Objective

To evaluate the effect of limited fluid volume resuscitation (LFVR) administration in cats with severe shock that was unresponsive to initial conventional resuscitation (CR) with isotonic crystalloids.

Study design

Clinical pilot study.

Animals

Ten client-owned cats with non-cardiogenic shock, unresponsive to CR.

Methods

After an initial ineffective CR with isotonic crystalloids (15–20 mL kg?1 in 15 minutes), LFVR was started. The animals were randomly assigned to one of two treatments: hypertonic saline alone (group HTS) or HTS and hydroxyethyl starch (HES) (group HTS/HES). A first bolus of HTS (2 mL kg–1) was administered to both groups, immediately followed by HES (2 mL kg?1) to group HTS/HES over 5–10 minutes and vital signs were re-evaluated. Additional boluses were administered, every 5–10 minutes, until stabilization (vital parameters, such as temperature, heart rate, respiratory frequency, quality of the pulse and sensorium within the physiological ranges). The time until stabilization (minutes), the volume of HTS and colloid administered and the effect of LFVR on vital parameters were determined.

Results

A mean ± standard deviation (range) volume of 3 ± 2 (2–6) mL kg?1 of hypertonic saline in group HTS and 4 ± 2 (2–6) mL kg?1 of both hypertonic and colloidal solutions in group HTS/HES was administered. In six cats (60%), a single bolus of HTS alone (group HTS; n = 3/4) or in combination with HES (group HTS/HES; n = 3/6) was sufficient for stabilization. In the remaining four cases (40%), a second bolus was required. Stabilization occurred in 33 ± 13 minutes (15–60 minutes). Of the 10 cats, six had a positive outcome (6–24 months follow-up) and the others died during hospitalization.

Conclusions and clinical relevance

LFVR appears to be an efficacious treatment for feline shock and may be an alternative therapy for cats unresponsive to CR. Larger cross-sectional and prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether hypertonic saline infusion would prevent hypotension and pituitary-adrenocortical axis activation during halothane anesthesia after acepromazine premedication and thiopental induction in sheep. STUDY DESIGN: Randomized crossover study. ANIMALS: Six Welsh Mountain ewes weighing 40+/-2 kg and aged 2 to 3 years. METHODS: The sheep were studied on two occasions with 2 weeks between anesthetics. After acepromazine premedication, anesthesia was induced with thiopental and maintained for 120 minutes with halothane. During the first 15 minutes of anesthesia, 7.5% saline (4 mL/kg) was infused intravenously (HS group), but no infusion was given in the control (CONT) group. Sequential blood samples were taken for blood gas, cortisol, adenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), glucose, and lactate assay. RESULTS: Hypotension developed in both treatments; blood pressure decreased to a nadir of 58+/-5 mm Hg in the HS group and to 63+/-4 mm Hg in the CONT group (P>.05). Plasma cortisol increased significantly in both groups, reaching a peak of 420+/-130 nmol/L in HS and 483+/-157 nmol/L in CONT (P>.05). ACTH increased similarly in both groups, reaching 128+/-64 pmol/L in HS and 134+/-55 pmol/L in CONT (P>.05). pH was slightly higher in CONT, but no other differences were detected between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: Hypertonic saline did not ameliorate the adrenocortical response during anesthesia; this may be a result of its failure to prevent the hypotension.  相似文献

Under isoflurane anesthesia, 50% of the calculated blood volume was removed from 11 dogs. After 30 minutes, five dogs were treated with hypertonic saline and dextran (HSD) (5 mL/kg) followed by isotonic saline solution (2 mL/kg) intraosseously. Six dogs (controls) received isotonic saline (7 mL/kg) intraosseously. All treatments were administered through the medullary cavity of the tibia over a 30-minute period. Cardiac output, mean arterial pressure, central venous pressure, packed cell volume, total protein, and blood gases were monitored for 4 hours. Cardiac output, mean arterial pressure, and circulating volume (indicated by packed cell volume and total protein) were significantly improved after administration of HSD. We conclude that intraosseous infusion of HSD is efficacious in treating hemorrhagic shock and believe the technique may prove to be useful in clinical situations when intravenous lines cannot be established rapidly.  相似文献

