohort study examined the effect of a continuous infusion of…
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.
Originally Published hereTo compare the effects of propofol, ketamine-propofol, and isoflurane, at similar anesthetic depth, on cardiopulmonary variables in unpremedictated chickens.
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.
