Lidocaine dose‐dependently decreases the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of isoflurane in cats. The purpose of this study was to determine the hemodynamic effects of six lidocaine plasma concentrations in isoflurane anesthetized cats. Six cats were studied. After instrumentation, end‐tidal isoflurane concentration was set at 1.25 times the individual minimum alveolar concentration (MAC), which was determined in a previous study. Lidocaine was administered intravenously to target pseudo‐steady state plasma concentrations of 0, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 μg ml–1, and isoflurane concentration was reduced to an equipotent concentration, determined in a previous study. Cardiovascular variables; blood gases; PCV; total protein and lactate concentrations; and lidocaine and monoethylglycinexylidide concentrations were measured at each lidocaine target concentration, before and during noxious stimulation. Derived variables were calculated. Data were analyzed using a repeated measures anova , followed by a Tukey test for pairwise comparisons where appropriate. One cat was excluded from analysis because the study was aborted at 7 μg ml–1 due to severe cardiorespiratory depression. Heart rate, cardiac index, stroke index, right ventricular stroke work index, total protein concentration, mixed‐venous PO2 and hemoglobin oxygen saturation, arterial and mixed‐venous bicarbonate concentrations, and oxygen delivery were significantly lower during lidocaine administration than when no lidocaine was administered. Mean arterial pressure, central venous pressure, pulmonary artery pressure, systemic and pulmonary vascular resistance indices, PCV, arterial and mixed‐venous hemoglobin concentrations, lactate concentration, arterial oxygen concentration, and oxygen extraction ratio were significantly higher during administration of lidocaine than when no lidocaine was administered. Most changes were significant at lidocaine target plasma concentrations of 7 μg ml–1 and above. Noxious stimulation did not significantly affect most variables. Despite significantly decreasing in inhalant requirements, when combined with isoflurane, lidocaine produces greater cardiovascular depression than an equipotent dose of isoflurane alone. The use of lidocaine to reduce isoflurane requirements is not recommended in cats.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE:To determine the hemodynamic effects of lidocaine (administered IV to achieve 6 plasma concentrations) in isoflurane-anesthetized cats. ANIMALS: 6 cats. PROCEDURE: Cats were anesthetized with isoflurane in oxygen (end-tidal isoflurane concentration set at 1.25 times the predetermined individual minimum alveolar concentration). Lidocaine was administered IV to each cat to achieve target pseudo-steady-state plasma concentrations of 0, 3, 5, 7 9, and 11 microg/mL, and isoflurane concentration was reduced to an equipotent concentration. At each plasma lidocaine concentration, cardiovascular and blood gas variables; PCV; and plasma total protein, lactate, lidocaine, and monoethylglycinexylidide concentrations were measured in cats before and during noxious stimulation. Derived variables were calculated. RESULTS: n isoflurane-anesthetized cats, heart rate, cardiac index, stroke index, right ventricular stroke work index, plasma total protein concentration, mixed-venous PO2 and hemoglobin oxygen saturation, arterial and mixed-venous bicarbonate concentrations, and oxygen delivery were significantly lower during lidocaine administration, compared with values determined without lidocaine administration. Mean arterial pressure, central venous pressure, pulmonary artery pressure, systemic and pulmonary vascular resistance indices, PCV, arterial and mixed-venous hemoglobin concentrations, plasma lactate concentration, arterial oxygen concentration, and oxygen extraction ratio were significantly higher during administration of lidocaine, compared with values determined without lidocaine administration. Noxious stimulation did not significantly affect most variables. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: In isoflurane-anesthetized cats, although IV administration of lidocaine significantly decreased inhalant requirements, it appeared to be associated with greater cardiovascular depression than an equipotent dose of isoflurane alone. Administration of lidocaine to reduce isoflurane requirements is not recommended in cats.  相似文献

