ABSTRACT

Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) for short-term procedures in horses should be considered as a unique event, which must be assessed and monitored individually. Knowledge and analysis of available information concerning the pharmacological features of various anesthetic drug combinations may enable clinicians to handle each case from a wider and more authoritative perspective. The use of ECG and a blood-gas analyzer for monitoring field anesthesia is uncommon. Hence, the physiological changes a patient undergoes must be evaluated clinically, having as a background the accumulated knowledge gathered from research in the field. It is in such context that this review attempts to present an easy access guide to the reported clinical features and physiological changes that occur in a horse when anesthetized with the must common drug combinations. Emphasis is made on advantages and disadvantages of each combination as well as in the patterns and modifications of the cardiovascular and respiratory functions. Ultimately, the equine practitioner must select an anesthetic technique based on available knowledge about the effects of the drugs, and the clinical needs of the individual horse. The aim in choosing an anesthetic technique is to achieve the safest and most balanced TIVA in horses.
