Veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia
-
To compare high definition oscillometry (HDO) to invasive blood pressure measurement in anaesthetized dogs. ⋯ Using trends and serial measurements rather than a single measurement for clinical decision making is recommended with both methods, when used as reported here.
-
A 10-year old Arabian mare had a slow-growing mass on the lower right mandible and required a large partial mandibulectomy. ⋯ Sevoflurane, dexmedetomidine and remifentanil infusions were suitable for a long and invasive procedure.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of pressure support ventilation during weaning on ventilation and oxygenation indices in healthy horses recovering from general anesthesia.
To determine if pressure support ventilation (PSV) weaning from general anesthesia affects ventilation or oxygenation in horses. ⋯ Pressure support ventilation (PSV) weaning had a better respiratory outcome. A higher VT , VT /body weight, PaO2 /FiO2 ratio and a lower fR /VT ratio and Pe'CO2 were accurate in predicting the effect of weaning in healthy horses recovering from general anesthesia.