ObjectiveTo evaluate the cardiovascular effects of a preload of hydroxyethylstarch 6% (HES), preceding an epidural administration of ropivacaine 0.75% in isoflurane anaesthetized dogs.AnimalsSix female, neutered Beagle dogs (mean 13.3 ± SD 1.0 kg; 3.6 ± 0.1 years).Study designRandomized experimental cross-over study (washout of 1 month).MethodsAnaesthesia was induced with propofol and maintained with isoflurane in oxygen/air. All dogs were anaesthetized twice to receive either treatment HESR (continuous rate infusion [CRI] of 7 mL kg?1 HES started 30 minutes [T-30] prior to epidural administration of ropivacaine 0.75% 1.65 mg kg?1 at T0) or treatment R (no HES preload and similar dose and timing of epidural ropivacaine administration). Baseline measurements were obtained at T-5. Heart rate (HR), mean (MAP), diastolic (DAP) and systolic (SAP) invasive arterial pressures, cardiac output (Lithium dilution and pulse contour analysis) and derived parameters were recorded every 5 minutes for 60 minutes. Statistical analysis was performed on five dogs, due to the death of one dog.ResultsClinically relevant decreases in MAP (<60 mmHg) were observed for 20 and 40 minutes following epidural administration in treatments HESR and R respectively. Significant decreases in MAP and DAP were present after treatment HESR for up to 20 minutes following epidural administration. No significant within-treatment and overall differences were observed for other cardiovascular parameters. A transient unilateral Horner's syndrome occurred in two dogs (one in each treatment). One dog died after severe hypotension, associated with epidural anaesthesia.Conclusions and clinical relevanceA CRI of 7 mL kg?1 HES administered over 30 minutes before epidural treatment did not prevent hypotension induced by epidural ropivacaine 0.75%. Epidural administration of ropivacaine 0.75% in isoflurane anaesthetized dogs was associated with a high incidence of adverse effects in this study.  相似文献

Objective To characterize the acute cardiopulmonary effects of severe hemorrhage in anesthetized horses. Study design Prospective experimental study. Animals Three geldings and six mares, aged 14.4 ± 2.7 years, weighing 486 ± 41 kg (range: 425–550 kg). Methods Horses were anesthetized using xylazine, guaifenesin, ketamine and halothane or isoflurane. Cardiovascular variables, hematocrit, total solids, capillary refill time (CRT) and color of mucous membranes were measured as blood was collected from the carotid artery into sterile plastic bags. Arterial blood gas analysis was also performed. Results The average amount of blood collected from these horses was (mean ± SD) 53 ± 4.8 mL kg?1 bodyweight (range: 23–32 kg) over 39 ± 4 minutes. Hematocrit decreased from 38 ± 3 to 32 ± 2% after induction of anesthesia and did not change significantly over the period of blood loss. Total solids decreased significantly after induction of anesthesia, and over the period of blood loss. Systolic, mean, diastolic and pulse pressures decreased as blood was lost. Heart rate did not change significantly. Capillary refill time increased from 1.6 ± 0.4 seconds to 4.8 ± 1.3 seconds as blood loss increased. Mucous membrane color deteriorated progressively. Arterial PO2 decreased significantly over the period of blood loss. Conclusions Hematocrit and heart rate do not change significantly during acute severe hemorrhage in the anesthetized horse. Arterial blood pressure, pulse pressure and PaO2 decrease as blood loss increases. Changes in mucous membrane color and CRT also occur as blood loss increases. Clinical relevance During severe hemorrhage in the inhalant‐anesthetized horse, both heart rate and hematocrit remain unchanged. Blood pressure decreases and changes in arterial PO2 correlate most strongly with volume of blood lost.  相似文献

