Associação de cetamina S(+) e midazolam pelo método convencional de cálculo e pela extrapolação alométrica em bugios-ruivo (Alouatta guariba clamitans): resposta clínica e cardiorrespiratória

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o protocolo de contencao quimica com cetamina S(+) e midazolam em bugios-ruivos, comparando o calculo de doses pelo metodo convencional e o metodo de extrapolacao alometrica. Foram utilizados 12 macacos bugios (Alouatta guariba clamitans) higidos, com peso medio de 4,84±0,97kg, de ambos os sexos. Apos jejum alimentar de 12 horas e hidrico de seis horas, realizou-se contencao fisica manual e aferiram-se os seguintes parâmetros: frequencia cardiaca (FC), frequencia respiratoria (f), tempo de preenchimento capilar (TPC), temperatura retal (TR), pressao arterial sistolica nao invasiva (PANI) e valores de hemogasometria arterial. Posteriormente, os animais foram alocados em dois grupos: GC (Grupo Convencional, n=06), os quais receberam cetamina S(+) (5mg kg-1) e midazolam (0,5mg kg-1), pela via intramuscular, com doses calculadas pelo metodo convencional; e GA (Grupo Alometria, n=06), os quais receberam o mesmo protocolo, pela mesma via, utilizando-se as doses calculadas pelo metodo de extrapolacao alometrica. Os parâmetros descritos foram mensurados novamente nos seguintes momentos: M5, M10, M20 e M30 (cinco, 10, 20 e 30 minutos apos a administracao dos farmacos, respectivamente). Tambem foram avaliados: qualidade de miorrelaxamento, reflexo podal e caudal, pincamento interdigital, tempo para inducao de decubito, tempo habil de sedacao, qualidade de sedacao, e tempo e qualidade de recuperacao. O GA apresentou menor tempo para inducao ao decubito, maior grau e tempo de sedacao, bem como reducao significativa da FC e PANI de M5 ate M30, quando comparado ao GC. Conclui-se que o grupo no qual o calculo de dose foi realizado por meio da alometria (GA) apresentou melhor grau de relaxamento muscular e sedacao, sem produzir depressao cardiorrespiratoria significativa.

Dexmedetomidina epidural em gatas submetidas à ovariosalpingohisterectomia sob anestesia total intravenosa com propofol e pré-medicadas com cetamina S(+) e midazolam

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the epidural administration of dexmedetomidine in cats submitted to ovariohisterectomy, under continuous infusion of propofol. The cats received S(+) ketamine (5mg kg-1) and midazolan (0.5mg kg-1) as premedication by intramuscular injection, and propofol as induction agent (4mg kg-1), by intravenous injection. After that, the cats were intubated and kept on oxygen 100%. Subsequently the continuous infusion of propofol was initiated (0.3mg kg-1 min-1). The animals were divided into two groups, in the dexmedetomidine group (DEXG, n=6,2µg kg-1) dexmedetomidine was administered by epidural injection, and in the control group (SALG, n=6) saline solution was administered by the same way. In both groups the final volume was 0.26 mL kg-1 completed with NaCl 0.9%. Fentanyl administration was necessary at T10 in 33.3% of the patients. During the continuous infusion of propofol, the medial palpebral reflex was present in 66.6% of the animals of SALG and in 16.6% of the animals of DEXG. The eyeball was centralized in all the animals of SALG and 83.4% of the animals of DEXG the eyeball were with ventral rotation. Reduction of the heart rate was observed after anesthesia induction in both groups. The mean arterial pressure was significantly lesser at T0 and T5 in the DEXG and greater at T10 in the SALG when compared to the basal values. The respiratory rate was lesser in the DEXG at T20 and T30 when compared to SALG. The SaO2 and PaO2 were bigger from T5 to T40. The PaCO2 bigger values were observed at T5, T10, T20, T30 and T40 for the DEXG and at T5, T10 and T20 in the SALG when compared to the basal values. In the anesthetic recovery, 50% and 16.6% of the animals presented aggressiveness in the SALG and DEXG, respectively. To the wound pain threshold, it was observed that 33.3% of animals of SALG and 66.7% of the animals of DEXG received score 0 (without reaction). It was concluded that the animals that received dexmedetomidine administration by epidural injection, presented more stable anesthetic plan with greater analgesia degree in the peri and postoperative period, better quality anesthesia recovery, and without significant cardiovascular and hemogasometric changes.

Efeitos cardiovascular e metabólico da reposição volêmica com hidroxietilamido 130/0,4 em felinos domésticos com hipovolemia induzida

The aim of this study was to compare the volemic expansion effects produced by hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 (HES 130/0.4) or blood, in female cats with induced hypovolemia. Twelve healthy adult female cats, crossbreed and weighing an average of 2.85±0.28kg were used. They were induced into general anesthesia with isofluorane at 5V%, intubated and connected to a non-rebreathing system. After instrumentation, the animals were maintained under anesthesia with isofluorane at 1.3V% and maintained on pressure cycled mechanic ventilation. Afterwards, hypovolemia was induced by withdrawal of 30ml kg-1 of blood from the femoral artery. After 60 minutes of stabilization of the patient, the treatments were initiated. In the hydroxyethyl starch group (GH, n=06) the animals received hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 as volemic expansion at the same volume of blood withdrawed, in the blood group (GS, n=06) the animals received their own withdrawed blood, being considered the control group. The systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressures and central venous pressure increased after volemic expansion in both groups. An increase of PaCO2 at T15, T30 and T60 in GH was observed. In addition, there was reduction of pH at T30 and T45 and Na+ ions at T90 in GH. The arterial pressure restoration with the use of HES 130/0.4 was similar to the control group; the volemic expansion with HES 130/0,4 produces accentuated increase of CVP; the use of HES 130/0,4 in female cats submitted to hypovolemia did not produce clinically significant alterations in acid-base equilibrium.

Sonda uretral flexível como método alternativo para aferição invasiva da pressão intracraniana em trauma cranioencefálico induzido em coelhos

The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of flexible urethral catheter as an alternative method for measuring intracranial pressure in rabbits with head trauma induced by 4 F Fogarty catheter (epidural balloon) and compare the data obtained with the conventional method of ventriculostomy catheter. In this study, New Zealand rabbits were randomly distributed into two groups, G1: measuring the ICP with ventriculostomy catheter (n=6) and G2: measuring the ICP with urethral catheter (n=6). Two craniotomies were performed in the right and left parietal region for the implantation of a ventriculostomy catheter and/or flexible urethral catheter and epidural 4 Fr Fogarty arterial embolectomy catheter, respectively. MAP, CPP, HR, RF and RT values were measured before and after of the craniotomy. The ICP value was measured after craniotomy, every five minutes during 40 minutes after the balloon was inflated with 0.3 ml with NaCl and further 40 minutes after the balloon was inflated with 0.6 ml. The ICP value increased in both groups; however, the ICP values were lower in the flexible urethral catheter. The flexible urethral catheter can be used as an alternative method to measure ICP values in rabbits with head injury.
