CASE STUDY: Bellа, а 3-yeаr-оld female terrier mix, is in the hоspital fоr her ovariohysterectomy. She was premedicated with a combination of hydromorphone and dexmedetomidine and induced with alfaxalone. She has been maintained on 2% isoflurane. Her MAP (mean arterial pressure) has been steady between 65-70 mm Hg but begins to drop to 60, then 55 mm Hg after about 10 minutes. Her SpO2, heart rate, and ETCO2 appear stable. As you think through this scenario, ask yourself the following questions: Is Bella in a deep plane of anesthesia? Is Bella on IV fluids? At what rate? Is the most painful/stimulating part of the procedure over?Did Bella receive any local anesthesia? Answer the following question: What step, if any, should be taken to correct this issue?