ObjectiveTo investigate changes in colloid osmotic pressure (COP), total protein (TP) and osmolality (OSM) during anesthesia in horses given intravenous lactated Ringer’s solution (LRS) or LRS and hetastarch (HES).Study designProspective, clinical trial.AnimalsFourteen horses presented for surgery. Mean age 8.3 ± 1.9 years; mean weight 452 ± 25 kg.MethodsHorses were premedicated with xylazine intravenously (IV); anesthesia was induced with ketamine and diazepam IV, and maintained with sevoflurane. Butorphanol was administered IV with pre-medications or immediately after induction. Xylazine was administered IV for recovery if necessary. LRS was administered IV to all horses with a target rate of 5–10 mL kg?1 hour?1. Half of the horses also received 6% HES, 2.5 mL kg?1 over 1 hour in addition to LRS. Horses that received LRS only were considered the LRS group. Horses that received both LRS and HES were considered the LRS/HES group. Blood was drawn pre- and post-anesthesia, immediately following induction, and every 30 minutes throughout anesthesia. COP, TP and OSM were measured.ResultsCOP and TP significantly decreased at similar rates for both treatment groups from pre-anesthetic values. Pre-anesthetic COP was significantly greater in the LRS group when compared to the LRS/HES group pre-, post- and throughout anesthesia. In the LRS group post-anesthetic OSM was significantly different than the pre-anesthesia value and that for the LRS/HES group.Conclusions and clinical relevanceAdministration of IV HES (2.5 mL kg?1, over 1 hour) in combination with LRS does not attenuate the decrease in COP typically seen during anesthesia with crystalloid administration alone. Based on these results, administration of HES at this rate and total volume would not be expected to prevent fluid shifts into the interstitium through its effects on COP.  相似文献

Objective— To estimate maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and time to maximum plasma (tmax) bupivacaine concentration after intra‐articular administration of bupivacaine for single injection (SI) and injection followed by continuous infusion (CI) in normal dogs. Study Design— Cross‐over design with a 2‐week washout period. Animals— Healthy Coon Hound dogs (n=8). Methods— Using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, canine plasma bupivacaine concentration was measured before and after SI (1.5 mg/kg) and CI (1.5 mg/kg and 0.3 mg/kg/h). Software was used to establish plasma concentration–time curves and estimate Cmax, Tmax and other pharmacokinetic variables for comparison of SI and CI. Results— Bupivacaine plasma concentration after SI and CI best fit a 3 exponential model. For SI, mean maximum concentration (Cmax, 1.33±0.954 μg/mL) occurred at 11.37±4.546 minutes. For CI, mean Cmax (1.13±0.509 μg/mL) occurred at 10.37±4.109 minutes. The area under the concentration–time curve was smaller for SI (143.59±118.390 μg/mL × min) than for CI (626.502±423.653 μg/mL × min, P=.02) and half‐life was shorter for SI (61.33±77.706 minutes) than for CI (245.363±104.415 minutes, P=.01). The highest plasma bupivacaine concentration for any dog was 3.2 μg/mL for SI and 2.3 μg/mL for CI. Conclusion— Intra‐articular bupivacaine administration results in delayed absorption from the stifle into the systemic circulation with mean Cmax below that considered toxic and no systemic drug accumulation. Clinical Relevance— Intra‐articular bupivacaine can be administered with small risk of reaching toxic plasma concentrations in dogs, though toxic concentrations may be approached. Caution should be exercised with multimodal bupivacaine administration because plasma drug concentration may rise higher than with single intra‐articular injection.  相似文献

Siao, K. T., Pypendop, B. H., Stanley, S. D., Ilkiw, J. E. Pharmacokinetics of oxymorphone in cats. J. vet. Pharmacol. Therap. 34 , 594–598. This study reports the pharmacokinetics of oxymorphone in spayed female cats after intravenous administration. Six healthy adult domestic shorthair spayed female cats were used. Oxymorphone (0.1 mg/kg) was administered intravenously as a bolus. Blood samples were collected immediately prior to oxymorphone administration and at various times up to 480 min following administration. Plasma oxymorphone concentrations were determined by liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry, and plasma oxymorphone concentration–time data were fitted to compartmental models. A three‐compartment model, with input in and elimination from the central compartment, best described the disposition of oxymorphone following intravenous administration. The apparent volume of distribution of the central compartment and apparent volume of distribution at steady state [mean ± SEM (range)] and the clearance and terminal half‐life [harmonic mean ± jackknife pseudo‐SD (range)] were 1.1 ± 0.2 (0.4–1.7) L/kg, 2.5 ± 0.4 (2.4–4.4) L/kg, 26 ± 7 (18–38) mL/min.kg, and 96 ± 49 (62–277) min, respectively. The disposition of oxymorphone in cats is characterized by a moderate volume of distribution and a short terminal half‐life.  相似文献

