COMPARATIVE STUDY OF TWO PREANAESTHETIC PROTOCOLS: ACEPROMACINE/PETIDINE AND MEDETOMIDINE BEFORE KETAMINE OR ALFAXOLONE/ALFADOLONE ANAESTHESIA IN THE CAT
Abstract
Four injectable anaesthesia combinations Acp(0,1mg/kg)-Pet(3,3mg/kg)-Ket(10mg/kg), Med(80ugr/kg)-Ket(5mg/ kg), Acp(0,1mg/kg)-Pet(3.3mg/kg)-Saf(10mg/kg) and Med(80ugr/kg)-Saf(5mg/kg) were studied in five cats. Preanaesthesia was administered intramuscularly. The sedation quality was scored, then, general anaesthesia was induced intravenously. The trachea was intubated and the quality and time to intubation were recorded. The duration and quality of the anaesthesia was determined for each anaesthetic combination. Several cardiorespiratory parameters (RF, ETCO2, SpO2, HR, ECG, SAP and body temperature) were measured every 5 min. The preanaesthetic combination Acp-Pet did not produce profound sedation, and its use with ketamine induced a light plane anaesthesia. The combination Acp-Pet-Saf produced moderate anaesthesia and hipotension. Medetomidine produced profound sedation and a good plane of anaesthesia in combination with both ketamine and Saffan®.Downloads
