One hundred sixty horses were anesthetized with xylazine, guaifenesin, thiamylal, and halothane for elective soft tissue and orthopedic procedures. Horses were randomly assigned to one of four groups. Group 1 (n = 40): Horses positioned in lateral (LRG1,; n = 20) or dorsal (DRG1,; n = 20) recumbency breathed spontaneously throughout anesthesia. Group 2 (n = 40): Intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) was instituted throughout anesthesia in horses positioned in lateral (LRG2; n = 20) or dorsal (DRG2; n = 20) recumbency. Group 3 (n = 40): Horses positioned in lateral (LRG3; n = 20) or dorsal (DRG3; n = 20) recumbency breathed spontaneously for the first half of anesthesia and intermittent positive pressure ventilation was instituted for the second half of anesthesia. Group 4 (n = 40): Intermittent positive pressure ventilation was instituted for the first half of anesthesia in horses positioned in lateral (LRG4; n = 20) or dorsal (DRG4; n = 20) recumbency. Spontaneous ventilation (SV) occured for the second half of anesthesia. The mean time of anesthesia was not significantly different within or between groups. The mean time of SV and IPPV was not significantly different in groups 3 and 4. Variables analyzed included pH, PaCO2, PaO2, and P(A-a)O2 (calculated). Spontaneous ventilation resulted in significantly higher PaCO2 and P(A-a)O2 values and significantly lower PaO2 values in LRG1, and DRG1, horses compared with LRG2 and DRG2 horses. Intermittent positive pressure ventilation resulted in normocarbia and significantly lower P(A-a)O2 values in LRG2 and DRG2 horses. In LRG2 the Pao2 values significantly increased from 20 minutes after induction to the end of anesthesia. The PaO2 and P(A-a)O2 values were not significantly different from the beginning of anesthesia after IPPV in DRG2 or DRG3. The PaO2 values significantly decreased and the P(A-a)O2 values significantly increased after return to SV in horses in LRG4, and DRG4. The PaO2 values were lowest and the P(A-a)O2 values were highest in all horses positioned in dorsal recumbency compared with lateral recumbency and in SV horses compared with IPPV horses. The pH changes paralleled the changes in PaCO2. Blood gas values during right versus left lateral recumbency in all groups were also evaluated. The PaO2 values were significantly lower and the P(A-a)O2 values were significantly higher during SV in horses positioned in left lateral (LRLG1) compared with right lateral (LRRG1) recumbency. No other significant changes were found comparing left and right lateral recumbency. Arterial hypoxemia (PaO2 < 60 mm Hg) developed in 35% of DRG1 horses and 20% of DRG2 horses at the end of anesthesia. Arterial hypercarbia (PaCO2= 50–60 mm Hg) developed in DRoi horses. Arterial hypoxemia that developed in 20% of DRG3 horses was not improved with IPPV. Arterial hypoxemia developed in 55% of DRG4 horses after return to SV. Some DRG4 horses with hypoxemia also developed hypercarbia, whereas some had PaCO2 values within normal limits. Arterial hypoxemia developed in one LRG1, and two LRG4, horses. Hypercarbia developed in onlv one LRG4 horse.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate propofol for induction and maintenance of anesthesia, after detomidine premedication, in horses undergoing abdominal surgery for creation of an experimental intestinal adhesion model. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective study. ANIMALS: Twelve horses (424 +/- 81 kg) from 1 to 20 years of age (5 females, 7 males). METHODS: Horses were premedicated with detomidine (0.015 mg/kg i.v.) 20 to 25 minutes before induction, and a propofol bolus (2 mg/kg i.v.) was administered for induction. Propofol infusion (0.2 mg/kg/min i.v.) was used to maintain anesthesia. The infusion rate was adjusted to maintain an acceptable anesthetic plane as determined by muscle relaxation, occular signs, response to surgery, and cardiopulmonary responses. Oxygen (15 L/min) was insufflated through an endotracheal tube as necessary to maintain the SpO2 greater than 90%. Systolic (SAP), mean (MAP), and diastolic (DAP) arterial pressures, heart rate (HR), electrocardiogram (ECG), respiratory rate (RR), SpO2 (via pulse oximetry), and nasal temperature were recorded at 15 minute intervals, before premedication and after induction of anesthesia. Arterial blood