ObjectiveTo evaluate the fresh gas flow (FGF) rate requirements for the Humphrey ADE semi-closed breathing system in the Mapleson A mode; to determine the FGF at which rebreathing occurs, and compare the efficiency of this system to the Bain (Mapleson D) system in spontaneously breathing cats and small dogs.Study DesignProspective clinical study.AnimalsTwenty-five healthy (ASA score I or II) client-owned cats and dogs (mean ± SD age 4.7 ± 5.0 years, and body weight 5.64 ± 3.26 kg) undergoing elective surgery or minor procedures.MethodsAnaesthesia was maintained with isoflurane delivered via the Humphrey ADE system in the A mode using an oxygen FGF of 100 mL kg−1 minute−1. The FGF was then reduced incrementally by 5–10 mL kg−1minute−1 at approximately five-minute intervals, until rebreathing (inspired CO2 >5 mmHg (0.7 kPa)) was observed, after which flow rates were increased. In six animals, once the minimum FGF at which rebreathing occurred was found, the breathing system was changed to the Bain, and the effects of this FGF delivery examined, before FGF was increased.ResultsRebreathing did not occur at the FGF recommended by the manufacturer for the ADE. The mean ± SD FGF that resulted in rebreathing was 60 ± 20 mL kg−1minute−1. The mean minimum FGF at which rebreathing did not occur with the ADE was 87 ± 39 mL kg−1minute−1. This FGF resulted in significant rebreathing (inspired CO2 8.8 ± 2.6 mmHg (1.2 ± 0.3 kPa)) on the Bain system.ConclusionsThe FGF rates recommended for the Humphrey ADE are adequate to prevent rebreathing in spontaneously breathing cats and dogs <15 kg.Clinical relevanceThe Humphrey ADE system used in the A mode is a more efficient alternative to the Bain system, for maintenance of gaseous anaesthesia in spontaneously breathing cats and small dogs.  相似文献

The performance of the Lack co-axial breathing circuit was evaluated in 25 anaesthetized dogs breathing spontaneously. Fresh gas flows were adjusted until rebreathing started to occur as judged by capnography. Thus a critical fresh gas flow rate was determined for small (10–15 kg) and larger (15 + kg) dogs. These were 130.5 ± 31.2 and 95.9 ± 13-1 ml/kg/min respectively. In a further twenty dogs weighing over 15 kg a fresh gas flow rate of 120 ml/kg/min was used and was found to be sufficient to prevent rebreathing in all cases. In 11 dogs a direct comparison was made between the Lack and the Magill circuits with fresh gas flows of 120 ml/kg/min and it was found by capnography that while there was minimal or no rebreathing with the Lack system there was substantial rebreathing with the Magill.  相似文献

ObjectiveTo evaluate agreement with PaCO2 of two low sampling rate sidestream capnometers and a mainstream capnometer in rabbits and the effect of using high fresh gas flow from a Bain coaxial breathing system.Study designProspective, crossover study.AnimalsA total of 10 New Zealand White rabbits weighing 3.4 ± 0.3 kg [mean ± standard deviation (SD)].MethodsTwo sidestream analyzers (Viamed VM-2500-S and Capnostream 35) with a sampling rate of 50 mL minute–1 and a mainstream capnometer (Capnostat 5) were tested. All capnometers used infrared spectroscopy and advanced microprocessor technology. Rabbits were anesthetized and intubated with noncuffed endotracheal tubes of 3 mm internal diameter and adequate seal. A sidestream sampling adapter or the mainstream capnometer was attached to the endotracheal tube and connected to a Bain coaxial breathing system. Oxygen (1.5 L minute–1) delivered sevoflurane to maintain anesthesia. An auricular artery catheter allowed blood sampling for PaCO2 analysis corrected to rectal temperature. Inspired and end-tidal carbon dioxide (Pe′CO2) measurements were recorded during blood sample withdrawal. From each rabbit, 10 paired PaCO2/Pe′CO2 measurements were obtained. Each rabbit was recovered from anesthesia and was anesthetized again with an alternate capnometer after 1 week. Data were analyzed using Bland–Altman and two-way anova for repeated measures.ResultsAnalysis included 100 paired samples. Negative bias reflects underestimation of PaCO2. Bland–Altman mean (±1.95 SD) was –16.7 (–35.2 to 1.8) mmHg for Capnostat 5, –27.9 (–48.6 to –7.2) mmHg for Viamed, and –18.1 (–34.3 to –1.9) mmHg for Capnostream. Viamed PaCO2–Pe′CO2 gradient was greater than other two capnometers.ConclusionsAll three capnometers underestimated PaCO2. Capnostat 5 and Capnostream performed similarly.Clinical relevanceThese capnometers underestimated PaCO2 in spontaneously breathing rabbits anesthetized using a Bain coaxial breathing system with high fresh gas flows.  相似文献

