The effect of premedication with four different intramuscular doses of medetomidine (5.0,10.0, 20.0 and 40.0 μg.kg-1) and a saline placebo were compared in a group of six adult beagle dogs anaesthetised with propofol on five separate occasions. Anaesthesia was induced 30 minutes after premedication and maintained by intravenous injection and continuous infusion of propofol. The effects of medetomidine were reversed with atipamezole 30 minutes after anaesthetic induction. The marked synergistic effects of medetomidine with propofol were demonstrated by a dose related reduction in the induction and infusion requirements for a similar degree of anaesthesia. The effect appeared exponential in nature; lower medetomidine doses produced a disproportionately greater effect.
The maintenance of anaesthesia with propofol following a saline placebo or low doses of medetomidine proved to be difficult. Higher doses of medetomidine required less propofol for induction and infusion and allowed a more stable anaesthesia to be maintained. Propofol produced no statistically significant change in heart rate during infusion. Changes in respiratory rate were markedly group specific. A significant reduction in respiratory rate was seen in dogs given either 5 μg.kg- or 10 μ-g.kg-1 medetomidine. No change was recorded in dogs given 20 /μg.kg-1 medetomidine and a significant increase was seen in dogs given 40 μg.kg-1 medetomidine. Recovery was monitored following the termination of propofol infusion after the reversal of medetomidine using atipamezole at five times the medetomidine dose. Recovery was slower for dogs given lower doses of medetomidine and consequently higher doses of propofol.  相似文献

Propofol by infusion was administered to 6 adult beagle dogs on 2 separate occasions. The dogs received either no premedication or 20 μg/kg im medetomidine 15 min before induction of anaesthesia, with propofol given at 7 mg/kg/min to permit tracheal intubation. After tracheal intubation the infusion rate was maintained for 120 min at 0.4 mg/kg/min in the non-premedicated, and 0.2 mg/kg/min in the premedicated dogs. The latter group received atipamezole 50 μg/kg im immediately at the end of the infusion. After induction of anaesthesia, a 7F balloon catheter designed for thermal dilution measurement of cardiac output was inserted via the right jugular vein. Blood propofol concentrations were measured by HPLC with fluorescence detection and kinetic variables calculated using non-compartmental moment analysis. The induction dose of propofol was 7.00 (sem 0.55) mg/kg in non-premedicated compared with 3.09 (0.25) mg/kg in premedicated dogs. There were differences in systemic clearance and mean residence time (MRTiv); 47.5 (6.2) ml/kg/min vs 29.0 (4.4) ml/kg/min (non-premedicated vs premedicated) and 132.3 (5.2) min vs 152.4 (3.1) min (P < 0.02 and P < 0.001, respectively). Cardiorespiratory effects were similar in the 2 groups although heart rate was lower in the premedicated dogs. Venous admixture was high (20–45%) but similar in the 2 groups.  相似文献

This study was performed to evaluate clinically the level of analgesia obtained during fibre optic gastroduodenal examination with an anaesthetic regimen consisting of 1000 μg/m2b.s.a. medetomidine premedica-tion (equivalent to 30–50 μg/kg b.w, IM) followed by induction and maintenance of anaesthesia with propofol (1–2 mg/kg, IV), with spontaneous respiration of room air. Following premedication, all the dogs (n=20) were connected to an E.C.G. monitor (lead II) and a femoral artery catheter was placed for continuous recording of blood pressure and to allow sampling for arterial blood gas analysis. The mean values for heart rate and arterial blood pressure following medetomidine administration were 55 b.p.m. and 121 mm Hg, respectively, and these values remained unchanged during the procedure. Blood gas data all remained within physiological limits. Fibre optic gastroduodenoscopy could be performed without the occurrence of “pain” responses. In all but one dog, the pyloric sphincter was relaxed and it was easy to pass the endoscope into the duodenum. All the dogs recovered rapidly and smoothly from anaesthesia, following administration of atipamezole 2500 μg/m2 b.s.a. (equivalent to 75–125 μg/kg b.w.) IM to reverse the effects of the medetomidine.  相似文献

