BACKGROUND Anaesthesia is mandatory for disbudding and castrating calves and lambs of any age, in Switzerland. According to the "anaesthesia delegation model" (ADM), anaesthesia for disbudding calves <3 weeks of age and castrating calves and lambs <2 weeks of age may be administered by certified farmers. Experience with this unique model is not available. The aim was to evaluate the experience ...

Objective- This study aims at validating the use of serum amyloid A (SAA) as biomarkers of surgical stress using Quantitative ELISA in the Sahel goats. The experiment evaluated SAA profiles of Sahel goats post Diazepam-Lidocaine (DLC) and Diazepam-Bupivacaine (DBC) local anaesthesia. Expressions of SAA in the Sahel goat post rumen skin clamp fixation techniques of rumenotomy wi...

An 11-year-old Holstein mare was referred after profuse bilateral epistaxis due to fungal plaques. Clinical evaluation unremarkable except for mild tachycardia. General anaesthesia induced coil embolisation of the left internal carotid artery, right external and maxillary arteries. Under anaesthesia, cardiorespiratory stability ensured, six coils were deployed under fluoroscopy, whereas three p...

This manuscript describes 14 cases of thoracic spinal anaesthesia for patients with certain such as laparoscopic surgeries and other upper abdominal surgeries. Although routinely not used, has been demonstrated a safe effective method various The procedure shown beneficial in maintaining hemodynamic stability these reducing side effects encountered general anaesthesia. study the segmental expla...

Repeated anaesthesia may be required in experimental protocols and in daily veterinary practice, but anaesthesia is known to alter physiological parameters in GPs (Cavia porcellus, GPs). This study investigated the effects of repeated anaesthesia with either medetomidine-midazolam-fentanyl (MMF) or isoflurane (Iso) on physiological parameters in the GP. Twelve GPs were repeatedly administered w...

BACKGROUND Although in modern anaesthesia, monitoring depth of anaesthesia and quality of neuromuscular block are routine, monitoring of analgesia still remains challenging. Recently, the surgical stress index (SSI), derived from finger photoplethysmographic signal, was introduced as a surrogate variable reflecting the nociception-antinociception balance. This study aimed at evaluating the SSI ...

BACKGROUND Intraoperative awareness (IA) is diagnosed when patients can recall their surroundings or an event related to the surgery that occurred while they were under general anaesthesia. The female gender and Caesarean section are considered to be contributing factors. The aim of the present study was to analyse the frequency of IA in patients undergoing general anaesthesia either for Caesar...
