Continuous infusion of propofol in calves: bispectral index and hemodynamic effects
Conclusions and clinical relevanceA continuous infusion of propofol at 0.6 or 0.8 mg kg−1 minute−1 caused minimal hemodynamic changes without clinical relevance in calves. BIS could not be reliably used to discriminate the anesthetic depth during the two propofol infusion rates. (Source: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia)

Effects of intravenous and topical laryngeal lidocaine on heart rate, mean arterial pressure and cough response to endotracheal intubation in dogs
Conclusions and clinical relevanceIn propofol‐anaesthetized dogs, IV and topical laryngeal lidocaine attenuated the pressor response to ETI, whereas IV lidocaine reduced the cough response. (Source: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia)

Adverse event surveillance in small animal anaesthesia: an intervention‐based, voluntary reporting audit
Conclusions and clinical relevanceSimple intervention‐based surveillance tools can be easily integrated into small animal anaesthetic practice, providing a valuable evidence base for anaesthetists. A number of considerations must be addressed to ensure compliance and the quality of data collected. (Source: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia)

Urinary neutrophil gelatinase‐associated lipocalin concentration changes after acute haemorrhage and colloid‐mediated reperfusion in anaesthetized dogs
Conclusions and clinical relevanceDespite wide individual variation in baseline uNGAL, increases in uNGAL were observed in all dogs, suggesting that this biomarker has the potential to detect renal tubular injury following haemorrhage‐induced hypotension and colloid‐mediated reperfusion.

Clinical efficacy and cardiorespiratory effects of intramuscular administration of alfaxalone alone or in combination with dexmedetomidine in cats
Conclusions and clinical relevanceAlfaxalone administered IM induced sedation in cats. The addition of dexmedetomidine to alfaxalone induced general anaesthesia with a mild decrease in the heart rate and arterial oxygen saturation of haemoglobin. (Source: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia)

Agreement between two oscillometric blood pressure technologies and invasively measured arterial pressure in the dog
Conclusions and clinical relevanceMulti‐function monitors can contain components from various manufacturers. Clinicians should consider whether these have been validated in the species to be monitored. Both of the technologies studied here seem appropriate for use in dogs.

Inconsistency of allometric scaling for dissociative anesthesia of wild felids
Conclusion and clinical relevanceKX anesthesia established by allometric scaling of BMR from doses administered to domestic cats did not predict reliable anesthetic doses for wild cats. Dose rates calculated with this method must not be applied to these species. (Source: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia)

Therapeutic hypothermia applicable to cardiac surgery
ConclusionsTherapeutic hypothermia is an essential measure of neuroprotection during cardiac surgery that may be achieved most effectively by intravascular cooling using hypothermic CPB. For most cardiac surgical procedures, mild to modest (32–36 °C) TH will be sufficient to assure neuroprotection and will avoid most of the adverse effects of hypothermia that occur at lower body core temperatures.

Determination of the minimum infusion rate of alfaxalone during its co‐administration with fentanyl at three different doses by constant rate infusion intravenously in goats
Conclusions and clinical relevanceFentanyl reduces alfaxalone MIR in goats in a dose‐dependent manner. Immediate oxygen supplementation after induction of general anaesthesia is recommended to prevent hypoxaemia. Doses of fentanyl equal to or greater than 0.015 mg kg−1 hour−1 tend to be associated with severe excitatory behaviour and should be avoided when fentanyl is administered to goats.

Immobilization of wild giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) with dexmedetomidine–tiletamine–zolazepam
Conclusions and clinical relevanceDexMTZ produced a satisfactory immobilization and a smooth recovery for wild giant pandas while allowing approximately 55 minutes for planned noninvasive procedures. (Source: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia)

Comparison of invasive and noninvasive blood pressure measurements in anaesthetized horses using the Surgivet V9203
Conclusions and clinical relevanceThese results suggests that systolic, mean and diastolic NIBP measured using the Surgivet V9203 are a clinically acceptable alternative to IBP measurements in anaesthetized horses undergoing routine elective surgeries. (Source: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia)

Publication rate of studies presented at veterinary anaesthesia specialty meetings during the years 2003–2008
Conclusions and clinical relevanceThese data suggest that some of the abstracts reported preliminary findings. Therefore, caution is warranted when quoting abstracts as references in scientific publications. To date, major veterinary journals have not issued recommendations in their author guidelines addressing the use of abstracts as a reference. The authors propose the inclusion of such a statement in author guidelines. (Source: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia)

Sedative and cardiopulmonary effects of xylazine alone or in combination with methadone, morphine or tramadol in sheep
Conclusions and clinical relevanceThe combinations of methadone, morphine or tramadol with xylazine resulted in cardiopulmonary changes similar to those induced by xylazine alone in sheep. The combinations provided better sedation, principally at 15 minutes and 30 minutes following administration. (Source: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia)
