OBJECTIVES: To determine whether moderate hypothermia during 4 hours of anesthesia with isoflurane substantially affects serum concentrations of transdermally administered fentanyl in the perianesthetic period in cats. ANIMALS: 7 healthy mature cats. PROCEDURE: A fentanyl patch (25 microg/h) was applied to the shaved thorax 24 hours before induction of anesthesia. Anesthesia was induced at time 0. Each cat received 2 treatments in a random order. Treatments were isoflurane anesthesia with normothermia and isoflurane anesthesia with hypothermia. Cats were intubated, connected to a nonrebreathing circuit, and maintained at 1.3X minimum alveolar concentration for 4 hours. Cats in the hypothermia treatment groups were actively cooled to 35 degrees C following the induction of anesthesia. Serum fentanyl analysis was performed at -24, -12, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, and 24 hours. RESULTS: Mean +/- SEM serum fentanyl concentration (SFC) for the hypothermia treatment group (0.598 +/- 0.3048 ng/mL) was significantly lower than the baseline concentration (1.834 +/- 0.6393 ng/mL) at 1 hour. This significant reduction persisted for the duration of anesthesia for the hypothermia treatment group. Serum fentanyl concentrations returned to baseline values within 1 hour of the end of anesthesia, regardless of body temperature. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Hypothermia during inhalant anesthesia induced a significant reduction in SFC obtained with transdermal administration. The impact of this reduction in SFC on the contribution of transdermally administered fentanyl to any reduction in the need for inhalant anesthesia remains to be determined.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of isoflurane was altered by transdermal administration of fentanyl in normothermic and hypothermic dogs. DESIGN: Randomized complete block crossover design. ANIMALS: 6 mature healthy dogs. PROCEDURE: Dogs received each of 4 treatments in random order. Following induction of anesthesia, normothermia was maintained in dogs that were treated with a fentanyl patch (F-NORM) or sham patch (C-NORM), or hypothermia was maintained in dogs that were treated with a fentanyl patch (F-HYPO) or sham patch (C-HYPO). The appropriate patch was applied 24 hours prior to induction of anesthesia. Anesthesia was induced with isoflurane in oxygen; the dogs were intubated and mechanically ventilated. Target esophageal temperatures were maintained within 1 degrees C of baseline values (normothermia) or at 34.5 degrees C (94.1 degrees F; hypothermia) for 1 hour prior to starting MAC determinations. Supramaximal stimulation was achieved with an electrical stimulator attached to needle electrodes placed in the buccal mucosa of the lower jaw of the dog. RESULTS: Mean MAC +/- SEM of isoflurane during C-NORM, C-HYPO, F-NORM, and F-HYPO treatments were 1.20 +/- 0.17, 0.89 +/- 0.18, 0.76 +/- 0.10, and 0.81 +/- 0.17, respectively. The mean MAC during C-NORM was significantly higher than values for the other treatments. There was no significant difference in mean MAC among the C-HYPO, F-NORM, and F-HYPO treatments. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Data suggest that transdermal administration of fentanyl significantly reduces isoflurane requirements in normothermic dogs. The isoflurane MAC-sparing effects of transdermal fentanyl are not apparent in hypothermic dogs.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of a constant-rate infusion of fentanyl on minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of isoflurane and to determine the interaction between fentanyl and a benzodiazepine agonist (diazepam) and antagonist (flumazenil) in isoflurane-anesthetized dogs. ANIMALS: 8 mixed-breed adult dogs. PROCEDURE: Dogs were anesthetized with isoflurane 3 times during a 6-week period. After a 30-minute equilibration period, each MAC determination was performed in triplicate, using standard techniques. Fentanyl was administered as a bolus (10 microg/kg of body weight, IV) that was followed by a constant infusion (0.3 microg/kg per min, IV) throughout the remainder of the experiment. After determining isoflurane-fentanyl MAC in triplicate, each dog received saline (0.9% NaCl) solution, diazepam, or flumazenil. After 30 minutes, MAC was determined again. RESULTS: Fentanyl significantly decreased isoflurane MAC (corrected to a barometric pressure of 760 mm Hg) from 1.80+/-0.21 to 0.85+/-0.14%, a reduction of 53%. Isoflurane-fentanyl-diazepam MAC (0.48+/-0.29%) was significantly less than isoflurane-fentanyl-saline MAC (0.79+/-0.21%). Percentage reduction in isoflurane MAC was significantly greater for fentanyl-diazepam (74%), compared with fentanyl-saline (54%) or fentanyl-flumazenil (61%). Mean fentanyl concentrations for the entire experiment were increased over time and were higher in the diazepam group than the saline or flumazenil groups. