“…Subsequently, all dogs were pre-medicated intramuscularly using a combination of 0.03 mg/kg acepromazine (Acepran 0.2%, Vetnil, SP, Brazil) and 0.2 mg/kg methadone (Mytedom 1%, Cristália, SP, Brazil). Then, anesthesia was induced 30 min later and maintained with propofol (Propotil 1%, BioChimico, RJ, Brazil) using STCI according to the dog PK parameters proposed by Cattai et al [6], using the plasma concentration of propofol (5 μg/mL) as a target. Next, PK data, the volume of distribution, and intercompartmental transfer constants used were obtained from the modeling proposed by Cattai et al [6], considering the following covariates: Weight, age, size, premedication, and sex.…”
