Bloqueio de plexo braquial em um bugio-ruivo (Alouatta guariba): relato de caso [Brachial plexus

Origin and antimeric distribution of brachial plexus nerves inAlouatta guariba clamitansCabrera, 1940 (Primates: Atelidae)

“…The anatomical similarity in the origin and distribution of the brachial plexus between A. g. clamitans and primates (humans and non-humans) suggests that the anaesthetic blocking techniques developed for humans may succeed when applied to howler monkeys. This was confirmed by Santos et al (2017) who used the anatomical landmarks recommended for humans (Muñoz et al 2010) in one male specimen of A. g. clamitans, and obtained analgesia and muscular relaxation in the distal region to the gleno-humeral joint. Another report describes the use of the subscapular technique with palpation of the axillary pulse to create an anaesthetic block of the brachial plexus in an A. g. clamitans specimen (Ido 2016).…”

“…In this case, the same landmarks proposed in the anaesthetic technique developed for domestic carnivores were adopted (Klaumann et al 2013). Certainly, there is a gap in the anatomical basis of anaesthetic techniques not only for A. g. clamitans but also for wildlife species in general (Ido 2016;Santos et al 2017).…”

Assessment of the technique of the anesthetic block of the Brachial Plexus by Supraclavicular approach in Sapajus libidinosus (SPIX, 1823)

“…There are still only a few studies on brachial plexus block in non‐human primates, namely a research carried out on a howler monkey ( Alouatta guariba ), 27 even though there are several base studies, such as plexus description and origin in other primate non‐human species, 16,28,29 and an anatomic study of black striped capuchin, 15 that show the possibility of carrying out the technique.…”

“…Regarding the brachial plexus block approach used, it was ideal to clearly delimit the triangle formed by the upper edge of the trapezius muscle, the clavicle, and the base of the neck. Similar to that described for a howler monkey ( Alouatta guariba ), the needle was inserted 1 cm above the clavicle, in its lateral third, but close to the limb, directing the needle toward the plexus and clearing observing the carotid artery pulse so that it was not affected 27 …”

“…26 There are still only a few studies on brachial plexus block in non-human primates, namely a research carried out on a howler TA B L E 1 Mean/median and standard deviation/interquartile range of the evaluated parameters of Sapajus libidinosus, sedated with tiletamine-zolazepam and anesthetized with propofol, before and after application of 2% lidocaine without vasoconstrictor, at a dose of 5mg/kg, in the brachial plexus by way supraclavicular. n monkey (Alouatta guariba), 27 even though there are several base studies, such as plexus description and origin in other primate non-human species, 16,28,29 and an anatomic study of black striped capuchin, 15 that show the possibility of carrying out the technique.…”
