ObjectiveTo describe the incidence of postanesthetic signs of colic (PASC) in horses and determine if perianesthetic administration of hydromorphone was associated with an increased risk of PASC.Study designRetrospective, cohort study.AnimalsA total of 409 horses.MethodsAnesthesia and clinical records of horses admitted for various procedures from July 2018 to September 2019 were reviewed. Signs of colic and interventions were recorded up to 48 hours after anesthesia. A binomial logistic regression model was used to evaluate the association between the type of surgery, administration of hydromorphone, the duration of anesthesia and the incidence of PASC.ResultsOverall, 25 (6.1%) horses developed PASC within 48 hours of general anesthesia. Of 60 horses that underwent colic surgery, 16 (26.7%) developed PASC. Of 349 horses that underwent noncolic procedures, nine (2.6%) developed PASC. Thus, the incidence of PASC was higher in horses that underwent colic surgery than in horses that underwent noncolic procedures [odds ratio (OR) = 13.74 (5.73–32.95)]. No effect of hydromorphone on the incidence of PASC was identified [OR = 1.61 (0.71–3.62)]. Longer procedures (>2 hours) were identified as an independent risk factor for PASC [OR = 4.13 (1.52–11.22)].ConclusionsNo association between hydromorphone and an increase in the incidence of PASC was identified. Anesthesia for colic surgery and duration of anesthesia were associated with an increased risk of PASC.Clinical relevanceHydromorphone did not increase the incidence of PASC in this population. 相似文献

BackgroundProspective clinical study of blood lactate concentration in horses undergoing colic surgery is needed to determine utility in outcome prediction.ObjectivesTo evaluate venous lactate measurements in horses following colic surgery, including immediately after anesthetic recovery and daily throughout hospitalization, as well as to determine if lactate concentrations were significantly higher in horses that developed postoperative complications or did not survive to hospital discharge.MethodsHorses > 1 year of age undergoing surgery for colic and recovered from general anesthesia were sampled. A portable lactate meter was used to measure venous samples collected immediately following anesthetic recovery and daily throughout hospitalization. Complications arising during hospitalization and survival to hospital discharge were recorded.ResultsFifty one horses were enrolled, ranging in age from 2 to 29 years. Lactate concentration immediately following anesthetic recovery was higher in horses that developed complications during hospitalization (p = 0.046). The odds of developing complications postoperatively were doubled for horses with a venous lactate concentration > 5 mmol/L. Lactate measurements in non-survivors were significantly higher compared to survivors by 96 h postoperatively (p < 0.006).ConclusionsHigher venous lactate concentrations in the postoperative colic period were associated with an increased risk of complications and death. Results suggest horses with higher venous lactate measurements in recovery are more likely to have postoperative complications, with the odds of developing complications doubled for horses with a venous lactate > 5 mmol/L. Evaluation of venous lactate could provide information on prognosis in the postoperative period for horses with surgical colic. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Hypertonic saline and hydroxyethyl starches have been proposed as alternatives to isotonic crystalloids for reversal of hypovolemia in horses with colic. However, no direct comparison of these fluids has been performed in a clinical setting. HYPOTHESIS: Preoperative administration of hypertonic saline or pentastarch would produce similar effects on intra operative hemodynamics in horses with colic. ANIMALS: Thirty horses requiring colic surgery were enrolled in this prospective, randomized, open-label clinical trial. Inclusion criteria were owner consent, and at least 2 of 3 clinicopathologic abnormalities: packed cell volume >45%, plasma total solid concentration >8.0 g/dL, and blood lactate concentration >2.5 mM. METHODS: Study horses were randomly assigned to receive 4 mL/kg hypertonic saline or pentastarch before induction of anesthesia. Hemodynamic measurements were recorded every 30 minutes during anesthesia. Cardiac output (CO) was measured by the lithium dilution method. CO and stroke volume (SV) were indexed by body weight. Data were analysed using repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA). Post hoc comparisons were performed using the Bonferroni test. RESULTS: Cardiac index (CI) was higher in the pentastarch group compared with the hypertonic saline group from 30 to 150 minutes after induction (P = .04). SV index was higher in the pentastarch group at 30 (P = .025) and 60 minutes (P = .04). Mean arterial pressure of horses in both groups was lower at 90 minutes compared with 30 and 60 minutes. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: Preoperative administration of pentastarch results in better CI than hypertonic saline, for 150 minutes after anesthetic induction. The effect of this improved global blood flow on regional perfusion or clinical outcome remains to be elucidated. