Anestesia para manejo clínico em Panthera leo (leão): relato de caso

Abstract

The Compulsory Supervised Internship comprises a moment of paramount importance for the learning process of students of veterinary medicine, because it is a parallel made between theory and practice, important for the complete formation as a professional to be inserted in the business market. This report aimed to describe the activities in the area of Veterinary Anesthesiology, following the routine of the steering anesthesiologist Andréia Laís Teodoro da Cunha, in her differents workplaces, which were Animalis, Pet's House and UNIMEVE veterinary clinics, as well as the Dois Irmãos State Park, all located in the city of Recife - PE, under the supervision of the same veterinarian. The routine of the anesthesiology department of the veterinary hospital Pet Dream, Recife-PE, was also monitored, under the guidance of veterinarian José Fabson Pinheiro dos Santos. Stands out the case report of anesthesia for clinical management in Lion (Panthera leo), accompanied at the State Park of Dois Irmãos, in the African Lion, male, 20 years old, resident of the place. The activities were developed during the period from September 4th to November 20th, 2020, during a total of 420 hours of internship, divided into 270 hours accompanying the veterinarian Andréia Laís in her routine and 150 hours in the veterinary hospital Pet Dream. The data covered in this report were obtained through anesthetic records, anamnesis, anesthetic monitoring and physical examination. In this report, we chose to point the case report of anesthesia for clinical management in lion, being a case of dissociative anesthesia followed by physical restraint, emphasizing the importance of anesthesia for proper clinical management in wild animals, because without it, suggestive clinical and diagnostic examination as well as complementary examinations, would be impossible. Based on the above, it can be concluded that ESO was extremely relevant to improve anesthetic techniques, as well as to understand the routine of a veterinary anesthetist, knowing its job and putting into practice the knowledge acquired during the veterinary medicine course.