Post‐operative pain management by a single subcutaneous (SC) injection of carprofen has been found to be effective in cats and dogs. This clinical study compared the analgesic properties of injectable carprofen and butorphanol in 71 healthy cats (0.5–5 years, mean weight 3.24 ± 0.61 kg) undergoing ovariohysterectomy. Cats were randomly assigned to three groups: Group C received carprofen 4 mg kg?1 SC at intubation and sterile saline 0.08 mL kg?1 SC at extubation; Group B received sterile saline 0.08 mL kg?1 SC at intubation and butorphanol 0.4 mg kg?1 SC at extubation; Group S received sterile saline 0.08 mL kg?1 SC at intubation and extubation. All cats were pre‐medicated with atropine (0.04 mg kg?1 SC), acepromazine (0.02 mg kg?1 SC), ketamine (5 mg kg?1 SC), and induced IV with ketamine (5 mg kg?1) and diazepam (0.25 mg kg?1). Serum biochemistry values were taken at 24 and 48 hours post‐surgically and compared to a pre‐surgical baseline. Behavioral data were collected by a blinded investigator prior to surgery (baseline) and 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24 hours post‐surgery; the data were compiled into composite pain scores on a scale from 0 to 21 and complemented by visual analogue scores (VAS). Scoring was based on changes in behavior, posture, vocalization, and response to interactive stimulation. Cats with pain scores >12 were considered to be moderately painful, received meperidine (4 mg kg?1 IM), and were excluded from further statistical analyses. Sixty of 71 cats completed the study. Anesthetic time was 88.5 ± 21.8 minutes (mean ± SD). Meperidine was given to one cat in C, three in B, and five in S. There were no significant differences in biochemistry values. There were no significant differences in pain scores between C and B at any time period; B and C pain scores were significantly lower than S at 1, 2, 12, 16, and 20 hours post‐operatively, and C lower than S at 3 and 8 hours post‐surgery. Pain scores decreased over the 24‐hour study in all groups; the greatest decrease in each group was between 4 and 8 hours post‐operatively. In this study, carprofen provided post‐surgical analgesia comparable to butorphanol.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the suitability of a 'mini parallel Lack' (MPL) breathing system for use in spontaneously breathing cats and to compare the fresh gas flow requirement with that of a modified Ayre's T-piece (MATP). ANIMALS: Twenty client-owned cats, ASA I and II, presented for elective procedures requiring anaesthesia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Pre-anaesthetic medication and induction of anaesthesia were carried out using several techniques commonly used in our teaching hospital. Anaesthesia was maintained with halothane or isoflurane vaporized in either oxygen or with a mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide. Both breathing systems were evaluated in each cat, with the order of use randomized. Initial fresh gas flows were 300 mL kg(-1) minute(-1) for the MPL and 500 mL kg(- 1) minute(-1) for the MATP. After a 20-minute stabilization period, fresh gas flow was reduced by 200 mL minute(-1) every 5 minutes until re-breathing--defined as an increase in the inspired partial pressure of carbon dioxide to 0.3 kPa (2 mm Hg)--was detected. The fresh gas flow was then increased in 100 mL minute(-1) increments until re-breathing was no longer detectable, and this value was recorded as the minimum fresh gas flow requirement for the breathing system in use. The procedure was then repeated for the second breathing system. Minimum fresh gas flow requirements were compared using a paired Students t-test. Cardiopulmonary variables were compared using anova. Valve opening pressure was measured in the MPL using a manometer. RESULTS: The mean (+/-SD) fresh gas flow that prevented re-breathing with the MPL (510 +/- 170 mL minute(-1); equivalent to 142 +/- 47 mL kg(-1) minute(-1)) was significantly lower than that required for the MATP (1430 +/- 560 mL minute(-1); equivalent to 397 +/-155 mL kg(-1) minute(-1)). There were no significant differences in cardiopulmonary variables attributable to the use of the two breathing systems. The MPL valve opening pressure was 1.1 cm H2O. CONCLUSIONS: The MPL breathing system used lower gas flows than the MATP without affecting cardiovascular or respiratory function. Clinical relevance In spontaneously breathing cats, the MPL offers the advantages of a reduction in cost and atmospheric pollution because less volatile agent is vaporized.  相似文献

