Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Anesthesia
  • Equine Medicine
  • Reproductive Physiology

Background:

  • Anesthetizing heavily pregnant mares presents unique physiological challenges.
  • Maintaining homeostasis for both mare and fetus is critical during surgical procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline optimal anesthetic strategies for heavily pregnant mares.
  • To ensure the safety and well-being of both the dam and the fetus.

Main Methods:

  • Employing short-acting anesthetic agents.
  • Utilizing inhalational anesthesia and mechanical ventilation.
  • Implementing blood pressure support and oxygen therapy during recovery.

Main Results:

  • Careful anesthetic management ensures maternal and fetal homeostasis.
  • Oxygen provision during the recovery phase is vital for fetal survival.

Conclusions:

  • A combination of specific anesthetic techniques and supportive care is essential for successful outcomes in pregnant mares.
  • Maintaining physiological stability throughout the anesthetic and recovery periods is paramount for fetal viability.
