Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan PREFACE It is my sincere hope that the reader will find the unique question-and-answer approach to be a breath of fresh air when compared with previously published texts on veterinary anesthesia and pain management. The contributing authors are noted experts in various veterinary medical specialties, including anesthesiology, clinical pharmacol­ ogy, critical care, internal medicine, and neurology. Each has included subject matter that is of clinical relevance and interest. I am grateful for their diligent labors and will be forever in their debt. As in other Secrets volumes, this book has been presented in an informative and easily understood style. It has been organized into nine sections: Patient Management, Patient Preparation, Pharmacology, Patient Monitoring, Perianesthetic Complications, Anesthesia and Systemic Disease, Special Anesthetic Considerations, Regional Anes­ thesia, and Pain Management for Small Animals. Each section contains salient infor­ mation related to anesthetic management of small and large domestic species as well as amphibians, birds, camelids, laboratory animals, reptiles, and other wild animals. The inclusion of concepts and techniques related to pain management addresses the vital role of this increasingly emphasized aspect of veterinary medical care both in and out of the surgical theater. I want to acknowledge William Lamsback and Mary Beth Murphy at Hanley & Belfus for offering their encouragement and inspiration to make this book more than a virtual reality. Finally, I would like to dedicate this book to my colleagues, friends, and family (especially Erma, Kaitlin, and Jared) for their unwavering support of my professional efforts and to the memory of my father, Dr. Daryle E. Greene, who recognized the value of persistence in all worthwhile endeavors. Stephen A. Greene, DVM, MS, DACVA xiii I. Patient Management I. AIRWAY MAINTENANCE Jane E.

    Equine Health Studies Program 2008-2010 Equine Research Report

    Equine Health Studies Program 2008-2010 Equine Research Report Scientific studies conducted to help advance equine health and well-being LETTER FROM OUR DEAN The Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine is pleased to once again present the Equine Health Studies Program’s Equine Research Report, which covers scientific activities of the program from 2008 through 2010. Central to the program’s mission is the health, well- being and performance of horses supported through state- of-the-art research that benefits the horse-owning public in Louisiana and beyond. As a former equine surgeon and faculty member, I have watched the EHSP grow and flourish, as evidenced by contents of this Research Report, translating research into practical solutions for our broad- base constituents and clients. In addition to its research prowess, the program’s dedicated faculty and staff provide clinical service, education, and community outreach. The EHSP has made significant advances in research collaborations with industry to extend its work in the areas of laminitis prevention; lameness, orthopedics and biomechanics; reproductive disorders; respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases including the treatment and prevention of gastric ulcer disease; equine Cushing’s disease; and surgery that will impact equine veterinary care for years to come. The EHSP continues to build and maintain strong relationships and community engagement with the stakeholders of Louisiana so that it can be responsive to the needs of horses in the region. In the aftermath of Hurricanes Gustav and Ike and the Gulf Oil Spill, the SVM was able to step in and help with the rescue and care of animals and wildlife in south Louisiana.

    Current Fluid Therapy Topics and Recommendations During Anesthetic Procedures Andrew Claude, DVM, DACVAA Mississippi State University Mississippi State, MS • Intravenous fluid administration is recommended during general anesthesia, even during short procedures. • The traditional IV fluid rate of 10 mls/kg/hr during general anesthesia is under review. • Knowledge of a variety of IV fluids, and their applications, is essential when choosing anesthetic protocols for different medical procedures. Anesthetic drug effects on the cardiovascular system • Almost all anesthetic drugs have the potential to adversely affect the cardiovascular system. • General anesthetic vapors (isoflurane, sevoflurane) cause a dose-dependent, peripheral vasodilation. • Alpha-2 agonists initially cause peripheral hypertension with reflex bradycardia leading to a dose-dependent decreased patient cardiac index. As the drug effects wane, centrally mediated bradycardia and hypotension are common side effects. • Phenothiazine (acepromazine) tranquilizers are central dopamine and peripheral alpha receptor antagonists. This family of drugs produces dose-dependent sedation and peripheral vasodilation (hypotension). • Dissociative NMDA antagonists (ketamine, tiletamine) increase sympathetic tone soon after administration. When dissociative NMDA antagonists are used as induction agents in patients with sympathetic exhaustion or decreased cardiac reserve (morbidly ill patients), these drugs could further depress myocardial contractility. • Propofol can depress both myocardial contractility and vascular tone resulting in marked hypotension. Propofol’s negative effects on the cardiovascular system can be especially problematic in ill patients. • Potent mu agonist opioids can enhance vagally induced bradycardia. Why is IV fluid therapy important during general anesthesia? • Cardiac output (CO) equals heart rate (HR) X stroke volume (SV); IV fluids help maintain adequate fluid volume, preload, and sufficient cardiac output.
  • Pharmacology – Inhalant Anesthetics

