The confidential enquiry into perioperative equine fatalities (CEPEF): mortality results of Phases 1 and 2.
TLDR
Fracture repair, out of hours surgery, and age below 1 month was associated with increased risk of dying whereas the use of acepromazine and intravenous anaesthetic agent maintenance of anaesthesia wasassociated with reduced risk.About:

TL;DR: Small animal anaesthesia appears to be increasingly safe, and greater patient care in the postoperative period could reduce fatalities.

Equine perioperative fatalities associated with general anaesthesia at a private practice – a retrospective case series
TL;DR: Familiarity with an anaesthetic protocol in combination with reduced anaesthetic time, emergencies of shorter duration between diagnosis and surgery, and adequate preoperative examination appear to minimize the risks associated with general anaesthesia in horses.

Risk factors for anaesthetic-related death in cats: results from the confidential enquiry into perioperative small animal fatalities (CEPSAF)
TL;DR: In this article, a nested case-control study was conducted in 117 UK veterinary centres and the overall risk of anaesthetic and sedation-related death was 0.24% (95% CI 0.20-0.27).
Journal ArticleDOI
Perioperative mortality in small animal anaesthesia.
TL;DR: Knowledge of factors associated with anaesthetic-related death and high risk peri-operative periods could aid patient management and reduce complications.
SPECIAL ARTICLE Risk factors for anaesthetic-related death in cats: results from the confidential enquiry into perioperative small animal fatalities (CEPSAF) †
TL;DR: The risk of anaesthetic-related death in cats appears to have decreased since the last published study in the UK and greater care with endotracheal intubation and fluid administration are recommended, and pulse and pulse oximetry monitoring should be routinely implemented in cats.

Factors influencing the outcome of equine anaesthesia: a review of 1,314 cases
S.S. Young,Polly M Taylor +1 more
TL;DR: Clinical treatment of hypotension during anaesthesia significantly reduced the hypotensive index but did not significantly alter the recovery quality or incidence of post-anaesthetic myopathy; the severity of the myopathy was markedly reduced in the animals treated for hypotension.
Journal ArticleDOI
Confidential enquiry of perioperative equine fatalities (CEPEF-1): preliminary results.
TL;DR: The preliminary results indicate an overall death rate, for equine patients dying or being subjected to euthanasia within 7 days of a general anaesthetic because of perioperative complications, of 102/6255 (1.6%).
