| Abstract: | To examine the influence of detomidine or romifidine on recovery quality from isoflurane anesthesia, 78 anesthetic records were reviewed, from horses that had received romifidine (group R) during premedication 80–120 μg kg?1 IV], anesthetic maintenance (40 μg kg?1 hour?1 IV), and recovery (20 μg kg?1 IV) or detomidine (group D), at doses of 10–20 μg kg?1 IV, 5 μg kg?1 hour?1 IV, and 2.5 μg kg?1 IV, respectively. Duration of the different recovery phases, the number of attempts to sternal and standing, scores for transition to standing (TrSta), balance and coordination once standing (BC), and final recovery score (FS) were compared between groups using a Mann–Whitney U-test, independent t-test, or chi-squared test, as appropriate (alpha 0.05). Parametric data are represented as the mean ± standard deviation, and nonparametric data as the median (interquartile range). Compared with group D (25 horses), horses in group R (53 horses) needed significantly fewer attempts to achieve sternal recumbency R 1 (1–1) vs. D 1 (1–2)], remained significantly longer in sternal recumbency R 10 (3–14,5) vs. D 5 (1–9,5) minutes], needed significantly less attempts to stand R 1 (1–1) vs. D 2 (1–4)], and a significantly shorter time to stand after making their first attempt R 0 (0–0) vs. D 3 (0–6) minutes], with significantly better scores for TrSta, BC, and FS in group R. The results suggest that, at the doses used, romifidine provides a better recovery quality. |
