The goal of the present study is to design a good anaesthetic program for dogs which can lead to optimal anaesthesia with no or minimal post-operative adverse effects. For this purpose, we designed two anaesthetic combinations and compared their effects in Mongrel dogs: combination 'A' consisting of atropine, xylazine, ketamine plus propofol, and combination 'B' consisting of atropine, diazepam...

This study evaluated the use of the injectable anesthetic, alphaxalone, as a single agent and in combination with ketamine, xylazine, and morphine in the Chilean rose tarantula, Grammostola rosea. Between two and four animals were evaluated for each anesthetic protocol, and two unanesthetized animals were evaluated for comparative purposes. Anesthetic duration, depth, and quality were assessed ...

OBJECTIVE To compare three anaesthetic protocols for umbilical surgery in calves regarding adequacy of analgesia, and cardiopulmonary and hormonal responses. STUDY DESIGN Prospective, randomised experimental study. ANIMALS Thirty healthy German Holstein calves (7 female, 23 male) aged 45.9 ± 6.4 days. METHODS All calves underwent umbilical surgery in dorsal recumbency. The anaesthetic pro...

Tumor hypoxia can be identified by [F]FAZA positron emission tomography, or invasively using oxygen probes. The impact of anesthetics on tumor hypoxia remains controversial. The aim of this comprehensive study was to investigate the impact of isoflurane and ketamine/xylazine anesthesia on [F]FAZA uptake and partial oxygen pressure (pO2) in carcinoma and muscle tissue of airand oxygen-breathing ...

Arachidonic acid (AA), which is released from phospholipids in the cell membrane by a variety of stimuli, has physiological and pathophysiological roles on cardiovascular system. The current study designed to determine effect intravenously (iv) injected AA electrocardiography (ECG) anesthetized rats.

AIMS The aims of this study were to evaluate the accuracy, repeatability, and safety of multiple intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements by a commercially available rebound tonometer in conscious, conditioned mice, and to characterize the acute and profound effects of anesthesia on IOP in mice. METHODS To test the accuracy of the tonometer, IOPs of CD-1 mice under ketamine/xylazine anesthesia...

Thee different combinations of ketamine hydrochloride were used to induce general anaesthesia for surgical operations (typhlectomy) in 30 adult, single-comb White Leghorn cockerels. They were randomly divided into three groups, each comprising 10 birds. Birds in Group I received xylazine-ketamine combinations at the dose rate of 2 mg xylazine and 10 mg ketamine per kg i.v., whereas birds of Gro...
