The effects of acupuncture point Pericardium 6 on hydromorphone‐induced nausea and vomiting in healthy dogs
Conclusions and clinical relevancePericardium 6 acupuncture reduced the incidence of hydromorphone‐induced vomiting in healthy dogs. This cost‐effective technique can improve patient well‐being and comfort during the perioperative period. (Source: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia)

Nalbuphine and butorphanol reverse opioid‐induced respiratory depression but increase arousal in etorphine‐immobilized goats (Capra hircus)
ConclusionsNalbuphine and butorphanol significantly improved respiratory function in immobilized goats, with butorphanol eliciting a greater positive response than nalbuphine. However, both opioid agonist‐antagonists partly reversed etorphine‐induced immobilization. Clinical relevanceButorphanol and nalbuphine can be used to improve respiratory parameters in etorphine‐immobilized wildlife, with butorphanol being more effective, but unwanted arousal can occur.

Prevention of laryngospasm with rocuronium in cats: a dose‐finding study
Conclusions and clinical relevanceRocuronium 0.3 mg kg−1 and 0.6 mg kg−1 consistently decreased the completeness and duration of the laryngeal response to water spray, and reduced the number of arytenoid adductive movements in response to that stimulus. However, a laryngeal response was never completely prevented. Rocuronium 0.3 mg kg−1 may be useful for facilitating tracheal intubation. Positive pressure ventilation must be available for cats administered rocuronium. (Source: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia)

Single‐syringe ketamine–propofol for induction of anaesthesia in rabbits
Conclusions and clinical relevanceThe IV ketamine–propofol admixture had a dose‐dependent effect. Haemodynamic function was well maintained in all groups but hypoxemia was observed at the highest doses and oxygen administration is recommended. Addition of premedication or topical lidocaine is advisable to make intubation easier. (Source: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia)

Intraperitoneal bupivacaine with or without incisional bupivacaine for postoperative analgesia in dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomy
Conclusion and clinical relevanceBupivacaine IP and carprofen SC after morphine IM did provide satisfactory postoperative analgesia in dogs undergoing OHE with the anaesthetic protocol used. There appears to be no clinical advantage to adding bupivacaine INC. Neither protocol could prevent the development of primary hyperalgesia. (Source: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia)

Does inflammation induced by ultraviolet B and heat rekindling alter pain‐related behaviour in rats?
Conclusions and clinical relevancePain associated with UVB/HR model induction is below the threshold required to affect rat burrowing behaviour and therefore questions the face validity of UVB/HR as a translational model of inflammatory pain. (Source: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia)
