Local and regional anesthesia offer equine practitioners a safer alternative to general anesthesia for surgeries. While generally safe, potential risks include neurotoxicity and limb ataxia in horses, requiring careful administration and practice for consistent nerve blockade.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Anesthesiology
  • Equine Surgery

Background:

  • Local and regional anesthetic techniques are valuable for equine practitioners, providing alternatives to general anesthesia.
  • These methods reduce the risks and costs associated with general anesthesia in horses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the applications and risks of local and regional anesthetic techniques in equine practice.
  • To highlight the benefits of these techniques while acknowledging potential complications.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature and clinical practices regarding equine local and regional anesthesia.
  • Discussion of anesthetic agents, administration techniques, and potential adverse effects.

Main Results:

  • Local and regional anesthesia can facilitate equine surgeries with reduced risks compared to general anesthesia.

  • Potential adverse effects include rare neurotoxicity with large anesthetic volumes and limb ataxia, which can lead to self-trauma.

    • Conclusions:

    • Persistence and practice are crucial for achieving consistent and effective nerve blockade in horses.
    • Careful consideration of anesthetic volume and administration is necessary to mitigate risks like ataxia.
