ObjectiveTo determine the haemodynamic effects of halothane and isoflurane with spontaneous and controlled ventilation in dorsally recumbent horses undergoing elective surgery.Study designProspective randomized clinical trial.AnimalsTwenty-five adult horses, body mass 487 kg (range: 267–690).MethodsHorses undergoing elective surgery in dorsal recumbency were randomly assigned to one of four treatment groups, isoflurane (I) or halothane (H) anaesthesia, each with spontaneous (SB) or controlled ventilation (IPPV). Indices of cardiac function and femoral arterial blood flow (ABF) and resistance were measured using transoesophageal and transcutaneous Doppler echocardiography, respectively. Arterial blood pressure was measured directly.ResultsFour horses assigned to receive isoflurane and spontaneous ventilation (SBI) required IPPV, leaving only three groups for analysis: SBH, IPPVH and IPPVI. Two horses were excluded from the halothane groups because dobutamine was infused to maintain arterial blood pressure. Cardiac index (CI) was significantly greater, and pre-ejection period (PEP) shorter, during isoflurane compared with halothane anaesthesia with both spontaneous (p = 0.04, p = 0.0006, respectively) or controlled ventilation (p = 0.04, p = 0.008, respectively). There was an association between CI and PaCO₂ (p = 0.04) such that CI increased by 0.45 L minute⁻¹m⁻² for every kPa increase in PaCO₂. Femoral ABF was only significantly higher during isoflurane compared with halothane anaesthesia during IPPV (p = 0.0006). There was a significant temporal decrease in CI, but not femoral arterial flow.ConclusionThe previously reported superior cardiovascular function during isoflurane compared with halothane anaesthesia was maintained in horses undergoing surgery. However, in these clinical subjects, a progressive decrease in CI, which was independent of ventilatory mode, was observed with both anaesthetic agents.Clinical relevanceCardiovascular function may deteriorate progressively in horses anaesthetized for brief (<2 hours) surgical procedures in dorsal recumbency. Although cardiovascular function is superior with isoflurane in dorsally recumbent horses, the need for IPPV may be greater.  相似文献   

Antinociceptive, sedative and cardiopulmonary effects of subarachnoid and epidural xylazine-lidocaine in xylazine-sedated calves

ObjectiveTo evaluate the antinociceptive, sedative and cardiopulmonary effects of subarachnoid and epidural administration of xylazine-lidocaine in xylazine-sedated calves.Study designProspective, crossover study.AnimalsSix clinically healthy Holstein calves.MaterialsThe calves were allocated randomly to receive two treatments, subarachnoid or epidural xylazine (0.025 mg kg^?1)–lidocaine (0.1 mg kg^?1) diluted to a total volume of 5 mL with physiological saline. Prior to either epidural or subarachnoid injection, sedation was induced in all calves by intravenous administration of 0.1 mg kg^?1 xylazine. The quality and duration of antinociception and sedation were monitored. Areas of the cranial abdomen, umbilicus, and caudal abdomen were evaluated for antinociception using pinprick tests with a scoring system of 0–3 (0, none; 1, mild; 2, moderate; 3, complete). Sedation was assessed by using a 4-point scale (0, none; 1, mild; 2, moderate; 3, deep). The following cardiopulmonary variables were monitored: heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (f_R), mean arterial pressure (MAP), blood pH, arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO₂), partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO₂), bicarbonate (HCO₃), base excess (BE), and oxygen saturation (SaO₂).ResultsXylazine sedation and subarachnoid xylazine-lidocaine resulted in significantly higher nociceptive block than the epidural technique. Moreover, subarachnoid xylazine-lidocaine induced a significantly longer duration of complete antinociception (median [IQR]) in the cranial abdomen (15.0 [15.0–30.0] versus 7.5 [1.3–10.0] minutes; p < 0.05) and umbilicus (45.0 [32.5–57.5] versus 10.0 [6.3–17.5] minutes; p < 0.05) compared with epidural xylazine-lidocaine. There was moderate sedation with both techniques. In both treatments, blood pH, MAP and PaO₂ decreased significantly, and PaCO₂ increased significantly during anaesthesia. No change was evident in HR, f_R, HCO_3, BE, or SaO₂.Conclusion and clinical relevanceThe subarachnoid injection provided better quality and longer duration of antinociception than epidural administration of the same doses of xylazine-lidocaine in xylazine-sedated calves, while cardiopulmonary depressant effects were observed with both regimens.  相似文献   

Evaluation of chemical restraint,isoflurane anesthesia and methadone or tramadol as preventive analgesia in spotted pacas (Cuniculus paca) subjected to laparoscopy

ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and cardiopulmonary effects of ketamine–midazolam for chemical restraint, isoflurane anesthesia and tramadol or methadone as preventive analgesia in spotted pacas subjected to laparoscopy.Study designProspective placebo-controlled blinded trial.AnimalsA total of eight captive female Cuniculus paca weighing 9.3 ± 0.9 kg.MethodsAnimals were anesthetized on three occasions with 15 day intervals. Manually restrained animals were administered midazolam (0.5 mg kg^–1) and ketamine (25 mg kg^–1) intramuscularly. Anesthesia was induced and maintained with isoflurane 30 minutes later. Tramadol (5 mg kg^–1), methadone (0.5 mg kg^–1) or saline (0.05 mL kg^–1) were administered intramuscularly 15 minutes prior to laparoscopy. Heart rate (HR), respiratory rate, mean arterial pressure (MAP), peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO₂), end-tidal CO₂ partial pressure (Pe′CO₂), end-tidal concentration of isoflurane (Fe′Iso), pH, PaO₂, PaCO₂, bicarbonate (HCO₃^?), anion gap (AG) and base excess (BE) were monitored after chemical restraint, anesthesia induction and at different laparoscopy stages. Postoperative pain was assessed by visual analog scale (VAS) for 24 hours. Variables were compared using anova or Friedman test (p < 0.05).ResultsChemical restraint was effective in 92% of animals. Isoflurane anesthesia was effective; however, HR, MAP, pH and AG decreased, whereas Pe′CO₂, PaO₂, PaCO₂, HCO₃^? and BE increased. MAP was stable with tramadol and methadone treatments; HR, Fe′Iso and postoperative VAS decreased. VAS was lower for a longer time with methadone treatment; SpO₂ and AG decreased, whereas Pe′CO₂, PaCO₂ and HCO₃^? increased.Conclusions and clinical relevanceKetamine–midazolam provided satisfactory restraint. Isoflurane anesthesia for laparoscopy was effective but resulted in hypotension and respiratory acidosis. Tramadol and methadone reduced isoflurane requirements, provided postoperative analgesia and caused hypercapnia, with methadone causing severe respiratory depression. Thus, the anesthetic protocol is adequate for laparoscopy in Cuniculus paca; however, methadone should be avoided.  相似文献   

Arterial blood gas tensions during recovery in horses anesthetized with apneustic anesthesia ventilation compared with conventional mechanical ventilation     

《Veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia》2023,50(3):238-244

ObjectiveTo compare PaO₂ and PaCO₂ in horses recovering from general anesthesia maintained with either apneustic anesthesia ventilation (AAV) or conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV).Study designRandomized, crossover design.AnimalsA total of 10 healthy adult horses from a university-owned herd.MethodsDorsally recumbent horses were anesthetized with isoflurane in oxygen [inspired oxygen fraction = 0.3 initially, with subsequent titration to maintain PaO₂ ≥ 85 mmHg (11.3 kPa)] and ventilated with AAV or CMV according to predefined criteria [10 mL kg^–1 tidal volume, PaCO₂ 40–45 mmHg (5.3–6.0 kPa) during CMV and < 60 mmHg (8.0 kPa) during AAV]. Horses were weaned from ventilation using a predefined protocol and transferred to a stall for unassisted recovery. Arterial blood samples were collected and analyzed at predefined time points. Tracheal oxygen insufflation at 15 L minute^–1 was provided if PaO₂ < 60 mmHg (8.0 kPa) on any analysis. Time to oxygen insufflation, first movement, sternal recumbency and standing were recorded. Data were analyzed using repeated measures anova, paired t tests and Fisher’s exact test with significance defined as p < 0.05.ResultsData from 10 horses were analyzed. Between modes, PaO₂ was significantly higher immediately after weaning from ventilation and lower at sternal recumbency for AAV than for CMV. No PaCO₂ differences were noted between ventilation modes. All horses ventilated with CMV required supplemental oxygen, whereas three horses ventilated with AAV did not. Time to first movement was shorter with AAV. Time to oxygen insufflation was not different between ventilation modes.ConclusionsAlthough horses ventilated with AAV entered the recovery period with higher PaO₂, this advantage was not sustained during recovery. Whereas fewer horses required supplemental oxygen after AAV, the use of AAV does not preclude the need for routine supplemental oxygen administration in horses recovering from general anesthesia.  相似文献   

Cardiovascular responses to transvenous electrical cardioversion of atrial fibrillation in anaesthetized horses

ObjectiveTo examine the influence of direct current shock application in anaesthetized horses with atrial fibrillation (AF) and to study the effects of cardioversion to sinus rhythm (SR).Study designProspective clinical study.AnimalsEight horses successfully treated for AF (transvenous electrical cardioversion after amiodarone pre-treatment).MethodsCardioversion catheters and a pacing catheter were placed under sedation [detomidine 10 μg kg^?1 intravenously (IV)]. After additional sedation (5–10 μg kg^?1 detomidine, 0.1 mg kg^?1 methadone IV), anaesthesia was induced with ketamine, 2.2 mg kg^?1 and midazolam, 0.06 mg kg^?1 (IV) in a sling and maintained with isoflurane in oxygen. Flunixin meglumine, 1.1 mg kg^?1, was administered IV. Shocks were delivered as biphasic truncated exponential waves, synchronized with the R-wave of the electrocardiogram. Monitoring included pulse oximetry, electrocardiography, capnography, inhalational anaesthetic agent concentration, arterial blood pressure, LiDCO and PulseCO cardiac index (CI) and arterial blood gases. Values before and after the first unsuccessful shock and before and after cardioversion to SR were compared.ResultsValues before the first shock were comparable to reported values in healthy, isoflurane anaesthetized horses. Reliable CI measurements could not be obtained using the PulseCO technique. Intermittent positive pressure ventilation was required in most horses (bradypnea and/or PaCO₂ >8 kPa, 60 mmHg), while dobutamine was administered in two horses (0.3–0.5 μg kg^?1 minute^?1). After the 1st unsuccessful shock application, systolic arterial pressure (SAP) was decreased (p = 0.025), other recorded values were not influenced (CI measurements not available for this analysis). SR was associated with increases in CI (p = 0.039) and stroke index (p = 0.002) and a decrease in SAP (p = 0.030).Conclusions and clinical relevanceDespite the presence of AF, cardiovascular function was well maintained during anaesthesia and was not affected by shock application. Cardiac index and stroke index increased and SAP decreased after cardioversion.  相似文献   

