Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Two cases of suspected anaphylaxis occurred in the authors' hospital within two weeks of each other. The first, a six-year-and-four-month-old border collie, presented for thoracic wall resection. Once anaesthetised, 20 mg/kg of intravenous cefuroxime (Zinacef 75 mg/ml, GlaxoSmithKline UK) was administered slowly for prophylactic antibiosis. Ten minutes after administration was completed,desaturation occurred alongside tachycardia, hypotension and apnoea. Chest compliance was extremely poor, with minimal chest movement. Treatment included intermittent positive pressure ventilation, intravenous fluids, terbutaline, adrenaline and dexamethasone. The second case, a five-year-and-eight-month-old Lhasa apso, presented for elective orthopaedic surgery. Intravenous cefuroxime (Zinacef 75 mg/ml) was again administered slowly for prophylactic antibiosis; however, it is uncertain whether the patient received the full dose of 20 mg/kg. Mid-administration tachycardia, tachypnoea and hypotension occurred,alongside poor chest compliance. Cefuroxime administration was stopped, the fluid line disconnected and treatment with chlorphenamine given.