gas samples were collected at the same times. Objective data are reported as mean (+/-SD); subjective data are reported as medians (range). RESULTS: Propofol (2.0 mg/kg i.v.) induced anesthesia (mean bolus time, 85 sec) within 24 sec (+/-22 sec) after the bolus was completed. Induction was good in 10 horses; 2 horses showed signs of excitement and these two inductions were not smooth. Propofol infusion (0.18 mg/kg/min +/- 0.04) was used to maintain anesthesia for 61 +/- 19 minutes with the horses in dorsal recumbency. Mean SAP, DAP, and MAP increased significantly over time from 131 to 148, 89 to 101, and 105 to 121 mm Hg, respectively. Mean HR varied over time from 43 to 45 beats/min, whereas mean RR increased significantly over anesthesia time from 4 to 6 breaths/min. Mean arterial pH decreased from a baseline of 7.41 +/- 0.07 to 7.30 +/- 0.05 at 15 minutes of anesthesia, then increased towards baseline values. Mean PaCO2 values increased during anesthesia, ranging from 47 to 61 mm Hg whereas PaO2 values decreased from baseline (97 +/- 20 mm Hg), ranging from 42 to 57 mm Hg. Muscle relaxation was good and no horses moved during surgery: Recovery was good in 9 horses and acceptable in 3; mean recovery time was 67 +/- 29 minutes with 2.4 +/- 2.4 attempts necessary for the horses to stand. CONCLUSIONS: Detomidine-propofol anesthesia in horses in dorsal recumbency was associated with little cardiovascular depression, but hypoxemia and respiratory depression occurred and some excitement was seen on induction. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Detomidine-propofol anesthesia is not recommended for surgical procedures in horses if dorsal recumbency is necessary and supplemental oxygen is not available (eg, field anesthesia).  相似文献

Inflammatory Airway Disease (IAD), exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage (EIPH), and upper airway obstruction (UAO) are common respiratory tract diseases that can decrease performance. The purpose of this retrospective study was to compare bronchoalveolar lavage fluid cytology and arterial blood gas analysis during a treadmill test by poorly performing racehorses presented to Purdue University. One hundred thirty-two horses with a history of poor performance were included in this study. Ten horses with no history or diagnosis of EIPH, IAD, or UAO served as controls. Horses were evaluated by rhinolaryngoscopy for upper airway abnormalities and underwent a standardized treadmill test, and samples were collected for blood gas analysis. Horses with IAD or EIPH had a more severe exercise-induced hypoxemia, (mean+/-SD; 84.8+/-1.5 and 86.0+/-1.7 mm Hg average Pao2, respectively), than horses in the control group (92.8+/-2.1 mm Hg). The average Pao2 of horses with only UAO (88.3+/-3.3 mm Hg) was not significantly different from control horses. Gas exchanges were the most severely impaired in horses affected with both EIPH and UAO because they exhibited the lowest Pao2 and highest Paco2 values (66.5+/-15.2 and 52.2+/-6.3 mm Hg, respectively).  相似文献

MKM–OS anesthesia provides general anesthesia with minimum cardiovascular depression in experimental horses. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of MKM–OS anesthesia in clinical cases. Sixty‐eight horses were anesthetized with MKM–OS anesthesia for selective or emergency surgery. The horse physical status was categorized based upon the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification scheme. Forty‐four horses were classified as ASA I or II (low‐risk; 30 soft tissue, eight ophthalmic, and six orthopedic surgeries) and 24 horses were classified as ASA III to V (high‐risk; 24 emergency colic surgeries). All horses were administered medetomidine (0.005 mg kg–1 IV) as premedication and anesthetized with ketamine (2.5 mg kg–1 IV) and midazolam (0.04 mg kg–1 IV). The horses were orotracheally intubated and connected to a large animal breathing circuit that delivered oxygen‐sevoflurane and administered the midazolam (0.8 mg mL–1)‐ketamine (40 mg mL–1)‐medetomidine (0.05 mg mL–1) drug combination at a rate of 0.025 mL kg–1 hour–1. Surgical anesthesia was maintained by controlling the dial setting of the sevoflurane vaporizer and achieved by delivering 1.6–1.8% of end‐tidal sevoflurane concentration. All horses were mechanically ventilated during anesthesia. Hypercapnia