Protocolo anestésico em cão submetido à enucleação para correção de prolapso do globo ocular – relato de caso

Abstract

Orbital injuries are common in dogs, resulting from mechanical trauma or orbital diseases that may or may not be considered emergencies, characterized as an ocular protrusion that in extreme cases will require a surgical procedure for the extraction of the eyeball through enucleation, for this procedure, it is necessary to adopt specific and individual anesthetic protocols for each patient, since each situation may have different characteristics and the adoption of anesthetic drugs may lead to cardiovascular and respiratory changes when the appropriate procedures and medications are not adopted, in this case. In this context, the study aimed to evaluate the anesthetic protocol in a dog submitted to a surgical procedure of enucleation to correct an eyeball prolapse, using pre-anesthetic medication. Dosages of propofol 3 mg/kg IV, midazolam 0.4 mg/kg IV and morphine 0.5 mg/kg IV did not cause adverse effects such as changes in heart and respiratory rates and/or vomiting. The surgical and anesthetic procedure adopted for that patient had a positive effect, it is inferred that this factor is associated with rapid intervention, therapeutic choice and administration dosages, contributed to the final result of the case.