The cardio-respiratory, general and acid-base balance effects induced by medetomidine- butorphanol-midazolam anaesthesia in dogs and its reversal with atipamezole were evaluated. Medetomidine (1000/μg/m2, IM) premedication induced a decrease in body temperature, heart rate, systolic arterial blood pressure (SAP), arterial and venous oxygen pressure (PaO2 & PvO2), blood pH, Cortisol and insulin as well as potassium levels with all recorded changes remaining within normal ranges. Induction with a mixture of butorphanol (0.1 mg/kg) and midazolam (1.0 mg/kg) intravenously did not affect any of these parameters. Reversal with atipamezole (5000 μg/m2, IM) administered one hour after the medetomidine injection, reversed the trend in heart rate, the decline in body temperature, insulin and Cortisol serum levels. A mild decrease in arterial systolic and diastolic blood pressures were noted whereas other relevant parameters remained unchanged.  相似文献

ObjectiveTo investigate the impact of intramuscular (IM) co-administration of the peripheral α2-adrenoceptor agonist vatinoxan (MK-467) with medetomidine and butorphanol prior to intravenous (IV) ketamine on the cardiopulmonary and anaesthetic effects in dogs, followed by atipamezole reversal.Study designRandomized, masked crossover study.AnimalsA total of eight purpose-bred Beagle dogs aged 3 years.MethodsEach dog was instrumented and administered two treatments 2 weeks apart: medetomidine (20 μg kg–1) and butorphanol (100 μg kg–1) premedication with vatinoxan (500 μg kg–1; treatment MVB) or without vatinoxan (treatment MB) IM 20 minutes before IV ketamine (4 mg kg–1). Atipamezole (100 μg kg–1) was administered IM 60 minutes after ketamine. Heart rate (HR), mean arterial (MAP) and central venous (CVP) pressures and cardiac output (CO) were measured; cardiac (CI) and systemic vascular resistance (SVRI) indices were calculated before and 10 minutes after MVB or MB, and 10, 25, 40, 55, 70 and 100 minutes after ketamine. Data were analysed with repeated measures analysis of covariance models. A p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Sedation, induction, intubation and recovery scores were assessed.ResultsAt most time points, HR and CI were significantly higher, and SVRI and CVP significantly lower with MVB than with MB. With both treatments, SVRI and MAP decreased after ketamine, whereas HR and CI increased. MAP was significantly lower with MVB than with MB; mild hypotension (57–59 mmHg) was recorded in two dogs with MVB prior to atipamezole administration. Sedation, induction, intubation and recovery scores were not different between treatments, but intolerance to the endotracheal tube was observed earlier with MVB.Conclusions and clinical relevanceHaemodynamic performance was improved by vatinoxan co-administration with medetomidine–butorphanol, before and after ketamine administration. However, vatinoxan was associated with mild hypotension after ketamine with the dose used in this study. Vatinoxan shortened the duration of anaesthesia.  相似文献

ObjectiveTo compare the haemodynamic effects of three premedicant regimens during propofol-induced isoflurane anaesthesia.Study designProspective, randomized cross-over study.AnimalsEight healthy purpose-bred beagles aged 4 years and weighing mean 13.6 ± SD 1.9 kg.MethodsThe dogs were instrumented whilst under isoflurane anaesthesia prior to each experiment, then allowed to recover for 60 minutes. Each dog was treated with three different premedications given intravenously (IV): medetomidine 10 μg kg?1 (MED), medetomidine 10 μg kg?1 with MK-467 250 μg kg?1 (MMK), or acepromazine 0.01 mg kg?1 with butorphanol 0.3 mg kg?1 (AB). Anaesthesia was induced 20 minutes later with propofol and maintained with isoflurane in oxygen for 60 minutes. Heart rate (HR), cardiac output, arterial blood pressures (ABP), central venous pressure (CVP), respiratory rate, inspired oxygen fraction, rectal temperature (RT) and bispectral index (BIS) were measured and arterial and venous blood gases analyzed. Cardiac index (CI), systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI), oxygen delivery index (DO2I), systemic oxygen consumption index (VO2I) and oxygen extraction (EO2) were calculated. Times to extubation, righting, sternal recumbency and walking were recorded. The differences between treatment groups were evaluated with repeated measures analysis of covariance.ResultsHR, CI, DO2I and BIS were significantly lower with MED than with MMK. ABP, CVP, SVRI, EO2, RT and arterial lactate were significantly higher with MED than with MMK and AB. HR and ABP were significantly higher with MMK than with AB. However, CVP, CI, SVRI, DO2I, VO2I, EO2, T, BIS and blood lactate did not differ significantly between MMK and AB. The times to extubation, righting, sternal recumbency and walking were significantly shorter with MMK than with MED and AB.Conclusions and clinical relevanceMK-467 attenuates certain cardiovascular effects of medetomidine in dogs anaesthetized with isoflurane. The cardiovascular effects of MMK are very similar to those of AB.  相似文献

