Combined use of detomidine with opiates in the horse   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  
The effects of administration of one of four opiates (pethidine 1 mg/kg bodyweight (bwt), morphine 0.1 mg/kg bwt, methadone 0.1 mg/kg bwt, and butorphanol 0.05 mg/kg bwt) given intravenously to horses and ponies already sedated with detomidine (10 micrograms/kg bwt) were investigated. Behavioural, cardiovascular and respiratory effects of the combinations were compared with those occurring with detomidine alone. Addition of the opiate increased the apparent sedation and decreased the response of the animal to external stimuli. At doses used, butorphanol produced the most reliable response. Side effects seen were increased ataxia (greatest following methadone and butorphanol) and excitement (usually muzzle tremors and muscle twitching). Following pethidine, generalised excitement was sometimes seen. Marked cardiovascular changes occurred in the first few minutes after morphine or pethidine injection, but within 5 mins cardiovascular changes were minimal. Following morphine or pethidine there was a significant increase in arterial carbon dioxide tension. Fourteen clinical cases were successfully sedated using detomidine/butorphanol combinations.  相似文献

This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of 3 different doses of epidurally administered morphine sulphate on the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of isoflurane in healthy cats. Five 4-year-old, spayed female cats weighing 4.7 ± 0.8 kg were allocated randomly to receive one of 3 doses of morphine on each study day. The 3 doses of morphine were 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 mg/kg bwt and each cat was studied 3 times so that each cat received all doses. On each study day, cats were anaesthetised with isoflurane and instrumented. The MAC of isoflurane was determined in triplicate and morphine sulphate was administered via an epidural catheter chronically implanted prior to the study. Maximum MAC reduction was determined over the following 2 h. At the end of the study cats were allowed to recover. There was a significant reduction in MAC of isoflurane, with all doses of epidural morphine (P<0.05). The maximum reduction in MAC of isoflurane after 0.05 mg/kg bwt, 0.10 mg/kg bwt and 0.20 mg/kg bwt morphine was 21.4 ± 9.796, 30.8 ± 9.696, and 30.2 ± 6.8%, respectively, with no significant difference between doses. Systolic, mean and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate and arterial pH decreased significantly whereas arterial carbon dioxide tension increased significantly after morphine administration (P<0.05). The means for all variables returned to pre-morphine values when the end-tidal isoflurane concentration was reduced to the new MAC point. In conclusion, epidural morphine decreased the concentration of isoflurane required to prevent movement in response to noxious mechanical stimulation to the tail base. A similar effect may be seen clinically allowing lower doses of isoflurane to be used to provide surgical anaesthesia for procedures involving the hind limbs, pelvis and tail.  相似文献

Reasons for performing study: No studies have been reported on the effects of enoximone in anaesthetised colic horses. Objective: To examine whether enoximone improves cardiovascular function and reduces dobutamine requirement in anaesthetised colic horses. Methods: Forty‐eight mature colic horses were enrolled in this prospective, randomised clinical trial. After sedation (xylazine 0.7 mg/kg bwt) and induction (midazolam 0.06 mg/kg bwt, ketamine 2.2 mg/kg bwt), anaesthesia was maintained with isoflurane in oxygen and a lidocaine constant rate infusion (1.5 mg/kg bwt, 2 mg/kg/h). Horses were ventilated (PaCO2<8.00 kPa). If hypotension occurred, dobutamine and/or colloids were administered. Ten minutes after skin incision, horses randomly received an i.v. bolus of enoximone (0.5 mg/kg bwt) or saline. Monitoring included respiratory and arterial blood gases, heart rate (HR), arterial pressure and cardiac index (CI). Systemic vascular resistance (SVR), stroke index (SI) and oxygen delivery index (DO2I) were calculated. For each variable, changes between baseline and T10 within each treatment group and/or colic type (small intestines, large intestines or mixed) were analysed and compared between treatments in a fixed effects model. Differences between treatments until T30 were investigated using a mixed model (α= 0.05). Results: Ten minutes after enoximone treatment, CI (P = 0.0010), HR (P = 0.0033) and DO2I (P = 0.0007) were higher and SVR lower (P = 0.0043) than at baseline. The changes in CI, HR and SVR were significantly different from those after saline treatment. During the first 30 min after enoximone treatment, DO2I (P = 0.0224) and HR (P = 0.0003) were higher than after saline administration. Because the difference in HR between treatments was much clearer in large intestine colic cases, an interaction was detected between treatment and colic type in both analyses (P = 0.0076 and 0.0038, respectively). Conclusions: Enoximone produced significant, but short lasting, cardiovascular effects in colic horses. Potential relevance: Enoximone's cardiovascular effects in colic horses were of shorter duration than in healthy ponies.  相似文献

