Parenteral anesthetic combinations such as ketamine and xylazine have become the agents of choice for anesthesia in the rabbit, because they are effective, easily administered and inexpensive. A number of recent reports have recommended including acepromazine in this combination, but a critical evaluation of this combination in the rabbit has not been reported. Five adult New Zealand white rabbits were anesthetized intramuscularly with ketamine (35 mg/kg) and xylazine (5 mg/kg) with or without acepromazine (0.75 mg/kg). The study was conducted in a double blind fashion, where each rabbit was administered both combinations at a minimum of 7 day intervals. Physiologic parameters were evaluated including heart rate, respiratory rate, central arterial blood pressure, pedal, palpebral and postural reflex activity. The duration of general anesthesia, estimated by the time elapsed between the loss and return of the palpebral reflex, was greater (means = 99 +/- 20 minutes) when acepromazine was employed in the combination compared to (means = 77 +/- 5 minutes) when ketamine/xylazine were used alone. Mean central arterial blood pressure reached a lower level when acepromazine was utilized (means = 46 +/- 8 mm/Hg) than when it was not (means = 57 +/- 12 mm/Hg.). The addition of acepromazine in a ketamine/xylazine combination resulted in a 28% longer period of anesthesia, a 19% lower mean central arterial blood pressure and a 32% longer recovery of postural reflexes. The ketamine/xylazine/acepromazine combination is a useful regimen for normovolemic animals when anesthetic duration greater than that produced by ketamine/xylazine alone is required.  相似文献

Ketamine is often used in combination with tranquilizers to produce surgical anesthesia in rabbits. While generally effective, there is considerable variation in the depth and duration of anesthesia achieved with ketamine combinations. Butorphanol is a mixed agonist-antagonist opioid that is widely used in a variety of other species. In this study, the commonly used ketamine (35 mg/kg)/xylazine (5 mg/kg) combination is compared with ketamine (35 mg/kg)/xylazine (5 mg/kg)/butorphanol (0.1 mg/kg). Rabbits were anesthetized on consecutive weeks with one of the two regimens. Physiologic parameters including heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure and arterial blood gases (pH, PO2, PCO2) were measured throughout anesthesia. Loss of palpebral, pedal and righting reflexes were recorded and reflexes were subsequently evaluated. The addition of butorphanol prolonged reflex loss to 140% (X = 68 min +/- 20 SEM) of control for palpebral reflex; 506% (X = 52 min +/- 18 SEM) of control for pedal reflex; and 159% (X = 128 min +/- 21 SEM) of control for righting reflex. Addition of butorphanol to ketamine/xylazine resulted in mild alterations in the physiologic changes traditionally associated with this combination. Butorphanol can be safely added to the ketamine/xylazine combination in rabbits and results in moderate increases in the duration of reflex loss.  相似文献

A two-stage, long-acting, injectable anesthetic regimen which provided pain-free restraint for swine was developed using nine mixed-breed domestic pigs. Each animal was administered a first-stage drug combination consisting of meperidine hydrochloride and azaperone in the caudal thigh muscles, followed after 20 minutes by a second-stage group of injections consisting of ketamine hydrochloride combined with morphine sulfate in the same muscles of the opposite leg. A mean surgical anesthetic time of 60.6 +/- 18.6 minutes was achieved with this regime and it was found that total anesthetic time could be doubled by a second injection of the ketamine and morphine components alone. All animals had a rapid, uneventful recovery. This combination regime not only provided reliable, long-acting anesthesia but was administered easily, required no tracheal intubation and produced no significant changes in the animals' heart rate or body temperature during the anesthetic period.  相似文献

Ketamine and xylazine used in combination have been shown to be effective, easily administered, cost efficient agents for surgical anesthesia in the rabbit. The effect of xylazine on the central nervous system has been shown to be mediated through alpha-2 adrenergic receptors. Yohimbine, an alpha-2 adrenergic antagonist has been shown to reverse xylazine induced depression and partially antagonize ketamine in other species. We evaluated the antagonistic effect of yohimbine on ketamine/xylazine anesthesia in the rabbit. Six New Zealand White rabbits were anesthetized with intramuscular ketamine (50 mg/kg) and xylazine (10 mg/kg) to establish baseline parameters including respiratory rate, heart rate, and palpebral, pedal and postural reflex activity. Fourteen days later each rabbit was subjected to the same anesthetic regimen followed 30 minutes later by the intravenous administration of yohimbine (0.2 mg/kg). The duration of anesthesia estimated by the time elapsed between the loss and return of the palpebral reflex was reduced in the yohimbine treated trial (means = 29.7 +/- 1.9 minutes) compared to the control trial (means = 67.0 +/- 13.5 minutes). The palpebral reflex returned within 5 minutes following yohimbine treatment. Our results indicated that yohimbine is an effective antagonist of ketamine/xylazine anesthesia in the rabbit. Yohimbine decreases anesthetic duration after intravenous administration and also may aid in the control of undesirable anesthetic effects and overdosage.  相似文献

