OBJECTIVE: To determine pharmacokinetic variables of mivacurium chloride after IV administration in dogs. ANIMALS: 5 healthy Labrador Retrievers. PROCEDURE: Anesthesia was induced with thiopental and maintained with halothane in oxygen. Dogs were ventilated mechanically to an end-tidal P(CO)2 value between 35 and 40 mm Hg. Heart rate, direct blood pressure, and arterial pH were recorded throughout the experiment. Core temperature, end-tidal P(CO)2, and halothane concentration were kept constant throughout the experiment. Paired blood samples for determination of plasma cholinesterase activity were collected prior to administration of a bolus of mivacurium (0.05 mg/kg of body weight), which was administered IV during a 2-second period. Arterial blood samples were obtained for determination of plasma mivacurium concentration 0, 1, 3, 5, 10, 30, 60, 120, 150, and 180 minutes after administration of mivacurium. Blood was collected into tubes containing EDTA and 0.25% echothiophate. Mivacurium concentration was determined, using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. RESULTS: For the trans-trans isomer, mean +/- SEM volume of distribution was 0.18+/-0.024 L/kg, median half-life was 34.9 minutes (range, 26.7 to 53.5 minutes), and clearance was 12+/-2 ml/min/kg. For the cis-trans isomer, values were 0.31+/-0.05 L/kg, 43.4 minutes (range, 31.5 to 69.3 minutes), and 15+/-2 ml/min/kg, respectively. Values for the cis-cis isomer were not calculated, because it was not detectable in plasma 60 minutes after mivacurium administration in all 5 dogs. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The transtrans and cis-trans isomers of mivacurium have a long half-life and slow clearance in healthy dogs anesthetized with halothane.  相似文献

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of xylazine as premedication on the onset time and duration of cisatracurium neuromuscular blockade in anaesthetized dogs. This study was carried out on 12 healthy dogs aged 0.5-6 years and weighing 9-26 kg undergoing various elective surgical procedures. The dogs were randomly divided into two groups of t (test) and c (control), with six dogs each. In group t, premedication was conducted using acepromazine maleate 0.3 mg kg(-1) and xylazine 0.3 mg kg(-1) and in group c only acepromazine (same dose) was injected intramuscularly 20 min before general anaesthesia. After induction with thiopental, anaesthesia was maintained with halothane in oxygen to deliver an end-tidal halothane concentration of 1.1%. Neuromuscular blockade was induced with cisatracurium 0.2 mg kg(-1) and monitored using the train-of-four (TOF) stimulation pattern applied at the ulnar nerve. The onset time of cisatracurium blockade was 195 +/- 85.44 s in test and 153.3 +/- 38.16 s in control group. The duration of neuromuscular blockade was 24.8 +/- 4.79 min in t and 28.3 +/- 5.46 min in the c group. Statistical analysis of the data showed no significant difference between groups in terms of onset and duration of neuromuscular blockade.  相似文献

cis-Atracurium in dogs with and without porto-systemic shunts   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking drug cis-atracurium in dogs with porto-systemic shunts, and to compare it in clinically normal animals. ANIMALS: Thirteen dogs of mixed breed and sex, aged between 3 and 31 months old, weighing 2.2-25.5 kg, with ASA physical status II-IV, and undergoing surgical attenuation of porto-systemic shunt. A control group of 11 bitches of mixed breed, between 8 and 60 months old, and weighing 4.5-41.0 kg, all ASA physical status I, undergoing routine ovarohysterectomy were also studied. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Pre-anaesthetic medication was an opioid analgesic, given either alone or in combination with acepromazine. Following induction of general anaesthesia with intravenous (IV) propofol and oro-tracheal intubation, anaesthesia was maintained using isoflurane in either oxygen or oxygen and nitrous oxide. Ventilation was controlled. The train of four (TOF) technique was used to monitor neuromuscular blockade. An initial dose of 0.1 mg kg(-1)cis-atracurium was given IV and additional doses of 0.03 mg kg(-1)cis-atracurium were administered when at least one twitch of the TOF was present. RESULTS: Except for one dog that was killed during surgery because its anomaly was inoperable, all animals recovered satisfactorily from anaesthesia and surgery. In dogs with porto-systemic shunt, onset of neuromuscular blockade was 3.1 +/- 1.1 minutes (mean +/- SD) and in control dogs was 3.4 +/- 0.7 minutes (not significantly different). Neuromuscular blockade lasted 34 +/- 13 minutes in dogs with porto-systemic shunt and 29 +/- 17 minutes in control dogs (not significantly different). CONCLUSIONS: The presence of porto-systemic shunt did not affect the rate of onset or duration of action of cis-atracurium. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: cis-Atracurium may have a use in veterinary anaesthesia for producing neuromuscular blockade in dogs with hepatic insufficiency, including those with porto-systemic shunt.  相似文献

This study determined the effects of intravenous ampicillin, cefazolin, and cefoxitin on blood pressures and heart rates in healthy, anesthetized dogs. Forty dogs were each randomly assigned to a control, ampicillin, cefazolin, or cefoxitin group. Antibiotics or saline was delivered by intravenous bolus prior to surgical stimulation. Heart rate; systolic, mean, and diastolic arterial pressures; oxygen saturation; end-tidal halothane; and end-tidal carbon dioxide (CO2) were recorded before and every minute for 10 minutes after the test drug was administered. No significant differences were recorded between the antibiotic and control groups. The prophylactic use of these antibiotics should be considered safe in healthy, anesthetized dogs.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To examine the effect of 64% nitrous oxide (N2O) on halothane (HAL), isoflurane (ISO) or sevoflurane (SEV) requirements in dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomy. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective, randomized, clinical trial. ANIMALS: Ninety, healthy dogs of (mean +/- SD) body weight 21.2 +/- 10.0 kg and age 17.8 +/- 22.8 months. MATERIALS AND METHODS: After premedication with acepromazine, hydromorphone and glycopyrrolate, anesthesia was induced with thiopental administered to effect. Dogs received one of six inhalant protocols (n = 15 group): HAL; HAL/N2O; ISO; ISO/N2O; SEV; or SEV/N2O. End-tidal CO2 was maintained at 40 +/- 2 mmHg with intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV). Body temperature, heart rate, indirect systemic arterial blood pressures, inspired and end-tidal CO2, volatile agent, N2O and O2 were recorded every 5 minutes. The vaporizer setting was decreased in 0.25-0.5% decrements to elicit a palpebral reflex, and this level maintained. Statistical analysis included two-way anova for repeated measures with Bonferroni's correction factor and statistical significance assumed when p < 0.05. Percentage reduction in end-tidal volatile agent was calculated at 60 minutes after starting study. RESULTS: End-tidal HAL, ISO and SEV decreased when N2O was administered. Percentage reduction: HAL (12.4%); ISO (37.1%) and SEV (21.4%). Diastolic, mean and systolic blood pressures increased in ISO/N2O compared with ISO. Heart rate increased in ISO/N2O and SEV/N2O compared with ISO and SEV, respectively. Systolic, mean and diastolic blood pressures increased in SEV compared with HAL and ISO. Systolic, mean, diastolic blood pressures and heart rate increased in SEV/N2O and ISO/N2O compared with HAL/N2O. CONCLUSIONS: N2O reduces HAL, ISO and SEV requirements in dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomy. Cardiovascular stimulation occurred when N2O was used with ISO, less so with SEV and not with HAL  相似文献

A fluorescein angiography method was developed to compare the onset and the total duration of the fluorangiographic phases between three anaesthetic protocols in six healthy mixed-breed dogs. The animals were anaesthetized three times. Each dog received, as pre-anaesthetic protocol, atropine (10 micrograms/kg intramuscularly), and as a sedative, romifidine (80 micrograms/kg intravenously). Fifteen minutes later, induction of anaesthesia was delivered with propofol (1 mg/kg intravenously) and maintained either with sevoflurane (SEVO group), isoflurane (ISO group) or halothane (HAL group) for 30 min in all cases. Some angiographic, cardiovascular and respiratory variables were registered during