OBJECTIVE: To determine antiemetic efficacy of prophylactic administration of dexamethasone and its influence on sedation in cats sedated with xylazine hydrochloride. ANIMALS: 6 healthy adult cats (3 males and 3 females). PROCEDURE: The prophylactic antiemetic effect of 4 doses of dexamethasone (1, 2, 4, and 8 mg/kg of body weight, IM) or saline (0.9% NaCl) solution (0.066 ml/kg, IM) administered 1 hour before administration of xylazine (0.66 mg/kg, IM) was evaluated. Cats initially were given saline treatment (day 0) and were given sequentially increasing doses of xylazine on days 7, 14, 21, and 28. After xylazine injection, all cats were observed for 30 minutes to allow assessment of frequency of emesis and time until onset of the first emetic episode.The influence of dexamethasone on xylazine-induced sedation in these cats also was evaluated. RESULTS: Prior treatment with 4 or 8 mg/kg of dexamethasone significantly reduced the frequency of emetic episodes and also significantly prolonged the time until onset of the first emetic episode after xylazine injection. Time until onset of the first emetic episode also was significantly prolonged for dexamethasone at a dose of 2 mg/kg. Time until onset of sedation after administration of xylazine was not altered by administration of dexamethasone. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Dexamethasone (4 or 8 mg/kg, IM) significantly decreased the frequency of emetic episodes induced by xylazine without compromising sedative effects in cats. Dexamethasone may be used prophylactically as an antiemetic in cats treated with xylazine.  相似文献

The present study characterizes the safety, pharmacokinetics, and anti-emetic effects of the selective NK-1 receptor antagonist maropitant in the cat. Safety of maropitant was determined following 15 days of subcutaneous (SC) administration at 0.5–5 mg/kg. Maropitant was well tolerated in cats at doses that exceeded the efficacious anti-emetic dose range of the drug by at least a factor of 10 and adverse clinical signs or pathological safety findings were not noted at any dose.The pharmacokinetics of maropitant in cats were determined following single dose oral (PO), intravenous (IV) and SC administration. Maropitant had a terminal half-life of 13–17 h and a bioavailability of 50 and 117% when administered PO and SC, respectively. Efficacy was determined against emesis induced either by xylazine or by motion. A dosage of 1 mg/kg maropitant administered IV, SC or PO prevented emesis elicited by xylazine. The compound had good oral antiemetic activity and a long (24 h) duration of action. Maropitant (1.0 mg/kg) was highly effective in preventing motion-induced emesis in cats. These studies indicate that the NK-1 receptor antagonist maropitant is well tolerated, safe and has excellent anti-emetic properties in cats.  相似文献

The effects of xylazine given to cats before anesthetization was induced with pentobarbital were determined. Cardiac hemodynamic variables and regional blood flow rates in the heart and other organs were measured, using radiolabeled microspheres. Two groups, each of 10 cats, were included in the study: one group (group 1) was anesthetized with pentobarbital given intraperitoneally and subsequently given xylazine; the other group (group 2) was first given 1 mg of xylazine/kg, IM, and then anesthetized with pentobarbital given IV. Anesthesia was maintained in both groups with nitrous oxide. The preanesthetic administration of xylazine decreased the amount of pentobarbital used for surgical anesthesia by approximately 50%. It also resulted in decreased heart rate, cardiac contractility, and cardiac output and increased left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, compared with those values in cats given pentobarbital (group 1). After the latter cats (anesthetized with pentobarbital) were given xylazine, heart rate, cardiac contractility, and cardiac output decreased and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure increased to values similar to those found in group 2 (given xylazine before anesthetization). Myocardial tissue blood flow rates in the left and right ventricles were lower in the cats of group 2. In group 1 cats, myocardial blood flow rates decreased when xylazine was subsequently added. Blood flow rates in the kidneys and gastrointestinal tract were generally decreased by xylazine. Xylazine profoundly changed cardiac hemodynamic function and perfusion in the heart, as well as several other organ systems, because of marked cardiodepression.  相似文献