Water intake and wastage at nipple drinkers by growing-finishing pigs   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
Three experiments were conducted to assess water intake, water wastage, and a means to decrease water wastage by growing-finishing pigs from nipple drinkers. In Exp. 1, 48 pigs were studied during two periods (average BW = 53 and 72 kg for Period 1 and 2, respectively). Water disappearance and wastage were determined for 4 d, while nipple drinkers were set at 50 mm above the shoulder height of the smallest pig in the pen (recommended heights), with flow rates at 700 mL/min during Period 1, and 1,000 mL/min during Period 2. Water intake rate was assessed at two nipple flow rates, approximately 650 and 1,300 mL/min during the Period 1, and 1,000 and 2,000 mL/min during the Period 2. The average water intake was 4.01 and 5.38 +/- 0.19 L.pig(-1).d(-1) during Periods 1 and 2, respectively (P < 0.01). Water wastage as a percentage of water disappearance was similar between the two periods (25.8 and 27.0 +/- 1.9% for Periods 1 and 2, respectively). Water intake rate was 467 and 795 mL/min (+/-34.2; P < 0.01) during Period 1, and 722 and 1,422 mL/min (+/-80.0; P < 0.01) during Period 2, at the lower and higher flow rates, respectively. In Exp. 2, 32 pigs were used in a 2 x 2 factorial design to determine effects of nipple heights (recommended vs. unadjusted = 330 mm) and flow rates (500 vs. 1,000 mL/min) on water intake and wastage. Water wastage was increased (P < 0.01) on the unadjusted vs. recommended nipple height, and the higher flow rate also resulted in greater wastage (P = 0.03) compared with the lower rate. In Exp. 3, water disappearance and manure output in 16 pens of 18 pigs per pen were monitored for 12 wk (average initial BW = 32 kg) using four drinker treatments (bowl drinker, nipple drinker at recommended heights, an unadjusted nipple set at 480 mm, and high nipple drinker height of 730 mm with a step underneath). For pigs on the high nipple drinker, the average water disappearance and manure output did not differ from those of the pigs on the recommended nipple heights and bowl drinker, but these measurements were 15 and 12% lower, respectively, than for the pigs on the low nipple drinker. The results indicate that growing-finishing pigs can maintain adequate water intake from a variety of drinker types and management. Water wastage can be controlled through drinker management.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To measure concentrations of lidocaine serum after application of two 5% patches on horses. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective experimental trial ANIMALS: Six client-owned, systemically healthy horses. METHODS: The hair was clipped on the medial aspect above the carpus of both fore limbs and 2 patches of 5% lidocaine were applied within 30 minutes of jugular catheter placement and the area was then bandaged. Venous blood was drawn from a jugular vein catheter that was inserted using lidocaine as a local block. Samples were drawn immediately before and at 2, 4, 6, 8, and 12 hours after patch application. The presence of lidocaine in serum was determined using an ELISA test. RESULTS: Lidocaine was detected in the serum of three horses at 0 hours immediately following the local block for catheter placement. Lidocaine was not detected at any other time from 2 to 12 hours. There was mild erythema at the site of patch placement at 12 hours in one horse but this resolved within 1 hour of patch removal. There were no other apparent adverse effects from the patches on any other horse. CONCLUSION: Five percent lidocaine patches applied proximally to the carpus did not result in detectable systemic concentrations of lidocaine. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Any analgesic effects that might be produced by application of 5% lidocaine patches on horses will not be due to systemic absorption of the drug.  相似文献

The elimination kinetics and the formation of the monoethylglycinexylidide (MEGX), a major metabolite of lidocaine, were studied in camels deprived of water for 14 days. The study was conducted on four camels in a crossover design. Lidocaine was administered intravenously at a dose of 1 mg/kg to adult female camels when water was given ad libitum (stage 1) and to the same camels after 14 days of dehydration. Blood samples were taken up to 6 h after dosing. Serum lidocaine and MEGX levels were analysed by polarization fluorescence immunoassay. The elimination profiles of lidocaine and the formation of the metabolite MEGX in the two phases of the study were essentially identical. No difference in any pharmacokinetic parameter was noticed between normally hydrated and water-deprived camels. It is thus concluded that dehydration does not affect the cytochrome P450 isozymes involved in degradation of lidocaine to MEGX nor does it affect the hepatic blood flow, which is a major determinant in the clearance of lidocaine. The very low clearance of lidocaine in the camel in comparison with other ruminant or monogastric mammals may be associated with the camel's ability to survive drought in the desert.  相似文献