Two groups of 21 three-month-old Landrace x Large White pigs were sedated with either azaperone (2 mg/kg), butorphanol (0.2 mg/kg) and ketamine (5 mg/kg) (group A), or detomidine (100 microg/kg), butorphanol (0.2 mg/kg) and ketamine (5 mg/kg) (group D) administered intramuscularly, before being anaesthetised with halothane, oxygen and nitrous oxide for a bilateral stifle arthrotomy. The pigs' heart rate, respiratory rate, mean arterial blood pressure, electrocardiogram, arterial oxygen saturation, arterial blood gases, and oesophageal and rectal temperature were measured while they were anaesthetised and five minutes after they were disconnected, and their recovery times and any complications were recorded. Both groups were well sedated. Their heart rate was unchanged during the period of anaesthesia but increased when they recovered. The respiratory rate, mean arterial blood pressure and rectal temperature were lower in group A than in group D (P<0.05). Mild respiratory acidosis developed during anaesthesia in both groups. Both groups recovered equally rapidly and complications were generally minor, though two pigs in group D appeared to develop malignant hyperthermia.  相似文献

The effects of prolonging romifidine/ketamine anaesthesia in horses with a second injection of ketamine alone or both romifidine/ketamine compared with only induction injection of romifidine and tiletamine/zolazepam were studied in 6 horses anaesthetised in lateral recumbency on 3 random occasions. All horses were sedated with romifidine 0.1 mg/kg bwt iv and, on 2 occasions, anaesthesia was induced by iv injection of ketamine 2.2 mg/kg bwt. To prolong the ketamine-induced anaesthesia, either ketamine (I.1 mg/kg bwt iv) or ketamine and romifidine (I.1 mg/kg bwt and 0.04 mg/kg bwt iv, respectively) were given 18–20 min after the start of the ketamine injection for induction. On the third occasion, anaesthesia was induced by iv injection of 1.4 mg/kg bwt Zoletil (0.7 mg/kg bwt tiletamhe + 0.7 mg/kg bwt zolazepam). No statistically significant differences in the measured cardiorespiratory function were found between the 3 groups. Heart rate was decreased significantly after sedation but increased during anaesthesia. Arterial blood pressure increased after sedation and remained high during anaesthesia. A significant decrease in arterial oxygen tension was observed in all groups during anaesthesia. The muscle relaxation induced by romifidine was, in most cases, not sufficient to abolish the catalepsy following a repeated injection of ketamine alone. Zoletil or a repeated injection of ketaminehornifidine resulted in smoother anaesthesia. When additional time is required to complete surgery during field anaesthesia, it is advisable to prolong romifidine/ketamine anaesthesia with an injection of both romifidine and ketamine in healthy horses. When a longer procedure is anticipated from the start Zoletil is an alternative for induction of anaesthesia. The mean time to response to noxious stimuli and mean time spent in lateral recumbency was 28 and 38 min for the anaesthesia prolonged with ketamine, 3.5 and 43 rnin for the anaesthesia prolonged with ketaminehornifidine and 33 and 45 min for the anaesthesia with Zoletil. All horses reached a standing position at the first attempt.  相似文献