ObjectiveTo compare the cardiopulmonary effects of intravenous (IV) and intramuscular (IM) medetomidine and butorphanol with or without MK-467.Study designProspective, randomized experimental cross-over.AnimalsEight purpose–bred beagles (two females, six males), 3–4 years old and weighing 14.5 ±1.6 kg (mean ± SD).MethodsAll dogs received four different treatments as follows: medetomidine 20 μg kg?1 and butorphanol tartrate 0.1 mg kg?1 IV and IM (MB), and MB combined with MK-467,500 μg kg?1 (MBMK) IV and IM. Heart rate (HR), arterial blood pressures (SAP, MAP, DAP), central venous pressure (CVP), cardiac output, respiratory rate (fR), rectal temperature (RT) were measured and arterial blood samples were obtained for gas analysis at baseline and at 3, 10, 20, 30, 45 and 60 minutes after drug administration. The cardiac index (CI), systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI) and oxygen delivery index (DO2I) were calculated. After the follow-up period atipamezole 50 μg kg?1 IM was given to reverse sedation.ResultsHR, CI and DO2I were significantly higher with MBMK after both IV and IM administration. Similarly, SAP, MAP, DAP, CVP, SVRI and RT were significantly lower after MBMK than with MB. There were no differences in fR between treatments, but arterial partial pressure of oxygen decreased transiently after all treatments. Recoveries were uneventful following atipamezole administration after all treatments.Conclusions and clinical relevanceMK-467 attenuated the cardiovascular effects of a medetomidine-butorphanol combination after IV and IM administration.  相似文献

This study evaluated the quality of anaesthesia and some of the haemodynamic effects induced by a combination of thiopental, medetomidine, butorphanol and atropine in healthy beagle dogs ( n  = 12). Following premedication with atropine (ATR, 0.022 mg/kg intravenously (i.v.)) and butorphanol (BUT, 0.22 mg/kg i.v.), medetomidine (MED, 22 μg/kg intramuscularly (i.m.)) was administered followed in 5 min by thiopental (THIO, 2.2 mg/kg i.v.). Heart rate, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and mean arterial blood pressure (MBP) were monitored continuously with an ECG and direct arterial blood pressure monitor. Atipamezole (ATI, 110 μg/kg i.v.) was administered to half of the dogs ( n  = 6) following surgery to evaluate the speed and quality of arousal from anaesthesia. Anaesthesia was characterized by excellent muscle relaxation, analgesia and absence of purposeful movement in response to surgical castration. Arousal following antagonism of mede­tomidine was significantly faster ( P  < 0.05) than in unantagonized dogs. Recoveries were smooth but recovery times following atipamezole administration were highly variable among dogs (sternal time range 6–38 min, standing time range 9–56 min). Medetomidine caused a significant ( P  < 0.05) increase in SBP, DBP and MBP. Atropine prevented the medetomidine induced bradycardia. In conclusion, this combination provided adequate surgical anaesthesia in healthy beagle dogs. At the dosages used in this study, it seems prudent that this combination should be reserved for dogs free of myocardial disease.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine cardiopulmonary effects of total IV anesthesia with propofol and medetomidine in ponies and effect of atipamezole on recovery. ANIMALS: 10 ponies. PROCEDURE: After sedation was induced by IV administration of medetomidine (7 microg/kg of body weight), anesthesia was induced by IV administration of propofol 12 mg/kg) and maintained for 4 hours with infusions of medetomidine (3.5 microg/kg per hour) and propofol 10.07 to 0.11 mg/kg per minute). Spontaneous respiration was supplemented with oxygen. Cardiopulmonary measurements and blood concentrations of propofol were determined during anesthesia. Five ponies received atipamezole (60 microg/kg) during recovery. RESULTS: During anesthesia, mean cardiac index and heart rate increased significantly until 150 minutes, then decreased until cessation of anesthesia. Mean arterial pressure and systemic vascular resistance index increased significantly between 150 minutes and 4 hours. In 4 ponies, PaO2 decreased to < 60 mm Hg. Mean blood propofol concentrations from 20 minutes after induction onwards ranged from 2.3 to 3.5 microg/ml. Recoveries were without complications and were complete within 28 minutes with atipamezole administration and 39 minutes without atipamezole administration. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: During total IV anesthesia of long duration with medetomidine-propofol, cardiovascular function is comparable to or better than under inhalation anesthesia. This technique may prove suitable in equids in which prompt recovery is essential; however, in some animals severe hypoxia may develop and oxygen supplementation may be necessary.  相似文献