Pharmacokinetics of lidocaine and its active metabolites in dogs   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
The pharmacokinetics of lidocaine in dogs were investigated following the intravenous and intramuscular administration of single doses of lidocaine hydrochloride. The mean elimination rate constant and the mean specific clearance determined for the intravenous portion of the study were 0.786 h-1 and 2.40 1/kg/h, respectively. Following intramuscular administration the mean absorption rate constant was 7.74 h-1. Absorption was nearly complete as the percentage of an intramuscular dose absorbed averaged 91.9%. Concentrations of two N-deethylated metabolites, determined following the administration of lidocaine suggest that monoethylglycinexylidide is eliminated rapidly while glycinexylidide is more slowly eliminated. The relative contribution of these metabolites to the therapeutic and toxic effects of lidocaine and the potential for glycinexylidide accumulation during lidocaine administration remain to be investigated.  相似文献

Arterial and/or central venous plasma concentrations of lidocaine were determined in 12 nonmedicated adult horses (422 +/- 59 kg of body weight, mean +/- SD) after injecting a 1% lidocaine HCl solution into the cervicothoracic ganglion (CTG). A mean dosage of 2.9 +/- 0.5 mg of lidocaine/kg of body weight was used to induce unilateral CTG blockade in 8 horses and 4.8 +/- 0.8 mg was used to induce bilateral CTG blockade in 4 horses. Blood samples were collected before and at 5, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, and 120 minutes after injection. The plasma lidocaine concentrations were determined by use of gas chromatography (sensitivity less than 0.01 microgram/ml). Cervicothoracic sympathetic blockade was characterized by Horner's syndrome and by profuse sweating over the face, neck, and thoracic limbs. Mean maximal venous concentrations of lidocaine were 0.86 +/- 0.33 microgram/ml at 26.3 +/- 6.9 minutes after unilateral CTG blockade, and 1.14 +/- 0.25 micrograms/ml at 31.2 +/- 18.9 minutes after bilateral CTG blockade. The mean venous and arterial concentrations of lidocaine were not significantly different at 45 and 120 minutes after injection. Venous concentrations of lidocaine were consistently higher than were concentrations in simultaneously collected arterial blood samples in 2 horses in which the right CTG and brachial plexus were temporarily anesthetized after repeated administration of 100 ml of lidocaine into the right CTG.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Fecal material collected from an immunologically deficient man with persistent cryptosporidia infection was stored in potassium dichromate for two weeks and then fed (inoculated) to newborn pigs. The six inoculated newborn pigs shed the organism in their feces starting four to five days afer inoculation and continuing for as long as 22 days after inoculation. Pigs which were killed and necropsied while shedding had cryptosporidia infection of ileum, cecum, and colon. Infected pigs had atrophied ileal villi and flattened irregular cecal and colonic epithelium. Uninoculated littermate controls remained free to the infection and had histologically normal intestinal tracts at necropsy. Treatment of three of the six inoculated pigs with the ornithine decarboxylase inhibitor, DL-alpha-difluoromethylornithine, orally for ten days had no apparent effect on the infection.  相似文献

