Twenty-nine cats were enrolled. Using an adapted composite pain scale, cats were pain scored before the dental procedure and 30 mins, and 1, 2 and 4 h after isoflurane disconnection. Cats were sedated with buprenorphine (20 \u00b5g\/kg), medetomidine (10 \u00b5g\/kg) and acepromazine (20 \u00b5g\/kg) intramuscularly. Anaesthesia was induced using alfaxalone (1\u20132 mg\/kg) intravenously and maintained with isoflurane in oxygen. Each cat was randomly assigned to receive maxillary and\/or inferior alveolar nerve blocks or no nerve blocks prior to dental extractions. Each nerve block was performed using lidocaine (0.25 mg\/kg) and bupivacaine (0.25 mg\/kg). Heart rate, systolic arterial blood pressure, respiratory rate, end tidal carbon dioxide and isoflurane vaporiser settings were recorded 5 mins before and after the dental extractions, and the difference calculated. Group mean differences (mean \u00b1 SD) for heart rate (\u22129.7 \u00b1 10.6 vs 7.6 \u00b1 9.5 beats\/min [nerve block vs control group, respectively], P &lt;0.0001), systolic arterial blood pressure (\u221210.33 \u00b1 18.44 vs 5.21 \u00b1 15.23 mmHg, P = 0.02) and vaporiser settings (\u22120.2 \u00b1 0.2 vs 0.1 \u00b1 0.4, P = 0.023) were significantly different between groups. The control group had higher postoperative pain scores (median [interquartile range]) at 2 h (3 [1.75\u20134.00] vs 1 [0\u20132], P = 0.008) and 4 h (4 [2\u20136] vs 2 [1\u20132], P = 0.006) after the dental extractions. Maxillary and inferior alveolar nerve blocks with lidocaine and bupivacaine administered prior to dental extractions resulted in a reduction in heart rate and blood pressure while allowing for a reduction in isoflurane. Cats receiving nerve blocks had lower postoperative pain scores than the group without nerve blocks.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1098612x14533551","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,13]],"date-time":"2014-05-13T02:19:18Z","timestamp":1399947558000},"page":"110-116","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":43,"title":["Analgesic effects of maxillary and inferior alveolar nerve blocks in cats undergoing dental extractions"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Joana","family":"Aguiar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Stone Lion Veterinary Hospital, Wimbledon, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexandre","family":"Chebroux","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Cambridge, Queen\u2019s Veterinary School Hospital, Cambridge, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fernando","family":"Martinez-Taboada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"North Downs Specialist Referrals, The Brewerstreet Dairy Business Park, Bletchingley, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elizabeth A","family":"Leece","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dick White Referrals, Six Mile Bottom, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1098612X14533551","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5326\/0430298"},{"key":"bibr2-1098612X14533551","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cvsm.2005.02.004"},{"key":"bibr3-1098612X14533551","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.tcam.2008.02.007"},{"key":"bibr4-1098612X14533551","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1476-4431.2005.00172.x"},{"key":"bibr5-1098612X14533551","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1467-2995.2009.00509.x"},{"key":"bibr6-1098612X14533551","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1467-2995.2005.00282.x"},{"key":"bibr7-1098612X14533551","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2460\/ajvr.2000.61.1245"},{"key":"bibr8-1098612X14533551","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5326\/JAAHA-MS-5846"},{"key":"bibr9-1098612X14533551","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2460\/ajvr.72.2.174"},{"key":"bibr10-1098612X14533551","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1939-1676.2007.tb03005.x"},{"key":"bibr11-1098612X14533551","first-page":"1411","volume":"51","author":"O\u2019Morrow C","year":"2010","journal-title":"Can Vet J"},{"key":"bibr12-1098612X14533551","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1467-2995.2011.00654.x"},{"key":"bibr13-1098612X14533551","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5326\/0430235"},{"key":"bibr14-1098612X14533551","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/svms.2002.36609"},{"key":"bibr15-1098612X14533551","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cvsm.2008.06.008"}],"container-title":["Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/1098612X14533551","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/1098612X14533551","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/1098612X14533551","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,29]],"date-time":"2026-04-29T22:11:39Z","timestamp":1777500699000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/1098612X14533551"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,12]]},"references-count":15,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2015,2]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/1098612X14533551"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/1098612x14533551","relation":{},"ISSN":["1098-612X","1532-2750"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1098-612X","type":"print"},{"value":"1532-2750","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,12]]}}}
