Feline procedural sedation and analgesia: When, why and how

Abstract: Practical relevance: Procedural sedation and analgesia (PSA) describes the process of depressing a patient’s conscious state to perform unpleasant, minimally invasive procedures, and is part of the daily routine in feline medicine. Maintaining cardiopulmonary stability is critical while peforming PSA. Clinical challenges: Decision-making with respect to drug choice and dosage regimen, taking into consideration the cat’s health status, behavior, any concomitant diseases and the need for analgesia, represents an… Show more

“…In cats, opioids are not always considered first-choice drugs owing to the reduced glucuronidation activity that can increase the risk of toxicity when doses and intervals are not administered appropriately [ 80 ]. The main side effects following high doses of tramadol are sympathetic responses such as mydriasis, hypertension, tachycardia, and an increase in adrenal hormone concentration (e.g., NE, epinephrine, dopamine, met-enkephalin).…”

“…Experimentally, tramadol (1 mg/kg) and acepromazine (0.1 mg/kg), both SC, were evaluated on pressure and thermal thresholds. Tramadol monotherapy offered limited effects on nociceptive thermal and pressure stimuli, but improvements were observed when administered with acepromazine [ 80 ]. In many cases, the neuroleptoanalgesia afforded by acepromazine increases the weak analgesic effect of the opioid.…”

“…Surgical and/or diagnostic procedures in cats may require intense sedation or even general anesthesia. Depending on the anesthetic protocol used, it is possible to observe prolonged recovery time of the patient, a fact that requires greater monitoring and involves a higher incidence of side effects (Papastefanou et al, 2015;Simon & Steagall, 2020). The benefits of using sedative protocols in cats aim to reduce excitability, fear and stress derived from the manipulation process (Simon & Steagall, 2020).…”

The benefits of using sedative protocols in cats aim to reduce excitability, fear and stress derived from the manipulation process (Simon & Steagall, 2020). Dexmedetomidine is a α2-adrenergic receptor agonists drug such as xylazine, detomidine, medetomidine, clonidine and romifidine (Papastefanou et al, 2015;Murdock et al, 2020).…”