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Fentanyl markedly decreased isoflurane MAC in dogs. Diazepam, but not flumazenil, further decreased isoflurane-fentanyl MAC. Our results indicate that diazepam enhances, whereas flumazenil does not affect, opioid-induced CNS depression and, possibly, analgesia in dogs.  相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To determine the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of isoflurane during the infusion of ketamine. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective, experimental trial. ANIMALS: Twelve adult spayed female cats weighing 5.1 +/- 0.9 kg. METHODS: Six cats were anesthetized with isoflurane in oxygen, intubated and attached to a circle-breathing system with mechanical ventilation. Catheters were placed in a peripheral vein for the infusion of fluids and ketamine, and the jugular vein for blood sampling for the measurement of ketamine concentrations. An arterial catheter was placed to allow blood pressure measurement and sampling for the measurement of PaCO2, PaO2 and pH. PaCO2 was maintained between 29 and 41 mmHg (3.9-5.5 kPa) and body temperature was kept between 37.8 and 39.3 degrees C. Following instrumentation, the MAC of isoflurane was determined in triplicate using a tail clamp method. A loading dose (2 mg kg(-1) over 5 minutes) and an infusion (23 microg kg(-1) minute(-1)) of ketamine was started and MAC was redetermined starting 30 minutes later. Two further loading doses and infusions were used, 2 mg kg(-1) and 6 mg kg(-1) with 46 and 115 microg kg(-1) minute(-1), respectively and MAC was redetermined. Cardiopulmonary measurements were taken before application of the noxious stimulus. The second group of six cats was used for the measurement of steady state plasma ketamine concentrations at each of the three infusion rates used in the initial study and the appropriate MAC value determined from the first study. RESULTS: The MAC decreased by 45 +/- 17%, 63 +/- 18%, and 75 +/- 17% at the infusion rates of 23, 46, and 115 microg kg(-1) minute(-1). These infusion rates corresponded to ketamine plasma concentrations of 1.75 +/- 0.21, 2.69 +/- 0.40, and 5.36 +/- 1.19 microg mL(-1). Arterial blood pressure and heart rate increased significantly with ketamine. Recovery was protracted. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The MAC of isoflurane was significantly decreased by an infusion of ketamine and this was accompanied by an increase in heart rate and blood pressure. Because of the prolonged recovery in our cats, further work needs to be performed before using this in patients.  相似文献

The effects of fentanyl on the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of isoflurane and cardiovascular function in mechanically ventilated goats were evaluated using six healthy goats (three does and three wethers). Following induction of general anaesthesia with isoflurane delivered via a mask, endotracheal intubation was performed and anaesthesia was maintained with isoflurane. The baseline MAC of isoflurane (that is, the lowest alveolar concentration required to prevent gross purposeful movement) in response to clamping a claw with a vulsellum forceps was determined. Immediately after baseline isoflurane MAC determination, the goats received, on separate occasions, one of three fentanyl treatments, administered intravenously: a bolus of 0.005 mg/kg followed by constant rate infusion (CRI) of 0.005 mg/kg/hour (treatment LFENT), a bolus of 0.015 mg/kg followed by CRI of 0.015 mg/kg/hour (treatment MFENT) or a bolus of 0.03 mg/kg followed by CRI of 0.03 mg/kg/hour (treatment HFENT). Isoflurane MAC was redetermined during the fentanyl CRI treatments. Cardiopulmonary parameters were monitored. A four-week washout period was allowed between treatments. The observed baseline isoflurane MAC was 1.32 (1.29 to 1.36) per cent. Isoflurane MAC decreased to 0.98 (0.92 to 1.01) per cent, 0.75 (0.69 to 0.79) per cent and 0.58 (0.51 to 0.65) per cent following LFENT, MFENT and HFENT respectively. Cardiovascular function was not adversely affected. The quality of recovery from general anaesthesia was good, although exaggerated tail-wagging was observed in some goats following MFENT and HFENT.  相似文献