and hypoxia were not sufficiently improved in high‐risk horses (PaCO2; low‐risk 45–53 mm Hg versus high‐risk 56–60 mm Hg, p < 0.01: PaO2 low‐risk 248–388 mm Hg versus high‐risk 95–180 mm Hg, p < 0.01). Heart rate was significantly higher in high‐risk horses (low‐risk 37–42 bpm versus high‐risk 44–73 bpm, p < 0.01). Dobutamine infusion was required in five low‐risk (11%) and 17 high‐risk horses (68%) to maintain mean arterial blood pressure >70 mm Hg. Eleven high‐risk horses died during the perioperative period (three euthanized during surgery, two died during recovery, six died after recovery). The quality of recovery was good in low‐risk horses and good to satisfactory in high‐risk horses. MKM–OS anesthesia provided excellent surgical anesthesia with minimal to mild cardiovascular depression in low risk‐horses and mild to moderate cardiovascular depression in high risk‐horses. The possibility of preserve cardiovascular function could be the advantage of MKM–OS anesthesia in high‐risk horses.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that head-down positioning in anesthetized horses increases intracranial pressure (ICP) and decreases cerebral and spinal cord blood flows. ANIMALS: 6 adult horses. PROCEDURES: For each horse, anesthesia was induced with ketamine hydrochloride and xylazine hydrochloride and maintained with 1.57% isoflurane in oxygen. Once in right lateral recumbency, horses were ventilated to maintain normocapnia. An ICP transducer was placed in the subarachnoid space, and catheters were placed in the left cardiac ventricle and in multiple vessels. Blood flow measurements were made by use of a fluorescent microsphere technique while each horse was in horizontal and head-down positions. Inferential statistical analyses were performed via repeated-measures ANOVA and Dunn-Sidak comparisons. RESULTS: Because 1 horse developed extreme hypotension, data from 5 horses were analyzed. During head-down positioning, mean +/- SEM ICP increased to 55+/-2 mm Hg, compared with 31+/-2 mm Hg during horizontal positioning; cerebral perfusion pressure was unchanged. Compared with findings during horizontal positioning, blood flow to the cerebrum, cerebellum, and cranial portion of the brainstem decreased significantly by approximately 20% during head-down positioning; blood flows within the pons and medulla were mildly but not significantly decreased. Spinal cord blood flow was low (9 mL/min/100 g of tissue) and unaffected by position. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Head-down positioning increased heart-brain hydrostatic gradients in isoflurane-anesthetized horses, thereby decreasing cerebral blood flow and, to a greater extent, increasing ICP. During anesthesia, CNS regions with low blood flows in horses may be predisposed to ischemic injury induced by high ICP.  相似文献

Objective— To study the combined effects of intra-abdominal CO2 insufflation with changes in body position during laparoscopy in xylazine-ketamine-halothane anesthetized llamas. Study Design— Prospective, controlled study. Animals— Nine castrated, male llamas weighing 114 ± 23 kg, 3 to 13 years old. Methods— Three llamas (preliminary study [PS] group) were used to study the effect of right lateral, dorsal, and left lateral recumbency on gas exchange and acid-base status. The other six (experimental study [ES] group) were used to study the combined effects of changes in body position and CO2 insufflation to an intraabdominal pressure of 10 to 12 mm Hg. Heart rate, respiratory rate, and indirect arterial blood pressures (systolic [SAP], mean [MAP], and diastolic [DAP]) were recorded every 5 minutes during anesthesia. Arterial blood gases (PaO2 and PaCO2) and acid-base status (pHa and HCO3) were measured immediately after induction of anesthesia and before each change of position. Results— In the PS group, significant decreases in SAP, MAP and PaCO2 and increases in PaO2 and pHa were observed when the llamas were turned from right lateral to dorsal recumbency. Values for HCO-3 were lower than the postinduction values, but they remained unaffected by the changes in position. In the ES group, values for MAP were significantly lower when the llamas were placed in dorsal and left lateral recumbency than those observed during right lateral recumbency. Arterial O2 tension during right lateral recumbency was lower but returned to preinsufflation values when the llamas were placed in the dorsal position. All llamas recovered uneventfully within 30 minutes after termination of anesthesia. Conclusions— Insufflation of CO2 and changing body position induce minor and transient changes in cardiovascular and respiratory function. Clinical Relevance— Laparoscopy with mild intra-abdominal CO2 insufflation (10 to 12 mm Hg) can be used safely in spontaneously breathing llamas anesthetized with xylazine, ketamine, and halothane.  相似文献