the procedure. Recovery times were also registered. Angiographic variables recorded were: onset of the arterial phase (TA), onset of the arteriovenous phase (TAV), onset of the venous phase (TV), complete arterial phase duration (I1), complete arteriovenous phase duration (I2) and I1 plus I2 (I3). Mean heart rate, mean arterial pressure, systolic arterial pressure, diastolic arterial pressure, respiratory rate, tidal volume, arterial oxygen saturation and end-tidal CO2 during SEVO and ISO anaesthesia, were similar in dogs. Minute ventilation and rectal temperature were higher in dogs with SEVO than ISO. HAL produced higher arterial pressures and a lower arterial oxygen saturation than ISO and SEVO. Mean respiratory rate, rectal temperature and minute ventilation were higher in HAL. Pulse rate, end-tidal CO2 and tidal volume were similar in the dogs of the three groups. No differences in recovery times were found. The fluorescein angiographic times were within the normal range. There were no significant differences between protocols in I1, I2 or I3. HAL produced a significant increase of all temporal variables (TA, TAV and TV) when compared with ISO; TA was higher in HAL than SEVO-treated dogs. All protocols appear to be safe and effective for inducing and maintaining general anaesthesia in healthy dogs for performing fluorescein angiography.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate cardiopulmonary effects of one-lung ventilation (OLV) versus two-lung ventilation (TLV) in closed-chest anesthetized dogs. STUDY DESIGN: Controlled, randomized experiment. ANIMALS: Fourteen, 2- to 7-year-old adult dogs, weighing 23 +/- 6 kg. METHODS: The dogs were anesthetized with acepromazine, morphine, thiopental, and halothane in oxygen, ventilated, and paralyzed with vecuronium. Tidal volume was 10 mL/kg. Respiratory rate was set to maintain end-tidal CO2 (ETCO2) at 40 +/- 2 mm Hg before instrumentation then not changed. The left bronchus of 7 dogs was obstructed with a Univent bronchial blocker (Fuji Systems Corp, Tokyo, Japan). Blood gas analysis and hemodynamic measurements were taken at predetermined intervals for 1 hour in the TLV group and at baseline and following bronchial obstruction in the OLV group. RESULTS: Shunt fraction was not significantly different between groups, but in OLV shunt increased from baseline at 5 minutes. Arterial oxygen (PaO2) decreased after baseline in OLV compared with TLV. Arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2) increased with OLV and decreased with TLV. In OLV, systemic vascular resistance was variable and decreased compared with TLV. Cardiac index increased over time in both groups but was not affected by treatment. Heart rate, mean arterial pressure, and diastolic arterial pressure increased with OLV compared with TLV but did not change over time. CONCLUSION: This study shows that OLV statistically decreases oxygen tension and transiently increases shunt fraction, but with 100% O2 it appears to be a feasible procedure with minimal cardiopulmonary side effects in healthy dogs. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: OLV is a feasible procedure in anesthetized dogs to better facilitate thoracic procedures such as bronchopleural fistula repair and thoracoscopy.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To compare the constant rate infusion (CRI) of vecuronium required to maintain a level of neuromuscular blockade adequate for major surgeries, e.g. thoracotomy or laparotomy, in dogs anaesthetized with a CRI of fentanyl and either propofol, isoflurane or sevoflurane. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective, randomized, cross-over study. ANIMALS: Thirteen male beagles (age, 9-22 months; body mass 6.3-11.3 kg). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Dogs were anaesthetized with propofol (24 mg kg(-1) hour(-1) IV CRI; group P), isoflurane (1.3% end-tidal concentration; group I) or sevoflurane (2.3% end-tidal concentration; group S) with fentanyl (5 microg kg(-1) hour(-1) IV, CRI). Sixty to seventy minutes after induction of anaesthesia, vecuronium was administered at a rate of 0.4, 0.3 and 0.2 mg kg(-1) hour(-1) in groups P, I and S respectively. To determine the degree of neuromuscular block, a peripheral nerve was stimulated electrically using the train-of-four (TO4) stimulus pattern. Evoked muscle contractions were evaluated using a neuromuscular monitoring device. Once the TO4 ratio reached 0, the continuous infusion rate was decreased and adjusted to maintain a TO4 count of 1. Continuous infusion was continued for 2 hours. The infusion rate of vecuronium was recorded 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 and 120 minutes after the start of infusion. RESULTS: The mean continuous infusion rates of vecuronium during stable infusion were 0.22 +/- 0.04 (mean +/- SD), 0.10 +/- 0.02 and 0.09 +/- 0.02 mg kg(-1) hour(-1) in groups P, I and S respectively. There were statistically significant differences between the rates in groups P and I and between the rates in groups P and S. Conclusions and clinical relevance In healthy dogs, the recommended maintenance infusion rate of vecuronium is 0.2 mg kg(-1) hour(-1) under CRI propofol-fentanyl anaesthesia and 0.1 mg kg(-1) hour(-1) during CRI fentanyl-isoflurane or sevoflurane anaesthesia.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To quantify the neuromuscular blockade (NMB) produced by atracurium in either sevoflurane or propofol-anaesthetized dogs. ANIMALS: Twelve healthy, female adult mixed-breed dogs weighing 13 +/- 3 kg (range 10-22 kg). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Three doses of atracurium (0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 mg kg(-1)) were tested at 1-week intervals. Anaesthesia was induced with inhaled sevoflurane or intravenous propofol and maintained with end-tidal sevoflurane concentrations of 1.95% (1.25 x MAC) or propofol 0.6 mg kg(-1) minute(-1) respectively. Acceleromyography and train-of-four stimulation of the fibular nerve were used for the assessment of NMB. The percentage depression of the first twitch (T1) and the fourth to the first twitch ratio (T4/T1), the maximum degree of neuromuscular block achieved and surgical muscle relaxation were recorded. Before and during neuro muscular blockade (at 10 minute intervals) body temperature, ECG, arterial blood pressure, inspired and expired CO2 concentrations and SpO2 were recorded. RESULTS: Atracurium produced a dose-dependent duration of NMB in both propofol and sevoflurane-anaesthetized dogs. Duration of block was longer in dogs anaesthetized with sevoflurane. All studied doses of atracurium caused twitch depression > or =95% with little or no cardiovascular changes. CONCLUSIONS: Sevoflurane produces a clinically relevant potentiation of atracurium-induced NMB in dogs compared with propofol. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Significant differences in the potentiation of NMB drugs are encountered with commonly used anaesthetics in the dog.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: A clinical trial to determine whether continuous infusion administration technique was suitable for maintaining neuromuscular blockade with rocuronium bromide in dogs. ANIMALS: Twenty-two dogs, 10 males and 12 females, median age 2 years 4 months, median weight 32 kg undergoing elective surgical procedures under general anaesthesia: ASA classification I or II. MATERIALS AND METHODS: After induction of anaesthesia, neuromuscular function was evaluated using train-of-four (TOF) stimulation of the dorsal buccal branch of the facial nerve. A bolus dose of 0.5 mg kg(-1) rocuronium was administered intravenously and an infusion of 0.2 mg kg(-1) hour(-1) was started immediately. Neuromuscular blockade was assessed visually by counting the number of twitches observed during TOF stimulation repeated at 10-second intervals. RESULTS: The bolus dose of rocuronium abolished the response to TOF stimulation in 21 of the 22 dogs. The median onset time of neuromuscular blockade (complete loss of all four twitches) was 82 seconds (range 38-184 seconds). Median infusion duration was 76 minutes (range 20.3-146 minutes). CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This protocol of rocuronium administration was considered to be effective in dogs. Constant infusion of rocuronium is easily applicable to clinical practice and further work is required on infusion titration.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether hyoscine has a sparing effect on the volume of dobutamine required to maintain mean arterial pressure (MAP) at 70 mmHg in horses anaesthetized with halothane. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial. ANIMALS: Twenty adult horses weighing 507 +/- 97 kg (mean +/- SD), aged 10 +/- 5 years. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Pre-anaesthetic medication in all horses was intramuscular (IM) acepromazine (40 mug kg(-1)) and intravenous (IV) detomidine (0.02 mg kg(-1)). Anaesthesia was induced with ketamine (2.2 mg kg(-1) IV) and diazepam (0.02 mg kg(-1) IV), and maintained with halothane in oxygen. Horses breathed spontaneously. Flunixin (1.1 mg kg(-1) IV) was given to provide analgesia. Heart rate, ECG, invasive arterial pressure, respiratory rate, percentage end-tidal carbon dioxide, percentage end-tidal halothane and partial pressure of oxygen and carbon dioxide in arterial blood and blood pH were monitored. Dobutamine was infused by an infusion pump to maintain MAP at 70 mmHg. Horses were randomly assigned to receive saline or hyoscine (0.1 mg kg(-1)) IV 30 minutes after induction. The heart rate, MAP and volume of dobutamine infused over 30-minute periods were measured and analysed statistically using a one-way anova. RESULTS: After administration of hyoscine, heart rate increased for 10 minutes (p < 0.01) and MAP for 5 minutes (p < 0.01). There was no difference in the volume of dobutamine infused over 30 minutes between horses given hyoscine or saline, although there was a wide individual variation in dobutamine requirements. No side effects of hyoscine were seen. CONCLUSIONS: The increase in heart rate and blood pressure that occurs after 0.1 mg kg(-1) hyoscine is given IV in anaesthetized horses, is of short duration and does not significantly alter the amount of dobutamine required to maintain arterial pressure over the next 30 minutes. Clinical relevance The short duration of action of 0.1 mg kg(-1) hyoscine IV may limit its usefulness for correction of hypotension in horses anaesthetized with halothane. Further work is necessary to investigate the effects of higher or repeated doses or constant rate infusions of hyoscine.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether rocuronium, a reversible neuromuscular blocking agent, would provide safe, short-term immobilization to facilitate endotracheal intubation in turtles. DESIGN: Prospective study. ANIMALS: 30 healthy adult Gulf Coast box turtles. PROCEDURE: Turtles were given rocuronium, and responses were recorded every 3 minutes. Times to onset of effects, intubation, and recovery were recorded and analyzed for associations with dose and patient characteristics to determine an optimal dose range. Neostigmine and glycopyrrolate were given to augment recovery from neuromuscular blockade. RESULTS: Rocuronium administered at a dose of 0.25 to 0.5 mg/kg (0.11 to 0.23 mg/lb), IM, permitted intubation; lower doses were not effective. Mean +/- SD time to loss of the palpebral reflex was 6.4 +/- 4.0 minutes, and mean time to intubation was 9.2 +/- 6.4 minutes. Mean time to return of the palpebral reflex was 44 +/- 13.2 minutes, and mean time to walking was 55 +/- 16.6 minutes. Time to onset of effects was not associated with dose, but recovery times were prolonged with higher doses of rocuronium. Cardiac arrhythmias were observed in 13 (43%) turtles. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Administration of rocuronium at a dose of 0.25 to 0.5 mg/kg is a safe and effective adjunct to general anesthesia in Gulf Coast box turtles. Because rocuronium does not provide any analgesic or sedative effects, the duration of neuromuscular blockade without anesthesia should be minimized to avoid undue distress.  相似文献

ObjectiveTo compare n. facialis-m. nasolabialis (nF-mNL) and n. ulnar-mm. carpi flexorii (nU-mCF) sensitivity to vecuronium during halothane or isoflurane anaesthesia.Study designRandomized, prospective, experimental study.AnimalsForty-four client-owned dogs (19 male, 25 female) undergoing surgery; mean age: 5.0 years; mean body mass: 24.7 kg.MethodsThirty minutes after acepromazine (0.05 mg kg?1) and morphine (0.5 mg kg?1), anaesthesia was induced with intravenous (IV) thiopental and maintained with either halothane (n = 22) or isoflurane (randomly allocated) in oxygen. The lungs were mechanically ventilated and end-tidal inhaled anaesthetic (Fe’IAA) maintained