Objective– Failure of passive transfer in neonatal alpacas is often corrected by IV administration of commercial camelid plasma. The goal of this study was to characterize changes in pulmonary function, gas exchange, and cardiovascular parameters associated with IV plasma transfusion. Design– Prospective clinical study. Setting– A university‐based referral hospital. Animals– Eleven clinically healthy alpaca crias (age: 1–18 days) with failure of passive transfer (IgG<8 g/L [800 mg/dL]). Interventions– Thirty milliliters per kilogram of commercial camelid plasma was administered IV over 90 minutes. Before and after the transfusion, the following cardiopulmonary measurements were obtained: arterial blood gas analysis, pulmonary functional residual capacity (FRC), PCV, total plasma protein and echocardiographic M‐mode measures. Additionally, central venous pressure and indirect arterial blood pressure were monitored throughout the plasma transfusion. Measurements and Main Results– The IV plasma transfusion resulted in significantly reduced PCV (−5.4±5.1%), increased total plasma protein (+4±4 g/L [0.4±0.4 g/dL]), elevated central venous pressure and changes in left and right ventricular M‐mode indices, consistent with plasma volume expansion. Transfusion was further associated with a significant increase in arterial oxygen pressure (PaO2) (+11.2±15 mm Hg) and decrease in FRC (−5.6±8.3 mL/kg). Conclusions– IV administration of 30 mL/kg camelid plasma to neonatal crias resulted in measurable plasma volume expansion and a concurrent reduction in FRC. Administration of this quantity of plasma appeared to be safe in healthy neonatal crias. However, changes in lung volume associated with plasma administration may create risks for crias with underlying cardiopulmonary or systemic disease.  相似文献

The effect of four anesthetic protocols on splenic size in dogs   总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1  
Objective To characterize the effects of four anesthetic protocols on the size of the spleen during surgery in dogs. Study design Prospective experimental trial. Animals Twenty‐four beagle dogs, 1.1 ± 0.3 years of age and weighing 10.9 ± 2.7 kg. Methods Dogs were allocated to receive one of four anesthetic protocols: 1 – pre‐medication with acepromazine and butorphanol, induction with thiopental; 2 – pre‐medication with acepromazine and butorphanol, induction with propofol; 3 – pre‐medication with medetomidine and butorphanol, induction with propofol; and 4 – pre‐medication with medetomidine and butorphanol, induction with ketamine and diazepam. Anesthesia was then maintained with halothane. At laparotomy, the spleen length, width, and height were measured, these were measured again just prior to closure of the abdomen. Splenic area and volume were calculated. Hematocrit and total serum protein (TSP) were measured before and after induction and during laparotomy. Results Splenic volume was greatest after protocol 4 (161.2 ± 40.2 cm3; p < 0.05) and was least after protocol 2. The differences in volume were because of differences in length, width, and height between groups. There was no significant change in area, length, or width over the study period. Hematocrit decreased significantly in all dogs but at different times. The decrease occurred after pre‐medication if acepromazine was administered, at induction following protocol 3 and during surgery following protocol 4. Conclusions If splenic volume is to be minimized during surgery, then acepromazine and propofol should be used in the anesthetic protocol. The administration of medetomidine, diazepam, and ketamine will produce a greater splenic volume. Lack of correlation between hematocrit and spleen size following the anesthetic protocols studied suggests sequestration of red blood cells in nonsplenic sites.  相似文献