The objective of this study was to evaluate dexmedetomidine as a premedicant in dogs prior to propofol-desflurane anaesthesia, and to compare it with medetomidine. Six healthy dogs were anaesthetized. Each dog received intravenously (i.v.) five preanaesthetic protocols: D1 (dexmedetomidine, 1 microg/kg, i.v.), D2 (dexmedetomidine, 2 microg/kg, i.v.), M1 (medetomidine, 1 microg/kg, i.v.), M2 (medetomidine, 2 microg/kg, i.v.), or M4 (medetomidine, 4 microg/kg, i.v.). Anaesthesia was induced with propofol (2.3-3.3 mg/kg) and maintained with desflurane. The following variables were studied: heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure, systolic arterial pressure, diastolic arterial pressure, respiratory rate (RR), arterial oxygen saturation, end-tidal CO2, end-tidal concentration of desflurane (EtDES) required for maintenance of anaesthesia and tidal volume. Arterial blood pH (pHa) and arterial blood gas tensions (PaO2, PaCO2) were measured during anaesthesia. Time to extubation, time to sternal recumbency and time to standing were also recorded. HR and RR decreased significantly during sedation in all protocols. Cardiorespiratory variables during anaesthesia were statistically similar for all protocols. EtDES was significantly different between D1 (8.1%) and D2 (7.5%), and between all doses of medetomidine. Desflurane requirements were similar for D1 and M2, and for D2 and M4 protocols. No statistical differences were observed in recovery times. The combination of dexmedetomidine, propofol and desflurane appears to be effective for induction and maintenance of general anaesthesia in healthy dogs.  相似文献

Observations were made on 49 dogs aged 3–13 years, of ASA Grades I and 11, during 83 periods of mega-voltage radiotherapy. The dogs weighed 5.847.0 kg and the total duration of anaesthesia ranged from 12–52 min (mean ± sem, 22 ± 8). No premedication was given. Anaesthesia was induced with iv propofol and, following endotracheal intubation, maintained with halothane/nitrous oxide/oxygen and intermittent injections of propofol. The dose of propofol needed to induce jaw relaxation sufficient for intubation was 3.5–10.8 mgkg bwt (5.67 ± 0.15) administered over 7–137 s (36 ± 2). On 91 occasions in 54 periods of anaesthesia, supplementary doses of propofol ranging from 0.2–4.9 mg/kg bwt (1.42 ± 0.14) were needed during positioning for irradiation. The times elapsing from extubation to swallowing, response to voice, spontaneous head lifting and walking were 3, 6, 7 and 13 min, respectively. A 12% incidence of tonic-clonic movements indicated that the method of anaesthesia cannot be regarded as entirely satisfactory for mega-voltage radiotherapy.  相似文献

The purpose of this study was to investigate the cardiopulmonary influences of sevoflurane in oxygen at two anaesthetic concentrations (1.5 and 2 MAC) during spontaneous and controlled ventilation in dogs. After premedication with fentany-droperidol (5 microg/kg and 0.25 mg/kg intramuscularly) and induction with propofol (6 mg/kg intravenously) six dogs were anaesthetized for 3 h. Three types of ventilation were compared: spontaneous ventilation (SpV), intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV), and positive end expiratory pressure ventilation (PEEP, 5 cm H2O). Heart rate, haemoglobin oxygen saturation, arterial blood pressures, right atrial and pulmonary arterial pressures, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure and cardiac output were measured. End tidal CO2%, inspiratory oxygen fraction, respiration rate and tidal volume were recorded using a multi-gas analyser and a respirometer. Acid-base and blood gas analyses were performed. Cardiac index, stroke volume, stroke index, systemic and pulmonary vascular resistance, left and right ventricular stroke work index were calculated. Increasing the MAC value during sevoflurane anaesthesia with spontaneous ventilation induced a marked cardiopulmonary depression; on the other hand, heart rate increased significantly, but the increases were not clinically relevant. The influences of artificial respiration on cardiopulmonary parameters during 1.5 MAC sevoflurane anaesthesia were minimal. In contrast, PEEP ventilation during 2 MAC concentration had more pronounced negative influences, especially on right cardiac parameters. In conclusion, at 1.5 MAC, a surgical anaesthesia level, sevoflurane can be used safely in healthy dogs during spontaneous and controlled ventilation (IPPV and PEEP of 5 cm H2O).  相似文献

