Relato de estágio curricular obrigatório: área de anestesiologia veterinária

Abstract

The mandatory curricular internship was carried out at the university veterinary hospital, belonging to the Federal University of Santa Maria, in the area of veterinary anesthesiology. It was supervised by Professor Karina Affeldt Guterres, PhD, and supervised by Veterinarian Beatriz Perez Floriano, and took place from August 4 to October 17, 2025, totaling 509 hours. During this period, 95 animals were treated, with a focus on dogs (75.5%), mainly ASA III animals (42.9%). During the internship, most of the anesthetic protocols monitored consisted of partial intravenous anesthesia, used in 50% of cases. It was also observed that 38.75% of the animals did not receive pre-anesthetic medication. Regarding anesthetic induction, 24.43% of the protocols used propofol, and 15.91% of the cases used continuous infusions with a combination of fentanyl, lidocaine, and ketamine. In addition, 56.67% of patients received supportive therapy consisting of meloxicam, dipyrone, and cephalothin. The objective of this report is to describe the internship location, activities, and cases treated, as well as to report two cases followed during the period. The first refers to the anesthetic management of a Shih Tzu dog with hypoadrenocorticism undergoing pulmonary lobectomy due to pulmonary adenocarcinoma, and the second refers to the anesthetic aspects of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) occlusion in a German Spitz dog.