The main objective of this study was to compare the effects of ketamine and xylazine in aging rats when coadministered intraperitoneally at high anesthetic doses. Three groups (n=6 rats/group) consisting of rats at 3, 6 and 12 months of age were used. During anesthesia, animals were monitored for heart rate, respiratory frequency, blood oxygen saturation, and rectal temperature. The corneal and paw withdrawal reflex were also examined during anesthesia. During anesthesia, withdrawal and corneal reflexes were absent for progressively longer durations with increasing age. Significant decreases in cardiac and respiratory frequency and, blood oxygen saturation occurred for the 6- and 12-month-old animals. Respiratory frequency and blood oxygen saturation returned to normal at the end of the anesthesia; however, the significant decrease in cardiac frequency persisted in the 6- and 12-month-old animals. Rectal temperature was decreased significantly only in the 3-month-old animals. Pulmonary edema and effusion occurred in 50% of the 12-month-old animals. In conclusion, if ketamine-xylazine are used for anesthesia, the doses should be optimized for the age of the subjects prior to initiation of the research project.  相似文献

The effects of physical and chemical restraint on glucose clearance and insulin secretion were evaluated during intravenous glucose tolerance testing in Macaca nigra. Conscious monkeys placed in plexiglas cylindrical restraining devices (CRD) appeared relaxed, but glucose clearance and insulin secretion were impaired. A combination of midazolam with ketamine, compared to ketamine alone, did not cause detectable changes in the intravenous glucose tolerance tests; midazolam also reduced adverse reactions to ketamine and extended the duration of anesthesia. The cylindrical restraining device can be convenient for examining monkeys, but it is limited by its adverse affects on metabolic and hormonal measurements in intravenous glucose-tolerance tests. Chemical restraint using ketamine with midazolam was more effective than ketamine alone.  相似文献

The combination of ketamine and xylazine is a widely used anesthetic for laboratory animals. However, due to an abuse problem in Japan, ketamine has been specified as a narcotic since 2007. Instead of using ketamine, Kawai et al. reported an injectable formula with an equivalent effect to the mixture of ketamine and xylazine [11]. The mixture of 0.3 mg/kg body weight (b.w.) medetomidine (Med.), 4.0 mg/kg b.w. midazoram (Mid.), and 5.0 mg/kg b.w. butorphanol (But.) produced an anesthetic duration of around 40 min in outbred ICR mice. However, the anesthetic effect of the mixture for inbred mice strains remains unknown. Therefore, we examined anesthetic effects of the mixture of Med., Mid., and But. in the BALB/c and C57BL/6J strains. After intraperitoneal injection into mice, right front paw, left hind paw, and tail pinch reflexes as well as corneal and righting reflexes were observed. Every 5 min, we scored each reflex category as 0 for reaction or 1 for no reaction. As long as the total score was at least 4 out of 5, we considered the mixture as putting a mouse in a surgical anesthetic state. The mixture produced an anesthetic duration of more than 45 min in both strains of mice. These results indicate that the mixture of Med., Mid., and But. can be a useful and effective anesthesia for the BALB/c and C57BL/6J strains of inbred mice as well as outbred ICR mice.  相似文献

Sixteen captive and five free-ranging black bears (Ursus americanus) were immobilized with a combination of butorphanol, azaperone, and medetomidine (BAM). The BAM drug combination was premixed using 0.5 ml butorphanol (30 mg/ml), 0.25 ml azaperone (50 mg/ml), and 0.25 ml medetomidine (20 mg/ml) per milliliter to yield a final mix of (15 mg butorphanol+12.5 mg azaperone+5 mg medetomidine)/ml. This combination, dosed at 0.4 ml BAM/approximately 23 kg estimated body weight, provided a mean induction time of 10 min (95% confidence interval [CI]=2 min), consistent anesthesia without apparent adverse effects, and smooth recovery (mean=15 min, 95% CI=4 min) after antagonism with atipamezole (5 mg/mg medetomidine) alone or in combination with naltrexone (5 mg/mg butorphanol). Based on our initial observations, BAM appears to be a reversible and accessible drug combination for immobilizing black bears that merits further evaluation for field use.  相似文献