Same‐day mass sterilization of feral cats requires rapid onset, short‐duration anesthesia. The purpose of this study was to compare our current anesthetic protocol, Telazol–ketamine–xylazine (TKX) with medetomidine–ketamine–buprenorphine (MKB). Feral female cats received either IM TKX (n = 68; 0.25 mL cat?1; tiletamine 12.5 mg, zolazepam 12.5 mg, K 20 mg, and X 5 mg per 0.25 mL) or MKB (n = 17; M 40 µg kg?1, K 15 mg kg?1, and B 10 µg kg?1). Intervals measured included time from injection to recumbency, time to surgery, duration of surgery, and time from reversal of anesthesia (TKX: yohimbine 0.50 mg cat?1 IV; MKB: atipamezole 0.50 mg cat?1 IM) to sternal recumbency. Following instrumentation (Vet/Ox 4403 and Vet/BP Plus 6500), physiological measurements were recorded at 5‐minute intervals, and included rectal temperature, heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), SpO2 (lingual or rectal probes), and indirect mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) (oscillometric method). Nonparametric means were compared using Mann–Whitney U‐tests. Parametric means were compared using a two‐factorial anova with Bonferroni's t‐tests. The alpha‐priori significance level was p < 0.05. Values were mean ± SD. Body weight (TKX: 2.9 ± 0.5 kg, MKB: 2.7 ± 0.7 kg), time to recumbency (TKX: 4 ± 1 minutes, MKB: 3 ± 1 minutes), time to surgery (TKX: 28 ± 7 minutes, MKB: 28 ± 5 minutes), and duration of surgery (TKX: 11 ± 7 minutes, MKB: 8 ± 5 minutes) did not differ between groups. In contrast, MKB cats required less time from reversal to sternal recumbency (TKX: 68 ± 41 minutes, MKB: 7 ± 2 minutes) and were recumbent for shorter duration (TKX: 114 ± 39 minutes, MKB: 53 ± 6 minutes). Temperature decreased during the study in both groups, but overall temperature was higher in MKB cats (38.0 ± 0.95 °C) than in TKX cats (37.5 ± 0.95 °C). RR, HR, and SpO2 did not change during the study in either group. However, overall HR and RR were higher in TKX cats (RR: 18 ± 8 breaths minute?1, HR: 153 ± 30 beats minute?1) compared to MKB cats (RR: 15 ± 7 breaths minute?1, HR: 128 ± 19 beats minute?1). In contrast, overall SpO2 was lower in the TKX group (90 ± 6%) compared to the MKB group (94 ± 4%). MAP was also lower in the TKX group (112 ± 29 mm Hg) compared to that in the MKB group (122 ± 20 mm Hg). However, MAP increased in the TKX group during surgery compared to pre‐surgical values, but did not change in the MKB group. The results of this study suggested that MKB might be more suitable as an anesthetic for the purpose of mass sterilization of feral female cats.  相似文献

ObjectiveTo compare breathing patterns and transdiaphragmatic pressure during total intravenous (TIVA) and isoflurane anaesthesia in ponies.Study designExperimental, cross–over study.AnimalsSix healthy ponies weighing 286 (233–388) ± 61 kg, age 13 (9–16) ± 3 years.MethodsFollowing premedication with romifidine [80 μg kg?1 intravenously (IV)], general anaesthesia was induced with midazolam (0.06 mg kg?1 IV) and ketamine (2.5 mg kg?1 IV) and maintained with either isoflurane (Fe’Iso = 1.1%) (T-ISO) or an IV combination of romifidine (120 μg kg?1 per hour), midazolam (0.09 mg kg?1 hour?1) and ketamine (3.3 mg kg?1 hour?1) (T-TIVA), while breathing 60% oxygen (FIO2). The circumference changes of the rib cage (RC) and abdominal compartment (ABD) were recorded using respiratory ultrasonic plethysmography (RUP). Balloon tipped catheters were placed in the distal oesophagus and the stomach and maximal transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi max) was calculated during Mueller's manoeuvre.ResultsThe breathing pattern T-ISO was more regular and respiratory rate significantly lower compared with T-TIVA. Ponies in T-TIVA showed regularly appearing sighs, which were never observed in T-ISO. Different contribution of the RC and ABD compartments to the breathing pattern was observed with a smaller participation of the RC to the total volume change during T-ISO. Transdiaphragmatic pressures (mean 13.7 ± SD 8.61 versus 23.4 ± 7.27 cmH2O, p < 0.0001) were higher in T-TIVA compared to T-ISO. The sum of the RC and ABD circumferential changes was lower during T-TIVA compared to T-ISO (6.32 ± 4.42 versus 11.72 ± 4.38 units, p < 0.0001).Conclusion and clinical relevanceMarked differences in breathing pattern and transdiaphragmatic pressure exist during inhalation- and TIVA and these should be taken into account for clinical estimation of anaesthetic depth.  相似文献

ObjectiveTo evaluate and compare the cardiopulmonary effects of induction of anesthesia with isoflurane (Iso), ketamine–diazepam (KD), or propofol–diazepam (PD) in hypovolemic dogs.Study designProspective randomized cross–over trial.AnimalsSix healthy intact, mixed breed, female dogs weighing 20.7 ± 4.2 kg and aged 22 ± 2 months.MethodsDogs had 30 mL kg?1 of blood removed at a rate of 1.5 mL kg?1 minute?1 under isoflurane anesthesia. Following a 30–minute recovery period, anesthesia was reinduced. Dogs were assigned to one of three treatments: isoflurane via facemask using 0.5% incremental increases in the delivered concentration every 30 seconds, 1.25 mg kg?1 ketamine and 0.0625 mg kg?1 diazepam intravenously (IV) with doses repeated every 30 seconds as required, and 2 mg kg?1 propofol and 0.2 mg kg?1 diazepam IV followed by 1 mg kg?1 propofol increments IV every 30 seconds as required. Following endotracheal intubation all dogs received 1.7% end–tidal isoflurane in oxygen. Cardiopulmonary variables were recorded at baseline (before induction) and at 5 or 10 minute intervals following endotracheal intubation.ResultsInduction time was longer in Iso (4.98 ± 0.47 minutes) compared to KD (3.10 ± 0.47 minutes) or PD (3.22 ± 0.45 minutes). To produce anesthesia, KD received 4.9 ± 2.3 mg kg?1 ketamine and 0.24 ± 0.1 mg kg?1 diazepam, while PD received 2.2 ± 0.4 mg kg?1 propofol and 0.2 mg kg?1 diazepam. End–tidal isoflurane concentration immediately following intubation was 1.7 ± 0.4% in Iso. Arterial blood pressure and heart rate were significantly higher in KD and PD compared to Iso and in KD compared to PD. Arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure was significantly higher in PD compared to KD and Iso immediately after induction.Conclusions and clinical relevanceIn hypovolemic dogs, KD or PD, as used in this study to induce anesthesia, resulted in less hemodynamic depression compared to isoflurane.  相似文献

