Efficacy of a Portable Oxygen Concentrator with Pulsed Delivery for Treatment of Hypoxemia During Anesthesia of Wildlife

Abstract: Improvement of chemical capture is an important part of wildlife conservation and animal welfare to minimise distress for the animals and the risk of morbidity and mortality. The aim of this thesis was to improve wildlife immobilisation and anaesthesia by studying physiological variables and clinically evaluate different drug combinations and methods of capture in selected species. Reversible anaesthetic protocols were developed for use in free-ranging lions and four species of SouthEast Asian primates. Captur… Show more

“…Thereafter, the flow rate was adjusted based on body mass to approach the minimum required flow rate necessary to meet a target PaO 2 . Calculation of the target PaO 2 has been described (Fahlman et al 2012). The target PaO 2 represents the estimated PaO 2 value that could be expected in a …”

“…Most physiologic studies that include blood gas analysis demonstrate hypoxemia with the drugs and doses used for anesthesia in free-ranging and captive wild animals (Read 2003;Mich et al 2008;Fahlman et al 2012). Mild to marked hypoxemia has been documented in free-ranging and captive brown bears (Ursus arctos) anesthetized with medetomidine-zolazepamtiletamine (MZT; Fahlman et al 2011).…”

“…As an alternative, the assumed normal partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO 2 ) value that could be expected in a fully conscious animal can be estimated by calculation of the target PaO 2 , as previously described. 5 Intranasal oxygen administered at very low flow rates (0.5-3 L/min; 5-40 ml/kg) improved the PaO 2 in hypoxemic wild brown bears (Ursus arctos) 4 and domestic dogs. 7 In comparison, higher flow rates have been recommended for use in dogs (50-200 ml/kg per minute).…”