Objective  To evaluate the effect of acepromazine or xylazine on Schirmer tear test 1 results in clinically normal cats.
Animals  Sixteen healthy cross-breed cats.
Procedure  The animals were randomly divided into two groups of eight cats each. The first group was sedated with acepromazine alone (0.2 mg/kg) and the second group received only xylazine (2 mg/kg). All cats had Schirmer tear test (STT) readings taken prior to sedation and at 15 and 25 min postsedation.
Results  Sedation with acepromazine or xylazine in cats with normal pre-sedation STT 1 values caused a statistically significant decrease in mean values of tear production in both groups. In acepromazine group the mean ± SEM STT at T15 and T25 were 4.31 ± 0.98 ( P  < 0.001) and 5.18 ± 1.07 ( P  = 0.002). The post-treatment mean ± SEM values in xylazine group were 2.18 ± 0.97 ( P  < 0.001) and 2.62 ± 1.17 ( P  = 0.001) at 15 and 25 min respectively. Comparison between T15 and T25 in acepromazine group ( P  = 0.49) and xylazine group ( P  = 0.56) revealed no significant differences.
Conclusion  These observations indicate that both acepromazine or xylazine significantly reduced tear production in clinically normal cats. In cats, clinicians should measure STT values prior to utilizing acepromazine or xylazine as sedatives in order to accurately assess the results. Moreover, sterile ocular lubricant or tear replacement should be used as a corneal protectant during sedation with these drugs.  相似文献

Effect of yohimbine on xylazine-ketamine anesthesia in cats   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  
Xylazine and ketamine are an anesthetic combination used in feline practice for routine surgical procedures. In a controlled study, we evaluated the effects of yohimbine, an antagonist of xylazine, on the anesthesia induced by this anesthetic combination in cats. Two intramuscular doses of xylazine and ketamine (2.2 mg of xylazine/kg plus 6.6 mg of ketamine/kg and 4.4 mg of xylazine/kg plus 6.6 mg of ketamine/kg) caused approximately 60 and 100 minutes of anesthesia, respectively, in control cats. When yohimbine (0.1 mg/kg) was given intravenously 45 minutes after ketamine administration, the cats regained consciousness within 3 minutes. They were ambulatory 1 to 2 minutes after regaining consciousness. Yohimbine also reversed the bradycardia and respiratory depression elicited by xylazine-ketamine. The results indicated that yohimbine may be useful for controlling the duration of xylazine-ketamine anesthesia in cats.  相似文献

In 2 separate experiments, groups of atropinized cats (6 cats/group) were given acepromazine (0.25 mg/kg of body weight) or xylazine (2.2 mg/kg) IM and anesthetized with pentobarbital. The mean dose of pentobarbital was decreased approximately 36% by acepromazine, and approximately 80% by xylazine, compared with published doses. Anesthetized cats were given IV saline solution (control groups) or were given the antagonists 4-aminopyridine (4-AP; 0.5 mg/kg), yohimbine (0.4 mg/kg), or 4-AP + yohimbine (0.5 mg/kg and 0.4 mg/kg, respectively). In acepromazine-treated cats, 4-AP + yohimbine was the most effective antagonist; arousal and walking occurred in an average of 10.4 minutes and 91.7 minutes, respectively. Yohimbine enhanced the antagonistic effects of 4-AP. In xylazine-treated cats, yohimbine was an effective antagonist; arousal and walking occurred in an average of 2.8 minutes and 12.8 minutes, respectively. Yohimbine did not enhance the antagonistic effects of 4-AP. Mean respiratory rates were decreased by acepromazine, but were increased by xylazine. Thus, respiratory rate depression by pentobarbital was not as marked with xylazine as it was with acepromazine. Changes in mean heart rate were not remarkable with either sedative, and cardiac irregularities were not palpated or auscultated. In healthy cats, the duration of pentobarbital anesthesia can be controlled by 4-AP + yohimbine (acepromazine-pretreated cats) or by yohimbine alone (xylazine-pretreated cats).  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the sedative, analgesic, and cardiorespiratory effects of intramascular (IM) romifidine in cats. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective, randomized experimental trial. ANIMALS: Ten healthy adult cats. METHODS: Romifidine (100, 200, and 400 microg kg(-1)) or xylazine (1 mg kg(-1)) was given IM in a cross-over study design. Heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), rectal temperature (RT), hemoglobin saturation, oscillometric arterial pressure, and scores for sedation, muscle relaxation, position, auditory response, and analgesia were determined before and after drug administration. Time to recumbency, duration of recumbency, and time to recover from sedation were determined. Subjective evaluation and cardiorespiratory variables were recorded before and at regular intervals for 60 minutes after drug administration. RESULTS: Bradycardia developed in all cats that were given romifidine or xylazine. No other significant differences in physiologic parameters were observed from baseline values or between treatments. Increasing the dose of romifidine did not result in increased sedation or muscle relaxation. Cats given xylazine showed higher sedation and muscle relaxation scores over time. Analgesia scores were significantly higher after administration of romifidine (400 microg kg(-1)) and xylazine (1 mg kg(-1)) than after romifidine at 100 or 200 microg kg(-1). Duration of lateral recumbency was not significantly different between treatments; however, cats took longer to recover after administration of 400 micro g kg(-1) romifidine. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Bradycardia is the most important adverse effect after IM administration of romifidine at doses ranging from 100 to 400 microg kg(-1) or 1 mg kg(-1) of xylazine in cats. The sedative effects of romifidine at 200 microg kg(-1) are comparable to those of 1 mg kg(-1) of xylazine, although muscle relaxation and analgesia were significantly less with romifidine than with xylazine.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of several drug combinations (atropine, xylazine, romifidine, methotrimeprazine, midazolam, or fentanyl) with ketamine for short term anesthesia in cats. Twelve cats were anesthetized 6 times by using a cross-over Latin square protocol: methotrimeprazine was combined with midazolam, ketamine, and fentanyl; midazolam and ketamine; romifidine and ketamine; and xylazine and ketamine. Atropine was combined with romifidine and ketamine, and xylazine and ketamine. Temperature, heart rate, and respiratory rate decreased in all groups. Apnea occurred in 1 cat treated with methotrimeprazine, romifidine, and ketamine, suggesting that ventilatory support may be necessary when this protocol is used. Emesis occurred in some cats treated with alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonists, and this side effect should be considered when these drugs are used.  相似文献

