Several anaesthetic protocols are reported in the literature for small mammals; it is however fundamental that drugs used and perioperative management are based on each patient individually, considering several factors such as temperament, health status and the procedure to be performed. Alpha-2 agonists, benzodiazepines and opioids are the drugs most commonly used for sedation and premedication in small mammals. General anaesthesia can be induced with injectable agents, such as propofol and alfaxalone, but inhalant anaesthetics delivered by mask or in an induction chamber are still quite commonly used, particularly in smaller patients. Volatile agents are generally preferred for maintenance of anaesthesia, as easy control of the depth of anaesthesia is achievable. Endotracheal intubation is not always possible in these species, but practice and the use of an endoscope can facilitate the procedure. Analgesia should be provided for surgical procedures, and local anaesthetic techniques are warranted whenever possible.

Abstract Background The assessment of mitral regurgitation (MR) is complex and complicated by the dynamic nature of this valvular abnormality. Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is a well-established tool that is used to assess the mitral regurgitation (MR) before and after mitral valve reconstruction. Objectives This study conducted in the National Heart Institute in Cairo aimed at assessing the effect of depth of anaesthesia guided by bispectral index on the severity of mitral insufficiency as measured by transesophageal echocardiography. Patients and Methods This study was conducted in the National Heart Institute in Cairo. The study was conducted for a period of about six months after the approval from Ethical committee. Informed oral consent for every patient was obtained. Prospective observational cross-sectional study with a random sample of 20 patients at National Heart Institute. A sample size of at least 15 data pairs achieves 80% power to reject the null hypothesis of zero effect size when the population effect size is 0.80 and the significance level (alpha) is 0.05 using a two-sided paired ttest. Adult patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery in National Heart Institute. Results The MR severity decreased at a deeper anaesthesia at low BIS than at a shallower anaesthesia at high BIS in patients with organic MR. Eight patients out of twenty patients (40% with organic MR) showed a + 1 grade of improvement in MR grade, by semi-quantitively measuring maximal JA and VC width. Improvement in mitral regurge severity thought to be secondary to unloading effect of general anaesthesia on left ventricle causing a decrease in afterload, preload, and left ventricular dimensions. This study demonstrated that, a comparison between deep anaesthesia and shallow anaesthesia using BIS showed there is a significant reduction in multiple parameters of MR severity assessment secondary to unloading effect of general anaesthesia on left ventricle caused by a decrease in both afterload and preload. Conclusion This reduction in MR severity appeared to be significant enough to modify intraoperative decisions regarding valve surgery by underestimation of valve severity. Thus, strong consideration should be given to thorough preoperative assessment of MR severity, rather than relying on intraoperative findings.

Anaesthetic trials were conducted with propofol (P), xylazine-propofol (XP), xylazine-ketamine (XK), xylazine-thiopentone (XT) in 16 healthy indigenous pigs. Respiration rate decreased significantly (P < 0.01) five minutes after induction, and during maximum depth of anaesthesia, and had not returned to control value after recovery from anaesthesia with all anaesthetic combinations. Heart rate with P increased significantly (P<0.01) five minutes after induction, whereas it decreased significantly (P < 0.01) with XP, XK and XT during anaesthesia and remained below the normal range after recovery from anaesthesia except after XP. In all anaesthetic sessions, rectal temperature decreased significantly (P < 0.01) in all stages of anaesthesia: after recovery the rectal temperature almost returned to control value in P and XP. Slight to moderate salivation was observed in all pigs with P and XP. It is suggested that P and XP combination seems to be suitable for general anaesthesia in pigs, but XP is more suitable.

BACKGROUND: Postoperative shivering is one of the most common adverse effects after general anaesthesia. AIM: This study aimed to evaluate the association between the Bispectral index (BIS) monitoring value and postoperative shivering in patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Shahid Beheshti Hospital in Sabzevar city, from August 2017 to September 2018. Patients who underwent orthopaedic surgery, using general anaesthesia, were enrolled. Recording of the depth of anaesthesia using BIS monitoring was started exactly 5 minutes after intubating the patient and continued until the discharge from post-anesthesia care unit (PACU). The incidence of postoperative shivering was evaluated using a scale proposed by Crossley and Mahajan. RESULTS: A total number of 80 patients were evaluated. 32.5% of patients experience postoperative shivering grade 2, with mean BIS score 41.85. The univariate and multivariate linear regression analysis indicated a statistically significant relationship between shivering score and patients' heart rate, blood pressure, BIS score, temperature, age, height, gender and blood cell distribution width (RDW) (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The results of this study indicate a significant positive association between BIS value and postoperative shivering in patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery, so that, patients with higher BIS score experienced significantly more postoperative shivering. It seems that BIS-guided anaesthesia can reduce the risk and incidence of postoperative shivering in patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery.