Transdermal absorption of lidocaine was determined by measuring plasma lidocaine concentrations following skin application of 5% lidocaine patches. Two lidocaine patches were placed on the ventral abdominal midline of seven dogs for 72 hours. Lidocaine was detectable in plasma 12 hours after patch application, and it reached steady-state concentrations between 24 and 48 hours. Plasma lidocaine levels decreased dramatically at 60 hours post-application. Low plasma lidocaine concentrations remained for 6 hours after patch removal. No clinically significant side effects were noted.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effects of IV administration of lidocaine on thermal antinociception in conscious cats. ANIMALS: 6 cats. PROCEDURE: 2 experiments were performed in each cat (interval of at least 2 months). In experiment 1, lidocaine pharmacokinetics were determined for each conscious cat following IV administration of a bolus of lidocaine (2 mg/kg). In experiment 2, data from experiment 1 were used to calculate appropriate doses of lidocaine that would achieve predetermined plasma lidocaine concentrations in the cats; lidocaine (or an equivalent volume of saline [0.9% NaCl] solution as the control treatment) was administered IV to target pseudo-steady-state plasma concentrations of 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, and 8 microg/mL. Skin temperature and thermal threshold were determined at the start of the experiment (baseline) and at each concentration. Samples of venous blood were obtained at each target concentration for plasma lidocaine concentration determination. RESULTS: In experiment 2, actual plasma lidocaine concentrations were 0.00 +/- 0.00 microg/mL, 0.25 +/- 0.18 microg/mL, 0.57 +/- 0.20 microg/mL, 1.39 +/- 0.13 microg/mL, 2.33 +/- 0.45 microg/mL, and 4.32 +/- 0.66 microg/mL for target plasma concentrations of 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, and 8 microg/mL, respectively. Compared with baseline values, no significant change in skin temperature or thermal threshold was detected at any lidocaine plasma concentration (or saline solution equivalent). Skin temperature or thermal threshold values did not differ between lidocaine or control treatments. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Results indicated that these moderate plasma concentrations of lidocaine did not affect thermal antinociception in cats.  相似文献

REASONS FOR PERFORMING STUDY: Continuous-rate infusions (CRI) of lidocaine are often used for prolonged duration but, to date, only limited time/concentration relationships administered as a short term (24 h) CRI have been reported. OBJECTIVE: To determine the time/concentration profile of lidocaine and its active metabolites glycinexylidide (GX) and monoethylglycinexylidide (MEGX) during a 96 h lidocaine infusion. METHODS: Lidocaine was administered to 8 mature healthy horses as a continuous rate infusion (0.05 mg/kg bwt/min) for 96 h. Blood concentrations of lidocaine, GX and MEGX were determined using high performance liquid chromatography during and after discontinuation of the infusion. RESULTS: Serum lidocaine concentrations reached steady state by 3 h and did not accumulate thereafter. Concentrations were above the target therapeutic concentration (980 ng/ml) only at 6 and 48 h, and did not reach the range described as potentially causing toxicity (>1850 ng/ml) at any time. MEGX did not accumulate over time, while the GX accumulated significantly up to 48 h and then remained constant. The serum concentrations of lidocaine, MEGX and GX were below the limit of detection within 24 h of discontinuation of the infusion. None of the horses developed any signs of lidocaine toxicity during the study. CONCLUSIONS: The metabolism of lidocaine was not significantly impaired by prolonged infusion and no adverse effects were observed. Prolonged infusions appear to be safe in normal horses but the accumulation of GX, a potentially toxic active metabolite, is cause for concern.  相似文献

To determine cardiopulmonary and analgesic effects of lidocaine, alfentanil, and xylazine in pigs anesthetized with isoflurane, 18 healthy Landrace-Large White pigs were studied (six for each drug). General anesthesia was induced with isoflurane in O2 and maintained with 1% to 1.2% end-tidal ISO, ensuring presence of a pain response before epidural drug administration. Heart rate (HR), arterial blood pressures (AP), cardiac output (CO), pulmonary arterial pressure, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP), central venous pressure, respiratory rate (RR), tidal volume (TV), minute volume (MV), arterial blood gas data, core temperature (CT), and analgesic effects (by pricking the lumbar area and the abdominal wall) were determined at various times (2, 5, 15, 30, 45, 60, and 90 minutes) after epidural administration of lidocaine (5 μg/kg), alfentanil (5 μg/kg), or xylazine (0.2 mg/kg), all diluted in NaCl 0.9% to 0.5 mL/kg. Statistical analysis included two-way analysis of variance for repeated measures and the least significant difference test for determining differences among means. A probability level of P <.05 was used. The following results were statistically significant decreases in systolic AP, HR, TV, RR, MV, CT, pH, PaO2, and TCO2 and increases in PCWP, PaCO2, and HCO3 after LID. After ALF, only CT and HCO3 decreased. Core temperature and TV decreased after XYL. Lidocaine provided 45 to 60 minutes of analgesia. Alfentanil had no analgesic effects, and xylazine provided 90 minutes of analgesia. The authors conclude that xylazine, when injected epidurally, provides suitable analgesia in isoflurane-anesthetized pigs.  相似文献

