Abstract:

In Veterinary Anesthesiology, surveys in order to identify the perceptions and practices of professionals who perform anesthesia are infrequent. In Brazil, initiatives with this objective have not yet been published. The objective of the study was to identify the perianesthetic and analgesic management of small animal veterinarians in Brazil through the application of a questionnaire with 34 questions, divided into demographic information and perianesthetic and analgesic management. To assess the impact of certain variables on the responses to the questionnaire, three biases were chosen: gender (male and female), degree of specialization in Anesthesiology (1: residency and specializations; 2: academic postgraduate, with master's, doctorate and postdoctoral studies; 3: another, with courses with a workload of up to 200 hours) and Brazil’s region (North, Northeast, Midwest, South and Southeast). Descriptive statistics were used for each question and after the Qi-square test or Fischer's test (p<0.05) were used to verify the association between the qualitative variables. The completion rate of 80% (418 professionals completed all questions). There were more respondents from the Southeast region. Most respondents had postgraduate degree, and prefer to update themselves in short-term courses or conferences. Regarding the pre-anesthetic period, the physical evaluation is usually performed on the same day of the procedure. Food fasting in dogs and cats are longer and the rate of fluid therapy in cats is lower than recommended. The most used drugs are acepromazine (88.4%) and methadone (85.8%) (pre-anesthetic medication), propofol (96.1%) for induction, and isoflurane (92.8%) for maintenance (p. ≤0.05). The universal vaporizer is the most used in Brazil (79.9%). Transanesthetic monitoring is performed mainly with clinical parameters (p≤0.05). In the post-anesthetic period, most use scales to assess pain (60%), and the most used drugs in this period are meloxicam and dipyrone, followed by tramadol. More than 90% of animals are discharged from the hospital on the same day of the procedure. The region of Brazil and the degree of specialization influenced several anesthetic practices. There is a lack of updating regarding the perianesthetic management of the patient. Pain scales are used more frequently than in other countries. This work contributes to the direction of professional and educational actions by identifying attitudes in anesthetic management in small animals in Brazil.
