| Title | Comparative study between target-controlled-infusion and continuous-infusion anesthesia in dogs treated with methotrimeprazine and treated with propofol and remifentanil. | | Author(s) | Hatschbach E, Silva FD, Beier SL, Lima AF, Massone F | | Institution | Faculty of Medicine of Botucatu, UNESP, São Paulo, Brazil. | | Source | Acta Cir Bras 2008 Feb; 23(1):65-72. | | Abstract | PURPOSE: To compare two propofol infusion techniques in bitches subjected to ovaryhisterectomy by estimating the efficiency of the propofol target-dose, evaluating the cardiorespiratory and hemogasimetric attributes, and the bispectral scale index (BIS) as well as the recovery period characteristics.
METHODS: Twenty anesthetized bitches were divided into two groups of 10 each (G1, G2). Animals of G1 were pre-treated with methotrimeprazine and anesthetized with target-controlled propofol infusion by means of a Harvard infusion pump combined to remifentanil through a syringe pump.
RESULTS: Bradycardia and light hypotension, hemogasimetric and respiratory stability besides a good myorelaxation, more evident during continuous infusion and good hypnosis.
CONCLUSIONS: Dosis used in both techniques, after methotrimeprazine pre-treatment and combined to the opioid, were efficient for the surgery. The target-controlled anesthesia required a smaller anesthetic consumption (propofol) with faster recovery periods. | | Language | ENG | | Pub Type(s) | JOURNAL ARTICLE