REASONS FOR PERFORMING STUDY: Lidocaine and ketamine are administered to horses as a constant rate infusion (CRI) during inhalation anaesthesia to reduce anaesthetic requirements. Morphine decreases the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) in some domestic animals; when administered as a CRI in horses, morphine does not promote haemodynamic and ventilatory changes and exerts a positive effect on recovery. Isoflurane-sparing effect of lidocaine, ketamine and morphine coadministration has been evaluated in small animals but not in horses. OBJECTIVES: To determine the reduction in isoflurane MAC produced by a CRI of lidocaine and ketamine, with or without morphine. HYPOTHESIS: Addition of morphine to a lidocaine-ketamine infusion reduces isoflurane requirement and morphine does not impair the anaesthetic recovery of horses. METHODS: Six healthy adult horses were anaesthetised 3 times with xylazine (1.1 mg/kg bwt i.v.), ketamine (3 mg/kg bwt i.v.) and isoflurane and received a CRI of lidocaine-ketamine (LK), morphine-lidocaine-ketamine (MLK) or saline (CTL). The loading doses of morphine and lidocaine were 0.15 mg/kg bwt i.v and 2 mg/kg bwt i.v. followed by a CRI at 0.1 mg/kg bwt/h and 3 mg/kg bwt/h, respectively. Ketamine was given as a CRI at 3 mg/kg bwt/h. Changes in MAC characterised the anaesthetic-sparing effect of the drug infusions under study and quality of recovery was assessed using a scoring system. Results: Mean isoflurane MAC (mean ± s.d.) in the CTL, LK and MLK groups was 1.25 ± 0.14%, 0.64 ± 0.20% and 0.59 ± 0.14%, respectively, with MAC reduction in the LK and MLK groups being 49 and 53% (P<0.001), respectively. No significant differences were observed between groups in recovery from anaesthesia. Conclusions and clinical relevance: Administration of lidocaine and ketamine via CRI decreases isoflurane requirements. Coadministration of morphine does not provide further reduction in anaesthetic requirements and does not impair recovery.  相似文献

The cardiovascular effects of doxacurium were studied in 6 isoflurane-anaesthetised dogs. Each dog was anaesthetised twice, receiving doxacurium (0.008 mg/kg bwt) or placebo iv. Dogs were ventilated to normocapnia. Heart rate, cardiac index, systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial blood pressures, stroke volume, pulmonary vascular resistance, pulmonary artery wedge pressure, systemic vascular resistance, and pulmonary arterial pressure were determined. Neuromuscular blockade was assessed using the train-of-four technique. After recording baseline values, dogs randomly received either doxacurium or placebo iv, and data were recorded at 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105 and 120 min. At 120 min, dogs treated with doxacurium received edrophonìum (0.5 mg/kg bwt iv) to antagonise neuromuscular blockade; dogs treated with placebos received saline iv. No statistically significant differences were detected after doxacurium compared to placebo. In both the doxacurium and placebo groups, significant increases in systolic arterial blood pressure, cardiac index, and stroke volume and a significant decrease in systemic vascular resistance occurred with time. Doxacurium depressed twitch tension 100% in all dogs (time to maximal twitch depression, 11 ± 7 min). First twitch tension was less than 10% of baseline values in all dogs at the time (120 min) of edrophonium administration. Additional edrophonium (1.0 ± 0.4 mg/kg iv) was required to obtain a fourth twitch to first twitch ratio of greater than 0.70. In conclusion, doxacurium is a long-acting neuromuscular blocking agent with no significant cardiovascular effects in isoflurane-anesthetised dogs. In dogs, doxacurium is indicated primarily for long surgical procedures requiring neuromuscular blockade and cardiovascular stability.  相似文献

