“…Cardiac arrest is a complication of equine anaesthesia that has been poorly studied. Risk factors regarding perioperative mortality include an increased ASA physical status, age, surgery type, prolonged duration of anaesthesia and emergency procedure ( 1 ). In the present case, it was debatable if a 17 years old horse could be considered as geriatric.…”

“…Despite the advances and improvements in equine anaesthesia, mortality rate remains still high ( 3 ). A third of these fatalities is due to cardiac arrest, as reported in sick and healthy horses ( 1 ). Severe debilitating diseases and anaesthetic drugs-related factors have been described as leading causes of cardiac arrest in horses ( 1 ).…”

“…A third of these fatalities is due to cardiac arrest, as reported in sick and healthy horses ( 1 ). Severe debilitating diseases and anaesthetic drugs-related factors have been described as leading causes of cardiac arrest in horses ( 1 ). The occurrence of cardiac reflexes following change of hemodynamic conditions may also lead to this complication.…”

“…Peri-anaesthetic cardiac arrest, despite being uncommon, carries a poor outcome in horses ( 1 , 2 , 4 ), mainly because of the difficulties performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) maneuvers in this specie. An early detection of the complication and a trained staff are key-points for the potential success of CPR.…”

Successful Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in a Sevoflurane Anaesthetized Horse That Suffered Cardiac Arrest at Recovery

A 17-year-old mare undergoing dental surgery suffered a cardiac arrest while being transferred from the surgical theatre to the recovery box. This complication was diagnosed early, thus allowing a prompt start to the cardiopulmonary resuscitation maneuvers. External thoracic compressions, intermittent positive pressure ventilation, and adrenaline administration were at the core of this successful resuscitation. Although it was not possible to confirm the cause of cardiac arrest in this horse, a Bezold-Jarisch reflex due to potential decrease on venous return because of postural change and drug interactions was hypothesized. Based on this report, it appears advisable to smoothly change the position of anaesthetized patient; furthermore, the administration of drugs affecting cardiovascular hemodynamics or sympatho-vagal balance to animals while changing their recumbency should be avoided.