The main objective of this study was to compare the physiological changes (withdrawal and corneal reflexes, respiratory and cardiac frequency, blood oxygen saturation, and rectal temperature) following intraperitoneal administration of ketamine (80 mg/kg) and xylazine (10 mg/kg) to 3-, 6-, 12- and 18-month-old male Sprague Dawley rats (n=6/age group). Plasma pharmacokinetics, liver metabolism, and blood biochemistry were examined for a limited number of animals to better explain anesthetic drug effects. Selected organs were collected for histopathology. The results for the withdrawal and corneal reflexes suggest a shorter duration and decreased depth of anesthesia with aging. Significant cardiac and respiratory depression, as well as decreased blood oxygen saturation, occurred in all age groups however, cardiac frequency was the most affected parameter with aging, since the 6-, 12-, and 18-month-old animals did not recuperate to normal values during recovery from anesthesia. Pharmacokinetic parameters (T1/2 and AUC) increased and drug clearance decreased with aging, which strongly suggests that drug exposure is associated with the physiological results. The findings for liver S9 fractions of 18-month-old rats compared with the other age groups suggest that following a normal ketamine anesthetic dose (80 mg/kg), drug metabolism is impaired, leading to a significant increase of drug exposure. In conclusion, age and related factors have a substantial effect on ketamine and xylazine availability, which is reflected by significant changes in pharmacokinetics and liver metabolism of these drugs, and this translates into shorter and less effective anesthesia with increasing age.  相似文献

Ketamine is commonly administered in combination with benzodiazepines to achieve surgical anaesthesia in rats. The aim of the present study was to analyze the pharmacological response of the combination ketamine–midazolam injected intraperitoneally at different times of day to rats. The study was conducted in July 2003, during the winter in the Southern hemisphere. Female prepuberal Sprague-Dawley rats synchronized to a 12 h light:12 h dark cycle (light, 07:00–19:00 h) were used as experimental animals. A combination treatment of ketamine (40 mg/kg) and midazolam (2 mg/kg) was administered to five different clock-time groups of rats (n = 7/group). Duration of the latency period, ataxia, loss-of-righting reflex (LRR), post-LRR ataxia, and total pharmacological response were assessed by visual assessment. Significant treatment-time differences were detected in the duration of LRR, post-LRR ataxia, and total pharmacological response duration. The longest pharmacological response occurred in rats injected during the light (rest) phase, and the shortest pharmacological response occurred in rats injected during the dark (activity) phase. Cosinor analysis documented circadian rhythmicity in the duration of post-LRR ataxia. The findings of the study indicate the duration of CNS-depression of the ketamine–midazolam combination exhibits treatment-time-dependent variation in the rat.  相似文献

The addition of xylazine to ketamine hydrochloride was found to enhance analgesia, anesthesia, and muscle relaxation in rhesus monkeys. At 0.10 ml/kg body weight, this combination provided adequate anesthesia for such procedures as cisternal puncture, lumbar spinal puncture, insertion of urinary catheters, finger amputations, and tattooing. The combination of ketamine and xylazine did depress the heart rate, respiration rate, and body temperature more than the administration of ketamine alone. The period of anesthesia also was prolonged, but the monkeys regained consciousness more rapidly at the end of the anesthetic period.  相似文献

Circadian rhythms impact many physiological functions that may affect drug pharmacological response. Ketamine is a dissociative agent commonly used for surgical anesthesia in rats. The aim of the present study was to analyze the central nervous system (CNS) depression and lethality of ketamine injected intraperitoneally at different times during the 24 h. The study was conducted in October 2001, spring in the Southern hemisphere. Female prepuberal Sprague-Dawley rats synchronized to a 12h light:12h dark cycle (light, 07:00h-19:00h) were studied. Ketamine (40 mg/kg) was administered to one of six different clock-time treatment groups (n=6-7 rats each). Duration of latency period, ataxia, loss of righting reflex (LRR), post-LRR ataxia, and total pharmacological response were determined by visual assessment. To investigate acute toxicity, ketamine lethal dose 50 (148.0 mg/kg) was also administered as a single injection to six different treatment-time groups of rats. Significant temporal differences and circadian rhythms were detected in drug-induced post-LRR ataxia and total pharmacological response duration. The longest pharmacological response occurred in rats injected during the light (rest) phase and the shortest response in the dark (activity) phase. No circadian rhythm was detected in acute toxicity. The study findings indicate that the duration of CNS depression of ketamine in rats exhibits circadian rhythmic variation.  相似文献

