Did you know that a brachycephalic dog with BOAS has a 433% higher anaesthetic risk than a dog with a normal nose?
Let me rephrase that: that Frenchie youâre spaying later this week is more than four times more likely to die on her surgery day than any of your other patients. đł
Do we have your attention?!
Thanks mainly to the rising popularity of the French Bulldog, youâre probably anaesthetising these kinds of patients all the time.
So how do we reduce that risk? How do improve patient safety while decreeing your stress levels?!
At the Brachycephalic Care Unit, surgeon Dr Abbie Tipler and her team have polished brachycephalic anaesthesia down to a fine art, and in this episode, she shares all the gold.
From the days leading up to anaesthesia to selecting the safest mix of premed and anaesthesia agents, all the way to a calm, well-oxygenated recovery, this episode is the ultimate masterclass in brachycephalic anaesthesia.
Hit us up for the full show notes for this episode, as well as Dr Abbieâs brachycephalic pre-surgery history template, here.Â
