OBJECTIVES: To determine the mortality rates associated with @entity1641 anaesthesia for elective and emergency (colic and non-colic) cases in one @entity1641 , university teaching hospital and to investigate the effect of several @entity1641 - and anaesthetic-related variables on anaesthetic recovery quality. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective data analysis. ANIMALS OR ANIMAL POPULATION: In total, 1416 @entity1641 undergoing anaesthesia between May 2010 and December 2013. METHODS: @entity1 information and details of the anaesthetic, recovery period and immediate complications were extracted from an archiving database. Statistical evaluation of factors affecting mortality included chi-squared tests and binary logistic regression. Factors affecting recovery quality were investigated using univariable and multivariable ordinal logistic regression. Statistical significance was set at p  <  0.05. RESULTS: Anaesthesia/recovery-related mortality was 1.1% for all cases, 0.9% for elective cases, 1.6% for colics and 0% for non-colic emergencies. @entity174 and @entity3029 accounted for the majority (71.4%) of @entity204 . No intra-operative @entity204 occurred during the study period. Risk factors for mortality included increasing age and American Society of Anesthesiologist's (ASA) status but these and other factors were confounded by 'colic'. @entity532 in the immediate recovery period included postanaesthetic @entity121 / @entity16 and postanaesthetic @entity1576 . Recovery quality was associated with body mass (p  =  0.016), ASA status 3 and 4 (p  =  0.020 and 0.002, respectively), duration of anaesthesia (p  <  0.001) and out-of-hours anaesthesia (p  =  0.013). Although recovery quality was also influenced by age and breed-type, these factors were removed from the final model as age was highly associated with both ASA status (p  <  0.001) and colic surgery (p  <  0.001), and breed-type was a determinant of body mass. CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Anaesthetic/recovery-associated mortality was comparable to previously reported figures except intra-operative @entity204 were not reported. @entity174 remained responsible for the largest proportion of recovery-associated @entity204 . Improvements to the recovery process that can reduce @entity174 occurrence are still required.

Twenty years later: a single-centre, repeat retrospective analysis of XXXX perioperative mortality and investigation of recovery quality.