Reasons for performing study: Studies have demonstrated the clinical usefulness of propofol for anaesthesia in horses but the use of a concentrated solution requires further investigation. Objectives: To determine the anaesthetic and cardiorespiratory responses to a bolus injection of 10% propofol solution in mature horses. Methods: Three randomised crossover experimental trials were completed. Trial 1: 6 horses were selected randomly to receive 10% propofol (2, 4 or 8 mg/kg bwt i.v.). Trial 2: 6 horses received 1.1 mg/kg bwt i.v. xylazine before being assigned at random to receive one of 5 different doses (1–5 mg/kg bwt) of 10% propofol. Trial 3: 6 horses were sedated with xylazine (0.5 mg/kg bwt, i.v.) and assigned randomly to receive 10% propofol (3, 4 or 5 mg/kg bwt, i.v.); anaesthesia was maintained for 60 min using an infusion of 1% propofol (0.2‐0.4 mg/kg bwt/min). Cardiorespiratory data, the quality of anaesthesia, and times for induction, maintenance and recovery from anaesthesia and the number of attempts to stand were recorded. Results: Trial 1 was terminated after 2 horses had received each dose of 10% propofol. The quality of induction, anaesthesia and recovery from anaesthesia was judged to be unsatisfactory. Trial 2: 3 horses administered 1 mg/kg bwt and one administered 2 mg/kg bwt were not considered to be anaesthetised. Horses administered 3–5 mg/kg bwt i.v. propofol were anaesthetised for periods ranging from approximately 10–25 min. The PaO2 was significantly decreased in horses administered 3–5 mg/kg bwt i.v. propofol. Trial 3: The quality of induction and recovery from anaesthesia were judged to be acceptable in all horses. Heart rate and rhythm, and arterial blood pressure were unchanged or decreased slightly during propofol infusion period. Conclusions: Anaesthesia can be induced with a 10% propofol solution and maintained with a 1% propofol solution in horses administered xylazine as preanaesthetic medication. Hypoventilation and hypoxaemia may occur following administration to mature horses. Potential relevance: Adequate preanaesthetic sedation and oxygen supplementation are required in horses anaesthetised with propofol.  相似文献

Heart rate, arterial blood pressures, respiratory rate, body temperature, and central nervous system excitement were compared before and after epidural administration of morphine (0.1 mg/kg), butorphanol (0.08 mg/kg), alfentanil (0.02 mg/kg), tramadol (1.0 mg/kg), the k-opioid agonist U50488H (0.08 mg/kg), or sterile water using an incomplete Latin square crossover design in five conscious adult horses. Treatments were administered into the first intercoccygeal epidural space. Significant (P <.05) reductions in respiratory rate were detected after epidural administration of morphine, alfentanil, U50488H, and sterile water. Additionally, significant (P <.05) head ptosis was observed within the first hour after administration of morphine, U50488H, and tramadol, but neither of these changes appeared to be of clinical significance. No treatment-related changes in motor activity or behavior were observed.  相似文献

The behavioural and sedative effects of intravenous (iv) romifidine (40 and 80 μg/kg bodyweight [bwt]) alone or in combination with iv butorphanol (50 μg/kg bwt) were investigated in four ponies and one Thoroughbred horse. Apparent sedation, as judged by the lowering of the head, and by the response to imposed touch, visual and sound stimuli was assessed. The combination with butorphanol reduced the animals' response to imposed stimuli when compared with the effect of the same dose of romifidine alone. Following the administration of romifidine/butorphanol combinations muzzle tremor was noted and some animals attempted to walk forward. In a separate series, the cardiopulmonary effects of iv romifidine (80 μg/kg bwt) alone, or in combination with butorphanol (50 μg/kg bwt) were investigated. Romifidine and the romifidine/butorphanol combination caused similar cardiovascular changes, these being bradycardia with heart block, and hypertension followed by hypotension. Romifidine caused a transient decrease in arterial oxygen tensions and arterial carbon dioxide tensions had increased significantly by the end of the 90 min recording period. Romifidine/butorphanol combinations produced significantly higher arterial carbon dioxide tensions during the first 15 mins after drug administration than did romifidine alone. Butorphanol at 50 μg/kg bwt iv reduced the response to imposed stimuli in horses sedated with romifidine. The combination produced no cardiovascular changes beyond those induced by romifidine alone, but did increase the degree of respiratory depression.  相似文献

