Use of brachial plexus blockade and medetomidine-ketamine-isoflurane anaesthesia for repair of radio-ulna fracture in an adult cheetah (acinonyx jubatus)

Abstract: BackgroundRegional anaesthetic techniques have been used in combination with systemic analgesics during small animal surgery to provide multimodal analgesia. Brachial plexus nerves block using local anaesthetics provides analgesia of the thoracic limb through desensitization of the nerves that provide sensory and motor innervation. This has been shown to reduce intra-operative anesthetic requirements and provide postoperative pain relief. Decreasing the doses of general anaesthetics allows more stable cardiopu… Show more

“…Other studies have described the saphenous nerve block using US guidance (9,12). To the authors' knowledge, only two veterinary studies on wild felids describe peripheral nerve blocks for the thoracic limb, respectively, blinded and with use of nerve stimulation (NS) (13,14), and one report on US-guided femoral and sciatic nerve block in a Bennett's Wallaby (Macropus rufogriseus rufogriseus) (15).…”
