Ítem Acceso Abierto Irrigación de lidocaína mediante una bomba elastomérica en hembras caninas sometidas a ovariohisterectomia(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Quinde Viñanzaca, Manuel Antonio; Castillo Hidalgo, Edy Paul; 0104382841Surgery causes tissue injury that triggers nociception and inflammation, increasing pain. In addition to being an analgesic, Lidocaine has antiinflammatory properties by inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The use of elastomeric pumps for continuous medication administration has shown benefits in inpatient and outpatient care, maintaining constant plasma levels and improving symptom control. The use of an elastomeric pump for continuous lidocaine irrigation in female dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomy (OVH) is proposed to assess its effectiveness in controlling postoperative pain and accelerating the healing process. This study aims to improve postoperative pain management in female dogs undergoing OVH, contributing to animal welfare and reducing the side effects of surgery. An accessible and effective technique that can be implemented in various veterinary settings is suggested, improving patients' quality of life and optimizing available resources. OVH is commonly performed due to the overpopulation of stray dogs and sterilization campaigns in low-income communities. Postoperative pain management is crucial for animal welfare, emphasizing the need to test various techniques to determine their efficacy and implement the most beneficial approach
