Influence of metamizole on 1) minimal alveolar concentration of sevoflurane in dogs and 2) on thermal and mechanical nociception in conscious dogs
Conclusion and clinical relevanceMetamizole did not induce an anaesthetic sparing effect. In awake dogs metamizole induced only mild and short cutaneous anti‐nociception. Metamizole as the sole analgesic drug in the perioperative periode is not recommended. (Source: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia)

Alfaxalone versus alfaxalone–dexmedetomidine anaesthesia by immersion in oriental fire‐bellied toads (Bombina orientalis)
Conclusions and clinical relevanceThe addition of dexmedetomidine to an alfaxalone‐based solution for immersion anaesthesia provided some analgesia in oriental fire‐bellied toads, but failed to potentiate the level of unconsciousness and appeared to lighten the depth of anaesthesia. This limitation renders the combination unsuitable for anaesthetizing oriental fire‐bellied toads for invasive procedures. (Source: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia)

Comparison of the effects of propofol and emulsified isoflurane alone or combined with dexmedetomidine on induction of anesthesia in dogs
Conclusions and clinical relevanceThere were no clinically significant differences among the groups in induction quality. In PD and EID, but not in P, PR and fR were decreased after induction. The EID combination resulted in smooth and rapid induction and recovery and thus may be useful clinically for induction of anesthesia. (Source: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia)

Evaluation of the antiemetic efficacy of maropitant in dogs medicated with morphine and acepromazine
Conclusions and clinical relevanceMaropitant (1 mg kg−1) SC reduced the frequency of morphine‐induced emesis by as much as 70% when administered 30 minutes in advance. Simultaneous administration of maropitant and morphine–acepromazine produced no measurable effect on the frequency of retching or vomiting. (Source: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia)

Conclusions and clinical relevanceThe combination of xylazine–diazepam–ketamine provides effective short‐term anaesthesia in mules under field conditions. (Source: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia)

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.

Evaluation of the non‐calibrated pulse contour cardiac output monitor FloTrac/Vigileo against thermodilution in standing horses
Conclusions and clinical relevanceThe FloTrac system, originally designed for use in humans, neither measured absolute CO in standing horses accurately nor tracked relative changes in CO measured by TD correctly. The false dependence of COFloTrac on arterial blood pressure further discourages the use of this technique in horses. (Source: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia)

Effects of a prolonged infusion of fentanyl, with or without atropine, on the minimum alveolar concentration of isoflurane in dogs
Conclusions and clinical relevanceIn this study, fentanyl reduced the ISOMAC by approximately 50%. The ISOMAC remained stable throughout the 300 minute CRI of fentanyl, suggesting no cumulative effect of the opioid. Atropine did not influence ISOMAC in dogs.

Reversal of neuromuscular block in companion animals
ConclusionsResidual NMB has been shown to increase morbidity and mortality in humans and needs to be avoided. It can be detected only by adequate neuromuscular monitoring. The proper use of reversal agents avoids residual NMB and recurarization should not occur. Anticholinesterase inhibitors, such as edrophonium and neostigmine have been used to reverse NMB when the need for this has been established. Reversal is influenced by several factors and a number of undesirable side‐ effects of these drugs have been reported. Sugammadex, a γ‐cyclodextrin, which was designed specifically to encapsulate rocuronium, is more rapi...

Comparison of lidocaine, lidocaine–morphine, lidocaine–tramadol or bupivacaine for neural blockade of the brachial plexus in fat‐tailed lambs
Conclusions and clinical relevanceThe addition of morphine or tramadol to lidocaine did not affect the duration of antinociception of lidocaine for brachial plexus block in fat‐tailed lambs. Administration of bupivacaine provided a prolonged duration of action without obvious adverse effects. (Source: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia)

Effect of pulse width on transesophageal atrial pacing in dogs
Conclusions and clinical relevanceUse of 10.0 or 5.0 ms PW to perform TAP minimized the power required to pace the atria, while a PW of 10.0 ms maximized the size of the ZOC. (Source: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia)
