| Abstract: | OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of i.v. lidocaine (L) and ketamine (K), alone and in combination (LK), on the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of isoflurane (ISO) in goats. STUDY DESIGN: Randomized crossover design. ANIMALS: Eight, adult mixed breed castrated male goats, aged 1-2 years weighing 24-51 kg. METHODS: Anesthesia was induced with ISO that was delivered via a mask. The tracheas were intubated and the animals ventilated to maintain an end-tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure between 25 and 30 mmHg (3.3-4 kPa). Baseline MAC (MAC(B)) that prevented purposeful movement in response to clamping a claw was determined in triplicate. After MAC(B) determination, each goat received one of the following treatments, which were administered as a loading (LD) dose followed by a constant rate infusion, IV: L (2.5 mg kg(-1); 100 microg kg(-1) minute(-1)), K (1.5 mg kg(-1); 50 microg kg(-1) minute(-1)), L and K combination or saline, and the MAC (MAC(T)) was re-determined in triplicate. Plasma concentrations of L and K were measured around each MAC point and the values averaged. RESULTS: The least-squares mean MAC(B) for all treatments was 1.13 +/- 0.03%. L, K, and LK reduced (p < 0.05) MAC(B) by 18.3%, 49.6% and 69.4%, respectively. Plasma concentrations for L, K, and LK were 1617 +/- 385, 1535 +/- 251 and 1865 +/- 317/1467 +/- 185 ng mL(-1), respectively. No change (p > 0.05) occurred with saline. CONCLUSION: Lidocaine and K caused significant decreases in the MAC of ISO. The combination (LK) had an additive effect. However, the plasma L concentrations were less than predicted, as was the MAC reduction with L. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The use of L, K and the combination, at the doses studied, will allow a clinically important reduction in the concentration of ISO required to maintain general anesthesia in goats. |
