| Abstract: | Abstract Extract The abnormally long occlusion of the laryngeal aditus by continued action of the intrinsic laryngeal muscles (laryngospasm) has been recorded in many experimental and domestic animals and in man. Most reports on laryngospasm have been related to its occurrence under general anaesthesia where it has been foundin all the domestic species (Lumb, 1963 Lumb, W. V. 1963. Small Animal Anaesthesia, 357–357. Philadelphia: Lea &; Febiger. In [Google Scholar]; Westhues and Fritsch, 1965 Westhues, M. and Fritsoh, R. 1965. Animal Anaesthesia, Vol. 2, 297–297. Edinburgh and London: Oliver &; Boyd. In [Google Scholar]; Hall, 1966 Hall, L. W. 1966. Wright's Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia, 6th ed., 460–461. London: Bailliere, Tindall and Cassell. [Google Scholar]) but is most commonly encountered in the cat (Rex, 1969 Rex, M. A. E. 1969. Laryngospasm during General Anaesthesia in the Cat, Massey University. Ph.D. thesis [Google Scholar]). |