Hyperglycaemic effect of xylazine   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  
In cats, xylazine, an analogue of clonidine, produced hyperglycaemia when injected intravenously. The effect was obtained in unanaesthetized cats and in pentobarbitone sodium anaesthesia. The hyperglycaemia was not a central effect, nor due to adrenaline release from the adrenals, nor to a direct action of xylazine on the liver. It resulted from a fall in plasma insulin produced by an action of xylazine on the pancreas, inhibiting insulin secretion without affecting glucagon secretion. The increase in the glucagon/insulin ratio, by stimulating glucose production in the liver, was probably responsible for the xylazine-induced hyperglycaemia.  相似文献

Cardiac performance was evaluated in 9 healthy cats sedated with xylazine. Each cat was evaluated echocardiographically before and after the administration of xylazine or xylazine and glycopyrrolate. Each cat was echocardiographically evaluated during manual restraint only (control value), after IM administration of 0.55 mg of xylazine/kg of body weight, after IM administration of 2.2 mg of xylazine/kg, and after IM administration of 0.011 mg of glycopyrrolate/kg followed 10 minutes later by IM administration of 2.2 mg of xylazine/kg. Echocardiographic indices of cardiac performance (fractional shortening, left ventricular wall amplitude, aortic amplitude, mitral valve E point septal separation) indicated a significant decrease (P less than 0.05) in the left ventricular function and heart rate after the small (0.55 mg/kg) and large (2.2 mg/kg) dosages of xylazine. With the administration of glycopyrrolate, the bradycardia was minimized, but cardiac performance was not improved. After administration of glycopyrrolate, cardiac performance decreased, but the decrease was not significant when compared with the ventricular performance of the cats after administration of the large dosage of xylazine. Compared with control values, the reduction in left ventricular function values associated with administration of xylazine or xylazine and glycopyrrolate was independent of the heart rate. Therefore, the alpha-2 adrenergic agonist xylazine has a marked depressive effect on cardiac performance in the cat, and premedication with glycopyrrolate may not completely alleviate the undesirable bradycardia, but may actually be detrimental to the cardiovascular system.  相似文献