REASONS FOR PERFORMING STUDY: Recovery from inhalant anaesthesia in the horse is a critical and difficult period to manage; however, several factors could help to obtain a calm recovery period including choice of anaesthetic and analgesic procedure used and the conditions under which anaesthetic maintenance and recovery occur. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the quality of recovery in horses administered saline, xylazine, detomidine or romifidine during recovery from isoflurane anaesthesia. METHODS: Six mature and healthy horses were premedicated with i.v. xylazine and butorphanol, and anaesthesia induced using ketamine. After 2 h of inhalant anaesthesia with isoflurane vaporised in oxygen, saline solution, xylazine (0.1 mg/kg bwt), detomidine (2 microg/kg bwt) or romifidine (8 pg/kg bwt) were administered. The quality of recovery of each horse and the degree of sedation and ataxia were evaluated. Cardiovascular and respiratory parameters were recorded, and arterial blood samples obtained and analysed for pH, PO2 and PCO2 during recovery. RESULTS: Quality of recovery was better in groups treated with alpha-2 adrenergic receptors agonists, showing less ataxia. Degree of sedation was greater in the romifidine group. CONCLUSIONS: We concluded that the administration of alpha-2 adrenoceptor agonists during recovery from isoflurane anaesthesia in horses prolonged and improved the quality of recovery without producing significant cardiorespiratory effects. POTENTIAL CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Administration of alpha-2 adrenoceptor agonists after inhalent anaesthesia could prevent complications during the recovery period.  相似文献

The frusemide dose-response for attenuation of exercise-induced pulmonary capillary hypertension was studied in 7 healthy, exercise-conditioned Thoroughbred horses using previously described haemodynamic procedures. Four different doses of frusemide were tested: 250 mg regardless of bodyweight (amounting to 0.56 +/- 0.03 mg/kg bwt), 1.0 mg/kg bwt, 1.5 mg/kg bwt and 2.0 mg/kg bwt. Frusemide was administered i.v., 4 h before exercise. Haemodynamic data were obtained at rest and during treadmill exercise performed at 14.2 m/s on a 3.5% uphill grade; this workload elicited maximal heart rate of horses. Airway endoscopy was performed post exercise to detect exercise-induced pulmonary haemorrhage (EIPH). In standing horses, frusemide administration resulted in a significant (P<0.05) decrease in mean pulmonary arterial, pulmonary capillary and pulmonary artery wedge pressures, but significant differences among the various frusemide doses were not observed. In the control experiments, exercise caused significant increments in the right atrial as well as pulmonary arterial, wedge, and capillary pressures, and all horses experienced EIPH. Following frusemide administration, the exercise-induced rise in right atrial and pulmonary vascular pressures was significantly attenuated, but significant differences between the frusemide doses of 250 mg, 1.0 mg/kg, and 1.5 mg/kg were not discerned and all horses remained positive for EIPH. Although a further significant (P<0.05) attenuation of the exercise-induced rise in pulmonary capillary blood pressure occurred when frusemide dose increased from 250 mg to 2.0 mg/kg bwt, all horses still experienced EIPH. It is concluded that a linear response to increasing frusemide dosage in terms of attenuation of the pulmonary capillary hypertension does not exist in strenuously exercising Thoroughbred horses.  相似文献

