Effectiveness evaluation of selected general anaesthesia protocols in different dogs breeds

Study or effectiveness evaluation of selected general anaesthesia protocols in different dogs breeds was accomplished in X small animal‘s veterinary clinics in Lithuania since 2014 to 2015 years. Different four breed‘s groups (brachycephalic, hounds, dobermans and toy breeds) were used and two different general anaesthesia protocols were examined (A ‒ medetomidine, ketamine, sevoflurane; B – medetomidine, propofol, sevoflurane). Integrated standard patient monitoring was applied. Data calculation performed using Microsoft Excel 2010. Comparing A and B general anaesthesia protocols between toy and brachycephalic breeds, we found that A protocol has bigger heart and respiratory rate reduction than B protocol. It was found that using A protocol heart rate reduction was more expressed in hounds. Therefore B protocol drugs heart rate reduction influenced more in toy breeds. Respiratory rate reduction was the largest in toy breeds, after both A and B protocols application.