Wick catheters were used to measure intracompartmental muscle pressures (ICMP) within the long heads of the triceps brachii and extensor carpi radialis muscles of 8 horses maintained under halothane anesthesia while their breathing was controlled by intermittent positive-pressure ventilation. Blood gas, cardiac output, and blood pressure determinations were monitored to maintain a stable plane of anesthesia. The horses were positioned in left lateral recumbency and were placed sequentially on each of 4 contact surfaces for 1 hour. The 4 surfaces used for each horse were concrete, foam rubber, air dunnage bag, and a water mattress. Hematologic and biochemical determinations were made before and 24 hours after anesthesia. All horses recovered from the anesthesia. One horse had forelimb lameness for 36 hours after anesthesia, which was clinically diagnosed as a myoneuropathy. The ICMP values were markedly elevated in the muscle bellies of the lower limb of all horses. Supporting the horse on a water mattress caused the least dramatic pressure elevation and foam caused the most. The triceps muscle and, to a lesser extent, the extensor carpi radialis muscle of the lower limb are at risk of ischemia in anesthetized horses because the ICMP may exceed the critical closing pressure of 30 mm of Hg required for capillary blood flow.  相似文献

Cardiovascular and respiratory responses to variable PaO2 were measured in 6 horses anesthetized only with halothane during spontaneous (SV) and controlled (CV) ventilation. The minimal alveolar concentration (MAC) for halothane in oxygen was determined in each spontaneously breathing horse prior to establishing PaO2 study conditions--mean +/- SEM, 0.95 +/- 0.03 vol%. The PaO2 conditions of > 250, 120, 80, and 50 mm of Hg were studied in each horse anesthetized at 1.2 MAC of halothane and positioned in left lateral recumbency. In response to a decrease in PaO2, total peripheral resistance and systolic and diastolic arterial blood pressure decreased (P < 0.05) during SV. Cardiac output tended to increase because heart rate increased (P < 0.05) during these same conditions. During CV, cardiovascular function was usually less than it was at comparable PaO2 during SV (P < 0.05). Heart rate, cardiac output, and left ventricular work increased (P < 0.05) in response to a decrease in PaO2, whereas total peripheral resistance decreased (P < 0.05). During SV, cardiac output and stroke volume increased and arterial blood pressure and total peripheral resistance decreased with duration of anesthesia at PaO2 > 250 mm of Hg. During SV, minute expired volume increased (P < 0.05) because respiratory frequency tended to increase as PaO2 decreased. Decrease in PaCO2 (P < 0.05) also accompanied these respiratory changes. Although oxygen utilization was nearly constant over all treatment periods, oxygen delivery decreased (P < 0.05) with decrease in PaO2, and was less (P < 0.05) during CV, compared with SV, for comparable PaO2 values.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To describe and evaluate subtotal ostectomy of dorsal spinous processes (DSP) performed in standing horses. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective study. SAMPLE POPULATION: Nine adult horses. METHODS: The diseased portions of the DSP were removed with the horses standing and sedated after infiltrating a local anesthetic agent around the affected DSP. Medical records of affected horses were reviewed to determine history, findings of physical and radiographic examination, surgical technique, postoperative complications, and outcome. RESULTS: Five horses had subtotal ostectomy of DSP because of osteomyelitis, and 4 because of impingement and/or fracture of DSP. Affected portions of DSP were removed safely and effectively, with no apparent discomfort to the horses; hemorrhage was minimal. CONCLUSIONS: Subtotal ostectomy of DSP can be performed safely in standing, conscious horses and the risks associated with general anesthesia are eliminated. Hemorrhage is minimal compared to that which occurs when the procedure is performed with horses anesthetized and in lateral recumbency. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Access and visibility are better when subtotal ostectomy of the DSP is performed with the horse standing rather than anesthetized and in lateral recumbency. Performing subtotal ostectomy of diseased DSP with the horse standing avoids the expense and risks of general anesthesia.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To assess physiologic responses and plasma endothelin (ET)-1 concentrations associated with abrupt cessation of nitric oxide (NO) inhalation in isoflurane-anesthetized horses. ANIMALS: 6 healthy adult Standardbreds. PROCEDURES: Horses were anesthetized with isoflurane in oxygen and placed in dorsal recumbency. Nitric oxide was pulsed into the respiratory tract for 2.5 hours, and then administration was abruptly discontinued. Just prior to commencement and at cessation of NO administration, and at intervals during a 30-minute period following cessation of NO inhalation, several variables including PaO(2), mean pulmonary artery pressure, venous admixture or pulmonary shunt fraction (Qs/Qt), and plasma ET-1 concentration were recorded or calculated. RESULTS: After cessation of NO inhalation, PaO(2) decreased slowly but significantly (172.7 +/- 29.8 mm Hg to 84.6 +/- 10.9 mm Hg) and Qs/Qt increased slowly but significantly (25 +/- 2% to 40 +/- 3%) over a 30-minute period. Mean pulmonary artery pressure increased slightly (14.0 +/- 1.3 mm Hg to 16.8 +/- 1 mm Hg) over the same time period. No change in serum ET-1 concentration was detected, and other variables did not change or underwent minor changes. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The improvement in arterial oxygenation during pulsed inhalation of NO to healthy isoflurane-anesthetized horses decreased only gradually during a 30-minute period following cessation of NO inhalation, and serum ET-1 concentration was not affected. Because a rapid rebound response did not develop, inhalation of NO might be clinically useful in the treatment of hypoxemia in healthy isoflurane-anesthetized horses.  相似文献

Objective – To evaluate the effect of body position on the arterial partial pressures of oxygen and carbon dioxide (PaO2, PaCO2), and the efficiency of pulmonary oxygen uptake as estimated by alveolar‐arterial oxygen difference (A‐a difference). Design – Prospective, randomized, crossover study. Setting – University teaching hospital, intensive care unit. Animals – Twenty‐one spontaneously breathing, conscious, canine patients with arterial catheters placed as part of their management strategy. Interventions – Patients were placed randomly into lateral or sternal recumbency. PaO2 and PaCO2 were measured after 15 minutes in this position. Patients were then repositioned into the opposite position and after 15 minutes the parameters were remeasured. Measurements and Main Results – Results presented as median (interquartile range). PaO2 was significantly higher (P=0.001) when patients were positioned in sternal, 91.2 mm Hg (86.0–96.1 mm Hg), compared with lateral recumbency, 86.4 mm Hg (73.9–90.9 mm Hg). The median change was 5.4 mm Hg (1.1–17.9 mm Hg). All 7 dogs with a PaO2<80 mm Hg in lateral recumbency had improved arterial oxygenation in sternal recumbency, median increase 17.4 mm Hg with a range of 3.8–29.7 mm Hg. PaCO2 levels when patients were in sternal recumbency, 30.5 mm Hg (27.3–32.7 mm Hg) were not significantly different from those in lateral recumbency, 32.2 mm Hg (28.3–36.0 mm Hg) (P=0.07). The median change was ?1.9 mm Hg (?3.6–0.77 mm Hg). A‐a differences were significantly lower (P=0.005) when patients were positioned in sternal recumbency, 21.7 mm Hg (17.3–27.7 mm Hg), compared with lateral recumbency, 24.6 mm Hg (20.4–36.3 mm Hg). The median change was ?3.1 mm Hg (?14.6–0.9 mm Hg). Conclusions – PaO2 was significantly higher when animals were positioned in sternal recumbency compared with lateral recumbency, predominantly due to improved pulmonary oxygen uptake (decreased A‐a difference) rather than increased alveolar ventilation (decreased PaCO2). Patients with hypoxemia (defined as PaO2<80 mm Hg) in lateral recumbency may benefit from being placed in sternal recumbency. Sternal recumbency is recommended to improve oxygenation in hypoxemic patients.  相似文献