The aim of the study was to compare two methods of measuring physiological dead space/tidal volume ratio (Vd /Vt ) and alveolar dead space (Vd ALV). Measurements were obtained by automated single breath CO2 analysis (Ventrak 1550/Capnoguard 1265 (V&C)) and classical calculations were carried out using the Enghoff–Bohr equation in anaesthetized dogs. The V&C consists of a mainstream capnometer, a pneumotachometer, a signal processor, and computer software to determine continuous single‐breath CO2 analysis (SBT‐CO2). Eleven dogs of mixed breed (five female, six male) mean body mass 35 ± 10 kg, aged 9 months to 8 years were studied. Pre‐anaesthetic medication was acepromazine (0.03 mg kg?1) and methadone (0.1 mg kg?1). Anaesthesia was induced with propofol given to effect and maintained with propofol (10 mg kg?1 hour?1) and fentanyl (0.02 mg kg?1 hour?1) by infusion. The dog's trachea were intubated and the carbon dioxide and flow sensor were placed between the tube and the Y‐piece of a circle system (Fi O2 = 1.0). Controlled ventilation was started (tidal volume 10–15 mL kg?1) and settings were not changed throughout the measurement period. Mixed expired PCO2 (P e ?CO2) was measured by analyzing expired gas collected in a mixing box in the expiratory limb of the circle system. The dorsal pedal artery was cannulated for arterial blood sampling and analysis. Measurements were done every 15 minutes for 1 hour. The Vd /Vt was automatically calculated and displayed from the SBT‐CO2 analysis and also obtained using the Enghoff modification of the Bohr equation (Vd /Vt = (PaCO2 ? P e ?CO2)/PaCO2). Alveolar dead space was determined by calculating the physiological dead space (Vd phys = expired volume × (Vd /Vt )) and subtracting the anatomical dead space measured by SBT‐CO2. Values for Vd /Vt and Vd ALV obtained with both methods were compared using Students t‐test. The mean values from the automatic dead space calculation (Vd /Vt : 0.62–0.63; Vd ALV: 56.1–64.3 mL) did not differ significantly from those calculated arithmetically (Vd /Vt : 0.62–0.63; Vd ALV: 54.09–66.31 mL). The mean differences and standard deviation in Vd /Vt was 0.63 ± 0.00 and in Vd ALV 58.98 ± 4.28 mL for the two measurement techniques. Our data indicate that V&C can be used for accurate noninvasive online Vd /Vt and Vd ALV measurements in anaesthetized ventilated dogs.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To compare minimum fresh gas flow (V(min)) requirements and respiratory resistance in the Uniflow and Bain anaesthetic breathing systems used in the Mapleson D mode. Animals Seven pigs, aged 8-12 weeks, anaesthetized for ophthalmic surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Anaesthesia was maintained with halothane delivered in oxygen using a (Mapleson D) Bain breathing system. The V(min) that prevented re-breathing was found, and peak inspiratory (PIP) and peak expiratory (PEP) pressures measured. The fresh gas flow (V(f)) was then increased to V(min) + 50%, then V(min) + 100%, and respiratory pressures re-measured. A heat and moisture exchanger (HME) was inserted at the endotracheal tube and the procedure repeated. The breathing system was then exchanged for a Uniflow and the protocol repeated. After final disconnection from the breathing system, the animals' peak inspiratory and expiratory flows, tidal, and minute volumes (Vm) were measured over five respiratory cycles. RESULTS: The V(min) (L minute(-1); mL kg(-1) minute(-1)) required to prevent rebreathing in the Uniflow system [8.1(mean) +/-1.7 (SD); 332 +/- 94] was significantly greater than the Bain system (6.5 +/- 1.1; 256 +/- 64). At V(min), PEP with the Uniflow (3.5 +/- 0.1 cm H(2)O) was significantly higher than the Bain system (2 +/- 0.7 cm H(2)O), but PIP values did not differ (Uniflow -0.6 +/- 2.1 cm H(2)O; Bain system -0.2 +/- 0.6 cm H(2)O). With both systems, PEP increased significantly (p < 0.001) with each increase in V(f): Uniflow system 4.2 +/- 0.4 (V(min) + 50%) and 5.5 +/- 0.5 cm H(2)O (V(min) + 100%); Bain system 2.8 +/- 0.7 (V(min) + 50%) and 3.5 +/- 0.7 cm H(2)O (V(min) + 100%). Insertion of the HME did not alter pressures. The mean tidal volume was 6.4 +/- 1.6 mL kg(-1); mean Vm was 184.9 +/- 69.8 mL kg(-1) and mean respiratory rate was 28 +/- 5 breaths minute(-1). In one pig breathing with the Uniflow system PEP rose sharply; respiratory and heart rates increased, and ventricular dysrhythmias occurred. When the system was changed and V(f) reduced, physiological variables became normal. CONCLUSION: The study discredited the hypothesis that the two breathing systems behave similarly. Values for V(min) and PEP were higher with the Uniflow system. Increasing V(f) increased PEP with both systems. Insertion of an HME did not affect respiratory pressures. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The Uniflow used in Mapleson D mode is not suitable for anaesthesia in young spontaneously breathing pigs.  相似文献

