General anaesthetic risks in horses – what evidence is available, and what can Registered Veterinary Nurses do to help?

Abstract The risk of mortality or serious morbidity is particularly high in horses undergoing general anaesthesia (GA). GA is unfortunately generally not something that Registered Veterinary Nurses (RVNs) have a lot of involvement with in equine practice. This is a shame, as certain risk factors for equine patients undergoing GA have been identified by a series of studies known as The Confidential Enquiry into Perioperative Equine Fatalities (CEPEF 1–3) (2002–2004). RVNs are in a unique position to use the information gained from the CEPEF studies to improve the welfare of their patients.
