Summary Twenty‐five buffalo calves (age: 14 ± 1.9 months; body weight: 102 ± 9.4 kg) were subjected to intravenous regional analgesia (IRA) of the hind limb with 2 % lignocaine HCl (4 mg/kg b. w.), infused through the dorsal digital vein. In control animals 15 ml of normal saline was infused. The effect of tourniquet release after 35 (8 calves) and 65 min (7 calves) on EEG, ECG, arterial and venous pressures, blood gases and pH, respiration and temperature were studied. A detectable concentration of lignocaine occurred before the release of tourniquet. The lignocaine concentration recorded in the systemic circulation did not produce any significant nervous or cardiovascular changes before or after release of tourniquet. Transient EEG and ECG changes were seen in six (tourniquet release after 35 min) and three (tourniquet release after 65 min) IRA animals, respectively. No significant changes were seen in heart rate, respiratory rate and rectal temperature, systolic, diastolic, mean arterial and central venous pressures. Arterial blood pH, PCO2 and HCO3‐ concentration showed no significant differences. Animals receiving IRA did not show hypoxaemia typical to postural changes.

“…Similar attempts have been made with a great amount of success for analgesia for both fore-as well as hindlimbs of bovines (6,8,9,11,12). Various types of major operative maneuvers have been demonstrated successfully to be easily accomplished on bovine limbs under this form of analgesia (9,12). Despite the popularity enjoyed by this technic among anesthetists in medical practice and the current interest among veterinarians, the mode of action of this form of analgesia is still a mystery (7), although divergent hypotheses have been put forward.…”

“…Since the introduction of intravenous regional anesthesia (IRA) , several publications have appeared t o support the adoption of the technic, though with some modification for the extremities of poor surgical risk patients (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13). Similar attempts have been made with a great amount of success for analgesia for both fore-as well as hindlimbs of bovines (6,8,9,11,12).

“…Despite the popularity enjoyed by this technic among anesthetists in medical practice and the current interest among veterinarians, the mode of action of this form of analgesia is still a mystery (7), although divergent hypotheses have been put forward. One such belief is that the anesthetic gains entry into the extravascular space, thereafter spreading into the tissues t o produce its effects (9,13).…”
