  • Title: Jugular thrombophlebitis resulting from an anaesthetic induction technique in the horse.
    Author: Dickson LR, Badcoe LM, Burbidge H, Kannegieter NJ.
    Journal: Equine Vet J; 1990 May; 22(3):177-9. PubMed ID: 2361504.
    Abstract:
    Forty-eight hours after general anaesthesia was induced by glycerol guaiacolate and thiopentone sodium in 10 horses, the jugular veins were dissected out at post-mortem and examined visually and histologically. All veins showed a marked thrombophlebitis involving the media and intima at the site of injection. The influence of catheter composition, catheter placement and chemical composition on the occurrence of the thrombophlebitis is discussed. It is concluded that the thrombophlebitis was chemically induced.
