A retrospective study evaluated 995 emergency equine general anaesthetics. The total mortality for emergency procedures was 31.4 per cent. This figure was examined in more detail to determine if all emergency procedures carried a similar risk. Horses anaesthetised for surgical colic had an increased risk of death or euthanasia, with a total mortality of 35.5 per cent when compared to horses anaesthetised for non-colic related problems which had a total mortality of 15.3 per cent. The findings of this study illustrate the greatly increased risk of mortality in horses undergoing general anaesthesia for emergency procedures. Mortality is 4.25 times more likely for emergency procedures not associated with colic than for similar procedures carried out electively. Emergency general anaesthesia for colic carries an increased risk of mortality of 9.86 times that of elective cases.
一项回顾性研究评估了995例马的急诊全身麻醉情况。急诊手术的总死亡率为31.4%。对这一数字进行了更详细的研究，以确定所有急诊手术的风险是否相似。因外科性腹痛接受麻醉的马死亡或安乐死风险增加，其总死亡率为35.5%，而因非腹痛相关问题接受麻醉的马总死亡率为15.3%。这项研究的结果表明，马在接受急诊全身麻醉时死亡风险大幅增加。与择期进行的类似手术相比，非腹痛相关的急诊手术死亡率高出4.25倍。因腹痛进行的急诊全身麻醉死亡率比择期病例高出9.86倍。