    Pharmacology – Inhalant Anesthetics

    Pharmacology- Inhalant Anesthetics Lyon Lee DVM PhD DACVA Introduction • Maintenance of general anesthesia is primarily carried out using inhalation anesthetics, although intravenous anesthetics may be used for short procedures. • Inhalation anesthetics provide quicker changes of anesthetic depth than injectable anesthetics, and reversal of central nervous depression is more readily achieved, explaining for its popularity in prolonged anesthesia (less risk of overdosing, less accumulation and quicker recovery) (see table 1) Table 1. Comparison of inhalant and injectable anesthetics Inhalant Technique Injectable Technique Expensive Equipment Cheap (needles, syringes) Patent Airway and high O2 Not necessarily Better control of anesthetic depth Once given, suffer the consequences Ease of elimination (ventilation) Only through metabolism & Excretion Pollution No • Commonly administered inhalant anesthetics include volatile liquids such as isoflurane, halothane, sevoflurane and desflurane, and inorganic gas, nitrous oxide (N2O). Except N2O, these volatile anesthetics are chemically ‘halogenated hydrocarbons’ and all are closely related. • Physical characteristics of volatile anesthetics govern their clinical effects and practicality associated with their use.

While the role of pharmacists in pain management was first addressed inthe Translator Summer 2012 edition1, this rapidly evolving area of pharmacy practice has generated a number of innovative models that highlight the unique role of the pharmacist. As Canadian pharmacists embrace expanded scopes of practice, there is an opportunity to specifically leverage their services to assist patients in managing their pain. This issue of the Translator highlights four different approaches to enhanced involvement of pharmacists in the management of chronic pain: n Pharmacist-led management of chronic pain: a randomized controlled exploratory trial from the UK n A pharmacist-initiated intervention trial in osteoarthritis n A pharmacist-led pain consultation for patients with concomitant substance use disorders n The impact of pharmacists in translating evidence to patients with low back pain 1 The Translator, Summer 2012, 6:3 Pharmacist-led management of chronic pain in primary care: results from a randomized controlled exploratory trial Bruhn H, Bond CM, Elliott AM, et al.

  • Femoral Nerve Block Versus Spinal Anesthesia for Lower Limb

    Femoral Nerve Block Versus Spinal Anesthesia for Lower Limb

    Alexandria Journal of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care 44 Femoral Nerve Block versus Spinal Anesthesia for Lower Limb Peripheral Vascular Surgery By Ahmed Mansour, MD Assistant Professor of Anesthesia, Faculty of Medicine, Alexandria University. Abstract Perioperative cardiac complications occur in 4% to 6% of patients undergoing infrainguinal revascularization under general, spinal, or epidural anesthesia. The risk may be even greater in patients whose cardiac disease cannot be fully evaluated or treated before urgent limb salvage operations. Prompted by these considerations, we investigated the feasibility and results of using femoral nerve block with infiltration of the genito4femoral nerve branches in these high-risk patients. Methods: Forty peripheral vascular reconstruction of lower limbs were performed under either spinal anesthesia (20 patients) or femoral nerve block with infiltration of genito-femoral nerve branches supplemented with local infiltration at the site of dissection as needed (20 patients). All patients had arterial lines. Arterial blood pressure and electrocardiographic monitoring was continued during surgery, in PACU and in the intensive care units. Results: Operations included femoral-femoral, femoral-popliteal bypass grafting and thrombectomy. The intra-operative events showed that the mean time needed to perform the block and dose of analgesics and sedatives needed during surgery was greater in group I (FNB,) compared to group II [P=0.01*, P0.029* , P0.039*], however, the time needed to start surgery was shorter in group I than in group II [P=0. 039]. There were no block failures in either group, but local infiltration in the area of the dissection with 2 ml (range 1-5 ml) of 1% lidocaine was required in 4 (20%) patients in FNB group vs none in the spinal group.

This information or content and conclusions are those of the author and should not be construed as the official position or policy of, nor should any endorsements be inferred by HRSA, HHS or the U.S. Government. Disclosures Stephen Wyatt has nothing to disclose Objectives • Understand the complexities of treating acute and chronic pain in patients with opioid use disorder (OUD). • Understand the various approaches to treating the OUD patient on an agonist medication for acute or chronic pain. • Understand how acute and chronic pain can be treated when the OUD patient is on an antagonist medication. Speaker Notes: The general Outline of the module is to first address the difficulties surrounding treating pain in the opioid dependent patient. Then to address the ways that patients with pain can be approached on either an agonist of antagonist opioid use disorder treatment. Pain and Substance Use Disorder • Potential for mutual mistrust: – Provider • drug seeking • dependency/intolerance • fear – Patient • lack of empathy • avoidance • fear Speaker Notes: It is the provider that needs to be well educated and skillful in working with this population. Through a better understanding of opioid use disorders as a disease, the prejudice surrounding the encounter with the patient may be reduced.
