Anaesthetic practices and attitudes to patient safety in a sample of Australian veterinary practices
Originally Published hereTo survey anaesthetic practices and attitudes towards veterinary patient safety in Australia.
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…
Propofol-sparing and hemodynamic effects of guaifenesin in sheep
Originally Published hereTo evaluate the propofol-sparing and hemodynamic effects of guaifenesin administered for co-induction of anesthesia in sheep.
Effect of body position on transesophageal atrial pacing in dogs

Accidental Epidural morphine overdose in a cat
Originally Published hereSacrococcygeal epidurals have been proven to effectively reduce anaesthetic and analgesic requirements for urinary catheter placements in cats (Pratt et al. 2020).
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…
Objective assessment of chronic pain in donkeys using the Donkey Chronic Pain Scale.
Originally Published hereTo clinically evaluate previously developed pain scales [Donkey Chronic Pain Composite Pain Scale (DCP-CPS), Donkey Chronic Pain Facial Assessment of Pain (DCP-FAP), and combined Donkey Chronic Pain Scale (DCPS)], including behavioural and facial expression related variables, for the assessment of chronic pain in donkeys.
Comparison of inhaled salbutamol and salmeterol for the treatment of arterial hypoxaemia in anaesthetized horses: a randomized clinical trial
Originally Published hereTo compare the efficacy of inhaled salbutamol with salmeterol for the treatment of arterial hypoxaemia in anaesthetized horses.
Preliminary experience with quadratus lumborum catheters for intermittent analgesia in three dogs with acute abdominal pain
Originally Published hereThe quadratus lumborum block (QL-block), an ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia technique, entails injecting local anesthetic into the interfascial space enclosing the QL muscle (Garbin et al. 2020). It has been used successfully for ovariectomy and ovariohysterectomy surgeries in dogs (Viscasillas et al. 2021; Degani et al. 2023). Additionally, interfascial catheter implantation has been described to facilitate locoregional…