Intramuscular injection of xylazine induced dose-dependent vomiting in cats (ED50 = 0.277 mg/kg); administration of standard dose of xylazine (2 mg/kg, 2 times the 100% emetic dose) induced vomiting in 100% of the cats studied. The xylazine-induced vomiting was antagonized by adrenoceptor antagonists possessing alpha 2-blocking activity, which were yohimbine, tolazoline, and phentolamine. Of these antagonists, yohimbine was the most effective; the maximal antagonistic effect was seen at 1 mg of yohimbine/kg, a dose at which the other drugs had little or no effect. At the doses studied, prazosin and phenoxybenzamine, adrenoceptor antagonists with alpha 1-blocking activity, did not prevent vomiting induced by xylazine. Beta-Adrenoceptor (propranolol), dopamine receptor (domperidone and chlorpromazine), a cholinoceptor (atropine), an opiate receptor (naloxone), and a histamine-receptor (diphenhydramine) antagonists, at the doses studied, did not prevent xylazine-induced vomiting. Pretreatment with 6-hydroxydopamine failed to prevent xylazine-induced vomiting. These results indicated that xylazine-induced vomiting in cats is mediated by alpha 2-adrenoceptors and suggested that the alpha 2-adrenoceptors mediating the vomiting attributable to xylazine may not be presynaptic alpha 2-receptors located on noradrenergic nerve terminals.  相似文献

A controlled trial was conducted to assess suitability of combinations of medetomidine and ketamine for the ovariectomy of cats, to investigate the possible side effects, and to compare medetomidine/ketamine with a combination of xylazine and ketamine. Three hundred and thirty-seven cats were submitted to surgery; 100 were anaesthetised with 80 micrograms/kg medetomidine and 5 mg/kg ketamine, 137 with 80 micrograms/kg medetomidine and 7.5 mg/kg ketamine, and 100 were anaesthetised with 1 mg/kg xylazine and 10 mg/kg ketamine. The combinations were injected intramuscularly in the same syringe. The anaesthesia provided by the medetomidine/ketamine combinations was characterised by good muscle relaxation, good analgesia and minimal side effects. The only difference between the two doses of ketamine was the length of the period of anaesthesia. The advantages of the medetomidine/ketamine combination in comparison with xylazine/ketamine were the need for a lower dose of ketamine, a longer duration of action and better analgesia. Similar side effects were observed with both medetomidine/ketamine and xylazine/ketamine combinations.  相似文献

Left ventricular echocardiographic parameters in cats were recorded, measured and analyzed to study the effects of a combination of xylazine and sodium pentobarbital on left ventricular function. The depressant effects of a combination of xylazine and sodium pentobarbital on the left ventricular dimension at end diastole, the percent change in minor diameter and the velocity of circumferential fibre shortening were compared to echocardiographic values of unanesthetized cats. No change in heart rate was noted. Stroke volume and cardiac output were depressed.  相似文献

Xylazine is an effective sedative analgesic that induces vomiting in the cat. A consistently effective intramuscular emetic dose of xylazine was established in normal cats in this laboratory. Animals in which the area postrema of the medulla oblongata had been chronically destroyed did not exhibit emesis in response to the standard test dose of xylazine but continued to show sedation. By contrast, sham-operated cats responded normally. Refractoriness to deslanoside, a known specific emetic drug, was used as functional proof for successful ablation of area postrema, and the lesions were also validated histologically. We conclude that xylazine exerts its emetic action on the chemoreceptor trigger zone of the area postrema. It is suggested that this action may be mediated by an opiate type of molecular receptors.  相似文献

Antagonizing effects of various doses of yohimbine on a xylazine depression of the cerebroneural system (CNS) were studied in cats. Administration of various doses of yohimbine was investigated with respect to its antagonizing effects on various doses of xylazine. The time of CNS depression induced by commonly recommended doses of xylazine (2-4 mg/kg live weight) was shortened statistically significantly by intramuscular injections of yohimbine at a dose of 3 mg per kg live weight. After this yohimbine dose, the animals recovered consciousness already 10-15 minutes from application, with the complete resumption of reflexes. Preventive administration of the same dose of yohimbine hindered reliably the full development of CNS depression after the two xylazine doses (2 and 4 mg/kg live weight).  相似文献