Objectives To determine whether moderate hypothermia during anesthesia significantly affects the serum concentration of transdermally delivered fentanyl and whether halothane or isoflurane affect these concentrations. Study Design Randomized cross‐over experimental trial. Animals Six mature, healthy Beagles (three males, three females) weighing 10.6 ± 0.43 kg. Methods A 50‐µg hour?1 fentanyl patch was applied 36 hours prior to anesthesia. Anesthesia was induced at time 0 (t = 0). Each dog received four treatments: isoflurane + normothermia (ISO‐NORM), isoflurane + hypothermia (ISO‐HYPO), halothane + normothermia (HAL‐NORM), and halothane + hypothermia (HAL‐HYPO). Dogs were intubated and maintained at 1.5 times MAC. Animals in the hypothermia treatments were cooled to 35 °C during anesthesia. Serum fentanyl analysis was performed at ?36, ?24, ?12, 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 18, and 26 hours. Direct arterial blood pressures and arterial blood gases were monitored. Results The mean body temperatures (±SEM) during the anesthetic period for the four treatments were: ISO‐NORM = 37.7 ± 0.07 °C, ISO‐HYPO = 35.8 ± 0.1 °C, HAL‐NORM = 37.7 ± 0.06 °C, and HAL‐HYPO = 35.8 ± 0.13 °C. The mean (±SEM) serum fentanyl concentrations (SFC) for both hypothermia treatments were significantly lower than baseline concentrations at t = 1 hour and persisted for the duration of anesthesia for the ISO‐HYPO treatment but only from t = 1 to 2 hours for the HAL‐HYPO treatment. Serum fentanyl concentrations returned to baseline within one hour of the end of anesthesia, regardless of body temperature. There were no significant differences between treatments for systolic or diastolic blood pressure but mean blood pressures were higher during normothermia versus hypothermia during the last hour of anesthesia. Conclusions and clinical relevance Hypothermia during inhalation anesthesia produced a significant reduction in SFC using transdermal administration and was more protracted with isoflurane than halothane anesthesia. While significant reductions in SFC occurred, the SFC were still within the range believed to confer analgesia.  相似文献

Different structurally related phenylpiperidine opioids exhibit different isoflurane-sparing effects in cats. Because minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) in cats is affected only by very high plasma concentrations of some phenylpiperidine opioids, we hypothesized these effects are caused by actions on nonopioid receptors. Using a prospective, randomized, crossover design, six cats were anesthetized with isoflurane, intubated, ventilated, and instrumented. Isoflurane MAC was measured in triplicate using a tail-clamp and bracketing technique. A computer-controlled intravenous infusion using prior pharmacokinetic models targeted plasma concentrations of 60 ng/ml fentanyl, 10 ng/ml sufentanil, or 500 ng/ml alfentanil, and isoflurane MAC was measured in duplicate. Next, naltrexone 0.6 mg/kg was administered to cats hourly during the opioid infusion, and isoflurane MAC was measured in duplicate. Blood was collected during MAC determinations to measure opioid concentrations. Responses were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA with significance at p < .05. Alfentanil and sufentanil decreased isoflurane MAC by 16.4% and 6.4%, respectively, and these effects were completely reversed by naltrexone. Fentanyl had no significant effect on isoflurane MAC. Alfentanil and sufentanil modestly reduce isoflurane MAC via agonist effects on opioid receptors. However, these effects are too small to justify clinical use of phenylpiperidine opioids as single agents to reduce MAC in cats.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of ketamine, magnesium sulfate, and their combination on the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of isoflurane (ISO-MAC) in goats. ANIMALS: 8 adult goats. PROCEDURES: Anesthesia was induced with isoflurane delivered via face mask. Goats were intubated and ventilated to maintain normocapnia. After an appropriate equilibration period, baseline MAC (MAC(B)) was determined and the following 4 treatments were administered IV: saline (0.9% NaCl) solution (loading dose [LD], 30 mL/20 min; constant rate infusion [CRI], 60 mL/h), magnesium sulfate (LD, 50 mg/kg; CRI, 10 mg/kg/h), ketamine (LD, 1 mg/kg; CRI, 25 microg/kg/min), and magnesium sulfate (LD, 50 mg/kg; CRI, 10 mg/kg/h) combined with ketamine (LD, 1 mg/kg; CRI, 25 microg/kg/min); then MAC was redetermined. RESULTS: Ketamine significantly decreased ISOMAC by 28.7 +/- 3.7%, and ketamine combined with magnesium sulfate significantly decreased ISOMAC by 21.1 +/- 4.1%. Saline solution or magnesium sulfate alone did not significantly change ISOMAC. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Ketamine and ketamine combined with magnesium sulfate, at doses used in the study, decreased the end-tidal isoflurane concentration needed to maintain anesthesia, verifying the clinical impression that ketamine decreases the end-tidal isoflurane concentration needed to maintain surgical anesthesia. Magnesium, at doses used in the study, did not decrease ISOMAC or augment ketamine's effects on ISOMAC.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To compare pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics of fentanyl citrate after IV or transdermal administration in cats. ANIMALS: 6 healthy adult cats with a mean weight of 3.78 kg. PROCEDURE: Each cat was given fentanyl IV (25 mg/cat; mean +/- SD dosage, 7.19 +/- 1.17 mg/kg of body weight) and via a transdermal patch (25 microg of fentanyl/h). Plasma concentrations of fentanyl were measured by use of radioimmunoassay. Pharmacokinetic analyses of plasma drug concentrations were conducted, using an automated curve-stripping process followed by nonlinear, least-squares regression. Transdermal delivery of drug was calculated by use of IV pharmacokinetic data. RESULTS: Plasma concentrations of fentanyl given IV decreased rapidly (mean elimination half-life, 2.35 +/- 0.57 hours). Mean +/- SEM calculated rate of transdermal delivery of fentanyl was 8.48 +/- 1.7 mg/h (< 36% of the theoretical 25 mg/h). Median steady-state concentration of fentanyl 12 to 100 hours after application of the transdermal patch was 1.58 ng/ml. Plasma concentrations of fentanyl < 1.0 ng/ml were detected in 4 of 6 cats 12 hours after patch application, 5 of 6 cats 18 and 24 hours after application, and 6 of 6 cats 36 hours after application. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: In cats, transdermal administration provides sustained plasma concentrations of fentanyl citrate throughout a 5-day period. Variation of plasma drug concentrations with transdermal absorption for each cat was pronounced. Transdermal administration of fentanyl has potential for use in cats for long-term control of pain after surgery or chronic pain associated with cancer.  相似文献

ObjectiveTo determine the impact of three different target plasma concentrations of fentanyl on the minimum anaesthetic concentration (MAC) for isoflurane in the red-tailed hawk and the effects on the haemodynamic profile.Study designExperimental study.Animal populationSix healthy adult red-tailed hawks (Buteo jamaicensis) of unknown sex with body weights (mean ± SD) of 1.21 ± 0.15 kg.MethodsThis study was undertaken in two phases. In the first phase anaesthesia was induced with isoflurane in oxygen via facemask and maintained with isoflurane delivered in oxygen via a Bain circuit. Following instrumentation baseline determination of the MAC for isoflurane was made for each animal using the bracketing method and a supramaximal electrical stimulus. End-tidal isoflurane concentration (E′Iso) was then set at 0.75 × MAC and after an appropriate equilibration period a bolus of fentanyl (20 μg kg?1) was administered intravenously (IV) in order to determine the pharmacokinetics of fentanyl in the isoflurane-anaesthetized red-tailed hawk. During the second phase anaesthesia was induced in a similar manner and E′Iso was set at 0.75 × MAC for each individual. Fentanyl was infused IV to achieve target plasma concentrations between 8 and 32 ng mL?1. At each fentanyl plasma concentration, the MAC for isoflurane and cardiovascular variables were determined. Data were analyzed by use of repeated-measures anova.ResultsMean ± SD fentanyl plasma concentrations and isoflurane MACs were 0 ± 0, 8.51 ± 4, 14.85 ± 4.82 and 29.25 ± 11.52 ng mL?1, and 2.05 ± 0.45%, 1.42 ± 0.53%, 1.14 ± 0.31% and 0.93 ± 0.32% for the target concentrations of 0, 8, 16 and 32 ng mL?1, respectively. At these concentrations fentanyl significantly (p = 0.0016) decreased isoflurane MAC by 31%, 44% and 55%, respectively. Dose had no significant effect on heart rate, systolic, diastolic or mean arterial blood pressure.Conclusions and clinical relevanceFentanyl produced a dose-related decrease of isoflurane MAC with minimal effects on measured cardiovascular parameters in red-tailed hawks.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To characterize the shape of the relationship between plasma ketamine concentration and minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of isoflurane in dogs. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective analysis of previous data. ANIMALS: Four healthy adult dogs. METHODS: The MAC of isoflurane was determined at five to six different plasma ketamine concentrations. Arterial blood samples were collected at the time of MAC determination for measurement of plasma ketamine concentration. Plasma concentration/effect data from each dog were fitted to a sigmoid inhibitory maximum effect model in which MAC(c)= MAC(0) - (MAC(0)-MAC(min)) x C(gamma)/EC(50)(gamma)+C(gamma), where C is the plasma ketamine concentration, MAC(c) is the MAC of isoflurane at plasma ketamine concentration C, MAC(0) is the MAC of isoflurane without ketamine, MAC(min) is the lowest MAC predicted during ketamine administration, EC(50) is the plasma ketamine concentration producing 50% of the maximal MAC reduction, and gamma is a sigmoidicity factor. Nonlinear regression was used to estimate MAC(min), EC(50), and gamma. RESULTS: Mean +/- SEM MAC(min), EC(50) and gamma were estimated to be 0.11 +/- 0.01%, 2945 +/- 710 ng mL(-1) and 3.01 +/- 0.84, respectively. Mean +/- SEM maximal MAC reduction predicted by the model was 92.20 +/- 1.05%. CONCLUSIONS: The relationship between plasma ketamine concentration and its effect on isoflurane MAC has a classical sigmoid shape. Maximal MAC reduction predicted by the model is less than 100%, implying that high plasma ketamine concentrations may not totally abolish gross purposeful movement in response to noxious stimulation in the absence of inhalant anesthetics. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The parameter estimates reported in this study will allow clinicians to predict the expected isoflurane MAC reduction from various plasma ketamine concentrations in an average dog.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine effects of epidural administration of morphine and buprenorphine on the minimum alveolar concentration of isoflurane in cats. Animals-6 healthy adult domestic shorthair cats. PROCEDURES: Cats were anesthetized with isoflurane in oxygen. Morphine (100 microg/kg diluted with saline [0.9% NaCl] solution to a volume of 0.3 mL/kg), buprenorphine (12.5 microg/kg diluted with saline solution to a volume of 0.3 mL/kg), or saline solution (0.3 mL/kg) was administered into the epidural space according to a Latin square design. The minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of isoflurane was measured in triplicate by use of the tail clamp technique. At least 1 week was allowed between successive experiments. RESULTS: The MAC of isoflurane was 2.00 +/- 0.18%, 2.13 +/- 0.11%, and 2.03 +/- 0.09% in the morphine, buprenorphine, and saline solution groups, respectively. No significant difference in MAC was detected among treatment groups. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: A significant effect of epidural administration of morphine or buprenorphine on the MAC of isoflurane in cats could not be detected. Further studies are needed to establish whether epidural opioid administration has other benefits when administered as a component of general anesthesia in cats.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of inhalation of isoflurane at end-tidal concentrations greater than, equal to, and less than the minimum anesthetic concentration (MAC) on bispectral index (BIS) in chickens. Animals-10 chickens. PROCEDURES: For each chicken, the individual MAC of isoflurane was determined by use of the toe-pinch method. After a 1-week interval, chickens were anesthetized with isoflurane at concentrations 1.75, 1.50, 1.25, 1.00, and 0.75 times their individual MAC (administered from higher to lower concentrations). At each MAC multiple, a toe pinch was performed and BIS was assessed and correlated with heart rate, blood pressure, and an awareness score (derived by use of a visual analogue scale). RESULTS: Among the chickens, mean +/- SD MAC of isoflurane was 1.15 +/- 0.20%. Burst suppression was detected at every MAC multiple. The BIS and awareness score were correlated directly with each other and changed inversely with increasing isoflurane concentration. Median (range) BIS values during anesthesia at 1.75, 1.50, 1.25, 1.00, and 0.75 MAC of isoflurane were 25 (15 to 35), 35 (25 to 45), 35 (20 to 50), 40 (25 to 55), and 50 (35 to 65), respectively. Median BIS value at extubation was 70 +/- 9. Values of BIS correlated with blood pressure, but not with heart rate. Blood pressure changed with end-tidal isoflurane concentrations, whereas heart rate did not. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Assessment of BIS can be used to monitor the electrical activity of the brain and the degree of unconsciousness in chickens during isoflurane anesthesia.