Complications following the use of the cuffless large animal endotracheal tube during general anesthesia in 2 horses are reported. One horse developed laryngeal edema during recovery. The edema was treated successfully with dexamethasone, but severe laryngeal trauma was confirmed 24 hours later at necropsy. The second horse had a swollen tongue and had difficulty eating for 3 days after anesthesia. The condition resolved without treatment. this report is a reminder of the potential damage which can occur from endotracheal intubation.
报告了2匹马在全身麻醉期间使用无套囊大型动物气管导管后的并发症。一匹马在恢复过程中出现喉水肿。水肿用地塞米松成功治疗,但尸检时在24小时后证实有严重的喉创伤。第二匹马舌头肿胀,麻醉后3天进食困难。该情况未经治疗自行缓解。本报告提醒人们注意气管插管可能造成的潜在损伤。
