“…These are relatively shorter periods compared to those observed by Lescano et al (2014), who have reported sternal recumbency that lasted for 32.5±17.7 minutes. Similarly, the recovery period until animals were able to stand was shorter (62±3.7 and 57±5.1 minutes in GISO and GSEVO, respectively) in both groups compared to the 83.3±35.1 minutes reported by Lescano et al (2014). These findings can be accredited to the use of inhalation anesthesia in this study.…”

“…These means are lower than those found in the present study; this discrepancy is likely due to the fact that they did not include ketamine, as this drug increases cardiac output and blood pressure as a result of its sympathomimetic action (Carvalho et al 2006). In the study of Lescano et al (2014) the time to achieve sternal recumbency was 6.9±4.8 minutes and is the lowest onset found in literature. The association with two other pharmacological classes of drugs produced adequate muscle relaxation with rapid onset, although the use of dissociative anesthetics.…”

RESUMO.-[Avaliação de parâmetros cardiorrespirató--rios e recuperação da anestesia em pumas (Puma concolor) anestesiados com detomidina/cetamina e isoflurano ou sevoflurano.] O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar os efeitos cardiorrespiratórios e a recuperação anestésica de onças-pardas (Puma concolor) submetidas à anestesia com detomidina/cetamina e isofluorano ou sevofluorano para avaliação ultrassonográfica abdominal. Para isso, foram utilizados 14 animais divididos alea-toriamente em dois grupos experimentais GISO (n=7) e GSEVO (n=7). Foram submetidos à contenção química com detomidina 0,15mg/kg associada à cetamina 5mg/kg pela via intramuscular, induzidos com propofol 2mg/kg pela via intravenosa e mantidos com isofluorano (GISO) ou sevofluorano. The aim of this study was to assess the cardiopulmonary effects, the onset time after the administration of a detomidine/ketamine combination, and the recovery from anesthesia of cougars (Puma concolor) anesthetized with detomidine/ketamine and isoflurane or sevoflurane for abdominal ultrasound imaging. Fourteen animals were randomly allocated into two experimental groups: GISO (n=7) and GSEVO (n=7). Chemical restraint was performed using 0.15mg/kg detomidine combined with 5mg/kg ketamine intramuscularly; anesthesia induction was achieved using 2mg/kg propofol intravenously and maintenance with isoflurane (GISO) or sevoflurane (GSEVO). The following parameters were assessed: heart rate, respiratory rate, systolic and diastolic arterial blood pressure, mean arterial blood pressure, oxyhemoglobin saturation, rectal temperature, central venous pressure, and end-tidal carbon dioxide. The time to sternal recumbency (TSR) and time to standing position (TSP) were also determined. There was not statistically significant difference for the cardiopulmonary variables or TSP whereas TSR was significantly shorter in GSEVO. The time to onset of anesthesia was 11.1±1.2 minutes and 11.3±1.8 minutes for GISO and GSEVO, respectively. The anesthesia of cougars with detomidine/ketamine and isoflurane or sevoflurane was conducted with safety, cardiopulmonary stability, and increased time to sternal recumbency in the GISO group.

“…Most studies on the chemical immobilization of procyonids have used a combination of a dissociative agent and either an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist or a benzodiazepine (Ramsay 2015), but the use of a combination of these three types of drugs has been reported only in Procyon lotor (Belant 2004). This drug combination, however, has been used in other wild mammals such as ursids (Caulkett & Cattet 1997;Cattet et al 1999;Cattet et al 2003;Onuma 2003;Fahlman et al 2011;Evans et al 2012;Painer et al 2012), xenarthrans (Rojas 2011;Rojas et al 2013;Lescano et al 2014b), otarids (Haulena & Gulland 2001), felids (Lewandowski et al 2002;Curro et al 2004;Fahlman et al 2005;Nallar 2010;Johansson et al 2013;Lescano et al 2014a), primates (Fahlman et al 2006Lescano et al 2013), mustelids (Belant 2005), and cervids (Miller et al 2003;Muller et al 2007;Auer et al 2010).…”

OPEN ACCESSAbstract: Detailed information on the anaesthetic and cardiorespiratory effects of drug combinations used for the chemical immobilization of Kinkajous (Potos flavus) is scarce. This study assessed the effects of ketamine (2.5mg/kg), xylazine (1mg/kg) and midazolam (0.5mg/kg) combination in P. flavus. Five clinically healthy adult Kinkajous of both sexes were included. Heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, blood pressure and body temperature were recorded at five-minute intervals for 25 minutes. Then, animals received 0.125mg/kg of yohimbine by intramuscular injection. Anaesthetic depth was assessed based on stimulus response and muscle tone. Induction, immobilization, and recovery periods were recorded and qu...

“…O manuseio de grandes felídeos é altamente arriscado à equipe envolvida; assim, em consequência de sua natureza selvagem, é necessária a imobilização química desses animais para realização de manejo clínico seguro (Goodrich et al, 2001;Lescano et al, 2014). Contudo, dados na literatura sobre os efeitos dos anestésicos utilizados para imobilizar essas espécies ainda são escassos (Lescano et al, 2014;Albuquerque et al, 2016). Algumas combinações farmacológicas já foram utilizadas para a imobilização de onças-pardas, e consideradas efetivas, como associações tiletamina-zolazepam, cetamina e xilazina (Lescano et al, 2014) ou detomidina e cetamina (Albuquerque et al, 2016), por exemplo.…”

RESUMO O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar as alterações cardiorrespiratórias causadas pela medetomidina associada à cetamina, e o tempo de recuperação após aplicação intramuscular de atipamezole ou ioimbina em Puma concolor. Para isso, foi realizada a aplicação de medetomidina (100µg/kg) associada à cetamina (5mg/kg) em 11 onças-pardas, sendo os parâmetros cardiorrespiratórios registrados a cada 15 minutos, durante 90 minutos de avaliação. Em seguida, a anestesia foi revertida com aplicação intramuscular de ioimbina (0,4mg/kg; n=5) ou atipamezole (0,25mg/kg; n=6), sendo analisado o tempo até a recuperação. Dos parâmetros cardiorrespiratórios avaliados, houve diferença apenas na frequência respiratória (entre os momentos 60 e 90 minutos), estando esta, todavia, dentro do intervalo de referência para a espécie. Além disso, verificou-se tempo para decúbito esternal significativamente menor nos animais do grupo atipamezole (18±7 minutos), quando comparado ao grupo ioimbina (36±17 minutos), entretanto o tempo de recuperação completa foi estatisticamente igual entre os dois reversores analisados. Assim, a associação anestésica promoveu anestesia eficiente, segura e de rápida indução em onças-pardas, permitindo a imobilização dos animais durante os 90 minutos de avaliação, sem a ocorrência de complicações. Ao se comparar a reversão anestésica com atipamezole e ioimbina, observou-se equivalência dos fármacos no tempo de recuperação completa dos animais.
