The majority of anaesthetics used in studies regarding heart arrhythmias may affect the cardiac conduction system, thus influencing the results. In veterinary medicine, xylazine, medetomidine and dexmedetomidine are commonly used for premedication in laboratory and companion animals. To date, there have been no studies assessing the effect of these substances on the cardiac conduction system. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of xylazine, medetomidine and dexmedetomidine on the parameters of the cardiac conduction system in pigs. The study was carried out on 18 Great White Polish male pigs weighing from 21 to 40 kg. The animals were divided into three equal groups. The animals from the first group received xylazine at a dose of 2 mg/kg i.v.; those from the second group received medetomidine at 40 mcg/kg i.v.; and those from the third group received dexmedetomidine at 10 mcg/kg i.v. The electrophysiological activity of the heart was analysed using an invasive electrophysiological study (EPS). During the EPS, a decrease in the heart rate after substance administration was observed in all animals, but there were no statistically significant differences in the cardiac conduction parameters. A pro-arrhythmic effect of xylazine was observed, but no statistically significant changes in the EPS parameters were noted. Our results indicate that medetomidine and dexmedetomidine may be used as standard premedication drugs in electrophysiological studies in pigs. Their use may facilitate animal preparation procedures without affecting study results.
Safe and effective anaesthesiological protocols in domestic pig.The aim of this study was to establish a neuroleptanalgesic protocol anda general anaesthetic protocol in domestic pigs. The study was approved by approved by the Local Ethical Commission of the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn (the permit no. 73/2015). Fifteen juvenile female crossbred gilts were used. The drugs used in intramuscularly injection were: atropine (0.035 mg/kg b.w.), ketamine (7.0 mg/kg b.w.), medetomidine (0.063 mg/kg b.w.). The main anaesthetic drug, propofol, was given intravenously for induction and maintenance of general anaesthesia. To achieve the adequate neuroleptanalgesia the animals required in intramuscular injection atropine, ketamine and medetomidine mixing in the same syringe. The average time from muscular injection to the point at which pigs remained laterally recumbent was 1.95 ± 0.72 min. The average time from muscular injection to the point at which pigs managed to stand in recovery was 75.80 ± 13.14 min. To achieve the general anaesthesia the pigs required atropine, ketamine, medetomidine and propofol. Premedication with mixture of atropine, ketamine and medetomidine was achieved rapidly after intramuscular injection. All pigs became recumbent within 1.20 ± 0.19 min without any signs of excitement. The average time from muscular injection to the point at which pigs remained laterally recumbent was 2.06 ± 0.67 min. The induction dose of propofol was 4.5 mg/kg b. w.. Anaesthesia was maintained with propofol 2.0 mg/kg b.w.. During the surgery no complications occurred intraoperatively concerning. Concluding the findings demonstrate that the proposed protocols permits to obtain a safe and effective neuroleptanalgesia and general anaesthesia in swine and can be useful in biomedical investigations. A short-lasting time for recumbency after intramuscularly injection of atropine, ketamine and medetomidine mixture injection can allow optimizing the workflow of clinical practice in a laboratory animal farm.
An anesthetic combination of medetomidine-midazolam-atropine and propofol was investigated in twenty New Zealand White rabbits. Each rabbit received combined medetomidine at a dosage of 0.2 mg/kg (b.w.), midazolam (0.5 mg/kg b.w.) and atropine (0.5 mg/kg b.w.) intramuscularly for induction of anesthesia. Propofol was administered intravenously - given to effect, and after that by an infusion pump to maintain anesthesia. The influence of the anesthetic combination on the cardiopulmonary system was evaluated by monitoring respiratory and heart rates, blood pressure, and arterial blood gas tensions. The results obtained showed that propofol infusion at a rate of 0.5 mg/kg b.w./min maintained general anesthesia effectively with few side effects on the cardiopulmonary system during 30 minutes. However, slight hypotension, hypercapnia, and respiratory acidosis were associated with infusion of this anesthetic. The recovery of the rabbits from the anesthesia was smooth. Two rabbits died 20 to 24 hours after anesthesia. In conclusion, an anesthetic combination with medetomidine-midazolam-atropine and propofol at the investigated doses was shown to be a safe method to induce and maintain general anesthesia enabling short-term surgical procedures in healthy animals.
