A 1-year-old, 9.8-kg (21.6-lb), female, spayed Pembroke Welsh corgi dog was presented for evaluation of previously diagnosed patent ductus arteriosus and severe pulmonary hypertension. In the veterinary literature, there is relatively little information related to the anaesthetic management of patients with patent ductus arteriosus and severe pulmonary hypertension (or in those with Eisenmenger pathophysiology). In this case report, we consider haemodynamic concerns related to anaesthesia in this clinical setting, while describing the successful management of this case and related complications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