ObjectiveTo evaluate the anaesthetic and cardiorespiratory effects of four anaesthetic protocols in red foxes (Vulpes vulpes).Study designProspective, blinded and randomized complete block design.AnimalsTen adult captive red foxes.MethodsFoxes were anaesthetized by intramuscular (IM) injection using four protocols in random order: medetomidine 40 μg kg?1, midazolam 0.3 mg kg?1 and butorphanol 0.1 mg kg?1 (MMiB), medetomidine 40 μg kg?1 and ketamine 4 mg kg?1 (MK40/4), medetomidine 60 μg kg?1 and ketamine 4 mg kg?1 (MK60/4), medetomidine 40 μg kg?1 and tiletamine/zolazepam 2 mg kg?1 (MTZ). Time to lateral recumbency, induction time and time to recovery following IM administration of atipamezole 0.2 mg kg?1 were recorded. Heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (fR) and rhythm, blood pressure, rectal temperature, end-tidal CO2 tension (Pe′Co2), functional oxygen saturation and presence/absence of interdigital, palpebral and ear reflexes were recorded every 10 minutes, and following administration of atipamezole. Data were analysed using two-way repeated-measures anova with Bonferroni post tests; p < 0.05 was considered significant.ResultsAll protocols produced profound sedation with good muscle relaxation. Only the MMiB protocol diverged significantly from the others. Induction of anaesthesia and recovery time following atipamezole were significantly longer, and fR and initial HR significantly lower with MMiB than with the other protocols. With all protocols, mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) was initially relatively high (140–156 mmHg), and decreased significantly over time. With all protocols, the administration of atipamezole resulted in a rapid, significant decrease in MAP and an increase in HR.Conclusions and clinical relevanceAll four protocols provided anaesthetic conditions suitable for minor procedures and allowed endotracheal intubation. The cyclohexanone protocols provided quicker and more reliable inductions and recoveries than the MMiB protocol.  相似文献

Propofol as an intravenous anaesthetic agent in dogs   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
Studies in dogs with an emulsion formulation of the intravenous anaesthetic, propofol, showed that induction of anaesthesia was smooth and it was possible to maintain anaesthesia by intermittent injection. The mean dose for induction of anaesthesia in unpremedicated dogs was 5.95 mg/kg body-weight. When no premedication was administered anaesthesia was maintained by a total dose of approximately 0.806 mg/kg/minute. Premedication with between 0.02 and 0.04 mg/kg of acepromazine reduced the mean induction dose by about 30 per cent and the maintenance dose by more than 50 per cent. In 68 unpremedicated dogs given one dose, recovery was complete in a mean time of 18 minutes and after maintenance of anaesthesia by intermittent injection in 65 dogs the mean recovery time was 22 minutes from administration of the last dose. Premedication with acepromazine did not produce statistically significant increases in these recovery times. The quiet, rapid and complete recovery proved to be most valuable in cases where the animal had to be returned to the owners' care with the minimum of delay.  相似文献

Cardiovascular, pulmonary and anaesthetic-analgesic responses were evaluated in 18 male and female dogs to determine the effect of the injectable anaesthetic propofol used in conjuction with acepromazine and butorphanol. The dogs were randomly divided into three groups. Dogs in Group A were premeditated with 0.1 mg/kg of intramuscular acepromazine followed by an induction dose of 4.4 mg/kg of intravenous propofol; Group B received 0.2 mg/kg of intramuscular butorphanol and 4.4 mg/kg of intravenous propofol; dogs in Group AB were administered a premeditation combination of 0.1 mg/kg of intramuscular acepromazine and 0.2 mg/kg of intramuscular butorphanol, followed by induction with 3.3 mg/kg of intravenous propofol. The induction dose of propofol was given over a period of 30-60 seconds to determine responses and duration of anaesthesia. Observations recorded in the dogs included heart and respiratory rates, indirect arterial blood pressures (systolic, diastolic and mean), cardiac rhythm, end-tidal CO, tension, oxygen saturation, induction time, duration of anaesthesia, recovery time and adverse reactions. The depth of anaesthesia was assessed by the response to mechanical noxious stimuli (tail clamping), the degree of muscle relaxation and the strength of reflexes. Significant respiratory depression was seen after propofol induction in both groups receiving butorphanol with or without acepromazine. The incidence of apnea was 4/6 dogs in Group B, and 5/6 dogs in Group AB. The incidence of apnea was also correlated to the rate of propofol administration. Propofol-mediated decreases in arterial blood pressure were observed in all three groups. Moderate bradycardia (minimum value > 55 beats/min) was observed in both Groups B and AB. There were no cardiac dysrhythmias noted in any of the 18 dogs. The anaesthetic duration and recovery times were longer in dogs premeditated with acepromazine/butorphanol.  相似文献

