CONTENT DESCRIPTION

The three panellists bring a very different background to the discussion, but all have significant and long-standing experience with rope-assisted recovery.  They furthermore have strong views and opinions on the usefulness and value of assisted recovery systems, which will be guaranteed to lead to a lively debate!

1.   Facilities/ design

       • Stall design and footing play a larger role than use of ropes in assisted recovery

       • With so many different types of systems and most of them retro-fitted, a comparison between hospitals is impossible

2.   Chemical restraint as an alternative

       • In healthy horses, appropriate sedation eliminates the need for assisted recovery

3.   Welfare

       • Assisted rope recovery stimulates horses to try to recover more quickly than if they were left unassisted

       • Interventional recoveries compromise the welfare of horses undergoing general anaesthesia

4.   Caseload/ Training

       • Assisted rope recovery is only necessary to recovery fracture patients or to assist horses after a long anesthesia

       • Assisted rope recovery is only needed when you work with a non-boarded improperly trained anesthetist

       • Issues with training, skill and strength may limit routine use

5.   Evidenced-based Veterinary Medicine

       • Is there evidence of increased safety for horses & people?

       • What's the cost-benefit ratio?

       • Interventional recoveries have paralysed meaningful research into equine anaesthesia
