A BALANCED ANESTHESIA WITH A COMBINATION OF DEXMEDETOMIDINE, KETAMINE, BUTORPHANOL AND PROPOFOL FOR EXPERIMENTAL COMPRESSION ANASTOMOSIS IN SWINE

Abstract

Swine are increasingly used for experimental studies. This necessitates the development of effective anesthetic protocols adapted to this animal species and surgical intervention. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of balanced anesthesia with Dexmedetomidine HCl, Ketamine HCl and Butorphanol tartrate premedication and propofol induction and Ketamine HCl and propofol maintenance. Hematological parameters, respiratory and heart rates, SpO2 during compression anastomosis of the rectum were investigated. The proposed method of balanced anesthesia provides adequate analgesia for performing compression anastomosis in swine.
