EMERGENCIES AND COMPLICATIONS IN SMALL ANIMAL ANAESTHESIA (I)
Abstract
General anaesthesia is produced by a controlled depression of the CNS which it is associated with a doserelated cardiorespiratory depression. Therefore, general anaesthesia is always associated to a vital risk, even in the healthy patient. There are few studies in Veterinary Medicine determining the percentages of morbi-mortality associated to general anaesthesia. However, it has been observed that common anaesthetic accidents and complications occur during the recovery from anaesthesia. The correct preoperative assessment of the patient and the continuos monitorization of the anaesthetized patient until fully recovery has been accomplished, allow an early diagnosis and treatment of the most common anaesthetic complications. These accidents and complications occurring commonly in small animal anaesthesia are reviewed in the present paper.Downloads
