Resumen : Background: Patient safety is essential in small animal anaesthesia. Thisstudy aimed to assess anaesthesia-related deaths in cats worldwide, identifyrisk and protective factors and provide insights for clinical practice.Methods: A prospective multicentre cohort study of 14,962 cats from198 veterinary centres across different countries was conducted. Data onanaesthesia-related deaths, from premedication up to 48 hours postex-tubation, were collected. Logistic regression was used to analyse patientdemographics, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification,procedure type and anaesthetic drugs.Results: The anaesthesia-related mortality was 0.63%, with 74.5% of deathsoccurring postoperatively. Cats with cachexia, a higher ASA status or whounderwent abdominal, orthopaedic/neurosurgical or thoracic proceduresexhibited elevated mortality. Mechanical ventilation use was associated withincreased mortality. Mortality odds were reduced by the use of alpha2 -agonistsedatives, pure opioids in premedication and locoregional techniques.Limitations: Limitations include non-randomised sampling, potentialbiases, unquantified response rates, subjective death cause classification andlimited variable analysis.Conclusions: Anaesthetic mortality in cats is significant, predominantlypostoperative. Risk factors include cachexia, higher ASA status, specificprocedures and mechanical ventilation. Protective factors include alpha2 -agonist sedatives, pure opioids and locoregional techniques. These findingscan help improve anaesthesia safety and outcomes. However, further researchis required to improve protocols, enhance data quality and minimise risks.
