Relatório de estágio curricular obrigatório: área de anestesiologia veterinária

Abstract

The internship was carried out at the Veterinary Hospital Institute of the University of Caxias do Sul (IHVET-UCS), located in the city of Caxias do Sul, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, from March 4 to May 17, 2024, totaling 400 hours, under the guidance of Prof. Me. Gustavo Brambatti and supervision of the veterinarian Me. Larissa Dariva. During the internship, it was possible to follow the pre-anesthetic screening of patients, the determination of anesthetic protocols, the pre-surgical preparation, the application of pre-anesthetic medications (MPA), the configuration of anesthetic equipment such as syringe pumps and injection platforms. mechanical ventilation, and anesthetic monitoring in surgical and outpatient settings, in addition to sedation for imaging exams. In relation to the sample followed at IHVET-UCS, a total of 137 animals were treated in block 46, with emphasis on the canine species (n=102/74.45%). The most used anesthetic protocols were the association of dexmedetomidine and methadone in MPA (n=81/59.2%), propofol in induction (n=86/62.8%), and for intraoperative analgesia and maintenance, continuous infusion of ketamine+dexmedetomidine (CETODEX) together with remifentanil (n=29/26.1%) and inhalation anesthesia, respectively. Among these, two case reports were described: Blockade of the auriculotemporal and greater auricular nerves for total ablation of the ear canal in a dog with heart disease, and blockage of the brachial plexus guided by a neurolocalizer for osteosynthesis of the radius and ulna in a canine. In block 47, 147 animals were treated, with emphasis on the feline species (n=83/56.5%) and the majority of them females (n=101/68%). The curricular internship is the moment in which all the theory learned during the veterinary medicine degree meets practice, enabling the improvement of techniques and the learning of new approaches, promoting professional and personal growth. The present work aims to report the experience, the internship location, activities developed, case series followed, and two reports of anesthetic cases. [resumo fornecido pelo autor]
