Speed of reversal of vecuronium neuromuscular block with different doses of neostigmine in anesthetized dogs
Conclusions and clinical relevanceIncreasing the dose of neostigmine from 0.02 mg kg−1 to 0.04 mg kg−1 and 0.07 mg kg−1 produced faster and less variable reversal of vecuronium‐induced neuromuscular block in isoflurane‐anesthetized dogs. No ceiling effect was observed at this dose range. (Source: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia)

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)

Plasma bupivacaine concentrations following orbital injections in cats
Conclusions and clinical relevanceIn healthy cats, at doses up to 2 mg kg−1, bupivacaine peak plasma concentrations were approximately half that reported to cause arrhythmias or convulsive electroencephalogram (EEG) activity in cats, and about one‐sixth of that required to produce hypotension.

A transorbital approach to the maxillary nerve block in dogs: a cadaver study
Conclusions and clinical relevanceThe transorbital approach to the maxillary nerve block described here presents a viable alternative to the traditional percutaneous approach. Further study is required to confirm its efficacy and safety under clinical conditions. (Source: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia)

Electrical velocimetry for noninvasive cardiac output and stroke volume variation measurements in dogs undergoing cardiovascular surgery
Conclusions and clinical relevanceIn dogs undergoing cardiovascular surgery, EV provided accurate CO measurements compared with CIPAC, although its trending ability was poor. Further, SVV by EV, but not CVP, reliably predicted fluid responsiveness during mechanical ventilation in dogs. (Source: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia)

Effects of intravenous terbutaline on heart rate, arterial pressure and blood gases in anesthetized horses breathing air
Conclusions and clinical relevanceTerbutaline (2 μg kg−1) IV did not improve PaO2 and was associated with adverse cardiovascular effects during TIVA in healthy, laterally recumbent horses breathing air. (Source: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia)

Use of a perfusion index to confirm the presence of sciatic nerve blockade in dogs
Conclusions and clinical relevanceThe PI provided a reliable indication of successful sciatic nerve blockade in the clinical patients in this study. No increase in the PI by 15 minutes after bupivacaine administration around the sciatic nerve could indicate partial or total failure of anesthetic blockade.
