TL;DR: In this article, the transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block with a mixture of lidocaine and bupivacaine administered to cats undergoing ovariectomy was evaluated.

TL;DR: Administration of methadone Q4 caused more side effects than administration guided by CMPS-SF, and should be considered when planning postoperative analgesia in dogs undergoing uncomplicated TPLO and in which a PNB has been performed.

TL;DR: Ropivacaine or bupvacaine IP in combination with morphine IM and carprofen SC provided comparable postoperative analgesia in dogs after OVH for 6 hours, however, the anaesthetic protocol used did not prevent the administration of rescue analgesIA in 41% of animals.

TL;DR: Time to desaturation was significantly longer after mask treatment compared with flow-by (187 ± 67 versus 66 ±-17 seconds) and mask preoxygenation provided longer time toDesaturation compared with the flow- by technique tested.

TL;DR: Alfaxalone provided rapid, smooth induction when administered intramuscularly to pythons, and may serve as a useful induction agent prior to provision of volatile anaesthetics, suggesting that shunting to the liver and first-pass metabolism of alfaxalone occur when injected caudally, via the renal portal system.

TL;DR: Nerves T16-L2 had over 75% success rate in staining, suggesting that this technique would block transmission from T16 to L2, assuming that staining indicates potential nerve block.

TL;DR: Drug combination increased the duration of sedation but not antinociception, and dexmedetomidine provided antinOCiception without sedation, in tegus.

TL;DR: This study shows that EMLA cream applied for 60 minutes reduces the behavioural reaction of dogs to IV catheter placement; therefore, this intervention can be advocated for routine use in veterinary medicine to enhance the welfare of dogs undergoing IVCatheter placement.

TL;DR: It is concluded that a combination of the two approaches is necessary, but perhaps not sufficient, to stain all of the nerves innervating the ventral abdominal wall.

TL;DR: Despite a lower occurrence of adverse events at induction in group Am compared with group MA and a reduction of alfaxalone dose requirement in group AM compared with Group CA, the use of an alfax Alone-midazolam co-induction does not seem to produce any cardiovascular or respiratory benefits in healthy dogs.

TL;DR: An overall improvement in cardiovascular function of dogs anesthetized with equipotent isoflurane doses was observed after the treatment of bradycardia only with the high-dose fentanyl.

TL;DR: The use of acepromazine and butorphanol improved the quality of laryngeal examination and any negative impact on arytenoid motion caused by these premedications was overcome with doxapram.

TL;DR: It is indicated that the two-point TAP injection delivers consistent dye dispersion to adequately stain branches of T13, L1, L2 and L3, with no Coverage of T11 and poor coverage of T12, in fresh canine cadavers.

TL;DR: Gas exchange is better preserved in HU compared to HD, especially if applied from the start of the anaesthesia, as well as for cardiac output, oxygen delivery, oxygen consumption and dobutamine requirement between the two positions.

TL;DR: Use of benzodiazepines improved the ease of endotracheal intubation in premedicated dogs and reduced the alfaxalone dose compared with saline.

TL;DR: Dye distribution was not significantly different between the two groups; therefore, the use of the lower-volume and multiple-site injections would be potentially necessary in clinical cases to achieve ipsilateral blockade of the thoracic wall.

TL;DR: In dogs undergoing laparoscopy, an alveolar recruitment maneuver followed by 5 cmH2O positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) improves gas exchange and respiratory system mechanics.

TL;DR: This study suggests that the previously published dose of 16 mg kg-1 alfaxalone is too high when used with premedication because it is found a high incidence of complications including apnoea (BUP-A), hypotension and hypoxaemia (TRA-A).

TL;DR: The dose-dependent hypotensive effect of isoflurane in MI dogs was mainly derived from the decrease in contractility, which may improve the cardiovascular management of dogs with MI undergoing general anaesthesia with isofLurane.

TL;DR: Cimicoxib has noninferior postoperative analgesic efficacy compared to buprenorphine, and both drugs have comparable analgesic effects for the control of postoperative pain in bitches undergoing ovariohysterectomy.

TL;DR: Both midazolam-alfaxalone and midazlam-ketamine produced acceptable anesthetic induction and recovery in donkeys after xylazine sedation, and hypoxemia occurred with both treatments.

TL;DR: Thiafentanil provided rapid and sufficient immobilization of moose and its effects were rapidly reversed with naltrexone, and all moose were living 6 months after capture.

TL;DR: The BAM combination proved to be reliable and effective in blesbok and the recovery time after administering naltrexone and atipamezole was 4.8 ± 0.7 minutes.

TL;DR: A limitation in transferring information among groups of veterinarians is suggested and relatively few steps are implemented to reduce the risks of this complication, such as routine use of quantitative neuromuscular monitoring or routine reversal of NMBAs.

TL;DR: Premedication of dogs with oral trazodone 2 hours prior to anesthetic induction has a significant isoflurane MAC sparing effect with no significant observed hemodynamic benefit.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the performance of horses administered total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with xylazine and ketamine combined with midazolam or propofol.

TL;DR: Incidence of corneal abrasion/ulceration in horses undergoing general anaesthesia and contamination rate of ophthalmic solutions are similar to those previously reported in dogs.

TL;DR: The assessment technique of subjective evaluation of laryngeal motion via peroral laryngoscopy under a light plane of anaesthesia produced consistent results amongst assessors, regardless of the induction agent used.