A valveless non-absorber breathing system novel to veterinary anaesthesia is described. The performance of this system was evaluated in 35 anaesthetised spontaneously breathing dogs weighing between 2.1 and 56 kg. Fresh gas flows were reduced incrementally until rebreathing (defined as an increase in end-inspired carbon dioxide tension above 0.2 per cent) started to occur, as measured by capnography. A significant relationship (P < 0.0001) between critical fresh gas flow and bodyweight was determined, and a mean critical fresh gas flow rate of 145 +/- 21 ml/kg/minute was derived for 15 dogs weighing 10 kg or less (mean 6.7 +/- 2.6 kg) and one of 98 +/- 16 ml/kg/minute for the remaining 20 dogs weighing 11 kg or greater (mean 30.2 +/- 13.9 kg). The fresh gas requirements for each group were found to differ significantly (P < 0.0001), although the correlation between critical fresh gas flow and bodyweight was not significant (P = 0.054) in the dogs weighing 10 kg or less. It is suggested that the system may prove an economical and useful addition to the breathing systems currently used in canine anaesthesia.  相似文献

ObjectiveDetermine if maropitant decreases the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of sevoflurane during stimulation of the ovarian ligament in cats.Study designProspective study.AnimalsFifteen, female cats weighing 2.5 ± 0.6kg (mean ± SD).MethodsAnesthesia was induced and maintained with sevoflurane. The right ovary was accessed via laparoscopy. A suture around the ovary and ovarian ligament was exteriorized through the abdominal wall for stimulation. A stimulus–response curve was created to identify the optimal force for MAC comparisons. In 10 cats, MAC was determined with only sevoflurane (baseline) then after 1 and 5 mg kg?1 intravenous maropitant administration. The stimulation tension force used was 4.9 N. Repeated measures anova was used to compare the groups. MAC was defined as the average of the cross‐over concentrations and reported MAC is adjusted to sea‐level and depicted as mean ± SD.ResultsThe stimulus‐response curve was hyperbolic and plateaued at 4.3 ± 3 N. The optimal tension force chosen to compare MAC was 4.9 N. The baseline sevoflurane MAC was 2.96 ± 0.3%. Maropitant, 1 mg kg?1, decreased the MAC to 2.51 ± 0.3% (15%, p < 0.01). The higher maropitant dose of 5 mg kg?1 did not change MAC further when compared to the low dose (2.46 ± 0.4%, p = 0.33).Conclusion and clinical relevanceThe ovarian ligament stimulation model is suitable to determine MAC during visceral stimulation in cats. Maropitant decreased the anesthetic requirements during visceral ovarian and ovarian ligament stimulation in cats. Maropitant (1 mg kg?1) decreases MAC by 15%; a higher dose had no additional effect.  相似文献

Lidocaine decreases minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of inhalational anesthetics. This study determined the influence of a low dose, 50 µg kg?1 minute?1 (LDI) and high dose, 200 µg kg?1 minute?1 (HDI) constant rate infusion of lidocaine on the MAC of isoflurane (I) in dogs. Ten mongrel dogs were anesthetized with I in oxygen and mechanically ventilated. End‐tidal anesthetic (Fe ′A) and CO2 (Pe ′CO2) concentrations were monitored at the endotracheal tube adaptor with an infrared gas analyzer calibrated before each experiment with a standardized calibration gas mixture designed for the analyzer. Pe ′CO2 and body temperature were maintained within normal limits. Noxious stimuli included clamping the hindlimb paw (HC) and electrical current (50 V at 50 cycles second?1 for 10 milliseconds pulse?1) applied subcutaneously to the forelimb (FE) at the level of the ulna. After an initial equilibration period of at least 40 minutes at an Fe ′A of 1.7%, the Fe ′A was decreased to a value close to the estimated MAC for dogs. MAC was defined as the Fe ′A mid‐way between the value permitting and preventing purposeful movement. Following baseline MAC, a loading dose of 2 mg kg?1 of lidocaine IV was administered over 3 minutes followed by the LDI, and MAC determinations for the combination started after 30 minutes of infusion. Once determined, the lidocaine infusion was stopped for 30 minutes and the dog maintained at the ETC that prevented movement without the lidocaine. Following this period, a second loading dose of lidocaine was given (2 mg kg?1) over 3 minutes followed by the HDI, and the MAC determination procedure repeated after 30 minutes of infusion. Data were analyzed using an anova for repeated measures. MAC of I was 1.34 ± 0.035% (mean ± SEM) for both the FE and HC stimuli. The LDI significantly decreased MAC to 1.09 ± 0.043% (18.7% reduction) and HDI to 0.76 ± 0.030% (43.3% reduction). In conclusion, lidocaine infusions decreased the MAC of isoflurane in a dose‐dependent manner.  相似文献

