Propofol–medetomidine–ketamine total intravenous anaesthesia in thiafentanil–medetomidine‐immobilized impala (Aepyceros melampus)
Conclusions and clinical relevanceA propofol–medetomidine–ketamine combination could provide adequate anaesthesia for invasive procedures in impala. The propofol infusion should begin at 0.2 mg kg−1 minute−1 and be titrated to clinical effect. Oxygen supplementation and airway protection with a cuffed endotracheal tube are essential.

Comparison of medetomidine–morphine and medetomidine–methadone for sedation, isoflurane requirement and postoperative analgesia in dogs undergoing laparoscopy
Conclusion and clinical relevanceAt the dose used, sedation produced by both drugs when combined with medetomidine was equivalent, while volatile anaesthetic requirements and PR perioperatively were lower with methadone. Postoperative analgesia was deemed to be adequate for laparoscopy with either protocol, although methadone provided better analgesia 3 hours after surgery.

Controlled mechanical ventilation with constant positive end ‐expiratory pressure and alveolar recruitment manoeuvres during anaesthesia in laterally or dorsally recumbent horses
Conclusions and clinical relevanceVentilation with CMV, constant PEEP and interposed RM provided improved arterial oxygenation in horses in dorsal recumbency that lasted into the early recovery period, but had no benefit in horses in lateral recumbency. This mode of ventilation may provide a clinically practicable method of improving oxygenation in anaesthetized horses, especially in dorsal recumbency. (Source: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia)

The effect of MK ‐467, a peripheral α2‐adrenoceptor antagonist, on dexmedetomidine‐induced sedation and bradycardia after intravenous administration in conscious cats
Conclusions and clinical relevanceMK‐467 dose‐dependently attenuated the bradycardia associated with dexmedetomidine, and shortened the sedative effect without altering its quality. MK‐467 may be useful in attenuating reductions in HR in conscious cats administered dexmedetomidine. (Source: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia)

Ultrasound ‐guided subcostal oblique transversus abdominis plane block in canine cadavers
Conclusions and clinical relevanceThe ultrasound‐guided subcostal oblique TAP block provided adequate staining of the sensory innervation of the cranial abdominal wall. Further studies are required to evaluate the efficacy of this technique in blocking the nociceptive response in clinical procedures. (Source: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia)

Anesthesia and anesthetic action mechanism of essential oils of Aloysia triphylla and Cymbopogon flexuosus in silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen)
Conclusions and clinical relevanceThe EO of C. flexuosus induced effective sedation (25 μL L−1) and anesthesia (150 and 300 μL L−1) without short‐term mortality. The modulation of the BDZ site of the GABAA receptor in the anesthetic action mechanism of both EOs was not demonstrated. (Source: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia)

Effect of topical vapocoolant spray on perioperative pain response of unweaned calves to ear tagging and ear notching
Conclusions and clinical relevanceVapocoolant spray induced local anaesthesia and significantly reduced the pain response to ear tagging and ear notching in calves. Ear notching is more painful than ear tagging. Cryoanaesthesia is an effective option for reducing the perioperative pain associated with these simple husbandry procedures.
