“…Dogs may present with clinical signs including cough, dyspnea, syncope, weight loss and lethargy. Auscultation may reveal harsh lung sounds and a right apical systolic murmur over the tricuspid valve due to tricuspid regurgitation, a gallop rhythm and splitting of the second heart sound due to pulmonary hypertension [1][2][3][4].…”

Dogs with heartworm disease may present for procedures that require anesthesia. This article is a brief, practical review of anesthetic techniques for dogs with heartworm. Dogs with heartworm, such as in a shelter that undergo spay and neuter procedures, may be safely anesthetized prior to heartworm treatment. The dog presenting with caval syndrome may require emergent anesthesia for extraction of the heartworms; anesthetic drugs and potential adverse effects are discussed. The anesthetic agents that have been used are discussed.

“…A recent article looked at anesthesia in heartwormpositive dogs undergoing spay or neuter procedures in a shelter [2]. All dogs had an American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) status of I or II; I is defined as being normal heathy patients and II are patients with mild systemic disease [6].…”

“…As a result, surgical extraction is preferred for managing severe HW disease [4,7,8]. As HW directly affects the cardiovascular system, patients are typically classified as 'at-risk' for anesthesia [9]. The monitoring of the cardiovascular system is essential for safe surgery and anesthesia [7].…”

Heartworm (HW) disease, caused by Dirofilaria immitis, is a life-threatening ailment in dogs. HW disrupts blood flow and decreases cardiac output (CO). The accurate monitoring of CO during HW extraction is pivotal for patient survival and overall health. Objective: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of using impedance cardiography (ICG) as a non-invasive approach for monitoring CO during interventional HW extraction. Methods: Two cases of HW infections were treated via surgical extraction. The CO and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were monitored using the ICG technique during the anesthesia stabilization, extraction process, and post-extraction phases. Results: In Case 1, the CO increased by 115% post-procedure, and in Case 2, the CO increased by 116%. In contrast, the MAP varied between the two cases. The ICG method provided real-time CO data without major disruptions during the extraction surgery. Conclusion: The ICG technique for CO monitoring during interventional HW extractions is effective.