The respiratory stimulant lobeline has been used in equine clinical practice to increase inspiratory and expiratory airflow rates at rest in order to facilitate investigation of both lower and upper airway function. Some of the responses to lobeline in the pony have been reported, but the detailed time course, effect of dose, possible side effects and reproducibility associated with lobeline administration have not been described in the horse. Respiratory airflow rates and oesophageal pressure were measured with a Fleisch No. 5 pneumotachometer and lightweight facemask and a microtip pressure transducer catheter, respectively. The output of the Fleisch pneumotachometer was calibrated for flow rates up to +/- 70 l/s. Seven mature horses with no clinical signs of respiratory disease were studied. Investigations were conducted to determine: (1) the responses to different doses of lobeline (0.15, 0.20, 0.25 and 0.30 mg/kg bwt) as a rapid i.v. bolus (6 horses); (2) arterial blood gases during and after lobeline administration (0.20 mg/kg bwt; 3 horses); and (3) the reproducibility of lobeline-stimulated hyperpnoea (5 horses; 2 doses of 0.20 mg/kg bwt lobeline, 15 min apart). All horses tolerated the lobeline-stimulated hyperpnoea well, although one always coughed or snorted at the onset. Mild tremor was noted following the highest dose in several horses. Apnoea of approximately 40 s was common after the hyperpnoea. Both tidal volume (VT) and frequency (fR) increased with lobeline dose. During peak hyperpnoea at a dose of 0.30 mg/kg bwt, peak inspired flow rate (PIF), peak expired flow rate (PEF) and minute ventilation (VE) were mean +/- s.e. 41+/-5 l/s, 61+/-10 l/s and 920+/-99 l/min, respectively. The hyperpnoea also caused marked changes in arterial PaO2, PaCO2 and pHa at 90 s after lobeline (0.20 mg/kg bwt) administration (mean +/- s.e. 146.0+/-6.9 mmHg, 20.6+/-0.8 mmHg and 7.707+/-0.020, respectively) compared to at rest (mean +/- s.e. 104.0+/-4.0 mmHg, 50.6+/-2.8 mmHg and 7.432+/-0.012). Dynamic lung compliance (Cdyn) was unaltered by lobeline administration. The lobeline-induced hyperpnoea was highly reproducible, with no significant difference in any of the parameters during 2 stimulations 15 min apart. Lobeline induced highly reproducible responses without any apparent adverse effects and may be useful in the investigation of pulmonary function in healthy horses and those with airway disease.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To compare effects of electroacupuncture and butorphanol on hemodynamic and respiratory variables and rectal analgesia in mares after controlled rectal distention. ANIMALS: 8 healthy mares. PROCEDURE: Each horse received saline (0.9% NaCl) solution (0.01 mL/kg, IV; control treatment), butorphanol tartrate (0.1 mg/kg, IV), or 2 hours of electroacupuncture (EA) at acupoints Bladder 21, 25, and 27 on both sides of the vertebral column, Bai hui, and Stomach 36 (right side only). Order of treatments in each mare was randomized. At least 7 days elapsed between treatments. A balloon was inserted in the rectum of each mare, and controlled distention of the balloon (pressures of < or = 220 mm Hg) was used to measure nociceptive rectal pain threshold. Rectal temperature and cardiovascular and respiratory variables were measured before (baseline) and 5,15, 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes after onset of each treatment. RESULTS: Butorphanol produced greater increases in rectal pain threshold, compared with EA (mean +/- SD, 214 +/- 24 vs 174 +/- 35 mm Hg of balloon pressure). Electroacupuncture produced minimal cardiovascular and respiratory changes. Although clinically not important, butorphanol produced moderate significant increases in heart and respiratory rates, arterial blood pressure, and rectal temperature and decreases in arterial oxygen tension. Arterial pH, carbon dioxide tension, bicarbonate concentrations, base excess, Hct, and concentration of total solids were not significantly different from baseline values after EA, butorphanol, and control treatments. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Electroacupuncture and butorphanol (0.1 mg/kg, IV) may provide useful rectal analgesia in horses.  相似文献

