Abstract
Sedation, recovery response, and physiologic outcomes were evaluated in five captive reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) in Minnesota using a completely reversible immobilization protocol. Reindeer were immobilized with butorphanol (0.23-0.32 mg/kg), midazolam (0.23-0.32 mg/kg), and medetomidine (0.15 mg/kg) (BMM) via IM dart. Induction time (IT), recumbency time (DT), and recovery time (RT) were recorded. Temperature (T), respiratory rate (RR), pulse rate (PR), pulse oximetry (SpO2), arterial blood gas values including oxygen (PaO2), and carbon dioxide (PaCO2) tensions and lactate (Lac) were recorded preoxygen supplementation and 15 min postoxygen supplementation. Reversal was done using naltrexone (2.3-3.0 mg/kg), flumazenil (0.008-0.01 mg/kg) and atipamezole (0.62-0.78 mg/kg) (NFA) IM, limiting recumbency to 1 h. Median IT, DT, and RT were 5 min, 46 min, and 7 min, respectively. SpO2 (92 to 99%, P = 0.125), PaO2 (45.5 to 97 mmHg, P = 0.25), and PaCO2 (46.5 to 54.6 mmHg, P = 0.25) all increased, whereas Lac (3.02 to 1.93 mmol/L, P = 0.25) decreased between baseline and 15 min postoxygen supplementation, without statistical significance. BMM immobilization, and reversal with NFA provided rapid and effective immobilization and recovery, respectively. Oxygen supplementation mitigated hypoxemia in all reindeer.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine (JZWM) is considered one of the major sources of information on the biology and veterinary aspects in the field. It stems from the founding premise of AAZV to share zoo animal medicine experiences. The Journal evolved from the long history of members producing case reports and the increased publication of free-ranging wildlife papers.
The Journal accepts manuscripts of original research findings, case reports in the field of veterinary medicine dealing with captive and free-ranging wild animals, brief communications regarding clinical or research observations that may warrant publication. It also publishes and encourages submission of relevant editorials, reviews, special reports, clinical challenges, abstracts of selected articles and book reviews. The Journal is published quarterly, is peer reviewed, is indexed by the major abstracting services, and is international in scope and distribution.
Areas of interest include clinical medicine, surgery, anatomy, radiology, physiology, reproduction, nutrition, parasitology, microbiology, immunology, pathology (including infectious diseases and clinical pathology), toxicology, pharmacology, and epidemiology.
