Anesthesia

Two doses of methadone + carprofen appear to provide sufficient pain control for up to 12 hours in dogs undergoing TPLO.

Diplomates of ACVAA and ECVAA prefer PNB as the locoregional method of pelvic limb anesthesia in dogs undergoing TPLO.

Additional studies are required to evaluate CPSP development after TPLO.

Participating in a PAC was associated with more positive perceptions of anesthesiologists.

The US-guided proximal RUMM block performed at the axillary level minimized fentanyl requirement during thoracic limb surgery.

Dexketoprofen administered every 8 hours during the first 24 hours postoperatively is noninferior to methadone in controlling pain after orthopaedic surgery in dogs.

Any increase in D-dimer concentration after elective neutering, elective orthopedic, and posttraumatic orthopedic surgical procedures should be regarded as clinically important.

In combination with epidural anaesthesia, propofol TIVA improved MAP and is a suitable alternative to isoflurane in orthopaedic surgery of the hind limb in healthy dogs.

Meloxicam OTMS had similar effects on peak vertical force, motor activity and pain sensitization as previously reported for oral meloxicam in OA cats

In mechanically ventilated, healthy, isoflurane-anesthetized dogs, PPV predicted fluid responsiveness to volume expansion
