Anesthesia in dog with hemoperitoneum due to esplenic hemangiosarcoma rupture
Keywords:
Canine hemangiosarcoma, hemoperitoneum, Tranexamic acid, Permissive hypotension, ArrhythmiaAbstract
Hemangiosarcoma is a common tumor in dogs and a frequent cause of hemoperitoneum in small animal practice. In this emergency, quick diagnosis and focus on hemostasis are inecessary. Thus, damage control techniques and team organization for surgery can be used, including the use of blood components, permissive hypotension technique, and antifibrinolytic drugs like tranexamic acid, all of these to reduce bleeding and maintain tissue perfusion. Therefore, this study aims to report the anesthesia of a patient with hemoabdomen due to splenic mass rupture, later diagnosed as moderately differentiated hemangiosarcoma, discussing the drugs used and complications during the procedure, as well as the actions taken to reduce bleeding before and during surgical hemostasis.