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Intestinal hypoperfusion can lead to increased lactate concentrations in plasma and peritoneal fluid of horses with colic. HYPOTHESIS: The purposes of this study were to (1) evaluate the reliability of the Accusport analyzer to assess peritoneal fluid lactate (PFL) concentrations in healthy horses and those with colic, (2) identify clinical features associated with abnormal blood plasma lactate (BPL) and PFL concentrations, and (3) evaluate the prognostic value of BPL and PFL. ANIMALS: BPL and PFL were determined in 20 healthy horses and in 106 horses with colic. RESULTS: The Accusport was reliable for determining BPL concentrations < 13 mM and PFL concentrations < 20 mM. Multivariate analysis indicated that PCV and the need for intestinal resection were independently associated with the BPL; pulse, PCV, venous pO2, the presence of necrotic intestine, an increased amount of peritoneal fluid, and fluid total protein content were independently associated with PFL. With a 1 mM increase in BPL or PFL, the respective odds ratios for required abdominal surgery increase to 1.23 (BPL) and 1.58 (PFL), odds ratios for a required intestinal resection increase to 1.20 (BPL) and 1.41 (PFL), and odds ratios for developing ileus increase by 1.33 (BPL) and 1.36 (PFL). PFL concentrations of 1, 6, 12, and 16 mM correspond to a probability of death of 11, 29, 63, and 82%, respectively, in horses without strangulating obstruction and of 25, 52, 82, and 92%, respectively, in horses with strangulating obstruction. CONCLUSION: PFL is more useful and sensitive than BPL for prognostic purposes in horses with colic. 相似文献

Objective – To determine: (1) changes in blood ammonia, bile acid (BA), bilirubin, triglyceride, and glucose concentrations and liver enzyme activities in perioperative colic patients and (2) the association between these laboratory findings and short‐term survival. Design – Prospective observational clinical study. Animals – Thirty‐two adult horses undergoing exploratory celiotomy for colic. Interventions – None. Measurements and Main Results – Blood samples were collected preoperatively and at 24–36 and 72–84 hours postoperatively and analyzed for blood ammonia, BA, bilirubin, triglyceride, and glucose concentrations and sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH) and gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) activities. Short‐term survival was defined as survival to hospital discharge. Data were analyzed using a Fisher's exact test and analysis of variance. Mildly increased blood ammonia concentrations were present in 2 horses at admission. Postoperative blood ammonia concentrations were within reference intervals in all horses. There were increases in liver enzyme activities as well as in BA, triglyceride, and total bilirubin concentrations. Horses with markedly increased admission BA concentrations and SDH activities did not survive. BA concentrations and SDH activities decreased postoperatively. There was no association between GGT activity and survival; GGT activity remained increased postoperatively. Blood triglyceride concentration was increased in almost all horses postoperatively; horses that did not survive had higher triglyceride concentrations at 24–36 hours postoperatively than horses that survived. Conclusion – Alterations in metabolism and hepatobiliary function are common in colic patients. The results of this study provide further prognostic indices for colic patients and highlight areas for improvement in patient management. 相似文献

Objective: To characterize pulmonary gas exchange and arterial lactate in horses with gastrointestinal disease undergoing anesthesia, compared with elective surgical horses, and to correlate these variables with postoperative complications and mortality. Study Design: Prospective clinical study. Animals: Horses undergoing emergency laparotomy for acute intestinal disease (n=50) and healthy horses undergoing elective surgery in dorsal recumbency (n=20). Methods: Arterial blood gas analysis was performed at predetermined intervals on horses undergoing a standardized anesthetic protocol. Alveolar–arterial oxygen gradient was calculated. Predictive factors for postoperative complications and death in colic horses were determined. Results: Arterial oxygen tension (PaO2) varied widely among horses in both groups. PaO2 significantly increased in the colic group after exteriorization of the ascending colon. PaO2 and alveolar–arterial oxygen gradient were not significantly different between groups, and neither were correlated with horse outcome. Arterial lactate in recovery ≥5 mmol/L was associated with a 2.25 times greater relative risk of complications and lactate ≥7 mmol/L was associated with a 10.5 times higher relative risk of death. Conclusion: Colic horses in this population were not more likely to be hypoxemic than elective horses, nor was gas exchange impaired to a greater degree in colic horses relative to controls. Arterial lactate sampled immediately after anesthetic recovery was predictive for postoperative complications and death. 相似文献