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the cardio-respiratory effects of the combination of medetomidine and thiopentone followed by reversal with atipamezole as a combination for anaesthesia in 10 healthy German Shepherd dogs breathing spontaneously in a room at an altitude of 1486 m above sea level with an ambient air pressure of 651 mmHg. After the placement of intravenous and intra-arterial catheters, baseline samples were collected. Medetomidine (0.010 mg/kg) was administered intravenously and blood pressure and heart rate were recorded every minute for 5 minutes. Thiopentone was then slowly administered until intubation conditions were ideal. An endotracheal tube was placed and the dogs breathed room air spontaneously. Blood pressure, pulse oximetry, respiratory and heart rate, capnography, blood gas analysis and arterial lactate were performed or recorded every 10 minutes for the duration of the trial. Thiopentone was administered to maintain anaesthesia. After 60 minutes, atipamezole (0.025 mg/kg) was given intramuscularly. Data were recorded for the next 30 minutes. A dose of 8.7 mg/kg of thiopentone was required to anaesthetise the dogs after the administration of 0.010 mg/kg of medetomidine. Heart rate decreased from 96.7 at baseline to 38.5 5 minutes after the administration of medetomidine (P < 0.05). Heart rate then increased with the administration of thiopentone to 103.2 (P < 0.05). Blood pressure increased from 169.4/86.2 mmHg to 253.2/143.0 mmHg 5 minutes after the administration of medetomidine (P < 0.05). Blood pressure then slowly returned towards normal. Heart rate and blood pressure returned to baseline values after the administration of atipamezole. Arterial oxygen tension decreased from baseline levels (84.1 mmHg) to 57.8 mmHg after the administration of medetomidine and thiopentone (P < 0.05). This was accompanied by arterial desaturation from 94.7 to 79.7% (P < 0.05). A decrease in respiratory rate from 71.8 bpm to 12.2 bpm was seen during the same period. Respiratory rates slowly increased over the next hour to 27.0 bpm and a further increases 51.4 bpm after the administration of atipamezole was seen (P < 0.05). This was maintained until the end of the observation period. Arterial oxygen tension slowly returned towards normal over the observation period. No significant changes in blood lactate were seen. No correlation was found between arterial saturation as determined by blood gas analysis and pulse oximetry. Recovery after the administration of atipamezole was rapid (5.9 minutes). In healthy dogs, anaesthesia can be maintained with a combination of medetomidine and thiopentone, significant anaesthetic sparing effects have been noted and recovery from anaesthesia is not unduly delayed. Hypoxaemia may be problematic. Appropriate monitoring should be done and oxygen supplementation and ventilatory support should be available. A poor correlation between SpO2 and SaO2 and ETCO2 and PaCO2 was found.  相似文献

The objective of this paper was to evaluate the effect of constant rate infusion of medetomidine on the anaesthetic requirements of desflurane in dogs. For this, six healthy dogs were studied. Measurements for baseline were taken in the awake, unsedated dogs, then each dog received intravenously (i.v.) three anaesthetic protocols: M (no medetomidine infusion), M0.5 (infusion of medetomidine at 0.5 microg/kg/h, i.v.) or M1 (infusion of medetomidine at 1 microg/kg/h, i.v.). All dogs were sedated with medetomidine (2 microg/kg, i.v.) and measurements repeated in 10 min. Induction of anaesthesia was delivered with propofol (3 mg/kg, i.v.) and maintained with desflurane for 90 min to achieve a defined surgical plane of anaesthesia in all cases. After tracheal intubation infusion of medetomidine was initiated and maintained until the end of anaesthesia. Cardiovascular, respiratory, arterial pH (pHa) and arterial blood gas tensions (PaO(2), PaCO(2)) variables were measured during the procedure. End tidal desflurane concentration (EtDES) was recorded throughout anaesthesia. Time to extubation, time to sternal recumbency and time to standing were also noted. Heart rate and respiratory rate were significantly decreased during sedation in all protocols compared to baseline values. Mean heart rate, mean arterial pressure, systolic arterial pressure, diastolic arterial pressure, respiratory rate, tidal volume, arterial oxygen saturation, end-tidal CO(2), pHa, PaO(2), and PaCO(2) during anaesthesia were similar for all protocols. EtDES for M (8.6 +/- 0.8%) was statistically higher than for M0.5 (7.6 +/- 0.5%) and M1 (7.3 +/- 0.7%) protocols. Infusion of medetomidine reduces desflurane concentration required to maintain anaesthesia in dogs.  相似文献

