title: [Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with alphaxolon/alphadolon (Saffan) for permanent restraint of two cats with severe dyspnea].
abstract: Total intravenous anaesthesia is a form of anaesthesia which is more often used in human medicine for high risk patients. The case reports of two cats with a severe dyspnoe are presented. Both patients received anaesthesia with the steroid anaesthetic agent Saffan for 19 and 25 hours, respectively. Saffan is a well-tolerated agent with little side effects. Dosage and monitoring results are presented.