Barbiturates induce reduction of myocardial contractility and metabolism, whereas ketamine exerts a sympathomimetic effect that can mask its direct depressant effect on contractility. However, it is unclear whether barbiturates, which interfere with the cytochrome P-450 pathway, or ketamine, which inhibits nitric oxide synthesis, also alter the responsiveness of the coronary vessels to vasodilator stimuli. We hypothesized that the parameters of coronary reactive hyperemia (CRH), which reflect both the degree of myocardial metabolism and vascular reactivity, could be modified by the type of anesthesia used. In two groups of goats, anesthesia was induced either using ketamine plus nitrous oxide or pentobarbital alone. To record coronary flow an electromagnetic flow-probe was placed around the left circumflex coronary artery. In the ketamine group (n = 14) and in the pentobarbital group (n = 16) CRH was studied using the indices of myocardial metabolism and vascular dilator responsiveness. In the pentobarbital group all of the indices of myocardial metabolism were lower than in the ketamine group (i.e. the excess to debt flow ratio was 2.3+/-0.8 vs. 4.6+/-2.4; p< 0.001). Yet, some indices of vascular responsiveness (time derivative of coronary flow and the peak to basal flow ratio) were not different in the two groups. Moreover, the duration of the reactive hyperemia was shorter in the ketamine than in the pentobarbital group (118+/-47 vs. 153+/-45 s, p<0.05). It is suggested that pentobarbital decreases the indices of CRH related to metabolic activity, whereas ketamine reduces the duration of the hyperemic response, which suggests an impairment of endothelial function.  相似文献

Rats are commonly used animals for laboratory experiments and many experiments require general anesthesia. However, the lack of published and reproducible intravenous anesthesia protocols for rats results in unnecessary animal use to establish new anesthesia techniques across institutions. We therefore developed an anesthesia protocol with propofol, ketamine, and rocuronium for mechanically ventilated rats, and evaluated vital parameters and plasma concentrations. 15 male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent inhalation induction with sevoflurane and tracheal, venous and arterial cannulation. After established venous access, sevoflurane was substituted by propofol and ketamine (ketofol). Rocuronium was added under mechanical ventilation for 7 h. Drug dosages were stepwise reduced to prevent accumulation. All animals survived the observation period and showed adequate depth of anesthesia. Mean arterial pressure and heart rate remained within normal ranges. Median propofol plasma concentrations remained stable: 1, 4, 7 h: 2.0 (interquartile range (IQR): 1.8–2.2), 2.1 (1.8–2.2), 1.8 (1.6–2.1) µg/ml, whereas median ketamine concentrations slightly differed after 7 h compared to 1 h: 1, 4, 7 h: 3.7 (IQR: 3.5–4.5), 3.8 (3.3–4.1), 3.8 (3.0–4.1) µg/ml. Median rocuronium plasma concentrations were lower after 4 and 7 h compared to 1 h: 1, 4, 7 h: 3.9 (IQR: 3.5–4.9), 3.2 (2.7–3.3), 3.0 (2.4–3.4) µg/ml. Our anesthesia protocol provides stable and reliable anesthesia in mechanically ventilated rats for several hours.  相似文献

We hypothesized that interference of opiate antagonist-precipitated withdrawal signs under anesthesia is anesthetic-specific. Three groups of morphine-dependent rats were compared in different experimental conditions using a protocol of rapid withdrawal induction by an antagonist under anesthesia. We observed that ketamine and midazolam have different effects on the expression of withdrawal. This brings specific insights into the pharmacological basis of therapy with induction of opiate antagonist.  相似文献

Acepromazine-ketamine anesthesia in the rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta).   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Six adult male rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) were anesthetized using a combination of acepromazine maleate and ketamine hydrochloride administered by intramuscular injection. This combination produced a smooth induction to anesthesia requiring less than 5 minutes. The average duration of anesthesia was slightly less than 1 hour and was safely prolonged with additional doses of ketamine. The depth of anesthesia was sufficient for minor surgical procedures and for precise radiological studies. No deleterious side effects were noted, and animals recovered completely in a short time.  相似文献