Acute haemolysis occurred in medetomidine-atropine premedicated dogs (n=6) after infusion of etomidate in 35% propylene glycol (etomidate-PG). Free plasma haemoglobin concentration was 12.0 +3.5 μg/dl at baseline. After premedication (medetomidine 15 μg/kg, IM; atropine 0.044 mg/kg, IM) values were 14 ± 5.2 and 20 ± 4.8 mg/dl, at 5 and 10 minutes, respectively. Plasma haemoglobin values increased significantly (p±0.05; 121 +24.2 mg/dl) 5 minutes after etomidate-PG loading dose (0.5 mg/kg) and infusion (50μg/kg/min) and remained significantly elevated (127 ± 12.7 to 310.6 ± 69.3 mg/dl) throughout the 60-minute infusion period. Acute haemolysis was also observed in dogs (n=3) that received etomidate-PG infusion alone (2 mg/kg loading dose followed by 110 μg/ kg/ min constant infusion). In addition, fresh dog blood (n=3) was incubated alone or with either 0.9% saline or etomidate-PG in test tubes for 5 minutes and free plasma haemoglobin concentration measured. Free plasma haemoglobin concentrations were 18.3 ± 6.8, 11.7 +4.5 and 1712.0 ± 309.6 mg/dl for blood alone, saline-blood and etomidate-PG-blood, respectively. It was concluded that etomidate-PG caused acute haemolysis in dogs both in vivo and in vitro. The clinical significance of this amount of haemolysis is not clear at this time and thus, requires further study.  相似文献

We prospectively studied 18 dogs that presented for exploratory stifle arthrotomy, with or without meniscectomy, and lateral extracapsular stabilization as a result of cranial cruciate ligament rupture. Dogs were premedicated with acepromazine, induced with thiopental, and maintained with halothane in oxygen. Preoperatively, dogs were assigned to one of three groups. Group 1 (n = 6) received intra-articular morphine (0.1 mg/kg diluted in 1 mL/10 kg body weight of saline) and epidural saline (1 mL/5 kg body weight saline plus the volume of saline representing 0.1 mg/kg of morphine). Group 2 (n = 6) received intra-articular saline (1 mL/10 kg body weight of saline plus the volume of saline representing 0.1 mg/kg of morphine) and epidural saline (1 mL/5 kg body weight saline plus the volume of saline representing 0.1 mg/kg of morphine). Group 3 (n = 6) received intra-articular saline (1 mL/10 kg body weight of saline plus the volume of saline representing 0.1 mg/kg of morphine) and epidural morphine (0.1 mg/kg of morphine diluted in 1 mL/5 kg body weight saline). The efficacy of each analgesia regimen was evaluated for 6 hours postoperatively with a pain score based on subjective and objective variables. Serum Cortisol and blood glucose concentrations were measured. Butorphanol was used to provide analgesia as needed based on a predetermined maximum pain score. Supplemental analgesics were required postoperatively every 2 to 3 hours for 6 hours in all dogs that did not initially receive analgesics (group 2). Pain scores were significantly lower in dogs administered morphine intra-articularly (group 1) and epidurally (group 3) at 30 minutes and 30, 120, and 360 minutes, respectively, compared with dogs that did not initially receive analgesics (group 2). One dog in group 1 and one dog in group 3 required supplemental analgesia with butorphanol. There was no difference between analgesia produced by intra-articular morphine compared with that of epidural morphine. Side effects after intra-articular or epidural morphine were not observed. Intra-articular administration of morphine can produce effective analgesia in dogs comparable with that produced by epidural administration of morphine.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Small volume resuscitation has been advocated as a beneficial therapy for endotoxemia in horses but this therapy has not been investigated in a prospective manner. The objective of this study was to determine the cardiopulmonary effects of small-volume resuscitation using hypertonic saline solution (HSS) plus Hetastarch (HES) during experimental endotoxemia in anesthetized horses. HYPOTHESIS: Treatment of horses with induced endotoxemia using HES-HSS does not alter the response of various cardiopulmonary indices when compared to treatment with either small- or large-volume isotonic crystalloid solutions. ANIMALS: Eighteen healthy horses were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 groups. Anesthesia was maintained with halothane. Endotoxemia was induced by administering 50 microg/kg of Escherichia coli endotoxin IV. The horses were treated over 30 minutes with 15 mL/kg of balanced polyionic crystalloid solution (control), 60 mL/kg of balanced polyionic crystalloid solution (ISO), or 5 mL/kg of HSS followed by 10 mL/kg of HES (HSS-HES). METHODS: Prospective randomized trial. RESULTS: Cardiac output (CO) after endotoxin infusion increased significantly (P < .05) from baseline in all groups, whereas mean central venous pressure increased significantly (P < .05) in the ISO group only. Mean pulmonary artery pressure increased from baseline (P < .05) in horses treated with isotonic fluids and HSS-HES. There was no effect of treatment with HSS-HES on CO, systemic vascular resistance (SVR), mean arterial pressure, blood lactate concentrations, or arterial oxygenation. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: The use of HSS-HES failed to ameliorate the deleterious hemodynamic responses associated with endotoxemia in horses. The clinical value of this treatment in horses with endotoxemia remains unconfirmed.  相似文献