Nineteen dogs were assigned randomly to one of three groups. Animals in Group 1 were pre-medicated with acepromazine, 50 μg/kg bodyweight (bwt) intramuscularly (im) and received 10 ml of 0.9 per cent saline intravenously (iv) at the time of skin incision. Dogs in Group 2 were pre-medicated with acepromazine, 50 μg/kg bwt im, and received fentanyl 2 μg/kg bwt iv at skin incision. Dogs in Group 3 were pre-medicated with acepromazine, 50 μg/kg bwt and atropine, 30 to 40 μg/kg bwt, im and received fentanyl, 2 μg/kg bwt iv at skin incision. Pulse rate, mean arterial blood pressure, respiratory rate and end tidal carbon dioxide were measured before and after fentanyl or saline injection. Fentanyl caused a short-lived fall in arterial blood pressure that was significant in dogs premedicated with acepromazine, but not in dogs pre-medicated with acepromazine and atropine. A significant bradycardia was evident for 5 mins in both fentanyl treated groups. The effect on respiratory rate was most pronounced in Group 3, in which four of seven dogs required intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) for up to 14 mins. Two of six dogs in Group 2 required IPPV, whereas respiratory rate remained unaltered in the saline controls. The quality of anaesthesia was excellent in the fentanyl treated groups; however, caution is urged with the use of even low doses of fentanyl in spontaneously breathing dogs under halothane-nitrous oxide anaesthesia.  相似文献

The dissociative anaesthetic ketamine is reported to provide potent analgesia after administration of subanaesthetic doses in human beings. To evaluate the analgesic effects of ketamine as an adjunct to inhalation anaesthesia in horses, haemodynamic and electroencephalographic changes were recorded for 10 min after injection of ketamine (0.5 mg/kg iv; n=7) or equal volumes of 0.9% NaCl solution (n=5) in surgically stimulated horses anaesthetised at approximately 1.3% end-tidal concentration of isoflurane. Neither the haemodynamic variables (mean arterial blood pressure and heart rate) nor the quantitated EEG variables (theta/delta ratio, alpha/delta ratio, beta/delta ratio, median power frequency) and 80% spectral edge frequency were affected significantly by the ketamine dose used. Comparing data obtained from both groups of horses, our results suggest that iv administration of 0.5 mg/kg bwt of ketamine was ineffective in suppressing haemodynamic and electroencephalographic responses to surgical stimulation.  相似文献

REASONS FOR PERFORMING STUDY: Absorption of endotoxin across ischaemic-injured mucosa is a major cause of mortality after colic surgery. Recent studies have shown that flunixin meglumine retards mucosal repair. Systemic lidocaine has been used to treat post operative ileus, but it also has novel anti-inflammatory effects that could improve mucosal recovery after ischaemic injury. HYPOTHESIS: Systemic lidocaine ameliorates the deleterious negative effects of flunixin meglumine on recovery of mucosal barrier function. METHODS: Horses were treated i.v. immediately before anaesthesia with either 0.9% saline 1 ml/50 kg bwt, flunixin meglumine 1 mg/kg bwt every 12 h or lidocaine 1.3 mg/kg bwt loading dose followed by 0.05 mg/kg bwt/min constant rate infusion, or both flunixin meglumine and lidocaine, with 6 horses allocated randomly to each group. Two sections of jejunum were subjected to 2 h of ischaemia by temporary occlusion of the local blood supply, via a midline celiotomy. Horses were monitored with a behavioural pain score and were subjected to euthanasia 18 h after reversal of ischaemia. Ischaemic-injured and control jejunum was mounted in Ussing chambers for measurement of transepithelial electrical resistance (TER) and permeability to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). RESULTS: In ischaemic-injured jejunum TER was significantly higher in horses treated with saline, lidocaine or lidocaine and flunixin meglumine combined, compared to horses treated with flunixin meglumine. In ischaemic-injured jejunum LPS permeability was significantly increased in horses treated with flunixin meglumine alone. Behavioural pain scores did not increase significantly after surgery in horses treated with flunixin meglumine. CONCLUSIONS: Treatment with systemic lidocaine ameliorated the inhibitory effects of flunixin meglumine on recovery of the mucosal barrier from ischaemic injury, when the 2 treatments were combined. The mechanism of lidocaine in improving mucosal repair has not yet been elucidated.  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

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