Alpha‐2‐adrenoreceptor agonists as analgesic drugs in equine medicine

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Managing pain in horses is challenging despite the availability of nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs, local anaesthetics, opioids and α2‐adrenoreceptor agonists. While α2‐agonists are widely used for sedation and restraint, their analgesic properties remain underutilised.

Ultrasonographic diagnosis of caudoproximal humeral stress fracture in thoroughbred racehorses

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Humeral stress fractures in racehorses can progress to catastrophic fracture if unrecognised. Scintigraphy is the gold standard diagnostic technique but is limited by accessibility and cost. It was hypothesised that ultrasonography could be used to visualise caudoproximal humeral stress fractures. Objectives To determine the utility

Abstract Background Poor pain management in horses is a welfare concern. The ‘diagnosis’ of pain cannot be separated from the broader set of interactions through which it emerges. The interactions that take place during veterinary consultations shape the ways in which, or whether, pain management is discussed.

Flow‐controlled expiration improves gas exchange in anaesthetised horses undergoing orthopaedic surgery

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Flow‐controlled expiration (FLEX) has been shown to significantly enhance oxygenation in horses under laboratory conditions. Objective This study aims to corroborate these findings by evaluating the effects of FLEX on gas exchange in a randomised clinical trial involving a large population of clinical horses undergoing orthopaedic ...
