| Abstract: | Lidocaine dose‐dependently decreases the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of isoflurane in cats. The purpose of this study was to determine the hemodynamic effects of six lidocaine plasma concentrations in isoflurane anesthetized cats. Six cats were studied. After instrumentation, end‐tidal isoflurane concentration was set at 1.25 times the individual minimum alveolar concentration (MAC), which was determined in a previous study. Lidocaine was administered intravenously to target pseudo‐steady state plasma concentrations of 0, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 μg ml–1, and isoflurane concentration was reduced to an equipotent concentration, determined in a previous study. Cardiovascular variables; blood gases; PCV; total protein and lactate concentrations; and lidocaine and monoethylglycinexylidide concentrations were measured at each lidocaine target concentration, before and during noxious stimulation. Derived variables were calculated. Data were analyzed using a repeated measures anova , followed by a Tukey test for pairwise comparisons where appropriate. One cat was excluded from analysis because the study was aborted at 7 μg ml–1 due to severe cardiorespiratory depression. Heart rate, cardiac index, stroke index, right ventricular stroke work index, total protein concentration, mixed‐venous PO2 and hemoglobin oxygen saturation, arterial and mixed‐venous bicarbonate concentrations, and oxygen delivery were significantly lower during lidocaine administration than when no lidocaine was administered. Mean arterial pressure, central venous pressure, pulmonary artery pressure, systemic and pulmonary vascular resistance indices, PCV, arterial and mixed‐venous hemoglobin concentrations, lactate concentration, arterial oxygen concentration, and oxygen extraction ratio were significantly higher during administration of lidocaine than when no lidocaine was administered. Most changes were significant at lidocaine target plasma concentrations of 7 μg ml–1 and above. Noxious stimulation did not significantly affect most variables. Despite significantly decreasing in inhalant requirements, when combined with isoflurane, lidocaine produces greater cardiovascular depression than an equipotent dose of isoflurane alone. The use of lidocaine to reduce isoflurane requirements is not recommended in cats. |