This study provides baseline information on the potential use of propofol as a general anesthetic for horses. Using a Latin square design, propofol (2, 4, and 8 mg/kg) was administered intravenously on three separate occasions to six mature horses. Information about anesthetic induction, duration, and recovery was recorded along with results of rectal temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, pHa, Paco2 and Pao2. Statistical analysis included a mixed model analysis of variance, a general linear model analysis and least square means test for post hoc comparisons. A P <.05 was considered significant. The quality of induction of anesthesia varied from poor to good. Two horses were not recumbent following the lowest dose of propofol. Brief paddling limb movements occurred occasionally and unpredictably after recumbency induced by all three doses. During recovery, horses were uniformly calm and coordinated in their moves to stand. Duration of recumbency (minutes) was dose related; 15.05 ± 1.58 (±±SD) following 2 mg/kg, 31.06 ± 5.56 following 4 mg/kg, and 47.85 ± 13.63 following 8 mg/kg. During recumbency at all doses, heart rate significantly increased from a predrug value of 40 ± 6 beats per minute. Substantial respiratory depression, characterized by a significant decrease in respiratory rate (from 11.7 ± 2.9 to 3.7 ± 1.6 breaths per minute) and increased Paco2 (from 44.5 ± 2.5 to 52.7 ± 8.0 mm Hg) was seen only after 8 mg/kg. A significant decrease in Pao2 was observed throughout the recumbency induced by 8 mg/kg, and also at 3 and 5 minutes following induction of anesthesia with 4 mg/ kg propofol. At 5 minutes after injection, Pao2 was 87.4 ± 13.8 and 58.1 ± 17.0 mm Hg after 4 and 8 mg/kg, respectively. The results of this study do not favor the routine use of propofol as a sole anesthetic in otherwise unmedicated horses.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of one-lung ventilation (OLV) on oxygen delivery (DO2) in anesthetized dogs with a closed thoracic cavity. ANIMALS: 7 clinically normal adult Walker Hound dogs. PROCEDURE: Dogs were anesthetized. Catheters were inserted in a dorsal pedal artery and the pulmonary artery. Dogs were positioned in right lateral recumbency. Data were collected at baseline (Paco2 of 35 to 45 mm Hg), during two-lung ventilation, and 15 minutes after creating OLV. Hemodynamic and respiratory variables were analyzed and calculations performed to obtain DO2, and values were compared among the various time points by use of an ANOVA for repeated measures. RESULTS: OLV induced a significant augmentation of shunt fraction that resulted in a significant reduction in Pao2, arterial oxygen saturation, and arterial oxygen content. Cardiac index was not significantly changed. The net result was that DO2 was not significantly affected by OLV. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Use of OLV in healthy dogs does not induce significant changes in DO2, which is the ultimate variable to use when evaluating tissue oxygenation. One-lung ventilation can be initiated safely in dogs before entering the thoracic cavity during surgery. Additional studies are necessary to evaluate OLV in clinically affected patients and variations in age, body position, and type of anesthetic protocol.  相似文献

The influence of pharmacologic enhancement of cardiac output on the alveolar-to-arterial oxygen tension (difference (P[A-a]O2), physiologic right-to-left shunt fraction (Qs/Qt), and physiologic dead space-to-tidal volume ratio (VD/VT) ws studied in halothane-anesthetized horses in left lateral, right lateral, and dorsal recumbencies. Adult horses were anesthetized, using xylazine (2.2 mg/kg, IM), guaifenesin (50 mg/kg, IV), thiamylal (4.4 mg/kg, IV), and halothane (1.5% to 2% inspired) in 100% O2. Mechanical ventilation was controlled to maintain arterial eucapnia (PaCO2) 35 to 45 mm of Hg) for a period lasting at least 1 hour. Dobutamine was administered at dosages of 1, 3, and 5 micrograms/kg/min, IV, on a randomized basis. The P(A-a)O2, Qs/Qt, and VD/VT were calculated during equilibration and after each dobutamine