Behavioral and cardiopulmonary effects of dexmedetomidine alone and in combination with butorphanol, methadone, morphine or tramadol in conscious sheep
Conclusions and clinical relevanceThe combination of dexmedetomidine with butorphanol, methadone, morphine or tramadol resulted in similar changes in cardiopulmonary function and did not improve sedation when compared with dexmedetomidine alone. (Source: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia)

Effects of orally administered enalapril on blood pressure and hemodynamic response to vasopressors during isoflurane anesthesia in healthy dogs
ConclusionsIn healthy dogs, enalapril administered 90 minutes prior to isoflurane anesthesia increases the degree of intra‐anesthetic hypotension and the number of interventions required to correct moderate‐to‐severe hypotension. Clinical relevanceDogs receiving angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitors on the day of anesthesia may exhibit clinically significant intra‐anesthetic hypotension.

Evaluation of the influence of atipamezole on the postoperative analgesic effect of buprenorphine in cats undergoing a surgical ovariohysterectomy
Conclusions and clinical relevanceAtipamezole (0.0375 mg kg−1 IM) administration did not significantly affect the postoperative pain scores in cats after OVH. Preoperative administration of buprenorphine (20 μg kg−1 IM) did not provide adequate postoperative analgesia for feline OVH. (Source: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia)

Cardiovascular, respiratory and metabolic responses to apnea induced by atlanto ‐occipital intrathecal lidocaine injection in anesthetized horses
Conclusions and clinical relevanceApnea immediately exacerbated hypoxemia and hypercapnia and rapidly caused hemodynamic instability. Apnea in hypoxemic anesthetized horses is associated with a serious risk for progress to cardiovascular collapse. (Source: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia)

Clinical effects of midazolam or lidocaine co ‐induction with a propofol target‐controlled infusion (TCI) in dogs
Conclusions and clinical relevanceMidazolam, but not lidocaine, provided a significant reduction in PTCI requirement for induction of anaesthesia thereby allowing successful intubation. However, cardiovascular and respiratory effects were not different between the groups. (Source: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia)

Two methods to adapt the human haemoglobin –oxygen dissociation algorithm to the blood of white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) and to determine the accuracy of pulse oximetry
ConclusionAdapting the oxygen saturation algorithm to consider the left shift of the ODC provides a useful tool for monitoring oxygen status, especially as pulse oximetry is insufficiently accurate. Experimental determination of the complete Hill curve is required to further validate and optimize the algorithm for use in the white rhinoceros. Clinical relevanceThe method will facilitate the accurate interpretation of oxygen saturation calculated by blood gas analysis in white rhinoceros. (Source: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia)

Isoflurane MAC determination in dogs using three intensities of constant ‐current electrical stimulation
Conclusions and clinical relevanceIsoflurane MAC is affected by current intensity and anatomic site. Current intensities of 30 mA and 50 mA provided consistent results when applied to the tail, and thoracic and pelvic limbs that did not differ from those obtained using the tail clamp. This electrical stimulation can be used in place of the tail clamp in MAC studies in dogs. (Source: Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia)