Effect of pressure support ventilation during weaning on ventilation and oxygenation indices in healthy horses recovering from general anesthesia     

Keila K Ida  Denise T Fantoni  Maria TMR Souto  Denise A Otsuki  André LV Zoppa  Luis CLC Silva  Aline M Ambrósio 《Veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia》2013,40(4):339-350

ObjectiveTo determine if pressure support ventilation (PSV) weaning from general anesthesia affects ventilation or oxygenation in horses.Study designProspective randomized clinical study.AnimalsTwenty client‐owned healthy horses aged 5 ± 2 years, weighing 456 ± 90 kg.MethodsIn the control group (CG; n = 10) weaning was performed by a gradual decrease in respiratory rate (f_R) and in the PSV group (PSVG; n = 10) by a gradual decrease in f_R with PSV. The effect of weaning was considered suboptimal if PaCO₂ > 50 mmHg, arterial pH < 7.35 plus PaCO₂ > 50 mmHg or PaO₂ < 60 mmHg were observed at any time after disconnection from the ventilator until 30 minutes after the horse stood. Threshold values for each index were established and the predictive power of these values was tested.ResultsPressure support ventilation group (PSVG) had (mean ± SD) pH 7.36 ± 0.02 and PaCO₂ 41 ± 3 mmHg at weaning and the average lowest PaO₂ 69 ± 6 mmHg was observed 15 minutes post weaning. The CG had pH 7.32 ± 0.02 and PaCO₂ 57 ± 6 mmHg at weaning and the average lowest PaO₂ 48 ± 5 mmHg at 15 minutes post weaning. No accuracy in predicting weaning effect was observed for f_R (p = 0.3474), minute volume (p = 0.1153), SaO₂ (p = 0.1737) and PaO₂/PAO₂ (p = 0.1529). A high accuracy in predicting an optimal effect of weaning was observed for V_T > 10 L (p = 0.0001), f_R/V_T ratio ≤ 0.60 breaths minute^?1 L^?1 (p = 0.0001), V_T/bodyweight > 18.5 mL kg^?1 (p = 0.0001) and PaO₂/FiO₂ > 298 (p = 0.0002) at weaning. A high accuracy in predicting a suboptimal effect of weaning was observed for V_T < 10 L (p = 0.0001), f_R/V_T ratio ≥ 0.60 breaths minute^?1 L^?1 (p = 0.0001) and Pe′CO₂ ≥ 38 mmHg (p = 0.0001) at weaning.Conclusions and clinical relevancePressure support ventilation (PSV) weaning had a better respiratory outcome. A higher V_T, V_T/body weight, PaO₂/FiO₂ ratio and a lower f_R/V_T ratio and Pe′CO₂ were accurate in predicting the effect of weaning in healthy horses recovering from general anesthesia.  相似文献   

Effect of end-inspiratory pause on airway and physiological dead space in anesthetized horses     

《Veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia》2023,50(4):363-371

ObjectiveTo evaluate the impact of a 30% end-inspiratory pause (EIP) on alveolar tidal volume (V_Talv), airway (V_Daw) and physiological (V_Dphys) dead spaces in mechanically ventilated horses using volumetric capnography, and to evaluate the effect of EIP on carbon dioxide (CO₂) elimination per breath (Vco₂br^–1), PaCO_2, and the ratio of PaO₂-to-fractional inspired oxygen (PaO₂:FiO₂).Study designProspective research study.AnimalsA group of eight healthy research horses undergoing laparotomy.MethodsAnesthetized horses were mechanically ventilated as follows: 6 breaths minute^–1, tidal volume (V_T) 13 mL kg^–1, inspiratory-to-expiratory time ratio 1:2, positive end-expiratory pressure 5 cmH₂O and EIP 0%. Vco₂br^–1 and expired tidal volume (V_TE) of 10 consecutive breaths were recorded 30 minutes after induction, after adding 30% EIP and upon EIP removal to construct volumetric capnograms. A stabilization period of 15 minutes was allowed between phases. Data were analyzed using a mixed-effect linear model. Significance was set at p < 0.05.ResultsThe EIP decreased V_Daw from 6.6 (6.1–6.7) to 5.5 (5.3–6.1) mL kg^–1 (p < 0.001) and increased V_Talv from 7.7 ± 0.7 to 8.6 ± 0.6 mL kg^–1 (p = 0.002) without changing the V_TE. The V_Dphys to V_TE ratio decreased from 51.0% to 45.5% (p < 0.001) with EIP. The EIP also increased PaO₂:FiO₂ from 393.3 ± 160.7 to 450.5 ± 182.5 mmHg (52.5 ± 21.4 to 60.0 ± 24.3 kPa; p < 0.001) and Vco₂br^–1 from 0.49 (0.45–0.50) to 0.59 (0.45–0.61) mL kg^–1 (p = 0.008) without reducing PaCO₂.Conclusions and clinical relevanceThe EIP improved oxygenation and reduced V_Daw and V_Dphys, without reductions in PaCO₂. Future studies should evaluate the impact of different EIP in healthy and pathological equine populations under anesthesia.  相似文献   

Alfaxalone compared with ketamine for induction of anaesthesia in horses following xylazine and guaifenesin     

Helen L Keates  Andrew W van Eps  Martin RB Pearson 《Veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia》2012,39(6):591-598

