ANESTESIA EM CÃES CARDIOPATAS: revisão de literatura

Abstract

The human-animal relationship in recent years has undergone notable changes related to the way the guardians interact with their pets, where greater care with nutrition, vaccination and regular visits to the veterinarian, provided a better quality and increased expectation of life of the same. Due to greater longevity, there is an increase in the incidence of diseases related to senility, including heart disease. Dogs with heart disease when undergoing an anesthetic procedure tend to have greater hemodynamic, vascular and cardio-respiratory complications, as depending on the degree of installed pathology and the drugs chosen, there may be a reduction in cardiac output, change in blood pressure and frequency cardiac arrest. This research aims to present the importance of pre-anesthetic evaluation and expose the relationship of anesthetics with some of the congenital and acquired heart diseases that most affect dogs.
