Perioperative care of the brachycephalic patient and surgical management of brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome

The Veterinary Nurse, 2018
Over recent years many brachycephalic dog breeds have become more popular, i.e. French bulldogs, Pugs, Chihuahuas and British bulldogs. Due to the anatomical differences in these breeds compared with other normocephalic breeds presented in practice, more cases are requiring treatment for airway management.

Brachycephalic airway obstructive syndrome.

Problems in veterinary medicine, 1992
This is a complex condition, recognized primarily in brachycephalic breeds, that results in varying degrees of upper airway obstruction. The signs consist of respiratory distress, stridor, reduced exercise tolerance, and in more severe cases, cyanosis and collapse. The inherent anatomy of the brachycephalic skull contributes to the development of these