The objectives of the two studies were to determine whether the guanidination and isotope dilution methods applied both by labeling the animal (15N-infusion method) and by diet (15N-dilution method) give similar estimates of ileal endogenous lysine (EL) and endogenous nitrogen (EN) flows, respectively, to that of the enzyme-hydrolyzed casein (EHC) method in the growing pig and to determine whether the guandination and 15N-dilution methods give similar estimates of EL and EN flows, respectively, to that of the EHC method in the rat. For the first study, the test diet contained guanidinated and enzymatically hydrolyzed casein (molecular weight < 5,000 Da), which was also labeled with 15N. Rats (n = 30; mean BW 178 g) and pigs (n = 6; mean BW 19.2 kg) received a preliminary EHC-based diet for 7 d. The test diet was then given to the rats and pigs on d 8. Digesta were sampled from the terminal 20 cm of ileum of killed animals. The EL flows determined using the guanidination method were lower than those determined using the EHC method (means of 298 vs. 382, and 214 vs. 287 microg/g of DMI, in the rat and pig, respectively; P < 0.05 for the rat and P < 0.01 for the pig). The EN flows determined with the 15N-dilution method were lower than those determined using the EHC method (means of 1,034 vs. 1,942 and 1,011 vs. 1,543 microg/g of DMI, in the rat and pig, respectively, P < 0.001 for the rat and P < 0.05 for the pig). In the second study, pigs (n = 6; mean BW 27 kg) were continuously infused via the jugular vein with 15N-leucine for 11 d. The pigs received an EHC-based diet (molecular weight < 5,000 Da) during this 11-d period, after which digesta were sampled at the terminal ileum under anesthesia. The EN flow determined using the 15N-infusion method (mean of 1,971 microg/g DMI) was higher (P < 0.01) than that determined using the EHC method (mean of 1,233 microg/g DMI). The guanidination method gave a lower estimate of EL flow than did the EHC method in both the pig and rat. The 15N-dilution method also gave a lower estimate of EN flow than the EHC method in the pig and rat, and the 15N-infusion method gave a higher estimate of EN flow than the EHC method in the pig.  相似文献

The double-isotope single-injection method to estimate renal function which utilizes the radiolabeled chemicals [131I]sodium iodohippurate and [125I]sodium iothalamate was evaluated in swine. A total of 46 normal, cross-bred swine were used to determine the applicability of this method for measuring the glomerular filtration rate and effective renal plasma flow. The mean glomerular filtration rate in pigs was determined to be 5.33 +/- 0.82 ml/kg of body weight/minute for [125I]sodium iothalamate with a biological half-life (T 1/2) of 39.18 +/- 7.44 minutes. The mean effective renal plasma flow was determined to be 19.25 +/- 3.12 ml/kg of body weight/minute for [313I]sodium iodohippurate, with a T 1/2 of 18.45 +/- 1.74 minutes. These values are more closely related to the glomerular filtration and effective renal plasma flow values reported for dogs and cats than they are to values reported for man. The method is rapid and reliable; results are available 6 to 8 hours after the experiment. This method is advantageous when information about renal function variables is a prerequisite to pharmacokinetic or toxicologic studies.  相似文献

