13 lis 2023 · Ensuring patient safety during small animal anaesthesia is crucial. This study aimed to assess anaesthetic-related deaths in dogs globally, identify risks and protective factors and inform clinical practice.
A Distress Index value was calculated for the threshold conditions. The optimum detection threshold (highest Youden’s index) was found at T s ≤ 30.5°C at 24 h (90% specific, 84% sensitive). This threshold condition reduced animal suffering by 41% while providing an accurate survival rate estimate.
Breed predispositions, survival, and prognostic factors have not been evaluated in dogs with nonregenerative immune‐mediated anemia (nrIMA). To describe clinicopathologic variables, evaluate their associations with survival, and determine breed ...
