“…They have the benefits of a relatively wide variety of licenced products and routes of administration as well as being familiar to owners. There is increasing evidence of different effect profiles between the different licenced NSAIDs (Hopster and van Eps ; McFadzean and Love ) but although there are potential deleterious side effects (Andrews and McConnico ; McFadzean and Love ) this does not appear to preclude their widespread use in horses.…”

“…Local anaesthetics are the only agents that completely block sensory input and loco‐regional anaesthesia adds significantly to multimodal analgesia. Although as yet published evidence for significant benefit is limited to case reports (Hopster and van Eps ; McFadzean and Love ), most clinicians appreciate the added value of loco‐regional anaesthesia when it is included in pain management protocols. Evidence for the analgesic efficacy of systemic local anaesthetics is weaker and side effects can occur (McFadzean and Love ).…”

Anaesthetic management of 10 horses undergoing cervical intervertebral body fusion ‘wobbler surgery’

Surgical techniques for cervical intervertebral body fusion ‘wobbler surgery’ are frequently reported in the literature, but the anaesthetic management is rarely described. Considering the invasive and complex nature of the surgical procedure, prolonged anaesthetic duration and potential for pre‐existing and post‐operative neurological deficits, the anaesthetic and analgesic approach poses specific challenges. This article aims to discuss the anaesthetic management, intra‐operative complications and recovery experience in 10 horses undergoing surgical treatment of cervical spinal cord compression. The four types of intra‐operative complication encountered generally responded well to first‐line treatment. All horses recovered successfully, and recovery quality, in most cases, was good despite the presence of several factors known to adversely affect recovery quality. However, the need for additional intra‐operative ketamine and relatively high isoflurane concentrations to obtain an adequate anaesthetic depth despite provision of partial intravenous anaesthesia and multi‐modal analgesia indicates that further analgesic techniques may be warranted.
