Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the bronchodilatory effect of propofol constant rate infusion (CRI) on PaO2 and PaCO2 in dogs with suspected bronchoconstriction.
Methods: In this retrospective, observational study, anesthetic records from August 2022 through July 2023 at the Seoul National University Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital were reviewed. Dogs with PaO2 < 300 mm Hg and PaCO2 > 45 mm Hg during mechanical ventilation under inhalation anesthesia receiving a propofol CRI were included. Ventilatory parameters and arterial blood gas results were extracted, reported as median (range). Arterial partial pressure of oxygen and PaCO2 values before and after propofol CRI were compared.
Results: 7 client-owned dogs were identified. Bronchoconstriction was suspected postintubation based on ventilatory parameters (tidal volume of 8.1 [6.0 to 9.3] mL/kg; compliance respiratory system of 0.6 [0.4 to 0.8] mL/cm H2O/kg) and arterial blood gas results. Despite immediate interventions, including optimizing mechanical ventilation, deepening anesthesia, and drug therapy, PaO2 remained < 300 mm Hg. Thus, a propofol CRI (12 to 14 mg/kg/h) was initiated. Arterial partial pressure of oxygen increased following propofol CRI, rising from 153.0 (75.5 to 233.0) mm Hg to 284.0 (183.0 to 386.0) mm Hg at 30 minutes (mean difference, 130.9 mm Hg; 95% CI, 21.4 to 240.3) and to 331.5 (236.0 to 458.0) mm Hg at 60 minutes (mean difference, 168.0 mm Hg; 95% CI, 93.0 to 244.5). Arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide levels were similar without improvement. Postoperatively, 4 dogs exhibited hypoxemia, taking 60 to 135 minutes to recover.
Conclusions: In dogs with perioperative gas exchange problems, PaO2 increased after propofol CRI, though PaCO2 levels remained unchanged.
Clinical relevance: Propofol CRI improved oxygenation in dogs with suspected bronchoconstriction and may serve as a bronchodilatory treatment option.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Veterinary Research supports the collaborative exchange of information between researchers and clinicians by publishing novel research findings that bridge the gulf between basic research and clinical practice or that help to translate laboratory research and preclinical studies to the development of clinical trials and clinical practice. The journal welcomes submission of high-quality original studies and review articles in a wide range of scientific fields, including anatomy, anesthesiology, animal welfare, behavior, epidemiology, genetics, heredity, infectious disease, molecular biology, oncology, pharmacology, pathogenic mechanisms, physiology, surgery, theriogenology, toxicology, and vaccinology. Species of interest include production animals, companion animals, equids, exotic animals, birds, reptiles, and wild and marine animals. Reports of laboratory animal studies and studies involving the use of animals as experimental models of human diseases are considered only when the study results are of demonstrable benefit to the species used in the research or to another species of veterinary interest. Other fields of interest or animals species are not necessarily excluded from consideration, but such reports must focus on novel research findings. Submitted papers must make an original and substantial contribution to the veterinary medicine knowledge base; preliminary studies are not appropriate.