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the neuromuscular blocking and chronotropic effects of rocuronium bromide in cats anaesthetized for surgery. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective clinical trial. ANIMALS: Twenty-two healthy cats of mixed breed presented for ovariectomy (n = 13) or castration (n = 9). Mean body mass (+/-SD) was 3.6 +/- 0.65 kg and mean age was 10.25 +/- 2.63 months. METHODS: Anaesthesia was induced with intravenous (IV) midazolam (0.3 mg kg(-1)), ketamine (3 mg kg(-1)) and butorphanol (0.4 mg kg(-1)). Tracheal intubation was performed and anaesthesia was maintained with isoflurane delivered in 100% oxygen. Neuromuscular function was monitored using acceleromyography applied at the ulnar nerve. This was stimulated by using the train-of-four (TOF) stimulus pattern (2 Hz) delivered every 15 seconds. The first train was made to establish baseline values for the first twitch (T1) and the TOF-ratio (T4:T1). Rocuronium (0.6 mg kg(-1) IV) was given and the following periods were recorded beginning at the end of injection: (1) lag time (LT) - to the first signs of T1 depression; (2) onset time (OT) - to the total ablation of T1; (3) duration of action (T1(25)) - to 25% recovery of the baseline value for T1; (4) T1(50)- to 50% baseline T1 restoration; (5) to TOF-ratios of 0.7 and 0.9. The time taken for T1 to recover from 75% to 25% depression (T1(25-75)) was also recorded. Heart rate (HR) was taken every minute for 15 minutes, beginning 5 minutes before rocuronium was injected. RESULTS: Rocuronium (0.6 mg kg(-1)) had a mean LT of 15.0 +/- 0 seconds, OT of 46 +/- 11 seconds and T1(25) of 13.2 +/- 2.7 minutes. The mean time for TOF 0.7 and 0.9 was 17.3 +/- 5.4 and 20.7 +/- 5.4 minutes respectively. The mean T1(25-75) was 4.8 +/- 2.4 minutes. No significant changes in HR were observed at any of the time intervals recorded. CONCLUSION: Rocuronium is an effective nondepolarizing muscle relaxant in the cat under the clinical conditions of this study. It has a rapid onset, a short duration of action and did not cause significant changes in HR.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To compare haemodynamic and respiratory variables during isoflurane-fentanyl (IF) and propofol-fentanyl (PF) anaesthesia for surgery in injured cats. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective, randomized, controlled clinical study. ANIMALS: Thirty-three client-owned injured cats undergoing orthopaedic surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Pre-anaesthetic medication was intravenous midazolam 1 mg kg(-1), butorphanol 0.4 mg kg(-1) and ketamine 2 mg kg(-1). Anaesthesia was induced with propofol (P) and maintained with either: (a) a continuous rate infusion (CRI) of fentanyl (F) 0.02 mg kg(-1) hour(-1) and isoflurane (initial end-tidal concentration of 1%), (b) a fentanyl CRI (dose as before) and sevoflurane (initial end-tidal concentration of 2%) or (c) a CRI of propofol (12 mg kg(-1) hour(-1)). All three techniques were given to effect until surgical anaesthesia was achieved. Heart rate and rhythm (ECG), mean arterial blood pressure, respiratory rate, tidal volume and end-tidal CO(2) concentration were recorded. Venous blood gas analysis was performed before and after sedation, and at the end of anaesthesia. Blood chemistry and blood cell counts were assessed before, at the end of, and 24 hours after anaesthesia. The variables recorded from cats anaesthetized with IF and PF were compared. RESULTS: Mean end-expiratory isoflurane concentration was 1.19 +/- 0.19%. The propofol infusion rate was 11.4 +/- 0.8 mg kg(-1) hour(-1). No significant differences between the two groups in heart rate were identified; no cardiac dysrhythmias were recorded. Mean arterial blood pressure was significantly lower in IF cats during skin incision (p = 0.01), during surgery without intense surgical stimulation (p < 0.01) and during surgery with intense surgical stimulation (p = 0.01). Nine of 11 cats in the IF group were markedly hypotensive (34-49 mmHg) while seven of 11 cats in group PF were mildly hypotensive (49-59 mmHg). One of 11 cats in group IF and nine of 11 cats in group PF required intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) to maintain end-tidal CO(2) levels below 6.66 kPa (50 mmHg). CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Despite the necessity to ventilate the lungs of cats in the PF group, arterial blood pressure was better maintained. Propofol-fentanyl anaesthesia is better for surgery in injured cats providing the means to impose IPPV are available.