Effect of tepoxalin on renal function and hepatic enzymes in dogs exposed to hypotension with isoflurane
Conclusions and clinical relevanceTepoxalin did not cause significant effects on renal function or cause hepatic injury in healthy dogs exposed to hypotension with isoflurane, when administered pre‐ or postanesthetic and continued for five consecutive days.

The immune response to anesthesia: Part 2 sedatives, opioids, and injectable anesthetic agents
ConclusionSedatives, injectable anesthetics, opioids, and local anesthetics have immunomodulatory effects that may have positive or negative consequences on disease processes such as endotoxemia, generalized sepsis, tumor growth and metastasis, and ischemia‐reperfusion injury. Therefore, anesthetists should consider the immunomodulatory effects of anesthetic drugs when designing anesthetic protocols for their patients. (Source: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia)

Cardiovascular function during maintenance of anaesthesia with isoflurane or alfaxalone infusion in greyhounds experiencing blood loss
Conclusion and clinical relevanceNo difference in oxygen delivery or severity of shock was observed when either inhaled isoflurane or intravenous alfaxalone infusion was used for maintenance of anaesthesia in greyhounds experiencing blood loss. There appears to be no clinical advantage to choosing one anaesthetic agent for maintenance of anaesthesia over the other in a dog experiencing blood loss.

Accelerated induction of etorphine immobilization in blue wildebeest (Connochaetes taurinus) through the addition of hyaluronidase
Conclusion and clinical relevanceHyaluronidase can reduce the time to immobilization when used in the immobilizing dart, and might be usefully incorporated into etorphine combinations for darting wildlife. (Source: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia)
