    Effect of recumbency and body condition score on open-lung positive end-expiratory pressure and respiratory system compliance following a stepwise lung recruitment manoeuvre in healthy dogs during general anaesthesia
    (Research in Veterinary Science, 2020) García Sanz, Virginia; Canfrán Arrabe, Susana; Álvarez Gómez De Segura, Ignacio; Aguado Domínguez, Delia
    The aim was to assess the effects of recumbency and body condition score (BCS) on open-lung positive end-expiratory pressure (OL-PEEP) and quasistatic respiratory system compliance (Crs) following stepwise lung recruitment manoeuvre (RM) in healthy dogs under general anaesthesia. Thirty-four dogs were anaesthetised and mechanically ventilated (tidal volume of 10 mL/kg) without PEEP for 1 min (baseline). A stepwise RM was then performed and the individual OL-PEEP was subsequently applied. The Crs was registered at baseline and every 10-min for 50 min after RM. Dogs were classified into either dorsal or lateral recumbency groups, and as normal (score 4–5/9) or high (≥6/9) BCS groups. The OL-PEEP was higher in lateral than in dorsal recumbency (P = .002), but differences were not observed between normal and high BCS (P = .865). The Crs was increased from baseline at all time points after RM in all groups. The Crs did not differ between dorsally and laterally recumbent dogs at any time point. However, the baseline Crs was significantly lower in dogs with a high BCS than in those with a normal BCS (P < .001); therefore, the absolute change from baseline was considered when comparing Crs after the RM and it was similar in both BCS groups. In conclusion, in anaesthetised healthy dogs the OL-PEEP following RM was lower when dogs were positioned in dorsal than in lateral recumbency. The Crs after RM remained unchanged regardless of the dogs' recumbency. A stepwise RM followed by OL-PEEP could compensate for the potential negative impact of moderately increased BCS on Crs.

    Postoperative pain in dogs undergoing either laparoscopic or open ovariectomy
    (The Veterinary Journal, 2024) Fuertes Recuero, Manuel; Álvarez Gómez De Segura, Ignacio; Sánchez López, A.; Suárez Redondo, María; Canfrán Arrabe, Susana; Penelo Hidalgo, Silvia; Fontanillas Pérez, Juan Carlos; Ortiz Díez, Gustavo
    A prospective, quasi-experimental, clinical trial was performed to assess acute postoperative pain in healthy female dogs following elective ovariectomy by either laparoscopy (n=13) or laparotomy (n=14). Pain was assessed by both a veterinarian at the hospital, and by the owner once the patient was discharged. The Spanish version of the short form of the Glasgow Composite Measuring Pain Scale (CMPS-SF) was used. Pain scores were assessed by the veterinarian preoperatively and at 1, 2, 4, and 6 h after extubation, whilst owner-assessed scores were performed preoperatively and at postoperative days 0, 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7. Data were compared with Mann-Whitney-U test. Veterinarian-assessed CMPS-SF scores were different between both groups at all postoperative times but not at baseline, being below 6/24 in all dogs in the laparoscopy group, but equal to or greater than 6/24 in the laparotomy group at 1 h (n=12), and 4 h (n=4) (P<0.001 and P=0.029, respectively). There were also differences in pain scores between both groups at 2 h (P=0.012) and 6 h (P=0.007), being below 6/24 in all of them. However, there were no differences in owner assessments between groups. In conclusion, ovariectomy performed by laparoscopy induced lower pain scores that were below the pain threshold set by the CMPS-SF during the first 6 h postoperatively. After discharge, and up to one week later, ongoing owner-assessed scores suggest no pain was induced with neither of the techniques. Owners were proactive allowing real-time pain assessment to be reported. The development and validation of instruments for acute pain assessment by owners is warranted, as these tools are currently lacking.