Lidocaine has been reported to decrease the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of inhalation anesthetics in several species and has been used clinically to reduce the requirements for other anesthetic drugs. This study examined the effects of intravenous lidocaine on isoflurane MAC in cats. Six cats were studied. In experiment 1, the MAC of isoflurane was determined. An intravenous bolus of lidocaine 2 mg kg–1 was then administrated and venous plasma lidocaine concentrations measured to determine pharmacokinetic values. In experiment 2, lidocaine was administered to achieve target plasma concentrations between 1 and 11 μg mL–1 and the MAC of isoflurane was determined in triplicate at each lidocaine plasma concentration, using the tail‐clamp method. End‐tidal isoflurane concentration was determined using a calibrated infrared analyzer. Systolic blood pressure (Doppler), SpO2 and end‐tidal PCO2 (calibrated Raman spectrometer) were measured prior to each MAC determination. Body temperature was maintained between 38.5 and 39.5 °C by supplying external heat as needed. MAC values at the different lidocaine plasma concentrations were analyzed by a repeated measures ANOVA , using the Huynh–Feldt correction. The MAC of isoflurane in these cats was 2.21 ± 0.17. For the target concentrations of 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 μg mL–1, the actual lidocaine plasma concentrations was 1.06 ± 0.12, 2.83 ±0.39, 4.93 ± 0.64, 6.86 ± 0.97, 8.86 ± 2.10, and 9.84 ± 1.34 μg mL–1, respectively. At these target concentrations, the MAC of isoflurane was 2.14 ± 0.14, 1.88 ± 0.18, 1.66 ± 0.16, 1.47 ±0.13, 1.33 ± 0.23, and 1.06 ± 0.19%, respectively. Lidocaine, at target plasma concentrations of 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 μg mL–1, linearly decreased isoflurane MAC by –6 to 6, 7 to 28, 19 to 35, 28 to 45, 29 to 53, and 44 to 59%, respectively. Lidocaine significantly dose‐dependently and linearly decreases the requirements for isoflurane in cats. No ceiling effect was observed within the range of plasma concentrations studied.  相似文献

The effect of age on susceptibility of young pigs to streptococcic lymphadenitis was investigated. Twenty-nine cesarean-derived, colostrum-deprived pigs were allotted to 7 groups exposed to type IV group E Streptococcus (GES) at 5, 14, 28, 35, 56, 70, and 84 days of age. Four cesarean-derived, colostrum-deprived pigs were maintained as nonexposed controls. Six naturally farrowed, susceptible controls were exposed to GES at 63 to 84 days of age. All exposed pigs were killed and necropsied 28 days after exposure. Lesions of streptococcic lymphadenitis were not observed in pigs exposed at 5 or 14 days of age, except for 1 microabscess in a mandibular lymph node in a pig exposed at 14 days, but GES was recovered from 11% of lymph nodes examined from pigs of those age groups. Lesions and GES-positive lymph nodes were frequent in cesarean-derived, colostrum-deprived pigs exposed at 28 days and older and in susceptible controls. Serologic response to exposure, as determined by microtitration agglutination test and bactericidal test, was observed only in pigs exposed at 14 days and older. The absence of abscess development in pigs exposed at 5 or 14 days of age was not caused by antibody or failure of infecting organisms to reach the target organs.  相似文献

