Fluid Heating System (SAF): effects on clinical and biochemistry parameters in dogs submitted to inhalatory anesthesia.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate and describe immediate effects of the infusion of saline solution heated by SAF in bitches submitted to halothane anesthesia.


METHODS
Thirteen bitches were employed and submitted to elective ovariohysterectomy in acclimatized operating room at 22 degrees C, allocated in two groups: GI, which received non-heated fluid and GII, which received fluid heated at 37 degrees C by SAF. The following parameters were evaluated in 30-minutes intervals (M0, M30, M60 and M90): rectal and cutaneous temperatures (TR and TC), cardiac and respiratory frequencies (HR and ), mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), serum concentration of urea, creatinin, serum activities of alanin aminotranspherasis (ALT), alkaline phosphatasis (ALP) and also hypnosis parameters.


RESULTS
There were no significant alterations on clinical and biochemical, but there was group effect on mean arterial blood pressure, urea, ALT, ALP and hypnosis parameters.


CONCLUSIONS
The isolated use of Fluid Heating System (SAF) was not enough to avoid hypothermia or lead to significant clinical and biochemical alterations in bitches submitted to halothane anesthesia.
