Unexpected intraoperative hypoxaemia in a healthy dog undergoing TPLO
Abstract A period of hypoxaemia was unexpectedly detected in an otherwise healthy 10‐year‐old dog undergoing tibial plateau levelling osteotomy surgery. Hypoxaemia developed approximately 10 minutes after the start of surgery. Simultaneously, the plane of anaesthesia was persistently light. Lung compliance was subjectively poor.

Modified laryngoscore for difficult laryngoscopy
The research primarily focuses on establishing the Modified Laryngoscore as an innovative predictor for difficult laryngeal exposure. This score incorporates various patient parameters like BMI, gender, neck circumference, Mallampati score, smoking status, neck mobility, mouth opening, dental status, and thyromental distance.