ObjectiveTo compare anaesthesia induced with either alfaxalone or ketamine in horses following premedication with xylazine and guaifenesin.Study designRandomized blinded cross-over experimental study.AnimalsSix adult horses, five Standardbreds and one Thoroughbred; two mares and four geldings.MethodsEach horse received, on separate occasions, induction of anaesthesia with either ketamine 2.2 mg kg^?1 or alfaxalone 1 mg kg^?1. Premedication was with xylazine 0.5 mg kg^?1 and guaifenesin 35 mg kg^?1. Incidence of tremors/shaking after induction, recovery and ataxia on recovery were scored. Time to recovery was recorded. Partial pressure of arterial blood oxygen (PaO₂) and carbon dioxide (PaO₂), arterial blood pressures, heart rate (HR) and respiratory rates were recorded before premedication and at intervals during anaesthesia. Data were analyzed using Wilcoxon matched pairs signed rank test and are expressed as median (range).ResultsThere was no difference in the quality of recovery or in ataxia scores. Horses receiving alfaxalone exhibited a higher incidence of tremors/shaking on induction compared with those receiving ketamine (five and one of six horses respectively). Horses recovered to standing similarly [28 (24–47) minutes for alfaxalone; 22 (18–35) for ketamine] but took longer to recover adequately to return to the paddock after alfaxalone [44 (38–67) minutes] compared with ketamine [35 (30–47)]. There was no statistical difference between treatments in effect on HR, PaO₂ or PaCO₂ although for both regimens, PaO₂ decreased with respect to before premedication values. There was no difference between treatments in effect on blood pressure.Conclusions and clinical relevanceBoth alfaxalone and ketamine were effective at inducing anaesthesia, although at induction there were more muscle tremors after alfaxalone. As there were no differences between treatments in relation to cardiopulmonary responses or quality of recovery, and only minor differences in recovery times, both agents appear suitable for this purpose following the premedication regimen used in this study.  相似文献   

Influence of a constant rate infusion of dexmedetomidine on cardiopulmonary function and recovery quality in isoflurane anaesthetized horses     

Marcilla MG  Schauvliege S  Segaert S  Duchateau L  Gasthuys F 《Veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia》2012,39(1):49-58

ObjectiveTo investigate the influence of a dexmedetomidine constant rate infusion (CRI) in horses anaesthetized with isoflurane.Study designProspective, randomized, blinded, clinical study.AnimalsForty adult healthy horses (weight mean 491 ± SD 102 kg) undergoing elective surgery.MethodsAfter sedation [dexmedetomidine, 3.5 μg kg^?1 intravenously (IV)] and induction IV (midazolam 0.06 mg kg^?1, ketamine 2.2 mg kg^?1), anaesthesia was maintained with isoflurane in oxygen/air (FiO₂ 55–60%). Horses were ventilated and dobutamine was administered when hypoventilation [arterial partial pressure of CO₂ > 8.00 kPa (60 mmHg)] and hypotension [arterial pressure 70 mmHg] occurred respectively. During anaesthesia, horses were randomly allocated to receive a CRI of dexmedetomidine (1.75 μg kg^?1 hour^?1) (D) or saline (S). Monitoring included end-tidal isoflurane concentration, cardiopulmonary parameters, and need for dobutamine and additional ketamine. All horses received 0.875 μg kg^?1 dexmedetomidine IV for the recovery period. Age and weight of the horses, duration of anaesthesia, additional ketamine and dobutamine, cardiopulmonary data (anova), recovery scores (Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test), duration of recovery (t-test) and attempts to stand (Mann–Whitney test) were compared between groups. Significance was set at p < 0.05.ResultsHeart rate and arterial partial pressure of oxygen were significantly lower in group D compared to group S. An interaction between treatment and time was present for cardiac index, oxygen delivery index and systemic vascular resistance. End-tidal isoflurane concentration and heart rate significantly increased over time. Packed cell volume, systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressure, arterial oxygen content, stroke volume index and systemic vascular resistance significantly decreased over time. Recovery scores were significantly better in group D, with fewer attempts to stand and significantly longer times to sternal position and first attempt to stand.Conclusions and clinical relevance A dexmedetomidine CRI produced limited cardiopulmonary effects, but significantly improved recovery quality.  相似文献   

Hypoventilation following oxygen administration associated with alfaxalone–dexmedetomidine–midazolam anesthesia in New Zealand White rabbits     

《Veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia》2020,47(5):637-646

ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between oxygen administration and ventilation in rabbits administered intramuscular alfaxalone–dexmedetomidine–midazolam.Study designProspective, randomized, blinded study.AnimalsA total of 25 New Zealand White rabbits, weighing 3.1–5.9 kg and aged 1 year.MethodsRabbits were anesthetized with intramuscular alfaxalone (4 mg kg^–1), dexmedetomidine (0.1 mg kg^–1) and midazolam (0.2 mg kg^–1) and randomized to wait 5 (n = 8) or 10 (n = 8) minutes between drug injection and oxygen (100%) administration (facemask, 1 L minute^–1). A control group (n = 9) was administered medical air 10 minutes after drug injection. Immediately before (PRE_oxy/air5/10) and 2 minutes after oxygen or medical air (POST_oxy/air5/10), respiratory rate (f_R), pH, PaCO₂, PaO₂, bicarbonate and base excess were recorded by an investigator blinded to treatment allocation. Data [median (range)] were analyzed with Wilcoxon, Mann–Whitney U and Kruskal–Wallis tests and p < 0.05 considered significant.ResultsHypoxemia (PaO₂ < 88 mmHg, 11.7 kPa) was observed at all PRE times: PRE_oxy5 [71 (61–81) mmHg, 9.5 (8.1–10.8) kPa], PRE_oxy10 [58 (36–80) mmHg, 7.7 (4.8–10.7) kPa] and PRE_air10 [48 (32–64) mmHg, 6.4 (4.3–8.5) kPa]. Hypoxemia persisted when breathing air: POST_air10 [49 (33–66) mmHg, 6.5 (4.4–8.8) kPa]. Oxygen administration corrected hypoxemia but was associated with decreased f_R (>70%; p = 0.016, both groups) and hypercapnia (p = 0.016, both groups). Two rabbits (one per oxygen treatment group) were apneic (no thoracic movements for 2.0–2.5 minutes) following oxygen administration. f_R was unchanged when breathing air (p = 0.5). PaCO₂ was higher when breathing oxygen than air (p < 0.001).Conclusions and clinical relevanceEarly oxygen administration resolved anesthesia-induced hypoxemia; however, f_R decreased and PaCO₂ increased indicating that hypoxemic respiratory drive is an important contributor to ventilation using the studied drug combination.  相似文献   

A clinical study on the effect in horses during medetomidine-isoflurane anaesthesia, of butorphanol constant rate infusion on isoflurane requirements, on cardiopulmonary function and on recovery characteristics     

Bettschart-Wolfensberger R  Dicht S  Vullo C  Frotzler A  Kuemmerle JM  Ringer SK 《Veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia》2011,38(3):186-194

ObjectiveTo test if the addition of butorphanol by constant rate infusion (CRI) to medetomidine–isoflurane anaesthesia reduced isoflurane requirements, and influenced cardiopulmonary function and/or recovery characteristics.Study designProspective blinded randomised clinical trial.Animals61 horses undergoing elective surgery.MethodsHorses were sedated with intravenous (IV) medetomidine (7 μg kg^?1); anaesthesia was induced with IV ketamine (2.2 mg kg^?1) and diazepam (0.02 mg kg^?1) and maintained with isoflurane and a CRI of medetomidine (3.5 μg kg^?1 hour^?1). Group MB (n = 31) received butorphanol CRI (25 μg kg^?1 IV bolus then 25 μg kg^?1 hour^?1); Group M (n = 30) an equal volume of saline. Artificial ventilation maintained end-tidal CO₂ in the normal range. Horses received lactated Ringer’s solution 5 mL kg^?1 hour^?1, dobutamine <1.25 μg kg^?1 minute^?1 and colloids if required. Inspired and exhaled gases, heart rate and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) were monitored continuously; pH and arterial blood gases were measured every 30 minutes. Recovery was timed and scored. Data were analyzed using two way repeated measures anova, independent t-tests or Mann–Whitney Rank Sum test (p < 0.05).ResultsThere was no difference between groups with respect to anaesthesia duration, end-tidal isoflurane (MB: mean 1.06 ± SD 0.11, M: 1.05 ± 0.1%), MAP (MB: 88 ± 9, M: 87 ± 7 mmHg), heart rate (MB: 33 ± 6, M: 35 ± 8 beats minute^?1), pH, PaO₂ (MB: 19.2 ± 6.6, M: 18.2 ± 6.6 kPa) or PaCO_2. Recovery times and quality did not differ between groups, but the time to extubation was significantly longer in group MB (26.9 ± 10.9 minutes) than in group M (20.4 ± 9.4 minutes).Conclusion and clinical relevanceButorphanol CRI at the dose used does not decrease isoflurane requirements in horses anaesthetised with medetomidine–isoflurane and has no influence on cardiopulmonary function or recovery.  相似文献

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effects of intravenous (IV) or intramuscular (IM) hyoscine premedication on physiologic variables following IV administration of medetomidine in horses.Study designRandomized, crossover experimental study.AnimalsEight healthy crossbred horses weighing 330 ± 39 kg and aged 7 ± 4 years.MethodsBaseline measurements of heart rate (HR), cardiac index (CI), respiratory rate, systemic vascular resistance (SVR), percentage of patients with second degree atrioventricular (2^oAV) block, mean arterial pressure (MAP), pH, and arterial partial pressures of carbon dioxide (PaCO₂) and oxygen (PaO₂) were obtained 5 minutes before administration of IV hyoscine (0.14 mg kg^?1; group HIV), IM hyoscine (0.3 mg kg^?1; group HIM), or an equal volume of physiologic saline IV (group C). Five minutes later, medetomidine (7.5 μg kg^?1) was administered IV and measurements were recorded at various time points for 130 minutes.ResultsMedetomidine induced bradycardia, 2^oAV blocks and increased SVR immediately after administration, without significant changes in CI or MAP in C. Hyoscine administration induced tachycardia and hypertension, and decreased the percentage of 2^oAV blocks induced by medetomidine. Peak HR and MAP were higher in HIV than HIM at 88 ± 18 beats minute^?1 and 241 ± 37 mmHg versus 65 ± 16 beats minute^?1 and 192 ± 38 mmHg, respectively. CI was increased significantly in HIV (p ≤ 0.05). Respiratory rate decreased significantly in all groups during the recording period. pH, PaCO₂ and PaO₂ were not significantly changed by administration of medetomidine with or without hyoscine.Conclusion and clinical relevanceHyoscine administered IV or IM before medetomidine in horses resulted in tachycardia and hypertension under the conditions of this study. The significance of these changes, and responses to other dose rates, requires further investigation.  相似文献   

