An investigation into the airway management preferences and the barriers towards performing endotracheal intubation in feline patients undergoing elective neutering procedures. Part 1: Literature review.

Hamilton, Lowrie; Batt-Williams, Sarah

Abstract

Airway management is a vital part of the anaesthetic process and crucial to the health and welfare of animals undergoing anaesthetic procedures by delivering oxygen and inhalation agents (Johnson 2009). The current methods available to veterinary practice are well discussed with the advantages and disadvantages of each method widely known (Sheppard 2018) and summarised in part one of this two part series. However, which methods are most used in practice for feline neutering procedures and why these methods are chosen is unknown, with no previous studies on this topic. This will be explored in part two of this series.
