Recuperação anestésica em equinos, assistida e auxiliada por três pontos

Abstract

Knowing the risks and complications exist in the anesthetic recovery of horses, and the difficulties of access to modern methods of recovery, we created our own methodology through the union of some existing methods. The objective was to validate a method of recovery room with the aid of three points. 83 anesthetic recoveries were evaluated in horses, all performed in a room fit for anesthetic induction and recovery, with rings attached to 2.25 m high on each side wall. Anesthetized horses were divided into five groups according to the surgical procedure and anesthesia as follows: a total intravenous anesthesia group (n = 16) and four groups subdivided into ether anesthesia in abdominal surgery group (n = 18) of arthroscopy (n = 17), other orthopedic surgery (n = 18) and mixed group of surgeries (n = 18). He was placed on a horse on the mouth guard and head after tying up a rope on each side of the mouth, each string was passed on the ring side of their wall and secure the wizard through a window. Another rope was tied on the tail of the animal and safe for another assistant through a second window. We collected some parameters that can influence the recovery time. These parameters were correlated and statistical analysis was performed by Kruskal– Wallis method and performed the correlation test (p < 0.05). 83 recoveries were evaluated in eight recoveries with time exceeding two hours and three patients had complications - one of these problems without significance, a dislocation of the distal interphalangeal joint and a principle of myopathy. In parametric analysis showed significant difference (p <0.05) in recovery time between the group of abdominal surgery and the other groups. Only in the arthroscopic group had positive correlation (p <0.05) between the times: anesthesia, swallowing, and recovery station, the other groups only the duration of anesthesia did not correlate. Patients after elective surgery have lower recovery times and generally better quality, patients in emergency cases on average take longer to rise, which may not interfere with quality of recovery, provided that this period does not exceed two hours, the ideal is that after the end of the anesthesia team that will help the horse has the sensitivity to identify when and where patients will be necessary to advance or retard the recovery period for the quality. The methodology proves efficient, accessible to different situations, is easily applied and can be safely used.
