- Gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV) commonly affects medium- to large-breed dogs and causes acute stomach dilation that compromises blood supply and can lead to tissue necrosis.GDV reduces venous return to the heart by compressing the caudal vena cava, resulting in decreased cardiac output and obstructive shock.Pre-anaesthetic preparation for GDV involves attempting stomach decompression and monitoring key clinical variables like packed cell volume, electrolytes, and lactate levels.Anaesthetic management of GDV patients should avoid drugs with negative cardiovascular effects and include preoxygenation, continuous ECG monitoring, and preparation of lidocaine for ventricular arrhythmias.Post-surgery, GDV patients require vigilant monitoring for cardiovascular issues, appropriate fluid therapy, and effective analgesia to ensure recovery.

- Hypercapnia associated with respiratory depressant drugs is extremely common in anesthetized patients.
- Treatment of hypercapnia/hypocapnia depends on the underlying cause; however, hypercapniais frequently.
- Oxygenation can be assessed non-invasively (pulse oximetry) or invasively (arterial blood gas), each with their own advantages/disadvantages.
- Mechanisms underlying hypoxemia include: hypoventilation, ventilation-perfusion inequalities, pulmonary or cardiac shunting of blood, impairments to gas diffusion, decreased inspired oxygen levels.