This study compared serotonin concentrations in platelet poor plasma (PPP) from healthy horses and horses with surgical small intestinal (SI) colic, and evaluated their association with postoperative ileus, strangulation and non-survival. Plasma samples (with EDTA) from 33 horses with surgical SI colic were collected at several pre- and post-operative time points. Serotonin concentrations were determined using liquid-chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Results were compared with those for 24 healthy control animals. The serotonin concentrations in PPP were significantly lower (P < 0.01) in pre- and post-operative samples from surgical SI colic horses compared to controls. However, no association with postoperative ileus or non-survival could be demonstrated at any time point. In this clinical study, plasma serotonin was not a suitable prognostic factor in horses with SI surgical colic. 相似文献

ObjectiveTo report anesthetic-related complications and determine risks associated with anesthesia in draft horses.Study designRetrospective study.AnimalsA total of 401 anesthetic records for draft horse breeds that underwent general anesthesia from January 2010 through December 2020 were reviewed; horses euthanized during general anesthesia were excluded.MethodsDemographics, perioperative drugs used, procedure type and duration, time to extubation, number of attempts to stand, use of sling in recovery and perioperative morbidity and mortality were investigated. Morbidity and mortality statistical evaluation included univariable logistic regression analysis and ordinal regression analysis.ResultsAmerican Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) status I–II, ASA III–V and total mortality rate for all cases was 0.69% (2/288), 6.19% (7/113) and 2.24% (9/401), respectively, with Belgian horses being overrepresented (6/9). Cardiac arrest occurred in six out of nine horses that died without euthanasia, and five out of six of these horses underwent colic surgery. Factors associated with increased mortality risk included ASA status of III–V, increased body weight, emergency status and horses presenting for colic. Hypotension, hypercarbia and hypoxemia occurred in 56% (224/401), 46% (186/401) and 14% (58/401) of horses, respectively. During recovery from anesthesia, lighter horses and horses undergoing shorter anesthetic procedures were more likely to be successful on the first or second attempt to stand and were less likely to require a sling in recovery.Conclusions and clinical relevanceDraft horses undergoing general anesthesia had a higher mortality rate than previously reported for all types and breeds of horses. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine prevalence and risk factors for development of ileus of the large intestine after surgery in horses, identified by reduced postoperative fecal output (RPFO). DESIGN: Retrospective study. ANIMALS: 37 horses that developed RPFO after undergoing general anesthesia for reasons unrelated to the gastrointestinal tract. PROCEDURE: Fecal output was obtained from medical records as number of defecations per 24-hour period after surgery; RPFO was defined as < or = 3 defecations per 24-hour period after surgery. The reference population included 48 horses that defecated > or = 4 times during the same period. Demographic, clinical, and surgical variables were evaluated for their association with development of RPFO by use of logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: Ten (12%) horses, all of which had RPFO, developed signs of colic after surgery. Horses > or = 5 years old that underwent orthopedic procedures of > 60 minutes' duration and that did not receive phenylbutazone after surgery were at significant risk for developing RPFO. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Results suggest that after surgery unrelated to the gastrointestinal tract in horses, there is an intermediate clinical phase characterized by reduced fecal output preceding overt signs of colic. Recognition of RPFO may reduce morbidity and mortality of such horses. 相似文献

Activation of coagulation can be frequently found in horses with colic. However, it has also been demonstrated as a sequela of surgical trauma alone in humans. The purpose of the present study was to determine changes in coagulation and fibrinolysis in horses that underwent colic surgery and to evaluate whether these changes were secondary to the colic or the surgery and wound healing. Thirty horses that underwent colic surgery with uncomplicated recovery were included. Ten horses with a Forssell's procedure served as control group with a standardized surgical trauma. Besides daily physical examinations during the observation period of 10 days, activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), prothrombin time and thrombin time as well as fibrin monomer (FM), D-Dimer (DD) and antithrombin (AT) III were determined. Compared with the control group the aPTT was the only standard coagulation test that was significantly prolonged before and after the event of colic surgery. After surgery, hyperfibrinogenaemia occurred in all groups. In colic groups FM and DD concentrations were within reference range at admission,and were significantly greater than in control horses after surgery. AT III activity decreased after colic surgery, but did not change in the control group. It was concluded that an activated coagulation state after colic surgery has to be expected, resulting not only from the colic disease, but also from the event of surgery. