Abstract

Objectives: Several anaesthetic protocols for caesarean section (c-section) have been described in dogs; however, anaesthesiological studies in cats undergoing c-section are lacking. The aim of this study was to assess the viability and outcome of kittens born from queens undergoing emergency c-section and receiving propofol or alfaxalone for anaesthetic induction and isoflurane for maintenance of general anaesthesia.

Methods: All cats admitted to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of the University of Bologna between January 2014 and December 2022 for dystocia that had undergone an emergency c-section were analysed in this retrospective study. The queens received propofol 2-6 mg/kg IV (group P) or alfaxalone 1-3 mg/kg IV (group A) administered slowly; general anaesthesia was maintained with isoflurane. Survival of all the kittens was evaluated at birth and after 24 h; in addition, heart rate, respiratory rate and mucous membrane colour were evaluated in the kittens at birth.

Results: Of the 14 cats included in the study, eight received alfaxalone (group A) and six received propofol (group P) for induction of the general anaesthesia. A total of 50 kittens were born by c-section: 30 kittens in group A and 20 in group P. The overall survival of the kittens was 90% at birth: 96.7% (29/30) for group A and 80% (16/20) for group P. The 24 h survival rate was 93.1% for group A and 87.5% for group P.

Conclusions and relevance: The results of the present study demonstrated that in cats undergoing c-section, both alfaxalone and propofol are feasible for the induction of general anaesthesia.

对使用阿伐沙龙或异丙酚对接受剖腹产手术的猫进行麻醉诱导的回顾性评估。

目的：已对狗剖腹产（c-section）的几种麻醉方案进行了描述，但对猫进行剖腹产的麻醉研究还很缺乏。本研究的目的是评估接受紧急剖腹产并在麻醉诱导时使用丙泊酚或阿法沙酮、在全身麻醉维持时使用异氟醚的母猫所生幼猫的存活率和结局：这项回顾性研究分析了博洛尼亚大学兽医教学医院在 2014 年 1 月至 2022 年 12 月期间因子宫收缩而接受紧急剖腹产手术的所有猫咪。猫后接受异丙酚 2-6 毫克/千克静脉注射（P 组）或阿法沙隆 1-3 毫克/千克静脉注射（A 组），缓慢给药；异氟烷维持全身麻醉。对所有小猫出生时和出生 24 小时后的存活率进行了评估；此外，还对小猫出生时的心率、呼吸频率和粘膜颜色进行了评估：在参与研究的 14 只猫咪中，8 只接受了阿法沙龙（A 组），6 只接受了异丙酚（P 组）进行全身麻醉诱导。共有 50 只小猫通过剖腹产出生：小猫出生时的总存活率为 90%：A 组为 96.7%（29/30），P 组为 80%（16/20）；24 小时存活率 A 组为 93.1%，P 组为 87.5%：本研究结果表明，对于接受剖腹产的猫，阿法沙龙和异丙酚都可用于全身麻醉诱导。

期刊介绍： JFMS is an international, peer-reviewed journal aimed at both practitioners and researchers with an interest in the clinical veterinary healthcare of domestic cats. The journal is published monthly in two formats: ‘Classic’ editions containing high-quality original papers on all aspects of feline medicine and surgery, including basic research relevant to clinical practice; and dedicated ‘Clinical Practice’ editions primarily containing opinionated review articles providing state-of-the-art information for feline clinicians, along with other relevant articles such as consensus guidelines.
