Diplomates of ACVAA and ECVAA prefer PNB as the locoregional method of pelvic limb anesthesia in dogs undergoing TPLO.

The influence of the choice of preemptive analgesia on long-term postsurgical pain after TPLO in dogs

Additional studies are required to evaluate CPSP development after TPLO.

Client perceptions of the value of veterinary anesthesiologist involvement with anesthesia and pain management, benefits of a preanesthetic consultation, and quality of care for dogs undergoing elective orthopedic surgery

Participating in a PAC was associated with more positive perceptions of anesthesiologists.

Proximal RUMM block in dogs: preliminary results of cadaveric and clinical studies

The US-guided proximal RUMM block performed at the axillary level minimized fentanyl requirement during thoracic limb surgery.

Dexketoprofen administered every 8 hours during the first 24 hours postoperatively is noninferior to methadone in controlling pain after orthopaedic surgery in dogs.

Changes in D-dimer concentration after soft tissue and orthopedic surgery in dogs

Any increase in D-dimer concentration after elective neutering, elective orthopedic, and posttraumatic orthopedic surgical procedures should be regarded as clinically important.

Clinical comparison of the effects of isoflurane or propofol anaesthesia on mean arterial blood pressure and ventilation in dogs undergoing orthopaedic surgery receiving epidural anaesthesia.

In combination with epidural anaesthesia, propofol TIVA improved MAP and is a suitable alternative to isoflurane in orthopaedic surgery of the hind limb in healthy dogs.
