| Summary: | 5) for all groups at all observation times. Rough recoveries ablation with lateral bulla osteotomy. The hypothesis was ablation. and postoperative change in serum cortisol levels were not assessed preoperatively, at extubation, 2 hours post- blinded to the analgesic protocol used. Pain scores were not block (I 1), and systemic opioids with preoperative local breeds represented. Ten dogs had previous ear surgery. Dogs bupivacaine nerve blocks (10). Twenty-one dogs had bilateral ear ablation and 10 had unilateral ablation. Pain was effect on the score. Mean scores were less than 3 (scale 1- extubation and 1 day postoperatively by a single observer for postoperative pain relief in dogs having total ear canal group I, 2 in group 11, and 4 in group III. Each of the group III dogs remained moderately to heavily sedated 2 hours group III. Ninety-four percent of dogs were moderately to heavily sedated at the time of extubation. Sixty percent of I and III compared to preoperative levels. Sixteen percent increase in serum glucose was significantly higher in groups nerve blocks would provide superior postoperative analgesia. of dogs required additional postoperative analgesia or opioids alone (10), systemic opioids with bupivacaine splash post-extubation. Temperature, pulse rate, respiratory rate, postoperative pain control in dogs undergoing total ear canal significantly different between groups. Postoperative significantly different within or between groups, nor did that systemic opioids in conjunction with preoperative local the study. Nineteen dogs were cocker spaniels, with 10 other Thirty-one dogs with chronic otitis externa were included in This prospective study compared three methods of three analgesic protocols were concluded to be satisfactory tranquilization, as determined by the anesthetist; 1 dog in unilateral versus bilateral ablation have a significant were noted in 30% of group I dogs, 0% of group II, and 20% of were randomly assigned to three analgesic protocols: systemic |
