In a retrospective study, the risk for cardiac dysrhythmias was evaluated in dogs undergoing ventral decompression and/or fenestration of the cervical spine (CERV) and compared with that for dogs undergoing dorsal laminectomy for decompression of the thoracic or lumbar spine (TL). The dogs in the CERV subset (48 dogs) tended to be heavier and older than the dogs in the TL subset (111 dogs). There was no apparent bias detected in treatment before anesthesia and surgery. The risk for dysrhythmias was 2.5 times greater in the CERV subset, compared with that in the TL subset (P less than 0.01). The risk for ventricular premature contraction was 3.5 times higher in the CERV group (P less than 0.05). Bradycardia was found in any dogsfrom the CERV subset and was not found in any dogs from the TL subset. A logistic model was derived from the data and may be used to evaluate the risk for dysrhythmias in similar patients undergoing similar surgery and anesthesia. This model uses age, preoperative heart rate, and site of surgery (CERV or TL) to estimate the risk.
