Abstract

This study presents data collected from 41 captive white‐bellied spider monkey (Ateles belzebuth) immobilisations conducted between 2022 and 2024. The anaesthetic protocol employed consisted of dexmedetomidine (0.04 mg/kg), ketamine (5 mg/kg) and midazolam (0.25 mg/kg), with supplementary intramuscular doses dexmedetomidine (0.02 mg/kg) and ketamine (2.5 mg/kg) administered as needed. The protocol demonstrated fast and efficient induction times, with no reported complications, indicating its safety and efficacy. During immobilisation, all animals were placed in dorsal recumbency, with monitored physiological parameters including heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature, SpO2 and capillary refill rate. Additionally, blood samples were collected for haematology and biochemistry analysis. The dose of atipamezole administered was 10 times that of dexmedetomidine. Data on time to recumbency, duration of immobilisation, recovery times and post‐antagonist drug administration recovery were recorded. Moreover, details regarding the type of restraint and pre‐anaesthetic activity level were included in the analysis.

利用右美托咪定、氯胺酮和咪达唑仑对秘鲁伊基托斯亚马逊雨林中圈养的白腹蜘蛛猴（Ateles belzebuth）进行固定和健康评估

本研究介绍了2022年至2024年期间对41只人工饲养的白腹蜘蛛猴（Ateles belzebuth）进行固定的数据。采用的麻醉方案包括右美托咪定（0.04毫克/千克）、氯胺酮（5毫克/千克）和咪达唑仑（0.25毫克/千克），并根据需要补充肌肉注射右美托咪定（0.02毫克/千克）和氯胺酮（2.5毫克/千克）。该方案诱导时间短、效率高，且无并发症报道，显示了其安全性和有效性。在固定过程中，所有动物都处于背卧状态，生理参数包括心率、呼吸频率、体温、SpO2 和毛细血管再充盈率均受到监测。此外，还采集血液样本进行血液学和生物化学分析。阿替帕米唑的剂量是右美托咪定的 10 倍。研究人员记录了患者卧床时间、固定时间、恢复时间和拮抗剂用药后的恢复情况等数据。此外，有关束缚类型和麻醉前活动水平的详细信息也纳入了分析。

期刊介绍： Vet Record Case Reports is an online resource that publishes articles in all fields of veterinary medicine and surgery so that veterinary professionals, researchers and others can easily find important information on both common and rare conditions. Articles may be about a single animal, herd, flock or other group of animals managed together. Common cases that present a diagnostic, ethical or management challenge, or that highlight aspects of mechanisms of injury, pharmacology or histopathology are deemed of particular educational value. All articles are peer reviewed and copy edited before publication.
