Twenty years later: a single‐centre, repeat retrospective analysis of equine perioperative mortality and investigation of recovery quality

Conclusion and clinical relevanceAnaesthetic/recovery‐associated mortality was comparable to previously reported figures except intra‐operative deaths were not reported. Fractures remained responsible for the largest proportion of recovery‐associated deaths. Improvements to the recovery process that can reduce fracture occurrence are still required.