ObjectiveTo compare the effects of propofol and alfaxalone on respiration in cats.Study designRandomized, ‘blinded’, prospective clinical trial.AnimalsTwenty cats undergoing ovariohysterectomy.MethodsAfter premedication with medetomidine 0.01 mg kg−1 intramuscularly and meloxicam 0.3 mg kg−1 subcutaneously, the cats were assigned randomly into two groups: group A (n = 10) were administered alfaxalone 5 mg kg−1 minute−1 followed by 10 mg kg−1 hour−1 intravenously (IV) and group P (n = 10) were administered propofol 6 mg kg−1 minute−1 followed by 12 mg kg−1hour−1 IV for induction and maintenance of anaesthesia, respectively. After endotracheal intubation, the tube was connected to a non-rebreathing system delivering 100% oxygen. The anaesthetic maintenance drug rate was adjusted (± 0.5 mg kg−1 hour−1) every 5 minutes according to a scoring sheet based on physiologic variables and clinical signs. If apnoea > 30 seconds, end-tidal carbon dioxide (Pe′CO2) > 7.3 kPa (55 mmHg) or arterial haemoglobin oxygen saturation (SpO2) < 90% occurred, manual ventilation was provided. Methadone was administered postoperatively. Data were analyzed using independent-samples t-tests, Fisher's exact test, linear mixed-effects models and binomial test.ResultsManual ventilation was required in two and eight of the cats in group A and P, respectively (p = 0.02). Two cats in both groups showed apnoea. Pe′CO2 > 7.3 kPa was recorded in zero versus four and SpO2 < 90% in zero versus six cats in groups A and P respectively. Induction and maintenance dose rates (mean ± SD) were 11.6 ± 0.3 mg kg−1 and 10.7 ± 0.8 mg kg−1 hour−1 for alfaxalone and 11.7 ± 2.7 mg kg−1 and 12.4 ± 0.5 mg kg−1 hour−1 for propofol.Conclusion and clinical relevanceAlfaxalone had less adverse influence on respiration than propofol in cats premedicated with medetomidine. Alfaxalone might be better than propofol for induction and maintenance of anaesthesia when artificial ventilation cannot be provided.  相似文献

A central eyeball position is often required during sedation or anaesthesia to facilitate examination of the eye. However, use of neuromuscular blockade to produce a central eye position may result in depressed ventilation. This study evaluated the eyeball position, muscle relaxation and changes in ventilation during general anaesthesia after the IV administration of 0.1 mg kg?1 rocuronium. With client consent, 12 dogs of different breeds, body mass 27.2 ± 11.8 kg, aged 5.6 ± 2.8 years (mean ± SD) were anaesthetized for ocular examination. Pre‐anaesthetic medication was 0.01 mg kg?1 medetomidine and 0.2 mg kg?1 butorphanol IV. Anaesthesia was induced with propofol to effect and maintained with 10 mg kg?1 hour?1 propofol by infusion. The dogs were placed in left lateral recumbency, their trachea intubated and connected to a circle breathing system (Fi O2 = 1.0). All dogs breathed spontaneously. The superficial peroneal nerve of the right hind leg was stimulated every 15 seconds with a train‐of‐four (TOF) stimulation pattern and neuromuscular function was assessed with an acceleromyograph (TOF‐Guard). Adequacy of ventilation was measured with the Ventrak 1550. After 10 minutes of anaesthesia to allow stabilisation of baseline values, 0.1 mg kg?1 rocuronium was administered IV. Minute volume (Vm ), tidal volume (Vt ), respiratory rate (RR), Pe ′CO2 and maximal depression of T1 and TOF ratio were measured. Data were analysed using a paired t‐test. The changes in the eyeball position were recorded. A total of 100 ± 33 seconds after the injection of rocuronium, T1 was maximally depressed to 62 ± 21% and the TOF ratio to 42 ± 18% of baseline values. Both variables returned to baseline after 366 ± 132 seconds (T1) and 478 ± 111 seconds (TOF). There was no significant reduction in Vm (2.32 ± 1.1 L minute?1), Vt (124.1 ± 69.3 mL) and RR (10 ± 3.8 breaths minute?1) and no increase in Pe ′CO2 (6.5 ± 2.1 kPa (48.8 ± 16.1 mm Hg)) throughout the procedure. The eyeball rotated to a central position 35 ± 7 seconds after rocuronium IV and remained there for a minimum of 20 ± 7 minutes in all dogs. We conclude that rocuronium at a dose of 0.1 mg kg?1 can be administered to dogs IV with minimal changes in ventilatory variables. The eyeball is fixed in a central position for at least 20 minutes, which greatly facilitates clinical examination.  相似文献