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether opioids with varying interactions at receptors induce a reduction in minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of isoflurane in cats. ANIMALS: 12 healthy, female, spayed cats. PROCEDURE: Cats were anesthetized with isoflurane and instrumented to allow collection of arterial blood and measurement of arterial blood pressure. Each drug was studied separately, and for each drug cats were randomly allocated to receive 2 doses. The drugs studied were morphine (0.1 or 1.0 mg/kg), butorphanol (0.08 or 0.8 mg/kg), buprenorphine (0.005 and 0.05 mg/kg), and U50488H (0.02 and 0.2 mg/kg). All drugs were diluted in 5 ml of saline (0.9% NaCl) solution and infused IV for 5 minutes. The MAC of isoflurane was determined in triplicate, the drug administered, and the MAC of isoflurane redetermined for a period of 3 hours. RESULTS: All drugs had a significant effect on MAC over time. With morphine only, the effect on MAC over time was different between doses. The greatest mean (+/- SD) reductions in MAC of isoflurane in response to morphine, butorphanol, buprenorphine, and U50488H administration were 28 +/- 9, 19 +/- 3, 14 +/- 7, and 11 +/- 7%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Morphine (1.0 mg/kg) and butorphanol (0.08 and 0.8 mg/kg) induced significant reductions in MAC of isoflurane that were considered clinically important. Although significant, reductions in MAC of isoflurane induced by morphine (0.1 mg/kg), buprenorphine (0.005 and 0.05 mg/kg), and U50488H (0.02 and 0.2 mg/kg) were not considered clinically relevant because they fell within the error of the measurement technique. Administration of morphine or butorphanol decreases the need for potent inhalant anesthetics in cats and could potentially be beneficial in combination with inhalants.  相似文献

Reduction of isoflurane MAC by fentanyl or remifentanil in rats   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  
Objective The main objective of the study was to determine the effects of three different infusion rates of fentanyl and remifentanil on the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of isoflurane in the rat. A secondary objective was to assess the cardiovascular and respiratory effects of the two opioid drugs. Animal population Thirty‐seven male Wistar rats were randomly allocated to one of six treatment groups. Material and methods For all treatment groups anaesthesia was induced with 5% isoflurane in oxygen using an induction chamber. A 14‐gauge catheter was used for endotracheal intubation, and anaesthesia was maintained with isoflurane delivered in oxygen via a T‐piece breathing system. A baseline determination of the minimum alveolar concentration of isoflurane (MACISO) was made for each animal. Fentanyl (15, 30, 60 µg kg?1 hour?1) or remifentanil (60, 120, 240 µg kg?1 hour?1) were infused intravenously into a previously cannulated tail vein. Thirty minutes after the infusion started, a second MACISO (MACISO+drug) was determined. The carotid artery was cannulated to monitor the arterial pressure and to take samples for arterial gas measurements. Cardiovascular (heart rate and arterial pressure) and respiratory (respiratory rate and presence/absence of apnoea) effects after opioid infusion were also recorded. Results Fentanyl (15, 30, 60 µg kg?1 hour?1) and remifentanil (60, 120, 240 µg kg?1 hour?1) similarly reduced isoflurane MAC in a dose‐dependent fashion: by 10% at lower doses, 25% at medium doses and by 60% at higher doses of both the drugs. Both opioids reduced the respiratory rate in a similar way for all doses tested. No episodes of apnoea were recorded in the remifentanil groups, while administration of fentanyl resulted in apnoea in three animals (one at each dose level). The effects on the cardiovascular system were similar with both drugs. Conclusions We conclude that the intraoperative use of remifentanil in the rat reduces the MAC of isoflurane, and that this anaesthetic sparing effect is dose‐dependent and similar to that produced by fentanyl at the doses tested. Clinical relevance The use of remifentanil during inhalant anaesthesia in the rat can be considered an intravenous alternative to fentanyl, providing similar reduction in isoflurane requirements. Due to its rapid offset, it is recommended that alternative pain relief be instituted before it is discontinued.  相似文献