A comparison of cardiopulmonary and anesthetic effects of an induction dose of alfaxalone or propofol in dogs

ObjectiveTo compare the physiological parameters, arterial blood gas values, induction quality, and recovery quality after IV injection of alfaxalone or propofol in dogs.Study designProspective, randomized, blinded crossover.AnimalsEight random-source adult female mixed-breed dogs weighing 18.7 ± 4.5 kg.MethodsDogs were assigned to receive up to 8 mg kg^?1 propofol or 4 mg kg^?1 alfaxalone, administered to effect, at 10% of the calculated dose every 10 seconds. They then received the alternate drug after a 6-day washout. Temperature, pulse rate, respiratory rate, direct blood pressure, and arterial blood gases were measured before induction, immediately post-induction, and at 5-minute intervals until extubation. Quality of induction, recovery, and ataxia were scored by a single blinded investigator. Duration of anesthesia and recovery, and adverse events were recorded.ResultsThe mean doses required for induction were 2.6 ± 0.4 mg kg^?1 alfaxalone and 5.2 ± 0.8 mg kg^?1 propofol. After alfaxalone, temperature, respiration, and pH were significantly lower, and PaCO₂ significantly higher post-induction compared to baseline (p < 0.03). After propofol, pH, PaO₂, and SaO₂ were significantly lower, and PaCO₂, HCO₃, and PA-aO₂ gradient significantly higher post-induction compared to baseline (p < 0.03). Post-induction and 5-minute physiologic and blood gas values were not significantly different between alfaxalone and propofol. Alfaxalone resulted in significantly longer times to achieve sternal recumbency (p = 0.0003) and standing (p = 0.0004) compared to propofol. Subjective scores for induction, recovery, and ataxia were not significantly different between treatments; however, dogs undergoing alfaxalone anesthesia were more likely to have ≥1 adverse event (p = 0.041). There were no serious adverse events in either treatment.Conclusions and clinical relevanceThere were no clinically significant differences in cardiopulmonary effects between propofol and alfaxalone. A single bolus of propofol resulted in shorter recovery times and fewer adverse events than a single bolus of alfaxalone.  相似文献

ObjectiveTo describe some cardiorespiratory effects of an inspiratory-to-expiratory (IE) ratio of 1:1 compared with 1:3 in ventilated horses in dorsal recumbency.Study designRandomized crossover experimental study.AnimalsA total of eight anesthetized horses, with 444 (330–485) kg body weight [median (range)].MethodsHorses were ventilated in dorsal recumbency with a tidal volume of 15 mL kg^–1 and a respiratory rate of 8 breaths minute^–1, and IE ratios of 1:1 (IE1:1) and 1:3 (IE1:3) in random order, each for 25 minutes after applying a recruitment maneuver. Spirometry, arterial blood gases and dobutamine requirements were recorded in all horses during each treatment. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) data were recorded in four horses and used to generate functional EIT variables including regional ventilation delay index (RVD), a measure of speed of lung inflation, and end-expiratory lung impedance (EELI), an indicator of functional residual capacity (FRC). Results were assessed with linear and generalized linear mixed models.ResultsCompared with treatment IE1:3, horses ventilated with treatment IE1:1 had higher mean airway pressures and respiratory system compliance (p < 0.014), while peak, end-inspiratory and driving airway pressures were lower (p < 0.001). No differences in arterial oxygenation or dobutamine requirements were observed. PaCO₂ was lower in treatment IE1:1 (p = 0.039). Treatment IE1:1 resulted in lower RVD (p < 0.002) and higher EELI (p = 0.023) than treatment IE1:3.Conclusions and clinical relevanceThese results suggest that IE1:1 improved respiratory system mechanics and alveolar ventilation compared with IE1:3, whereas oxygenation and dobutamine requirements were unchanged, although differences were small. In the four horses where EIT was evaluated, IE1:1 led to a faster inflation rate of the lung, possibly the result of increased FRC. The clinical relevance of these findings needs to be further investigated.  相似文献

ObjectiveTo investigate physiological and sedative/immobilization effects of medetomidine or dexmedetomidine combined with ketamine in free-ranging Chinese water deer (CWD).Study designProspective clinical trial.Animals10 free-ranging adult Chinese water deer (11.0 ± 2.6 kg).MethodsAnimals were darted intramuscularly with 0.08 ± 0.004 mg kg^?1 medetomidine and 3.2 ± 0.2 mg kg^?1 ketamine (MK) or 0.04 ± 0.01 mg kg^?1 dexmedetomidine and 2.9 ± 0.1 mg kg^?1 ketamine (DMK) If the animal was still laterally recumbent after 60 minutes of immobilization, atipamezole was administered intravenously (MK: 0.4 ± 0.02 mg kg^?1, DMK: 0.2 ± 0.03 mg kg^?1). Heart rate (HR) respiratory rate (f_R) and temperature were recorded at 5-minute intervals. Arterial blood was taken 15 and 45 minutes after initial injection. Statistical analysis was performed using Student’s t-test or anova. p < 0.05 was considered significant.ResultsAnimals became recumbent rapidly in both groups. Most had involuntary ear twitches, but there was no response to external stimuli. There were no statistical differences in mean HR (MK: 75 ± 14 beats minute^?1; DMK: 85 ± 21 beats minute^?1), f_R (MK: 51 ± 35 breaths minute^?1; DMK; 36 ± 9 breaths minute^?1), temperature (MK: 38.1 ± 0.7 °C; DMK: 38.4 ± 0.5 °C), blood gas values (MK: PaO₂ 63 ± 6 mmHg, PaCO₂ 49.6 ± 2.6 mmHg, HCO₃^? 30.8 ± 4.5 mmol L^?1; DMK: PaO₂ 77 ± 35 mmHg, PaCO₂ 45.9 ± 11.5 mmHg, HCO₃^? 31.0 ± 4.5 mmol L^?1) and biochemical values between groups but temperature decreased in both groups. All animals needed antagonism of immobilization after 60 minutes. Recovery was quick and uneventful. There were no adverse effects after recovery.Conclusion and clinical relevanceBoth anaesthetic protocols provided satisfactory immobilisation. There was no clear preference for either protocol and both appear suitable for CWD.  相似文献   