ObjectiveTo determine whether neuromuscular blockade with rocuronium bromide (RB) would improve endotracheal intubation (EI) conditions in comparison with topical lidocaine hydrochloride (LH).Study designRandomized prospective study.AnimalsForty seven healthy cats of unspecified breed, aged 17 ± 11 months and weighing 2.8 ± 0.8 kg, undergoing elective procedures.MethodsAnesthesia was induced with xylazine (XZ) (1.1 mg kg?1 IM) and tiletamine‐zolazepam (XTZ) (7 mg kg?1 IM) and EI was attempted. Cats which could not be intubated at the first attempt (n = 34), were randomly medicated with either 0.1 mL LH 10% spray on the laryngeal mucosa (n = 17) or 0.6 mg kg?1 intravenous RB (n = 17). Sixty seconds later, a second attempt at EI was performed. The effect of both drugs was assessed using a previously published scale (Sandor Agoston). EI conditions associated with laryngoscopy, vocal cord position and movement, cough, patient movement, time and attempts needed in order to perform EI were recorded. Heart rate and end‐expired CO2 concentration were monitored.ResultsGroups were comparable in age, weight, gender and hematological parameters. Clinically acceptable EI conditions were not significantly different between RB and LH assisted groups (p = 0.31). However, there was a significant difference in cough, vocal cord movement and position between the RB and the LH groups. The group intubated at the first attempt and receiving neither RB nor LH coughed persistently (11/13). The cats receiving RB had to be ventilated for 10–28 minutes.Conclusions and clinical relevanceThe present study shows that, when used in cats anesthetized with XTZ, RB paralyzes the internal laryngeal muscles keeping the vocal cords in an intermediate position (paramedial) 60 seconds after being administered. RB is an effective alternative to LH to overcome the airway protective reflexes when performing EI but requires ventilatory support until the paralysis wears off.  相似文献

Objective To characterize intravenous anaesthesia with detomidine, ketamine and guaiphenesin in pregnant ponies. Animals Twelve pony mares, at 260–320 days gestation undergoing abdominal surgery to implant fetal and maternal vascular catheters. Materials and methods Pre‐anaesthetic medication with intravenous (IV) acepromazine (30 µg kg?1), butorphanol (20 µg kg?1) and detomidine (10 µg kg?1) preceded induction of anaesthesia with detomidine (10 µg kg?1) and ketamine (2 mg kg?1) IV Maternal arterial blood pressure was measured directly throughout anaesthesia and arterial blood samples were taken at 20‐minute intervals for measurement of blood gases and plasma concentrations of cortisol, glucose and lactate. Anaesthesia was maintained with an IV infusion of detomidine (0.04 mg mL?1), ketamine (4 mg mL?1) and guaiphenesin (100 mg mL?1) (DKG) for 140 minutes. Oxygen was supplied by intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) adjusted to maintain PaCO2 between 5.0 and 6.0 kPa (38 and 45 mm Hg), while PaO2 was kept close to 20.0 kPa (150 mm Hg) by adding nitrous oxide. Simultaneous fetal and maternal blood samples were withdrawn at 90 minutes. Recovery quality was assessed. Results DKG was infused at 0.67 ± 0.17 mL kg?1 hour?1 for 1 hour then reduced, reaching 0.28 ± 0.14 mL kg?1 hour?1 at 140 minutes. Arterial blood gas values and pH remained within intended limits. During anaesthesia there was no change in heart rate, but arterial blood pressure decreased by 10%. Plasma glucose and lactate increased (10‐fold and 2‐fold, respectively) and cortisol decreased by 50% during anaesthesia. Fetal umbilical venous pH, PO2 and PCO2 were 7.34 ± 0.06, 5.8 ± 0.9 kPa (44 ± 7 mm Hg) and 6.7 ± 0.8 kPa (50 ± 6 mm Hg); and fetal arterial pH, PO2 and PCO2 were 7.29 ± 0.06, 4.0 ± 0.7 kPa (30 ± 5 mm Hg) and 7.8 ± 1.7 kPa (59 ± 13 mm Hg), respectively. Surgical conditions were good but four ponies required a single additional dose of ketamine. Ponies took 60 ± 28 minutes to stand and recovery was good. Conclusions and clinical relevance Anaesthesia produced with DKG was smooth while cardiovascular function in mare and fetus was well preserved. This indicates that DKG infusion is suitable for maintenance of anaesthesia in pregnant equidae.  相似文献

Propofol anaesthesia for surgery in late gestation pony mares   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  
Objective To characterize propofol anaesthesia in pregnant ponies. Animals Fourteen pony mares, at 256 ± 49 days gestation, undergoing abdominal surgery to implant fetal and maternal vascular catheters. Materials and methods Pre‐anaesthetic medication with intravenous (IV) acepromazine (20 µg kg?1), butorphanol (20 µg kg?1) and detomidine (10 µg kg?1) was given 30 minutes before induction of anaesthesia with detomidine (10 µg kg?1) and ketamine (2 mg kg?1) IV Maternal arterial blood pressure was recorded (facial artery) throughout anaesthesia. Arterial blood gas values and plasma concentrations of glucose, lactate, cortisol and propofol were measured at 20‐minute intervals. Anaesthesia was maintained with propofol infused initially at 200 µg kg?1 minute?1, and at 130–180 µg kg?1 minute?1 after 60 minutes, ventilation was controlled with oxygen and nitrous oxide to maintain PaCO2 between 5.0 and 6.0 kPa (37.6 and 45.1 mm Hg) and PaO2 between 13.3 and 20.0 kPa (100 and 150.4 mm Hg). During anaesthesia flunixin (1 mg kg?1), procaine penicillin (6 IU) and butorphanol 80 µg kg?1 were given. Lactated Ringer's solution was infused at 10 mL kg?1 hour?1. Simultaneous fetal and maternal blood samples were withdrawn at 85–95 minutes. Recovery from anaesthesia was assisted. Results Arterial blood gas values remained within intended limits. Plasma propofol levels stabilized after 20 minutes (range 3.5–9.1 µg kg?1); disposition estimates were clearance 6.13 ± 1.51 L minute?1 (mean ± SD) and volume of distribution 117.1 ± 38.9 L (mean ± SD). Plasma cortisol increased from 193 ± 43 nmol L?1 before anaesthesia to 421 ± 96 nmol L?1 60 minutes after anaesthesia. Surgical conditions were excellent. Fetal umbilical venous pH, PO2 and PCO2 were 7.35 ± 0.04, 6.5 ± 0.5 kPa (49 ± 4 mm Hg) and 6.9 ± 0.5 kPa (52 ± 4 mm Hg); fetal arterial pH, PO2 and PCO2 were 7.29 ± 0.06, 3.3 ± 0.8 kPa (25 ± 6 mm Hg) and 8.7 ± 0.9 kPa (65 ± 7 mm Hg), respectively. Recovery to standing occurred at 46 ± 17 minutes, and was generally smooth. Ponies regained normal behaviour patterns immediately. Conclusions and clinical relevance Propofol anaesthesia was smooth with satisfactory cardiovascular function in both mare and fetus; we believe this to be a suitable anaesthetic technique for pregnant ponies.  相似文献

