Abstract
Objective
To compare changes in oesophageal (T-Oeso) and rectal (T-Rec) temperature in dogs during general anaesthesia and premedicated with fentanyl, medetomidine–fentanyl or acepromazine–fentanyl.
Study design
Prospective, randomized, blind clinical study.
Animals
A total of 120 healthy dogs, aged 2–10 years and weighing 5–20 kg.
Methods
Dogs were randomly allocated to one of three groups. Animals of F group were premedicated with fentanyl (0.01 mg kg–1), MF group with medetomidine (0.005 mg kg–1) and fentanyl (0.01 mg kg–1) and AF group with acepromazine (0.01 mg kg–1) and fentanyl (0.01 mg kg–1). Anaesthesia was induced with propofol and maintained with isoflurane in oxygen–air mixture. Fentanyl was administered continuously (0.01 mg kg–1 hour–1). The T-Oeso, T-Rec and ambient temperatures were recorded after induction (T0) and subsequently at 10 minute intervals for 60 minutes (T10–T60). Data were analysed using anova or their non-parametric equivalents (p < 0.05).
Results
Median T-Oeso was significantly higher in MF group between T0–T20 compared with other groups. Median T-Oeso significantly decreased in F group from 38.0 °C (T0) to 37.4 °C (T30), 37.1 °C (T40), 36.9 °C (T50) and 36.6 °C (T60), in MF group from 38.3 °C (T0) to 37.7 °C (T30), 37.5 °C (T40), 37.2 °C (T50) and 37.1 °C (T60) and in AF group from 37.7 °C (T0) to 37.3 °C (T40), 37.2 °C (T50) and 37.1 °C (T60). The T-Rec significantly decreased in F group from 38.0 °C (T0) to 37.4 °C (T40), 37.2 °C (T50) and 36.9 °C (T60), in MF group from 38.3 °C (T0) to 37.5 °C (T50) and 37.4 °C (T60) and in AF group from 38.2 °C (T0) to 37.6 °C (T40), 37.5 °C (T50) and 37.4 °C (T60).
Conclusions and clinical relevance
Premedication with fentanyl, medetomidine–fentanyl or acepromazine–fentanyl in the doses used decreased the T-Oeso and T-Rec. The T-Oeso at the beginning of anaesthesia was higher after premedication with medetomidine–fentanyl. However, this difference was not clinically significant.
期刊介绍:
Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia is the official journal of the Association of Veterinary Anaesthetists, the American College of Veterinary Anesthesia and Analgesia and the European College of Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia. Its purpose is the publication of original, peer reviewed articles covering all branches of anaesthesia and the relief of pain in animals. Articles concerned with the following subjects related to anaesthesia and analgesia are also welcome:
the basic sciences;
pathophysiology of disease as it relates to anaesthetic management
equipment
intensive care
chemical restraint of animals including laboratory animals, wildlife and exotic animals
welfare issues associated with pain and distress
education in veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia.
Review articles, special articles, and historical notes will also be published, along with editorials, case reports in the form of letters to the editor, and book reviews. There is also an active correspondence section.