The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the effects of medetomidine and xylazine on some neurohormonal and metabolic variables in healthy cats. Five cats were used repeatedly in each of 11 groups, which were injected intramuscularly with physiological saline solution (control), 20, 40, 80, 160, and 320 microg/kg of medetomidine, and 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 8 mg/kg of xylazine. Blood samples were taken over 24 h from the jugular vein for determination of plasma glucose, insulin, cortisol, epinephrine, norepinephrine, glucagon, and nonesterified fatty acid concentrations. Both medetomidine and xylazine induced remarkable hyperglycemia that was dose-dependent except for the response to medetomidine from 0 to 3 h. Both agents suppressed epinephrine and norepinephrine release but not in a dose-dependent manner at the tested dosages. Both agents inhibited insulin release and lipolysis, with similar potency, and tended to suppress cortisol release. The glucagon levels did not change significantly in any of the groups. These results suggest that the effects of medetomidine and xylazine on glucose metabolism and catecholamine release may not be due only to the actions mediated by alpha2-adrenoceptors.  相似文献

The effects of thiopental, ketamine, diazepam, xylazine and nitrous oxide, and combinations of thiopental-nitrous oxide and ketamine-nitrous oxide on electroencephalographic (EEG) spike activity and convulsive behaviors in atropinized cats at surgical depth of enflurane anesthesia were assessed quantitatively for 60 minutes during spontaneous ventilation. Mean inspired enflurane concentrations (MIEC) were reduced 16% to 29% by pretreatment with thiopental, ketamine, diazepam, and xylazine, and were reduced 19% by 66% nitrous oxide. The MIEC of cats anesthetized with thiopental-nitrous oxide-enflurane and ketamine-nitrous oxide-enflurane were 35% to 38% lower than that with nitrous oxide-enflurane. Pretreatment with thiopental, ketamine, diazepam, and xylazine did not reduce the EEG spike frequency during anesthesia but did markedly reduce the spike amplitude. The addition of 66% nitrous oxide did not alter the spike frequency during anesthesia but tended to reduce the spike amplitude. Combinations of thiopental-nitrous oxide and ketamine-nitrous oxide almost abolished the spike activity. The addition of 66% nitrous oxide prevented convulsive responses elicited by photic and auditory stimulation during enflurane anesthesia. Treatment with thiopental, ketamine, diazepam and xylazine, and combinations of thiopental-nitrous oxide and ketamine-nitrous oxide, completely prevented convulsive responses during enflurane anesthesia.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To compare efficacy of 3 regimens of orally administered sedatives and determine physiologic effects of 1 of these regimens in healthy cats. DESIGN: Prospective randomized study. ANIMALS: 34 cats. PROCEDURE: Cats were assigned to 1 of 3 groups that were treated by oral administration of detomidine and ketamine, xylazine and ketamine, or medetomidine and ketamine. Cats were monitored for degree of sedation at 5-minute intervals for 60 minutes. Physiologic effects in cats treated with detomidine and ketamine were measured at 5-minute intervals for 30 minutes and compared with effects in cats treated i.m. with detomidine and ketamine or xylazine and ketamine. RESULTS: All cats treated orally with detomidine and ketamine became laterally recumbent; sedation was more variable in the other 2 groups treated orally. Vomiting and excessive salivation were the only adverse effects. Bradycardia (heart rate < 145 beats/min) was detected at each evaluation time in cats treated orally with detomidine and ketamine and in all cats treated i.m. Minimal differences among groups were detected for heart and respiratory rates, rectal temperature, and hemoglobin oxygen saturation. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Oral administration of detomidine and ketamine is an effective method of sedating healthy cats and induces minimal physiologic effects that are similar to those resulting from i.m. administration of sedatives.  相似文献

Twenty-four healthy adult cats were anesthetized with isoflurane in oxygen. Six cats (group 1) served as controls; onychectomy of the forefeet was performed in the other three groups. Saline was administered intravenously to group 1, and morphine, xylazine, and salicylate were administered to groups 2, 3, and 4, respectively. Mixed venous blood samples were drawn for catecholamine analysis before induction of anesthesia, after recovery from anesthesia, and 30 minutes and 60 minutes after administration of the analgesic agent. Plasma catecholamine concentrations were determined by high performance liquid chromatography. Isoflurane anesthesia alone induced a transient increase in epinephrine concentration. Norepinephrine and epinephrine concentrations increased significantly after onychectomy. Morphine and xylazine significantly decreased postoperative norepinephrine and epinephrine concentrations; salicylate did not.  相似文献
