A perioperative protocol for patients undergoing surgical correction of BOAS was implemented in June 2021, which included preoperative cisapride and antacid administration, minimizing opioid use, and a slow recovery with nebulization of hypertonic saline. Patient factors, perioperative treatments administered, and complications identified in hospital were recorded and compared between pre- and postprotocol groups.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The pre- and postprotocol groups included 42 and 47 dogs, respectively. A significant reduction in postoperative respiratory distress events was identified after protocol implementation (postprotocol, n = 6 [12.77%]; preprotocol, 15 [35.71%]). Postoperative regurgitation (preprotocol, n = 15 [35.71%]; postprotocol, 23 [48.94%]) and aspiration pneumonia events (preprotocol, 4 [9.52%]; postprotocol, 3 [6.38%]) did not differ significantly between groups.
