Anesthesia of the brachycephalic patient for MRI

In this lecture, Dr Elizabeth Goudie talks about the challenges we face when anesthetizing a brachycephalic dog, such as a French Bulldog, for advanced imaging. Dr Goudie discusses the underlying pathophysiology of brachycephalic breeds and the common comorbidities encountered in this population. Best practices for anesthetic management to prevent airway crisis, vagal episodes, and regurgitation, as well as manage recovery, are discussed.