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To assess the changes in colloid osmotic pressure (COP) in horses undergoing surgery for colic. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective clinical evaluation. ANIMALS: Twenty-nine adult horses presented for emergency laparotomy. METHODS: Horses were premedicated with intravenous (IV) xylazine and anesthesia was induced with ketamine, diazepam and guaifenesin and was maintained with isoflurane as required. Lactated Ringer's solution (LRS) was given to all horses during anesthesia. Blood was collected in heparin before, and every 30 minutes during, anesthesia to measure COP, total protein concentration (TP), osmolality, packed cell volume, electrolytes, glucose and lactate. In addition, COP was estimated using different formulas previously described for horses. RESULTS: Before anesthesia, COP and TP were 18.7 +/- 2.2 mmHg (2.49 +/- 0.29 kPa) and 6.3 +/- 0.7 g dL(-1), respectively. The horses received a mean +/- SD of 19.5 +/- 3.9 mL kg(-1) hour(-1) (range 15-25 mL kg(-1)hour(-1)) of LRS during anesthesia. The COP and TP decreased linearly (R(2) = 0.99, p < 0.01) during anesthesia and reached the lowest point at the end of anesthesia with a COP of 11.6 +/- 1.6 mmHg (1.55 +/- 0.21 kPa) and TP of 4.4 +/- 0.4 g dL(-1). The Pearson correlation coefficient for COP versus TP was r(2) = 0.78. Calculation of COP from TP concentrations showed that two formulas could predict COP to within 1 mmHg (0.13 kPa) (Thomas & Brown 1992; Boscan et al. 2007). CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Colloid osmotic pressure, like TP, decreased greatly over the course of crystalloid fluid infusion during anesthesia for laparotomy in horses with colic. This change may predispose the animal to tissue edema with subsequent morbidity. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effect of anesthesia alone with anesthesia and abdominal surgery on plasma thromboxane B(2) concentrations in horses. STUDY DESIGN: Non-randomized experimental study. ANIMALS: Six male mixed-bred horses (5-12 years, 350 +/- 18 kg). METHODS: All horses were anesthetized for 2.5 hours using halothane, and a month later abdominal surgery was performed using the same anesthetic technique with a similar duration. The schedule of anesthesia included pre-medication with diazepam (0.1 mg kg(-1) IM), followed by xylazine (2.2 mg kg(-1) IV), and 10 minutes later anesthesia was induced with ketamine hydrochloride (2.2 mg kg(-1) IV). After orotracheal intubation, anesthesia was maintained with halothane. Blood samples for the determination of thromboxane B(2) (TXB(2)) were obtained before, at induction, at 60 minutes after halothane was first inspired, and at recovery from anesthesia as well as at the corresponding stages of the experimental abdominal surgery (before induction, prior to laparotomy, enterectomy, enteroanastomosis, abdominal wall closure). RESULTS: Baseline value for the anesthesia group was 76 +/- 12 pg mL(-1) and increased (p < 0.001) after 1 hour of anesthesia to 265 +/- 40 pg mL(-1). With surgery, the corresponding value was 285 +/- 21 pg mL(-1) (hour 1, p < 0.001) and 210 +/- 28 pg mL(-1) (hour 2, p < 0.001), respectively. These were not different from anesthesia alone. CONCLUSION: The increased concentrations of thromboxane B(2) between 1 and 2.5 hours of halothane anesthesia and during the corresponding stages of the surgical intervention suggested that the anesthetic technique caused a significant increase in thromboxane B(2) and that surgery did not appear to contribute to this response. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate anesthetic effects of 4 drug combinations used for total intravenous anesthesia of horses undergoing surgical removal of an abdominal testis. DESIGN: Clinical trial. ANIMALS: 32 healthy cryptorchid horses. PROCEDURE: Horses were sedated with xylazine and butorphanol and were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 groups: induction of anesthesia with ketamine and diazepam and maintenance with bolus administration of ketamine and xylazine (KD/KX); induction and maintenance of anesthesia with bolus administration of tiletamine-zolazepam, ketamine, and detomidine (TKD); induction and maintenance of anesthesia with continuous infusion of xylazine, guaifenesin, and ketamine; and induction and maintenance of anesthesia with continuous infusion of guaifenesin and thiopental. Horses that moved 3 consecutive times in response to surgical stimulation or for which surgery time was > 60 minutes were administered an inhalant anesthetic, and data from these horses were excluded from analysis. RESULTS: Quality of induction was not significantly different among groups. Muscle relaxation and analgesia scores were lowest for horses given KD/KX, but significant differences among groups were not detected. Horses anesthetized with TKD had a significantly greater number of attempts to stand, compared with the other groups, and mean quality of recovery from anesthesia for horses in the TKD group was significantly worse than for the other groups. Anesthesia, surgery, and recovery times were not significantly different among groups. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Results suggest that all 4 drug combinations can be used to induce short-term anesthesia for abdominal cryptorchidectomy in horses. However, horses receiving TKD had a poorer recovery from anesthesia, often requiring assistance to stand. 相似文献

ObjectiveTo evaluate the hypothesis that epidural morphine (0.1 mg kg?1) decreases pain in horses after laparoscopic surgery without adversely affecting gastrointestinal (GI) motility.Study designRandomized clinical trial.AnimalsEighteen horses undergoing laparoscopic cryptorchidectomy under general anesthesia.MethodsHorses were randomly assigned to receive either epidural morphine (0.1 mg kg?1) or no epidural before the start of surgery. Pain behaviors were assessed during the first two post-operative days using a numerical rating scale. Barium-filled spheres were administered through a nasogastric tube before anesthesia. GI motility was assessed by recording manure production, by quantitating the spheres in the manure, and by abdominal auscultation of intestinal sounds. Heart rates and cortisol concentrations were also measured during the post-operative period.ResultsPain scores increased for 12 hours after surgery in the control group and were significantly higher than in the morphine group for the first 6 hours. Pain scores remained unaltered in the morphine group throughout the observation period. Heart rate and plasma cortisol concentrations did not differ between groups or with time. No signs of colic were observed in any horse.Conclusion and clinical relevanceEpidural morphine (0.1 mg kg?1) did not adversely affect GI motility in horses after laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia. 相似文献

Gastrointestinal disorders, especially strangulating intestinal obstructions, are still a major cause of illness and death in the horse. Circulating lipopolysaccharides may activate both neutrophils and monocytes. The activated neutrophils release myeloperoxidase (MPO), a specific enzyme with strong oxidative activity. The aim of this study was to evaluate MPO concentrations in the plasma and peritoneal fluid (PF) of horses with colic and to check the hypothesis that these concentrations would be higher in a case of strangulating obstruction than in cases of nonstrangulating disease. By using a specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for equine MPO, we determined the MPO concentrations in horses admitted to a clinic for colic. Horses with nonstrangulating or strangulating obstruction of the large intestine (NSLI or SLI), strangulating obstruction of the small intestine (SSI), or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) were compared with healthy horses. The horses with SLI, SSI, or IBD had significantly higher MPO levels in plasma and PF than did those in the other 2 groups. The mean plasma level was significantly higher in the horses with NSLI than in the healthy horses. High MPO values in PF indicated necrotic bowel. These results show that neutrophil activation occurs during nonstrangulating and strangulating intestinal obstruction in horses and that the plasma and PF MPO concentrations may be a marker of the severity of the disease. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate plasma epinephrine and norepinephrine concentrations and serum cortisol concentration in horses with colic and assess the relationship of these variables with clinical signs, routinely measured clinicopathologic variables, and outcome in affected horses. DESIGN: Prospective observational study. ANIMALS: 35 horses with colic. PROCEDURE: Blood samples were collected within 30 minutes of arrival at the veterinary hospital from horses referred because of colic. Plasma and serum samples were analyzed for cortisol, epinephrine, norepinephrine, lactate, and electrolyte concentrations and acid-base variables. Heart rate at admission and outcome (survival or nonsurvival) were recorded. Univariate logistic regression was used to calculate crude (unadjusted) odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS: Of the 35 horses with colic, 26 survived. Higher plasma epinephrine, plasma lactate, and serum cortisol concentrations were significantly associated with increased risk of nonsurvival, but plasma norepinephrine concentration was not associated with outcome. Plasma epinephrine concentration was significantly correlated with heart rate (r = 0.68), plasma lactate concentration (r = 0.87), blood pH (r = -0.83), anion gap (r = 0.74), and base excess (r = -0.81). CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The risk of death appears to be greater in colic-affected horses with high circulating concentrations of epinephrine and cortisol. The correlation of epinephrine with other biochemical markers of illness severity and with heart rate indicates that the degree of sympathetic activation in horses with colic can be inferred from routinely measured variables. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine risk factors associated with development of postoperative ileus in horses undergoing surgery for colic. DESIGN: Case-control study. ANIMALS: 69 horses that developed ileus after surgery for colic and 307 horses that did not develop postoperative ileus. PROCEDURE: Signalment, history, clinicopathologic data, treatment, lesions, and outcome were obtained from medical records. RESULTS: Variables associated with increased risk of postoperative ileus included age > 10 years, Arabian breed, PCV > or = 45%, high serum concentrations of protein and albumin, anesthesia > 2.5 hours' duration, surgery > 2 hours' duration, resection and anastomosis, and lesions in the small intestine. Enterotomy reduced the risk of postoperative ileus. After multivariate logistic regression, the final model included the variables Arabian breed, PCV > or = 45%, lesion type, duration of surgery (> 2 hours vs < or = 2 hours), and pelvic flexure enterotomy. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Results suggest that by evaluating certain factors, horses at increased risk of postoperative ileus may be recognized before the condition develops. Preventative treatment and early intervention may be instituted in these horses. Shortening surgery time and performing an enterotomy may decrease the probability of horses developing postoperative ileus. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine factors associated with development of postoperative ileus (POI) in horses undergoing surgery for colic. DESIGN: Prospective case-control study. ANIMALS: 251 horses undergoing colic surgery, of which 47 developed POI. PROCEDURE: Signalment, history, clinicopathologic data, pre- and postoperative treatments, lesions, complications, costs, and outcome were recorded for all horses during hospitalization. RESULTS: Variables associated with increased odds of POI included small intestinal lesion, high PCV, and increased duration of anesthesia. There was modest evidence that pelvic flexure enterotomy and intraoperative administration of lidocaine may have reduced the odds of developing POI. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Findings during the preoperative and intraoperative periods can be used to identify horses at increased risk of POI. Reducing surgical and anesthetic duration should decrease the incidence of POI. 相似文献

Reasons for performing the study: In man, peritoneal transforming growth factor beta (TGF‐β) is associated with peritoneal diseases and subsequent adhesion formation. No studies on plasma and peritoneal TGF‐β concentrations in horses with colic are available. Objectives: 1) To determine both plasma and peritoneal TGF‐β1 and TGF‐β3 concentrations in horses with different types of colic (not previously subjected to abdominal surgery); 2) to compare these concentrations according to the type of peritoneal fluid (transudate, modified transudate and exudate); and 3) to compare and correlate plasma and peritoneal concentrations of TGF‐β1 and TGF‐β3 and the types of peritoneal fluid according to the colic group and outcome. Methods: Peritoneal fluid and plasma samples from 78 horses with colic and 8 healthy horses were obtained. Patients were classified according to diagnosis (obstructions, enteritis, ischaemic disorders and peritonitis), peritoneal fluid analysis (transudate, modified transudate and exudate), and outcome (survivors and nonsurvivors). Plasma and peritoneal TGF‐β1 and TGF‐β3 concentrations were determined by ELISA. Data were analysed by parametric and nonparametric tests. P≤0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: Concentrations of peritoneal fluid TGF‐β1 were significantly (P = 0.01) higher in horses with peritonitis in comparison with all other colic groups and controls. Horses with ischaemic lesions had significantly (P = 0.01) higher concentrations of peritoneal TGF‐β1 in comparison with controls and the group of horses with obstructions. Peritoneal TGF‐β1 concentration also was significantly (P = 0.01) higher in exudates in comparison with transudates. Peritoneal TGF‐β1 and TGF‐β3 concentrations and plasma TGF‐β1 concentration were significantly increased in nonsurvivors compared to survivors (P = 0.001, P = 0.004 and P = 0.05, respectively). Conclusions: Peritoneal TGF‐β1 concentration was higher in horses with severe gastrointestinal diseases (ischaemic intestinal lesions and peritonitis), in horses with an altered peritoneal fluid (exudate), and in nonsurvivors. Potential relevance: Peritoneal TGF‐β concentration increases in horses with severe gastrointestinal disease as an anti‐inflammatory response. 相似文献