The bispectral index during recovery from halothane and sevoflurane anaesthesia in horses

ObjectiveTo record the bispectral index (BIS) when horses moved during either halothane or sevoflurane anaesthesia and when they made volitional movements during recovery from these anaesthetics.Study designRandomized prospective clinical study.AnimalsTwenty-five client-owned horses undergoing surgery aged 8.8 (± 5.3; 1–19) years (mean ± SD; range).MethodsBaseline BIS values were recorded before pre-anaesthetic medication (BIS_B) and during anaesthesia (BIS_A) maintained with halothane (group H; n = 12) or sevoflurane (group S; n =13) at approximately 0.8–0.9 × minimum alveolar concentrations (MAC). Bispectral indices were recorded during the surgery when unexpected movement occurred (BIS_MA), during recovery when the first movement convincingly associated with consciousness was observed (BIS_M1) and once sternal recumbency was achieved (BIS_ST).ResultsNo significant difference in BIS_M1 was found between halothane- (85 ± 7; 75–93) and sevoflurane- (87 ± 10; 70–98) anaesthetized horses although BIS_A was significantly (p = 0.0002) lower in group S (62 ± 7; 53–72) than group H (74 ± 7; 60–84). Differences between BIS_M1 and BIS_A were significant in sevoflurane (p = 0.00001) and halothane recipients (p = 0.002) but were greater in group S (25 ± 9; 4–38) compared with group H (12 ± 10; ?9–25). In six of eight horses, BIS_MA values ranged between those recorded during anaesthesia and at first movement.Conclusions and clinical relevanceBispectral indices appear to approximate levels of unconsciousness, suggesting that monitoring the BIS may assist equine anaesthesia. However, it does not predict intra-operative movement.  相似文献   

Comparative effects of three different ventilatory treatments on arterial blood gas values and oxygen extraction in healthy anaesthetized dogs     

《Veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia》2022,49(3):251-264

ObjectiveTo compare the effect of invasive continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and spontaneous breathing (SB) on PaO₂, PaCO₂ and arterial to central venous oxygen content difference (CaO₂-CcvO₂) in healthy anaesthetized dogs.Study designProspective randomized crossover study.AnimalsA group of 15 adult male dogs undergoing elective orchidectomy.MethodsDogs were anaesthetized [buprenorphine, medetomidine, propofol and isoflurane in an air oxygen (FiO₂= 0.5)]. All ventilatory treatments (CPAP: 4 cmH₂O; PCV: 10 cmH₂O driving pressure; PEEP, 4 cmH₂O; respiratory rate of 10 breaths minute^–1 and inspiratory-to-expiratory ratio of 1:2; SB: no pressure applied) were applied in a randomized order during the same anaesthetic. Arterial and central venous blood samples were collected immediately before the start and at 20 minutes after each treatment. Data were compared using a general linear mixed model (p < 0.05).ResultsMedian PaO₂ was significantly higher after PCV [222 mmHg (29.6 kPa)] than after CPAP [202 mmHg (26.9 kPa)] and SB [208 mmHg (27.7 kPa)] (p < 0.001). Median PaCO₂ was lower after PCV [48 mmHg (6.4 kPa)] than after CPAP [58 mmHg (7.7 kPa)] and SB [56 mmHg (7.5 kPa)] (p < 0.001). Median CaO₂-CcvO₂ was greater after PCV (4.36 mL dL^–1) than after CPAP (3.41 mL dL^–1) and SB (3.23 mL dL^–1) (p < 0.001). PaO₂, PaCO₂ and CaO₂-CcvO₂ were no different between CPAP and SB (p > 0.99, p = 0.697 and p = 0.922, respectively).Conclusions and clinical relevanceCPAP resulted in similar arterial oxygenation, CO₂ elimination and tissue oxygen extraction to SB. PCV resulted in improved arterial oxygenation and CO₂ elimination. Greater oxygen extraction occurred with PCV than with CPAP and SB, offsetting its advantage of improved arterial oxygenation. The benefit of invasive CPAP over SB in the healthy anaesthetized dog remains uncertain.  相似文献   