Two groups of rats were anaesthetized at weekly intervals for 6 weeks with either ketamine/medetomidine alone (60 mg/0.4 mg/kg i.p.) or ketamine/medetomidine (45 mg/0.3 mg/kg i.p.) one hour following buprenorphine (0.05 mg/kg s.c.). Animals that received buprenorphine had longer periods of surgical anaesthesia (P = 0.04) and a greater depression of both mean pedal withdrawal score (P < 0.01) and mean respiratory rate (P = 0.014). Mean total duration of anaesthesia was also greater in the buprenorphine group on day 1. Sleep times reduced with successive doses of anaesthetic in the buprenorphine group (P = 0.024). Two animals in the buprenorphine group died. Repeated anaesthesia with ketamine/medetomidine alone was not associated with anaesthetic mortality. These results indicate that although buprenorphine has a clear anaesthetic-sparing effect, its use with ketamine/medetomidine may be associated with an increased risk of anaesthetic-related mortality.  相似文献

Anesthesia in the rabbit using a combination of ketamine and promazine   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
An anesthetic combination of ketamine and promazine (75mg/kg by ketamine content) was tested in 15 male and 15 female adult New Zealand white rabbits. The mean induction time was 9 minutes for both the male and female. Mean duration for anesthesia was 61 minutes for the male and 49 minutes for the female. The mean recovery time was 22 minutes for the male and 33 minutes for the female. The drug combination provided effective anesthesia for a period of 50--60 minutes after a single intramuscular injection.  相似文献

To identify an anesthetic regimen that produces more complete relaxation and analgesia than ketamine hydrochloride (Ketaset®) alone, a combination of ketamine (15 mg/kg body weight) and the hypnotic xylazine (Rompun®, 0.33 mg/kg) was evaluated. Since the desired experimental application required that the anesthetic not interfere with normal hormonal events during the menstrual cycle, this combination administered on day 6 of the cycle was tested to determine whether hormonal surges, incidence of ovulation, or cycle length would be altered relative to the use of ketamine alone. In five of six animals, ketamine plus xylazine had no effect on the occurrence of timely surges of estrogen, luteinizing hormone (LH), or follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), or on ovulation as determined by the presence of a corpus luteum at laparoscopy and normal serum concentrations of progesterone. There were no significant differences between the cycle during treatment and previous cycles in the same animal for length of the menstrual cycle (26.0 ± 2.3 [5] days; X? ± S.D. [n] or luteal phase (13.4 ± 2.4 [5] days). Likewise, these values did not differ from those of ten control monkeys treated with ketumine only on day 5 or 6 of the cycle (incidence of ovulation, 10/10; cycle length, 27.9 ± 1.8 [10]; luteal phase length, 15.1 ± 1.4 [10], P > 0.05). Patterns of circulating progesterone were not altered by the addition of xylazine anesthesia. These findings indicate that xylazine, given in the midfollicular phase, did not alter ovulatory events or menstrual cycle characteristics in rhesus monkeys. Ketamine plus xylazine apparently provides anesthesia appropriate for laparoscopy.  相似文献

To evaluate the synergistic effect of estrogens and progesterone on prolactin secretion, rhesus and cynomolgus monkeys in the early follicular phase received estradiol benzoate (100 μg/kg/day, sc) alone for 14 days, then in combination with progesterone (subcutaneous silastic capsule) for an additional 14 days. Blood was drawn daily by femoral venipuncture under ketamine hydrochloride anesthesia (15mg/kg). Similarly, this protocol for exogenous steroid treatment was employed in a monkey having a chronically indwelling (femoral insertion into the vena cava) cannula maintained by a vest and mobile tether apparatus; however, no anesthesia was used to obtain serum specimens. In addition, this assembly was applied to six monkeys to determine the acute effects of ketamine hydrochloride on prolactin secretion. Concentrations of prolactin, estradiol-17β, and progesterone in serum were determined by conventional radioimmunoassays. Under estrogen therapy alone, mean circulating prolactin levels declined from ~15 to < 5 ng/ml; in contrast, the addition of progesterone caused an abrupt serum prolactin elevation, ~8–12 fold. This estradiol-progesterone course led to sustained hyperprolactinemia in the chronically catheterized Monkey, whereas ketamine administration raised serum prolactin only briefly, the elevation lasting less than three hours after injection. These findings establish that an estrogen-progesterone synergy, separate from the transient effects of ketamine, Induced hyperprolactinemia in cycling monkeys having prevailing levels of estrogen and progesterone near those characteristic of late gestation, when sustained prolactin elevations are observed normally.  相似文献
