There is no specific treatment. In the event of respiratory arrest of a horse during general anesthesia following a retrobulbar block, intermittent positive pressure ventilation should be instituted. The horse should not be recovered from anesthesia at least until spontaneous ventilation has been resumed. In recovery, the horse should be heavily sedated and anticonvulsive treatment readily available. Sling recovery may be considered. If brainstem anesthesia occurs with the horse standing, this could pose a risk to the personnel as the horse may collapse and/or seizure. Symptomatic treatment should be instituted (e.g. induction of general anesthesia, tracheal intubation, positive pressure ventilation, anticonvulsive treatment).