Recently, decreased activity levels have been observed in pigs treated postoperatively with transdermal delivery of fentanyl (TD-fentanyl) after isoflurane anaesthesia. Whether the change in behaviour is related to opioid-induced sedation or to insufficient pain relief remains to be investigated. This study was therefore undertaken to evaluate the effect of TD-fentanyl 50 microg h(-1) on the activity level with and without isoflurane anaesthesia. Eight pigs (25.4 +/- 5.2 kg) were submitted to a cross-over study and given two treatments; 1) fentanyl patch applied after 30 minutes of anaesthesia (treatment A/F) and 2) fentanyl patch without anaesthesia (treatment F). The pigs' behaviour was observed from a video recording instantaneously every 10 minutes for 24 h before treatments and up to 72 h after the patch attachment. Venous blood samples were taken 1, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h after the patch application. The behaviour recordings showed that TD-fentanyl did not produce sedation in any pig. No differences were found between the two treatments in activity level, weight gain or serum fentanyl concentration. This concentration measured after 24 h was 0.27 +/- 0.11 ng ml(-1) and 0.47 +/- 0.40 ng ml(-1) in the A/F and F group, respectively. In conclusion, transdermal delivery of 50 microg h(-1) fentanyl did not cause inactivity in growing pigs. However, the large variations in serum fentanyl concentration indicate that drug absorption from transdermal patches is unpredictable and sometimes deficient.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To compare plasma fentanyl concentrations and analgesic efficacy during full or partial exposure to 25-microg/h transdermal fentanyl patches (TFPs) in cats undergoing ovariohysterectomy. DESIGN: Randomized controlled clinical trial. ANIMALS: 16 client-owned cats. PROCEDURE: Cats were randomly assigned to receive full or partial exposure to a TFP; patches were applied approximately 24 hours prior to ovariohysterectomy. Rectal temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, blood glucose concentration, and blood pressure were measured and pain severity was assessed periodically for 72 hours after patch application. Venous blood samples were collected for determination of plasma fentanyl concentration 0, 6, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 hours after patch application. RESULTS: Mean +/- SD steady state plasma fentanyl concentration in cats in the full TFP exposure group (1.78 +/- 0.92 ng/mL) was significantly greater than concentration in cats in the partial exposure group (1.14 +/- 0.86 ng/mL). Steady state plasma fentanyl concentrations were evident between 18 and 72 hours after patch application. Subjective scores used to evaluate analgesic efficacy were not significantly different between treatment groups. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Results suggest that delivery of fentanyl from TFPs can be reduced by decreasing the amount of exposed surface area. In cats weighing < 4 kg (9 lb), exposure to half a 25-microg/h TFP appears to provide adequate analgesia following ovariohysterectomy.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine the serum concentrations and sedative effects of fentanyl after transdermal administration at 3 dosages in llamas. ANIMALS: 9 healthy adult female llamas (mean age, 8 +/- 3 years; mean weight, 150 +/- 18 kg). PROCEDURE: Llamas were allocated to 1 of 3 groups (3 llamas/group). Fentanyl patches (each providing transdermal delivery of 75 microg of fentanyl/h) were placed on shaved areas of the antebrachium of all llamas. In group 1, llamas were treated with 1 patch (anticipated fentanyl dosage, 75 microg/h). In group 2, llamas were treated with 2 patches (anticipated fentanyl dosage, 150 microg/h). In group 3, llamas were treated with 4 patches (anticipated fentanyl dosage, 300 microg/h). For each llama, the degree of sedation was assessed by use of a subjective scoring system and a blood sample was collected for determination of serum fentanyl concentration at 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 hours after patch placement. RESULTS: Following the placement of 4 patches, mean +/- SD serum fentanyl concentration in group 3 llamas reached 0.3 +/- 0.08 ng/mL within 12 hours. This concentration was sustained for 72 hours. In group 2, application of 2 patches provided inconsistent results; in group 1, application of 1 patch rarely provided measurable serum fentanyl concentrations. No llamas became sedated at any time. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Results suggest that application of four 75 microg/h fentanyl patches provides consistent, sustained serum fentanyl concentrations without sedation in llamas. However, the serum concentration of fentanyl that provides analgesia in llamas is not known.  相似文献
