Risk factors associated with gastrointestinal dysfunction in horses undergoing elective procedures under general anaesthesia B. B. NELSON, E. E. LORDAN and D. M. HASSEL* Department of Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Colorado State University, USA. *Correspondence email: [email protected]; Received: 15.02.13; Accepted: 10.07.13
Summary Reasons for performing study: Gastrointestinal dysfunction occurs commonly following elective anaesthesia. Identification of risk factors may allow implementation of preventative measures to reduce the prevalence of colic following elective anaesthetic procedures. Objectives: To examine risk factors associated with gastrointestinal dysfunction or post anaesthetic colic for horses undergoing elective surgical or diagnostic procedures under general anaesthesia. Study design: Retrospective case series. Methods: Medical records were collected from adult horses undergoing general anaesthesia from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2010 using a retrospective cohort design. Potential risk factors were examined using univariable logistic regression with a limit of a P