at 1.2 × MAC values. Neuromuscular transmission at nF-uNL and nU-mCF was monitored using the train of four count. Vecuronium (50 μg kg?1 IV) was injected (t = 0) after 15 trains, 50-60 minutes after inhalational anaesthesia began, when Fe’IAA had been constant for >15 minutes. Times of the disappearance (-) and reappearance (+) of the fourth (T4) and first twitch (T1) were recorded allowing the calculation of: latent (t = 0 to T4-) and manifest onset times (t = 0 to T1-) duration of blockade (T1- to T1+) and drug effect (T4- to T4+) and recovery time (T1+-T4+). Student’s paired t-test was used to compare simultaneous responses at nF-uNL and nU-mCF. An unpaired t-test was used to compare anaesthetic effects.ResultsLatent and manifest onset times were significantly (p < 0.05) briefer, blockade and drug effects were significantly longer and recovery from blockade were significantly slower in the nF-mNL unit in both halothane and isoflurane recipients. Profound block duration and drug action were significantly longer and recovery from blockade were significantly slower in halothane recipients at both nerve-muscle units.Conclusion and clinical relevanceThe nF-mNL was more sensitive than nU-mCF to vecuronium, particularly in halothane-anaesthetized dogs.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To compare 3 types of noxious stimuli applied to various anatomic areas of anesthetized dogs and rabbits for determination of the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC). ANIMALS: 10 dogs and 10 rabbits. PROCEDURE: Dogs were anesthetized with isoflurane and halothane in a randomized order. Rabbits were anesthetized with isoflurane. The MAC was determined by skin incision on the lateral aspect of the chest; clamping of the tail, paw of the forelimb, and paw of the hind limb; and application of electrical current to the oral mucosa (dogs only), forelimb, and hind limb. The MAC was the end-tidal concentration midway between the value permitting and preventing purposeful movement in response to noxious stimuli. RESULTS: In dogs, mean +/- SEM MAC for isoflurane was 1.27 +/- 0.05% for clamping stimuli, 1.36 +/- 0.04% for oral electrical stimulation, 1.35 +/- 0.04% for electrical stimulation to the limbs, and 1.01 +/- 0.07% for surgical incision. The MAC for halothane was 0.97 +/- 0.03% for tail clamping, 0.96 +/- 0.03% for clamping of the limbs, 1.04 +/- 0.03% for electrical stimulation, and 0.75 +/- 0.06% for surgical incision. In rabbits, MAC for isoflurane was 2.08 +/- 0.02% for clamping stimuli, 2.04 +/- 0.02% for electrical stimulation, and 0.90 +/- 0.02% for surgical incision. The MAC for surgical incision was significantly lower than values for the other methods in both species. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Use of electrical current and clamping techniques resulted in similar MAC values. Surgical incision underestimated MAC values in dogs and rabbits.  相似文献

Epinephrine-induced ventricular arrhythmias were studied in 8 dogs anesthetized at weekly intervals with halothane (1.09% end-tidal concentration) preceded by thiamylal or thiopental (20 mg/kg of body weight). Lead II, bundle of His and high right atrial electrograms, and femoral artery and airway pressures were recorded. Epinephrine was infused in logarithmically spaced increasing rates (initial rate = 0.25 micrograms/kg/min) for a maximum of 2.5 minutes. The maximal (greater than or equal to 4 ventricular premature depolarizations within 15 s of each other) and minimal (all other ventricular or junctional rhythms) arrhythmogenic doses were calculated (infusion rate X time to arrhythmia). The mean (+/- SD) minimal arrhythmogenic dosages for the thiamylal-halothane, thiopental-halothane, and halothane-only groups were 1.84 +/- 0.66, 1.83 +/- 0.64, and 3.69 +/- 1.32 micrograms/kg, respectively; the mean (+/- SD) maximal arrhythmogenic dosages were 2.32 +/- 0.77, 3.37 +/- 1.30, and 8.86 +/- 4.40 micrograms/kg, respectively, with no change after 4 hours of anesthesia. During infusion of the maximal arrhythmogenic dosages, the mean infusion of the maximal arrhythmogenic dosages, the mean percentage increase in serum K+ for thiamylal-halothane, thiopental-halothane, and halothane-only groups was 33 +/- 14%, 31 +/- 13%, and 38 +/- 18%, respectively.