Abstract: | Surgical diseases induce pathophysiologic alterations in ruminants and swine that are often of critical importance in the perioperative period. Circulation and ventilation may be severely compromised. Alterations in acid-base balance, fluids, and electrolytes should be anticipated, identified, and corrected. Also discussed is the selection of appropriate anesthetic techniques and supportive therapy based upon the patient's physiologic status and surgical requirements. |