Two trials were conducted to evaluate the effects of protein source (48% CP soybean meal or casein) and carbohydrate source (25% dextrose or 25% lactose) on digestibility and digesta flow rate in early-weaned pigs. Diets contained 10% crude soybean oil and were formulated to contain 3.5 g lysine, 2.3 g Ca and 2.0 g P per 1,000 kcal DE of diet. In Trial 1, nutrient digestibility was greater for older than for younger pigs. Apparent digestibilities for energy, DM, CP and fat were lower (P less than .08) for younger and older pigs fed soybean meal rather than casein. Digestibility of soluble carbohydrates was less (P less than .02) for younger pigs fed soybean meal rather than casein as a protein source. Fat digestibility was lower (P less than .05) in younger pigs fed dextrose than in pigs fed lactose. A protein X carbohydrate source interaction (P less than .01) existed for fat digestibility by older pigs. In Trial 2, pigs were euthanatized, and digestibilities anterior to the ileum and the colon (pre-ileal and pre-cecal) were determined. At the ileum, fat digestibility was lower (P less than .05) for pigs fed soybean meal, whereas CP digestibility was lower (P less than .05) for pigs fed either soybean meal or dextrose. A protein X carbohydrate interaction was observed for ileal digestibilities of DM (P less than .06) and total carbohydrates (P less than .03) with lowest values obtained for the soybean meal plus dextrose diet. For casein diets, digestibility values were similar between the two carbohydrate sources.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

The objective of this study was to examine the efficacy of a caudal epidural anaesthesia using lidocaine or xylazine in a high volume for analgesia of the flank, navel and hamstring tendon. Fourteen calves weighing 57.7 +/- 5.1 kg and 37.9 +/- 9.3 (mean +/- SEM) days old were randomly divided into two groups of seven calves each. Calves belonging to the lidocaine group were given a 2% lidocaine solution in the sacrococcygeal vertebral space epidurally at a volume of 0.4 ml/kg (8 mg/kg) body weight (BW). Animals of the xylazine group were administered an epidural anaesthesia with xylazine at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg BW, diluted with a 0.9% saline solution to a corresponding final volume of 0.4 ml/kg BW. Heart rate and respiratory rate were measured and the degree and duration of analgesia was determined by the response to a skin prick with a hypodermic needle over a period of 350 min after epidural injection. After epidural anaesthesia with lidocaine the mean heart rate increased during dorsal recumbency, whereas after xylazine both heart rate and respiratory rate decreased significantly (P < 0.05). The epidural injection of xylazine compared with lidocaine caused longer (P < 0.05) analgesia at the hamstring tendon (mean +/- SEM, 120.7 +/- 29.7 min versus 93.6 +/- 3.5 min) and at the flank (100.7 +/- 24.4 min versus 78.3 +/- 11.1 min). There were no differences in the intensity of analgesia between groups. After xylazine application analgesia at the navel was achieved for 95.0 +/- 14.1 min whereas after lidocaine injection sufficient analgesia at the navel was found in just two of seven calves for 55 and 95 min respectively. Based on above experiences, a second study was performed, in which a combination of xylazine and local anaesthetics was used and the injection volume was increased to prove the efficacy of caudal epidural anaesthesia in 15 calves (26.3 +/- 26.7 days; 57.1 +/- 19.5 kg) submitted to the clinic for regular umbilical surgery. In these cases the xylazine (0.1 mg/kg BW) was diluted with 2% lidocaine (n = 7) or 2% procaine (n = 8) to a corresponding final volume of 0.5-0.6 ml/kg BW. In all cases complete anaesthesia of the surgical area was achieved and no adverse effects were observed. Overall the high volume caudal epidural anaesthesia represents an effective, safe, cheap and easy to perform alternative for anaesthesia of the navel, flank and hamstring tendon in calves without major side effects.  相似文献

In two experiments, 18 pigs were given feed contaminated with aflatoxin which had been prepared by the extraction of the cultures of toxinogenic strains of the fungus Aspergillus flavus. After the ingestion of aflatoxin (AFB1) at a dose of 5.4 to 10.5 mg per kg of live weight, the pigs showed symptoms of peracute aflatoxicosis and died within 12--20 hours. After ingestion of AFB1 at a dose of 1.4 or 3.1 mg per kg live weight, the pigs suffered from acute aflatoxicosis and died within 3 to 26 days from the administration of the contaminated feed. In the cases of these experimental aflatoxicoses, clinical symptoms, haematological and biochemical changes in the blood and the patho-anatomical and histological findings in the swine organism were described.  相似文献
