Bloqueio dos nervos femoral e ciático em paciente pediátrico canino

Abstract

This report describes the activities carried out during the Mandatory Supervised Internship in the area of Veterinary Anesthesiology at the Veterinary Hospital of the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco, from April 1 to June 14, 2019, totaling 420 hours. The training took place under the guidance of Professor Lílian Sabrina Silvestre de Andrade and supervision of the Veterinary Medicine Maria Raquel de Almeida, and was based on the follow-up of the hospital routine of the anesthetic procedures performed at the veterinary hospital. The objective was to highlight the routine of the internship, covering aspects of the place, activities developed and casuistry. In addition, the case report of a pediatric patient treated during the stage submitted to sciatic and femoral nerve block for femoral osteosynthesis, presenting particularities of the pediatric patients, anesthetic techniques employed, as well as the drugs used, is also presented. Locoregional anesthesia has been widely used in veterinary medicine, since it is possible to reduce the requirement of general anesthetics for submission of a favorable transoperative and reduce the use of analgesic drugs in the postoperative period of the animals, thus promoting the reduction of effects associated with them. Femoral and sciatic nerve blocks proved to be effective in increasing the postoperative pain threshold in patients who underwent orthopedic surgery, which is known to promote moderate to severe pain.