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the onset and duration of neuromuscular blockade of rocuronium bromide and its associated haemodynamic effects at three doses in healthy horses. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective, randomized experimental study. ANIMALS: Seven adult horses aged 3-20 (mean 10.3) years and weighing 466 +/- 44 (mean +/- SD) kg. METHODS: Horses were anaesthetized three times with at least 2 weeks between. They were pre-medicated with 0.6 mg kg(-1) xylazine and 0.01 mg kg(-1) butorphanol i.v.. Anaesthesia was induced with 2.2 mg kg(-1) ketamine and 0.1 mg kg(-1) diazepam i.v.. Following orotracheal intubation anaesthesia was maintained with isoflurane in 100% oxygen. Intermittent positive pressure ventilation was initiated and the horses were ventilated at a respiratory rate (fr) of 4-8 breaths minute(-1). Neuromuscular function was monitored with an acceleromyograph. The peroneal nerve was stimulated with train-of-four (TOF) mode at 2 Hz every 15 seconds. Each horse received, in randomly assigned order, one of the three doses of rocuronium: 0.2 mg kg(-1) (D02), 0.4 mg kg(-1) (D04) or 0.6 mg kg(-1) (D06) i.v.. Lag time, onset time, time of no response, duration of action and the TOF ratio 0.7 and 0.9 were measured. Recovery time (T1(25-75)) was calculated. Vital parameters were recorded at 5-minute intervals on a standard anaesthetic record form. RESULTS: Rocuronium produced a dose-dependent duration of action in isoflurane-anaesthetized horses. 100% block was observed in D04 and D06 but not in D02, in which the maximum decrease of the first twitch of TOF attained was 91.5 +/- 16.5%. Time to T1(25) was 13.1 +/- 5.5 minutes, 38.6 +/- 10.1 minutes and 55 +/- 9.8 minutes in D02, D04 and D06 respectively. There was a significantly shorter time for TOFR 0.9 with 0.2 mg kg(-1) compared with 0.4 and 0.6 mg kg(-1) rocuronium. T1(25-75) in D04 and D6 was not statistically significantly different. Heart rate, systolic, diastolic and mean arterial blood pressure increased slightly during the observation period. CONCLUSION: Rocuronium is an effective nondepolarizing muscle relaxant in horses under isoflurane anaesthesia. It had a dose-dependent onset and duration of action. Rocuronium did not produce significant changes in the measured cardiovascular parameters.  相似文献

Objective The aim of this study was to characterize the onset and duration of action of the aminosteroid muscle relaxant rocuronium in dogs under clinical conditions. Study design Prospective single dose trial. Animals Twenty‐three dogs aged between 6 months and 12 years, weighing between 5.5 and 61.5 kg admitted to the University of Liverpool Small Animal Hospital between January and March 2000, and undergoing elective surgical procedures under general anaesthesia. Materials and methods Following induction of general anaesthesia, neuromuscular function was evaluated using train‐of‐four (TOF) stimulation. An initial dose of 0.4 mg kg?1 rocuronium was administered intravenously (IV) and neuromuscular blockade was monitored by visually assessing the number of responses (twitches) to TOF stimulation (train‐of‐four count: TOFC). Incremental doses of 0.16 mg kg?1 rocuronium were administered as indicated, when at least two twitches of the TOFC had returned. Results Rocuronium (0.4 mg kg?1) abolished all responses to TOF stimulation in all dogs. The mean time to onset of neuromuscular blockade (complete abolition of all twitches) was 98 ± 52 seconds. Neuromuscular blockade (absence of all twitches to return of all four) lasted 32.3 ± 8.2 minutes. Incremental doses of 0.16 mg kg?1 had a mean duration of action of 20.8 ± 4.9 minutes and up to seven increments were shown to be noncumulative. The effects of rocuronium were readily antagonized with neostigmine and atropine. Small transient increases in arterial blood pressure, which occurred in three dogs after the administration of rocuronium, were the only cardiovascular side‐effects observed. Conclusions Rocuronium is an effective nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent in the dog, with a rapid onset of neuromuscular block after intravenous administration and an intermediate duration of action. Clinical relevance Rocuronium produced a neuromuscular block with similar characteristics to those obtained with vecuronium, thus apparently offering little advantage over vecuronium. However, its availability in aqueous solution and a longer shelf‐life increases convenience.