Abstract
Objective
To investigate the haemodynamic effects of gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) in isoflurane-anaesthetized pigs.
A group of six stress-resistant Landrace pigs (approximately 3 months old; three male, three female; bodyweight 39.2 ± 4 kg, mean ± standard deviation).
Methods
After premedication (midazolam 0.5 mg kg–1 and ketamine 10 mg kg–1 intramuscularly) and induction [propofol 0.25–0.5 mg kg–1 intravenously (IV)], anaesthesia was maintained with isoflurane in oxygen, and either GHB 250 mg kg–1 IV or an equal volume of saline was administered (minimum washout period 1 week). Systolic (SAP), diastolic (DAP) and mean (MAP) arterial pressures, heart rate and rhythm and respiratory rate were recorded every 5 minutes for 2 hours. Arterial samples were collected for blood gas and pharmacokinetic analyses. Relative changes from baseline were calculated and compared between treatments using a mixed model with time, period and treatment as variables (α < 0.05).
Results
Changes from baseline differed significantly between treatments (p < 0.001) for SAP (GHB –1.6 ± 10.7; saline –5.9 ± 14.8 mmHg), DAP (GHB +2.9 ± 9.6; saline –6.5 ± 10.7 mmHg) and MAP (GHB +2.2 ± 10.5; saline –5.7 ± 9.6 mmHg). Statistical analysis of secondary outcomes suggested effects on PaO2 [GHB –45.2 ± 29.8 mmHg (–6.03 ± 3.97 kPa); saline +24.5 ± 32.4 mmHg (+3.27 ± 4.32 kPa); p < 0.001] and PaCO2 [GHB –2 ± 10 mmHg (–0.27 ± 1.33 kPa); saline –9 ± 8 mmHg (–1.20 ± 1.07 kPa); p < 0.001]. Mean maximum blood concentration of GHB was 1171.1 ± 229.3 μg mL–1, with volume of distribution 335.3 ± 68.5 mL kg–1, clearance 77.2 ± 19.12 mL kg–1 hour–1 and elimination half-life 3.10 ± 0.80 hours.
Conclusions and clinical relevance
GHB did not cause severe physiological side effects and may reduce cardiovascular depression.
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.
