Serial evaluation of serum total reduction power potential by cyclic voltammetry in 30 dogs with gastric dilatation and volvulus- a randomised, controlled (lidocaine vs placebo), clinical trial

- The pathogenesis of canine GDV includes oxidative stress.
- Cyclic voltammetry can assist in assessing total reduction capacity of the serum in dogs with GDV.
- Oxidative stress parameters are correlated to gastric wall necrosis and outcome in canine GDV.
- Lidocaine can negate the decrease in total reduction potential.