infusion was given. The P(A-a)O2 and Qs/Qt were significantly (P less than 0.05) greater and VD/VT tended to be greater in horses in dorsal recumbency, compared with those values in horses in left lateral or right lateral recumbency. Cardiac output was similar in all horses, regardless of body position (recumbency). The qualitative relationship between horses in the 3 recumbent positions were not altered by dobutamine. Cardiac output was significantly (P less than 0.05) increased by 3 or 5 micrograms of dobutamine/kg/min in all horses, whereas P(A-a)O2, Qs/Qt, and VD/VT were not significantly altered by dobutamine. The results of the present study failed to substantiate our clinical observations of decreased P(A-a)O2 and Qs/Qt in anesthetized compromised horses given dobutamine.  相似文献

To evaluate the effects of compression atelectasis on the composition of pulmonary secretions in anesthetized horses, cytological and biochemical examinations were performed on bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluids obtained from both dependent and independent lung regions. Six horses were anesthetized with isoflurane and oxygen for 120 min, and were positioned in right lateral recumbency. Percentage of neutrophils and total protein concentration in BAL fluids significantly increased at the end of anesthesia, and total phosphorous concentration significantly decreased at 72 hr after anesthesia in dependent lung. Such changes were not observed within 168 hr after anesthesia. These findings suggest that the effects of compression atelectasis on the composition of pulmonary secretions may be eliminated within 168 hr after anesthesia.  相似文献

Observations were made on horses spontaneously breathing oxygen, with halothane at a constant end tidal concentration. The horses were positioned in dorsal recumbency for the first 45 minutes of each anaesthetic episode during which the arterial oxygen tension (PaO2) was found to peak and then decline. The remaining 60 minutes of each anaesthesia was used to test the effect of various manoeuvres on PaO2. The PaO2 of horses decreased further both when remaining in dorsal recumbency and when repositioned in right or left recumbency. In contrast, placing the horses in sternal recumbency for these remaining 60 minutes caused the PaO2 to rise rapidly providing evidence for redistribution of ventilation. Replacing some inspired oxygen with less absorbable nitrogen did not improve PaO2 in dorsal recumbency. Thus there was no evidence that the low PaO2 of dorsal recumbency was associated with alveoli that had collapsed because of gas absorption.  相似文献

The effect of nitrous oxide (N2O) on arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) was evaluated in 20 adult horses anaesthetised with halothane. A fresh gas flow rate of 20ml/kg/min, comprising a 1:1 N2O/oxygen (O2) mixture, was supplied via the rotameter flowmeters of an anaesthetic machine to a large animal breathing system. The horses breathed spontaneously from the circuit immediately after endotracheal intubation. Ten horses were subsequently positioned in lateral recumbency and ten in dorsal recumbency. A further twenty adult horses were anaesthetised with halothane and acted as controls; halothane in 20mls/kg/min of O2 being supplied to the same breathing system. Fifty percent NO caused significant decreases in PaO2 for horses in lateral and dorsal recumbency. However when administered to horses in lateral recumbency it did not promote arterial hypoxaemia. There was a higher risk of intraopera- tive arterial hypoxaemia (PaO2 < 8.6kPa) associated with its use in spontaneously breathing horses in dorsal recumbency. Arterial hypoxaemia occurred in all horses during the first fifteen minutes of recovery but when N2O was discontinued, halothane in oxygen supplied to the breathing circuit for five minutes at a flow rate of 20ml/kg/minute was sufficient to ensure that diffusion hypoxia did not occur. The magnitude of the hypoxaemia was not signficantly different between the groups. The time taken to adopt sternal recumbency was significantly shorter in the horses that had received N2O.  相似文献