Objective

To investigate changes in serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI) concentrations in dogs in which medetomidine was used for sedation or for premedication prior to anaesthesia with propofol and sevoflurane.

Study design

Prospective clinical study.

Animals

A total of 66 client-owned dogs.

Methods

The dogs were sedated with medetomidine (0.04 mg kg?1) intravenously (IV) (group M; n = 20) and left to breath room air or anaesthetized with propofol (6.5 ± 0.76 mg kg?1 IV) and sevoflurane (4.5% vaporizer setting) in oxygen (group P + S; n = 20) or with medetomidine (0.04 mg kg?1 IV), propofol (1.92 ± 0.63 mg kg?1) and sevoflurane (3% vaporizer setting) in oxygen (group M + P + S; n = 26), respectively. After 35 minutes, medetomidine was antagonized with atipamezole (0.1 mg kg?1 intramuscularly). Blood samples for serum cTnI determination were taken before sedation or anaesthesia, 6 and 12 hours and 4 days thereafter. Serum cTnI concentrations were measured with the Architect STAT Troponin-I assay.

Results

Before sedation or anaesthesia, cTnI concentrations were above the detection limit in 22 out of 66 (33%) of dogs. Compared to basal values, cTnI concentrations significantly increased at 6 and 12 hours in all groups and at day 4 in group M. There were no differences in cTnI concentration between groups at baseline, at 6 hours and at 4 days. At 12 hours, cTnI concentrations were significantly higher in groups M and P + S, respectively, compared to group M + P + S.

Conclusions and clinical relevance

Oxygenation during anaesthesia and reduction of propofol and sevoflurane dose due to the sparing effects of medetomidine might have played a role in alleviation of myocardial hypoxic injury as indicated by the less severe and short-lived increase of cTnI in the M + P + S group.  相似文献

The sedative and physiological effects of intramuscular medetomidine (20 and 40 μg/kg) in dogs were compared with those of xylazine (2 mg/kg). The efficacy of atipamezole (200 μg/kg), as an antagonist given 15 or 45 minutes after medetomidine (40 μg/kg) was studied. Following medetomidine, onset of sedation was rapid, and depth and duration of sedation were dose dependent. The higher dose produced jaw relaxation, depression of the pedal reflex, downward rotation of the eye and dogs could be positioned for radiography of the hips. Side effects were similar after either medetomidine or xylazine, and included bradycardia, a fall in respiratory rate and muscle tremor. Vomiting during induction was less frequent after medetomidine than after xylazine. Intramuscular administration of atipamezole rapidly reversed the sedative effects of medetomidine. Signs of arousal were seen within three minutes; all dogs could stand within 10 minutes and appeared clinically normal. Heart and respiratory rates rose, but did not return to presedation values.

Medetomidine, either 5, 10 or 20 (μg/kg, was administered together with pethidine, 2 mg/kg, by either the intramuscular or subcutaneous route to 88 dogs from a clinical population. Administration of all the drug combinations consistently produced profound sedation in the dogs, accompanied by dramatic reductions in heart rate. The degree of sedation was similar to that seen after 40 μg/kg medetomidine is administered on its own to dogs. Intramuscular administration produced more reliable sedation, but was associated with more pain than subcutaneous administration. In a number of dogs, sedation permitted the completion of various diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. Several dogs were anaesthetised with thiopentone and the induction doses required were characteristically low (mean doses between 2 to 3·3 mg/kg depending on the dose of medetomidine and the route of administration). Administration of atipamezole at the termination of sedation or anaesthesia, produced a rapid and full recovery (mean time to standing between seven and 11 minutes).  相似文献