The role of ketamine (K) in pain management is controversial. It is reported to provide visceral analgesia in cats. This study aimed to assess its somatic actions using a thermal threshold (TT) model. Six cats (four spayed females, two castrated males, 4.3–7.2 kg) participated in the study. The day before each study, the thorax of each of the cats was shaved and a cephalic catheter was placed. TT was measured using a device specifically developed for cats. A heater element and temperature sensor housed in a small probe were held against the thorax of the cats with an elastic band and pressure bladder to assure consistent contact. The skin temperature was recorded before each test, then the heater was activated. When the cat responded by flinching, turning, or jumping, the stimulus was terminated and the threshold temperature was recorded. Treatments were 2 mg kg?1 of K (10 mg mL?1), or 0.2 mL kg?1 of saline (S) IV, given in a randomized cross‐over design with at least 1 week between treatments. The investigator was blinded to the treatment. TT was measured thrice before treatment (baseline threshold) at 15 minutes, then every 30 minutes for 8 hours and once at 24 hours after injection. Data were analyzed using a four‐factor anova . Cats were sedated for 45 minutes following K treatment. There was no difference in baseline TT between treatments (K = 41.9 ± 1.7 °C, S = 41.0 ± 1.45 °C), and no change in TT at any time in the S group. TT increased significantly at 15 and 30 minutes after K, then decreased below baseline values between 210 and 390 minutes, with a nadir of 38.8 ± ± 1.05 °C at 390 minutes. During this time period, cats exhibited normal activity, but responses to thermal stimuli were exaggerated. This study suggested that K caused a delayed onset hyperalgesia in cats.  相似文献

ObjectiveTo determine the induction doses, then minimum infusion rates of alfaxalone for total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA), and subsequent, cardiopulmonary effects, recovery characteristics and alfaxalone plasma concentrations in cats undergoing ovariohysterectomy after premedication with butorphanol-acepromazine or butorphanol-medetomidine.Study designProspective randomized blinded clinical study.AnimalsTwenty-eight healthy cats.MethodsCats undergoing ovariohysterectomy were assigned into two groups: together with butorphanol [0.2 mg kg?1 intramuscularly (IM)], group AA (n = 14) received acepromazine (0.1 mg kg?1 IM) and group MA (n = 14) medetomidine (20 μg kg?1 IM). Anaesthesia was induced with alfaxalone to effect [0.2 mg kg?1 intravenously (IV) every 20 seconds], initially maintained with 8 mg kg?1 hour?1 alfaxalone IV and infusion adjusted (±0.5 mg kg?1 hour?1) every five minutes according to alterations in heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (fR), Doppler blood pressure (DBP) and presence of palpebral reflex. Additional alfaxalone boli were administered IV if cats moved/swallowed (0.5 mg kg?1) or if fR >40 breaths minute?1 (0.25 mg kg?1). Venous blood samples were obtained to determine plasma alfaxalone concentrations. Meloxicam (0.2 mg kg?1 IV) was administered postoperatively. Data were analysed using linear mixed models, Chi-squared, Fishers exact and t-tests.ResultsAlfaxalone anaesthesia induction dose (mean ± SD), was lower in group MA (1.87 ± 0.5; group AA: 2.57 ± 0.41 mg kg?1). No cats became apnoeic. Intraoperative bolus requirements and TIVA rates (group AA: 11.62 ± 1.37, group MA: 10.76 ± 0.96 mg kg?1 hour?1) did not differ significantly between groups. Plasma concentrations ranged between 0.69 and 10.76 μg mL?1. In group MA, fR, end-tidal carbon dioxide, temperature and DBP were significantly higher and HR lower.Conclusion and clinical relevanceAlfaxalone TIVA in cats after medetomidine or acepromazine sedation provided suitable anaesthesia with no need for ventilatory support. After these premedications, the authors recommend initial alfaxalone TIVA rates of 10 mg kg?1 hour?1.  相似文献