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the hemodynamic effects of dobutamine hydrochloride (0.5 microg/kg of body weight/min) in halothane-anesthetized horses. ANIMALS: 6 adult Thoroughbred horses. PROCEDURE: Anesthesia was induced by use of romifidine (100 microg/kg) and ketamine (2.2 mg/kg), IV. Anesthesia was maintained by halothane (end-tidal concentration 0.9 to 1.0%). Aortic, left ventricular, and right atrial pressures were measured, using catheter-mounted strain gauge transducers. Cardiac output (CO), velocity time integral, maximal aortic blood flow velocity and acceleration, and left ventricular preejection period and ejection time were measured from aortic velocity waveforms obtained by transesophageal Doppler echocardiography. Velocity waveforms were recorded from the femoral vessels, using Doppler ultrasonography. The time-averaged mean velocity and early diastolic deceleration slope (EDDS) were measured. Pulsatility index (PI) and volumetric flow were calculated. Microvascular perfusion was measured in the semimembranosus muscles by laser Doppler flowmetry. Data were recorded 60 minutes after induction of anesthesia (control) and at 15 and 30 minutes after start of an infusion of dobutamine (0.5 microg/kg/min). RESULTS: Aortic pressures were significantly increased during the infusion of dobutamine. No change was observed in the indices of left ventricular systolic function including CO. Femoral arterial flow significantly increased, and the PI and EDDS decreased. No change was observed in the femoral venous flow or in microvascular perfusion. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: At this dosage, dobutamine did not alter left ventricular systolic function. Femoral blood flow was preferentially increased as the result of local vasodilatation. The lack of effect of dobutamine on microvascular perfusion suggests that increased femoral flow is not necessarily associated with improved perfusion of skeletal muscles.  相似文献

ObjectiveTo quantify the effects of medetomidine on the onset and duration of vecuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade in dogs.Study designRandomized, prospective clinical study.AnimalsTwenty-four, healthy, client-owned dogs of different breeds, aged between 6 months and 10 years and weighing between 5.0 and 40.0 kg undergoing elective surgery.MethodsDogs were randomly allocated to two groups. Pre-anaesthetic medication in group M+ was intramuscular acepromazine (ACP) 25 μg kg−1, morphine 0.5 mg kg−1 and medetomidine 5 μg kg−1. Group M− received ACP and morphine only, at the same dose rate. After induction with thiopental, anaesthesia was maintained with halothane in oxygen and nitrous oxide. End-tidal halothane concentration was maintained at 1.1%. Neuromuscular blockade was produced with intravenous vecuronium (50 μg kg−1) and monitored using a train of four stimulus applied at the ulnar nerve. The times taken for loss and reappearance of the four evoked responses (twitches [T]) were recorded. Normal and nonparametric data were analysed with an independent t-test and Mann-Whitney's U-test, respectively.ResultsThe fourth twitch (T4) disappeared at similar times in each group: 107 ± 19; [72–132] (mean ± SD; [range]) seconds in M+ and 98 ± 17 [72–120] seconds in M− dogs. The first twitch (T1) was lost at 116 ± 15; [96–132] seconds in group M+ and 109 ± 19; [72–132] seconds in M−. The fourth twitch returned significantly earlier in M+ dogs: 20.8 ± 3.8 [14–28] minutes compared with 23.8 ± 2.7 [20–27] minutes (p = 0.032). The duration of drug effect (T4 absent) was significantly shorter (p = 0.027) in M+ (18.9 ± 3.7 minutes) compared with M− dogs (22.2 ± 2.9 minutes). The recovery rate (interval between reappearance of T1 and T4) was significantly more rapid (p = 0.0003) in medetomidine recipients (3.0 ± 1.2 versus 5.2 ± 1.3 minutes).Conclusion and clinical relevance Medetomidine 5 μg kg−1 as pre-anaesthetic medication shortened the duration of effect of vecuronium in halothane-anaesthetized dogs and accelerated recovery, but did not affect the onset time. These changes are of limited clinical significance.  相似文献
