Tóm tắt

SummaryPatient data, physiological variables and recovery quality were extracted from 1,314 records of equine anaesthetics covering a 7‐year period and analysed retrospectively. Better recovery quality was significantly associated with shorter duration of anaesthesia, longer recovery times, less invasive surgery, a lower pulse rate at induction and higher pulse and respiratory rates during anaesthesia. Nineteen animals suffered serious anaesthetic‐related problems (1.4% incidence) and 9 died (0.68% incidence). Clinical treatment of hypotension during anaesthesia significantly reduced the hypotensive index but did not significantly alter the recovery quality or incidence of post‐anaesthetic myopathy. The severity of the myopathy was, however, markedly reduced in the animals treated for hypotension.