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of anesthesia duration on the quality of recovery in horses. The medical records of horses that were anesthetized and underwent surgery for elective and emergency soft tissue and orthopedic conditions from 2013 to 2019 were reviewed. Horses included in the study (N = 305) fulfilled the following requirements: all had the same premedication/induction protocol and the same balanced anesthesia for maintenance and were anesthetized by the same, experienced Board-certified anesthesiologist. A standardized anesthetic recovery score was completed for all horses to evaluate their recovery and the following interactions were assessed: age, body weight, breed, sex, American Society of Anesthesiologists status, type of surgical procedure, occurrence of hypotension, use of dobutamine, number of additional doses of xylazine/ketamine after isoflurane discontinuation, anesthesia duration, post-anesthetic sedation, and end-tidal isoflurane concentration during maintenance and at the time of transfer to the recovery room. These interactions were assessed based on the quality of recovery score using logistic regression. Duration of anesthesia (P = 0.021) and age (P = 0.003) negatively affected the quality of recovery. The odds of a worse recovery score were increased by 1.20-fold (1.03, 1.41; lower and upper limits) for every additional 30 min of anesthesia duration, while the odds of a worse recovery score were increased by 1.09-fold (1.03, 1.16) for every additional 1 y of age. In conclusion, the results of this retrospective study indicate that increasing the anesthesia duration negatively affects the quality of recovery in horses undergoing routine and emergency surgical procedures.  相似文献

Cardiopulmonary function was monitored in 6 non-medicated, healthy male horses, anesthetized with halothane or isoflurane in O2 at a constant dose (1.2 times the minimum alveolar concentration). Horses were exposed once to each anesthetic agent, and a minimum of 2 weeks separated anesthetic exposures. All horses were studied in left lateral recumbency, and ventilation was mechanically controlled to induce a PaCO2 of 35 to 45 mm of Hg and an inspiratory peak airway pressure of 18 to 22 cm of H2O. After 1 hour of horse preparation, constant conditions were begun. With duration of anesthesia, cardiac output increased (P less than 0.05) with both anesthetic agents, because of an increase in stroke volume (P less than 0.05). Heart rate did not change from initial values with either agent. Mean arterial blood pressure also increased (P less than 0.05) with both agents. With both anesthetics, respiratory rate (P less than 0.05) was increased progressively to maintain acceptable PaCO2 values. Arterial O2 tension did not change with time.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To compare recoveries from anesthesia of horses placed on a conventional padded stall floor or on a specially designed air pillow. DESIGN: Prospective study. ANIMALS: 409 horses (> 1 year old) that were anesthetized for surgical procedures during a 37-month period. PROCEDURES: By random allocation, horses were allowed to recover from anesthesia in either a foammat-padded recovery stall or an identical recovery stall equipped with a rapidly inflating-deflating air pillow. All recoveries were videotaped for subsequent analysis by an independent evaluator. Times to first movement, first attempt to attain sternal recumbency, attainment of sternal recumbency, first attempt to stand, and successful standing were recorded. The numbers of attempts before achieving sternal recumbency and standing were counted, and scores for quality of standing and overall recovery were assigned. Recovery-related variables were compared between groups. RESULTS: Compared with horses allowed to recover in a conventional manner, horses that recovered from anesthesia on the air pillow had a significantly longer rest period before attempting to attain sternal recumbency and rise to standing. Once the pillow was deflated, horses were able to stand after significantly fewer attempts and the quality of their standing was significantly better. Between the 2 groups of horses, there was no significant difference in overall recovery quality scores. The air pillow and padded floor systems were equally safe. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Results suggested that use of a rapidly inflating-deflating air pillow promotes a longer period of recumbency and a better quality of standing after anesthesia in horses.  相似文献
