Study Notes
Study on Adverse Reactions in Horses Undergoing Myelography
- Study aimed to investigate complications related to myelography procedures in horses, focusing on adverse reactions (AAR).
- Hypothesized that AAR correlates with changes in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) volume due to CSF removal or contrast material addition.
- Higher premyelography neurologic grade may lead to increased AAR incidence.
- Non-specific hyperthermia potentially mitigated by anti-inflammatory and osmotic agents.
Study Design and Population
- Multi-institutional, retrospective observational study conducted from 2000 to 2012.
- Sample consisted of 278 horses across five institutions, with varied participant numbers:
- Institution A: 87 horses
- Institution B: 68 horses
- Institution C: 65 horses
- Institution D: 46 horses
- Institution E: 12 horses
Results Summary
- AAR observed in 95 out of 278 horses (34% prevalence).
- AAR linked to extended general anesthesia duration (P = 0.04) and higher volumes of contrast medium (P = 0.04).
- Euthanasia due to AAR occurred in 5 out of 278 horses (2%).
- Adverse neurologic reactions were the most significant complications, occurring in 15 out of 278 horses (5%).
- During intra- and postmyelography, 42 out of 235 horses (18%) experienced adverse neurologic reactions.
- No significant relationship between AAR and premyelography neurologic grade was established (P = 0.31).
- Non-specific hyperthermia reported in 25 out of 235 horses (11%), with no linkage to anti-inflammatory or osmotic agent administration (P = 0.30).
