Pheochromocytoma (PHEO) ablation produces severe cardiovascular complications. In humans dexmedetomidine minimizes hemodynamic alterations during surgical PHEO manipulation (Singh and Singh 2014).

Anaesthesia was induced with propofol IV and maintained with isoflurane in oxygen. Dexmedetomidine (0.5 g kg-1 h-1) and remifentanil (3 g kg-1 min-1) or fentanyl (5-10 g kg-1 h-1) were administered IV. Cardiorespiratory parameters were monitored throughout the procedure. After extubation, dexmedetomidine was discontinued and post-operative analgesia was provided by methadone (0.1 mg kg-1) IM. Episode of hypotension, hypertension and arrhythmias were recorded and quantified. Data were analyzed with a descriptive statistic and are shown as mean  SD. In all dogs, sedation and induction were smooth without hemodynamic alterations. The mean HR intraopearively was 77.9  15.9 beats min-1 and the mean MAP was 75.1  4.7 mmHg.

Two dogs experienced transient hypotension (MAP 50 mmHg):one dog was treated with crystalloid administration; but in the other one dobutamine was administered IV. All dogs were discharged within 10 days. Perioperative administration of dexmedetomidine along with remifentanil or fentanyl in dogs with PHEO provided satisfactory sedation and analgesia.

Abstract

Dexmedetomidine for perioperative management of five dogs submitted to a pheochromocytoma ablation Lambertini C., Joechler M, Foglia A., Romagnoli N. Department of Veterinary Medical Sciences, Alma Mater Studiorum - University of Bologna,. Via Tolara di Sopra 50 - 40064 Ozzano dell’Emilia (BO), Italy. Pheochromocytoma (PHEO) ablation produces severe cardiovascular complications. In humans dexmedetomidine minimizes hemodynamic alterations during surgical PHEO manipulation (Singh and Singh 2014).