Serum Amyloid A (SAA) Concentration after Vaccination in Horses and Mules     

《Journal of Equine Veterinary Science》2020

Serum amyloid A (SAA) is a sensitive acute-phase response (APR) marker in equids. Prominent APRs with elevations of SAA concentrations ([SAA]) have been reported after vaccination. The authors hypothesized that vaccination with an inactivated EHV-1/-4 vaccine would cause increase in [SAA] and antibody responses and that higher [SAA] would be positively correlated with the antibody titer in both equids. Twelve Haflinger horses and 12 mules were included in this longitudinal prospective study. All horses and mules were vaccinated with a commercially available EHV-1/-4 vaccine. Blood was sampled before and after vaccination to measure [SAA] and virus-neutralizing response (VN-T). In horses and mules, significantly higher [SAA] were measured on days 1, 3, and 5 after EHV-1/-4 vaccination; [SAA] on day 1 after vaccination were only measured in animals that developed fever, where mean [SAA] were significantly higher in horses than in mules (horses: 1,365.75 ± 87.64 mg/L, mules: 615.5 ± 153.444 mg/L) (P > .05). Four horses and 2 mules developed fever after vaccination, lasting for ≤24 hours. Increased antibody responses (VN-T) on days 7 and 14 after vaccination were observed in all animals, whereas mules showed higher overall antibody responses. Nevertheless, [SAA] did not correlate with the intensity of the antibody responses (VN-T) stimulated by the vaccine (P < .05). EHV-1/-4 vaccination caused a prominent APR, higher in horses than in mules, but [SAA] did not correlate with antibody responses. Measuring [SAA] after vaccination could help identify severe APRs that may require longer resting intervals before training or competition.  相似文献   

Comparison of azaperone–detomidine–butorphanol–ketamine and azaperone–tiletamine–zolazepam for anaesthesia in piglets

ObjectiveTo investigate a combination of azaperone, detomidine, butorphanol and ketamine (DBK) in pigs and to compare it with the combination of azaperone, tiletamine and zolazepam (TZ).Study designProspective, randomized, blinded, cross–over study.AnimalsTwelve clinically healthy crossbred pigs aged about 2 months and weighing 16–25 kg.MethodsPigs were pre–medicated with azaperone (4 mg kg^?1). Ten minutes later anaesthesia was induced with intramuscular DBK (detomidine 0.08 mg kg^?1, butorphanol 0.2 mg kg^?1, ketamine 10 mg kg^?1) or TZ (tiletamine and zolazepam 5 mg kg^?1). The pigs were positioned in dorsal recumbency. Heart and respiratory rates, posture, anaesthesia score, PaO₂, PaCO₂, pH and bicarbonate concentration were measured. t–test was used to compare the areas under time–anaesthesia index curve (AUC_anindex) between treatments. Data concerning heart and respiratory rates, PaO₂, PaCO₂ and anaesthesia score were analysed with anova for repeated measurements. Wilcoxon signed rank test was used for the data concerning the duration of sedation and anaesthesia.ResultsThe sedation, analgesia and anaesthesia lasted longer after DBK than TZ. The AUC_anscore were 863 ± 423 and 452 ± 274 for DBK and TZ, respectively (p = 0.002). The duration of surgical anaesthesia lasted a median of 35 minutes (0–105 minutes) after DBK and a median of 15 minutes (0–35 minutes) after TZ (p = 0.05). Four pigs after DBK and six after TZ did not achieve the plane of surgical anaesthesia. The heart rate was lower after DBK than after TZ. Both treatments had similar effects on the other parameters measured.ConclusionsAt the doses used DBK was more effective than TZ for anaesthesia in pigs under field conditions.Clinical relevanceThe combinations can be used for sedation and minor field surgery in pigs. The doses and drugs chosen were insufficient to produce a reliable surgical plane of anaesthesia in these young pigs.  相似文献   

A comparison of anesthetic risk factors and outcomes in light and draft horses

As a result of anatomic and physiologic differences, draft breeds may be at greater risk of developing anesthetic complications. The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare anesthetic management of draft (DR) and light (LT) horses. A case‐matched retrospective study of 371 clinical case records of DR (124 cases) and LT (247 cases) horses presented for general anesthesia between 1991 and 1998 was performed. Data were tabulated and comparisons were made using Student's t‐test (significance p < 0.05). Prior to induction, there were significant differences in mean body weight, rectal temperature, PCV, RBC, and serum TP concentration between DR and LT breeds. There were differences in mean doses of pre‐operative butorphanol (LT 21 µg kg^?1; DR 17 µg kg^?1), induction guaifenesin (LT 99 mg kg^?1; DR 88 mg kg^?1), and intraoperative ketamine (LT 0.35 mg kg^?1; DR 0.56 mg kg^?1) required. There were no significant differences in the mean doses of pre‐operative xylazine, detomidine, or induction barbiturate administered. The mean, average, and maximum concentrations of inspired halothane were significantly higher for DR than for LT horses. Draft horses received 33% less intraoperative IV fluids (8.2 mL kg^?1 hour^?1) than LT horses. Mean anesthetic duration, time to extubation, and standing recovery were not significantly different. Induction complications were not reported for either group. Rates of occurrence of intraoperative bradycardia, hypercarbia, hypoxemia, and metabolic acidosis (SBE, TCO₂, and bicarbonate concentration) did not differ significantly. Average MAP was greater in DR horses, but neither the degree nor the mean duration of hypotension differed between DR and LT horses. Mean PaO₂ was significantly lower in DR (246 mm Hg, 32.8 kPa) than in LT (305 mm Hg, 40.7 kPa) breeds. Draft horses were at greater relative risk of hypoventilation than LT horses. The greater MAP and requirement for halothane and intraoperative ketamine may indicate problems in achieving and maintaining a surgical plane of anesthesia. Draft horses may be at a greater risk of ventilation–perfusion mismatching.  相似文献
