Epidural and Spinal Anesthesia and Analgesia in the Equine
Cláudio C. Natalini, DVM, MS, PhD, and Bernd Driessen, DVM, PhD, Dipl. ACVA & ECVPT
Pages: 9
Publisher: Clinical Techniques in Equine Practice
Language: English
Edition: 6:145-153, 2007
Description
In human and animal anesthesia, epidural and spinal administration of drugs is used to provide surgical anesthesia and/or postoperative analgesia. Several local anesthetic drugs are used to produce epidural anesthesia, such as lidocaine, bupivacaine, ropivacaine, and mepivacaine. Epidural analgesia is obtained with opioid agonists, alpha2-adrenergic agonists, and ketamine. In horses, caudal epidural anesthesia is used to desensitize the anus, rectum, perineum, vulva, vagina, urethra, and bladder.