ObjectiveTo determine the impact of epidural phentolamine on the duration of anaesthesia following epidural injection of lidocaine–epinephrine.Study designBlinded randomized experimental study.AnimalsA group of 12 adult ewes weighing 25.7 ± 2.3 kg and aged 8–9 months.MethodsAll sheep were administered epidural lidocaine (approximately 4 mg kg–1) and epinephrine (5 μg mL–1). Of these, six sheep were randomized into three epidural treatments, separated by 1 week, administered 30 minutes after lidocaine–epinephrine: SAL: normal saline, PHE1: phentolamine (1 mg) and PHE2: phentolamine (2 mg). The other six sheep were administered only epidural lidocaine–epinephrine: treatment LIDEP. Each injection was corrected to 5 mL using 0.9% saline. Noxious stimuli were pinpricks with a hypodermic needle and skin pinch with haemostatic forceps to determine the onset and duration of sensory and motor block. Heart rate, noninvasive mean arterial pressure (MAP), respiratory rate and rectal temperature were recorded.ResultsThe onset times were not different among treatments. Duration of sensory block was significantly shorter in SAL (57.5 ± 6.2 minutes), PHE1 (60.7 ± 9.0 minutes) and PHE2 (62.0 ± 6.7 minutes) than in LIDEP (81.7 ± 13.4 minutes) (p < 0.05). Duration of motor blockade was significantly shorter in PHE1 (59.4 ± 5.4 minutes) and PHE2 (54.3 ± 4.0 minutes) than in SAL (84.8 ± 7.0 minutes) and LIDEP (91.5 ± 18.2 minutes) (p < 0.01). MAP in PHE2 was decreased at 10 minutes after administration of phentolamine (p < 0.05).Conclusion and clinical relevanceEpidural administration of 5 mL normal saline after epidural injection of lidocaine–epinephrine reduced the duration of sensory but not motor block in sheep. Epidural administration of phentolamine diluted to the final volume of 5 mL diminished both the duration of sensory and motor block in sheep administered epidural lidocaine–epinephrine.  相似文献

This study was conducted to determine the effects of intravenous detomidine on Schirmer tear test (STT) results in clinically normal horses. Eighteen adult horses were randomly divided into two groups of nine horses each. The treatment group was sedated with intravenous detomidine alone (20 μg/kg), and the control group received only intravenous saline (0.2 mL/100 kg). Schirmer tear test was performed just before intravenous administration of detomidine or saline in treatment and control groups, respectively. Schirmer tear tests were repeated 5, 20, 60, and 120 minutes later. Horses enrolled in this study consisted of nine males and nine females. Breeds were Arabian and Hanoverian, ranging from 3 to 6 years in age. In the treatment group, the pretreatment and subsequent posttreatment mean ± standard deviation values were 17.0 ± 6.9 (0 minutes), 11.8 ± 2.9 (5 minutes), 12.1 ± 2.0 (20 minutes), 12.1 ± 3.1 (60 minutes), and 15.0 ± 2.8 (120 minutes) mm wetting/min. In this group of horses, a significant reduction was observed in STT values at 5, 20, and 60 minutes after treatment with detomidine hydrochloride in comparison to the pretreatment values (analysis of variance with post hoc testing; P5 = 0.004, P20 = 0.007, P60 = 0.006). There was no significant difference between baseline values and posttreatment values in the control saline group (P ≥ .08). We conclude that intravenous detomidine causes a significant reduction in STT values in clinically normal horses. In horses, practitioners should measure STT values before intravenous administration of detomidine to accurately assess the results.  相似文献

