Effects of general anaesthesia in dorsal recumbency with and without vatinoxan on bronchoalveolar lavage cytology of healthy horses

Co-Occurrence of Multidrug Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Pathogenic Clones of Human Relevance in an Equine Pneumonia Case

“…Post-operative bacterial pneumonia can be a serious complication in horses ( 21 , 22 ), with general anesthesia and compression of the lungs being two important risk factors ( 19 , 30 ). The etiology of equine pleuripneumonia is mostly linked with the translocation of common oropharyngeal flora (e.g., Streptococcus ) from the upper airways and mouth into the lower respiratory tract ( 19 ), but enteric Gram-negative species such as K. pneumoniae can also be causative agents, most often introduced from the immediate external environment ( 6 , 20 – 22 ).…”

Various Systemic Effects of MK-467, A Peripherally Acting α2-adrenoceptor Antagonist in Different Animal Species: An Overview

“…Effects of MK-467 on organ blood flow detected by contrastenhanced ultrasound (CEUS) have been evaluated in dogs treated with dexmedetomidine (Restitutti et al, 2013) and the research depicted that MK-467 effectively attenuates the effects of dexmedetomidine in organ blood flow as detected via contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). Rossi et al (2019) elucidated the effect of general anaesthesia in dorsal recumbency with and without vatinoxan on bronchoalveolar lavage cytology of healthy horses. They proposed that anaesthesia in dorsal recumbency did not consistently affect lung cytology with or without vatinoxan.…”