In pregnant sheep at 120–130 days of gestational age, a study was undertaken in order to characterize the pharmacokinetics and transplacental exchange of Ivermectin after maternal or fetal intravenous administration. Eight pregnant Suffolk Down sheep of 73.2 ± 3.7 kg body weight (bw) were surgically prepared in order to insert polyvinyl catheters in the fetal femoral artery and vein and amniotic sac. Following 48 h of recovery, the ewes were randomly assigned to two experimental groups. In group 1, (maternal injection) five ewes were treated with an intravenous bolus of 0.2 mg ivermectin/kg bw. In group 2, (fetal injection) three ewes were injected with an intravenous bolus of 1 mg of ivermectin to the fetus through a fetal femoral vein catheter. Maternal and fetal blood and amniotic fluid samples were taken before and after ivermectin administration for a period of 144 h post‐treatment. Samples were analyzed by liquid chromatography (HPLC). A computerized non‐compartmental pharmacokinetic analysis was performed and the results were compared by means of the Student t‐test. The main pharmacokinetic changes observed in the maternal compartment were increases in the volume of distribution and in the half‐life of elimination (t½β). A limited maternal‐fetal transfer of ivermectin was evidenced by a low fetal Cmax (1.72 ± 0.6 ng/mL) and AUC (89.1 ± 11.4 ng·h/mL). While the fetal administration of ivermectin resulted in higher values of clearance (554.1 ± 177.9 mL/kg) and lower values of t½β (8.0 ± 1.4 h) and mean residence time (8.0 ± 2.9 h) indicating that fetal‐placental unit is highly efficient in eliminating the drug as well as limiting the transfer of ivermectin from the maternal to fetal compartment.  相似文献

Knych, H. K., Casbeer, H. C., McKemie, D. S., Arthur, R. M. Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of butorphanol following intravenous administration to the horse. J. vet. Pharmacol. Therap.  36 , 21–30. Butorphanol is a narcotic analgesic commonly used in horses. Currently, any detectable concentration of butorphanol in biological samples collected from performance horses is considered a violation. The primary goal of the study reported here was to update the pharmacokinetics of butorphanol following intravenous administration, utilizing a highly sensitive liquid chromatography‐mass spectrometry (LC‐MS) assay that is currently employed in many drug‐testing laboratories. An additional objective was to characterize behavioral and cardiac effects following administration of butorphanol. Ten exercised adult horses received a single intravenous dose of 0.1 mg/kg butorphanol. Blood and urine samples were collected at time 0 and at various times for up to 120 h and analyzed using LC‐MS. Mean ± SD systemic clearance, steady‐state volume of distribution, and terminal elimination half‐life were 11.5 ± 2.5 mL/min/kg, 1.4 ± 0.3 L/kg, and 5.9 ± 1.5 h, respectively. Butorphanol plasma concentrations were below the limit of detection (LOD) (0.01 ng/mL) by 48 h post administration. Urine butorphanol concentrations were below the LOD (0.05 ng/mL) of the assay in seven of 10 horses by 120 h post drug administration. Following administration, horses appeared excited as noted by an increase in heart rate and locomotion. Gastrointestinal sounds were markedly decreased for up to 24 h.  相似文献

Objective To compare the anti‐nociceptive effects of extradural xylazine, fentanyl and a xylazine–fentanyl combination in sheep, and to measure the cardiopulmonary effects of the xylazine–fentanyl combination. Study design Prospective, randomized study. Animals Twenty‐five half‐merino ewes 2–4 years of age and body mass 54.2 ± 1.1 kg. Methods Six sheep in group 1 received 0.2 mg kg?1 xylazine by extradural injection, six in group 2 received fentanyl 1.5 µg kg?1 and 13 in group 3 received the combination of both treatments. In all groups, drugs were mixed with saline (0.15 mL kg?1 before injection). Pulmonary and carotid arterial catheters were placed in seven sheep of group 3 which were used to evaluate cardiopulmonary effects. Anti‐nociception was determined by the response to electrical stimulation (40 V for 1.5 milliseconds) of the left flank and by superficial and deep muscular ‘pinpricking’ stimulation of the pelvic and thoracic limbs and thoracolumbar region. Results Lack of response to electrical stimulation at the left flank was present in 10 ± 1.1 minutes (mean ± SEM) (group 1) and in 4.5 ± 0.5 minutes in group 3. The duration of lack of response to electrical stimulation at the left flank was 96 ± 6 minutes in group 1 and 315 ± 6 minutes in group 3. Responses persisted in group 3. Significant decreases (p < 0.05) in cardiac output 30, 45, 60 and 90 minutes after injection, and in cardiac work at 30 and 45 minutes were observed in the seven animals of group 3. Arterial blood pH was lowest at 90 minutes, arterial bicarbonate was lowest at 60 minutes and values for both arterial and mixed venous base excess increased significantly at 60 and 90 minutes. There was no significant change from baseline values in heart rate, mean arterial blood pressure, respiratory rate, body temperature, systemic vascular resistance, arterial and mixed venous PO2, PCO2, oxygen saturation, blood oxygen content, haemoglobin concentration, mixed venous blood bicarbonate and pH. Conclusions Fentanyl decreases the onset time and prolongs the duration of anti‐nociception produced by xylazine. The combination decreases cardiac output but is without significant respiratory effects. Clinical relevance Further studies are required to show that surgery is possible in sheep after extradural xylazine–fentanyl injection.  相似文献

Pharmacokinetics of acyclovir in adult horses   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  
Objective: To determine the pharmacokinetics of acyclovir administered intravenously (IV) and orally to healthy adult horses. Design: Random cross‐over with an approximate 1‐week washout period between trials. Setting: University veterinary medical teaching hospital. Animals: Six healthy adult research herd horses. Interventions and main results: Acyclovir was administered IV (10 mg/kg in 1 L isotonic crystalloid solution over 60 minutes) and orally (20 mg/kg) to healthy adult horses. Plasma samples were obtained and acyclovir concentrations were determined by high‐pressure liquid chromatography. Peak concentration (mean±SD) for IV acyclovir was 13.74±5.88 μg/mL at the completion of the 1‐hour infusion. The half‐life of the distribution phase (α) was 0.16 hours while the half‐life of the elimination phase (β) was 9.6 hours. The steady‐state volume of distribution was 3.93±1.21 L/kg. We were unable to measure pharmacokinetics after PO acyclovir as plasma concentrations were below the lower limits of detection in all 6 horses. Conclusions: IV administration of acyclovir to healthy adult horses achieves concentrations within the sensitivity range described for equine herpes virus‐type 1. The oral bioavailability of acyclovir in horses is low and additional studies are required.  相似文献

The effects of intravenously administered atropine (0.2 mg/kg) and glycopyrrolate (0.01 mg/kg) on heart rate were studied in 10 conscious mature goats. In a drug cross-over fashion, either atropine, glycopyrrolate, or 0.9% saline solution was administered using the same volume (0.05 mL/kg). Atropine and glycopyrrolate caused a significant increase in heart rate ( P <.05), whereas saline solution (0.09%) did not. The mean percent changes in heart rate from baseline were similar for atropine and glycopyrrolate up to 14 minutes after administration. Thereafter, glycopyrrolate had a significantly greater mean change in heart rate than atropine, ie, up to 29 minutes ( P <.05). Within the atropine group, the mean percentage changes in heart rate became significantly lower compared with the initial increase (1 minute) starting at 11 minutes. For the glycopyrrolate group, the mean percent changes became significantly lower starting at 27 minutes. Glycopyrrolate and atropine had a mean percentage change in heart rate of greater than 1.0%, up to 31 and 22 minutes, respectively. At the doses used, glycopyrrolate had longer duration of action than atropine but the magnitude of increase was similar.  相似文献
