The objective of this research was to determine a protocol for effective and safe pharmacological restraint (Phrynops geoffroanusi), with average weight of 1.9 ± 0.77 kg, clinically healthy, 02 males and 18 females, capturing in Uberabinha river in the city of Uberlândia - MG under license M ° 032/2006 IBAMA-RAN, were housed in a tank with running water and water heaters with an average temperature of 27 ° C. the turtles were divided into two groups of 10 animals: G1 - midazolam (2.0 mg / kg IM) and propofol (5.0 mg / kg IV) and G2 - midazolam (2.0 mg / kg IM) and propofol 2.5 mg / kg IV). Midazolam was administered in the left forelimb and propofol was injected directly in the cervical vertebral sinus. There was the anesthetic parameters of movement, muscular relaxation, in response to stimuli forelimbs and tail, ease of handling and heart rate, at 0 and 5, 10, 20, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 minutes after the injections. There was no statistically significant between two groups, so this protocol is not indicated for surgical procedures in Phrynops geoffroanus.
The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of the combination of the ketamine and the propofol anesthetics in Podocnemis expansa (giant amazon river turtle). Were used 20 turtle, which were divided into two groups of ten animals each. The first group received ketamine 20mg/kg/IM and propofol 10mg/kg/IV and the second group received ketamine 60mg/kg/IM and propofol 10mg/kg/IV. The animals were weighed and identified. The cardiac frequency of each animal was monitored before running the anesthesia and at 10, 30, 60, 120 and 180 minutes after administration of anesthetics. The applications of anesthetics occurred in the left forelimb (ketamine) and in the cervical vertebral sinus (propofol). Was assessed the degree of movement, muscle relaxation, ease of handling and response to painful stimulus in the thoracic limbs and pelvic, after administration of anesthetics. All animals entered in the surgical anesthesia plan before one minute after application of the anesthetic and remained in this condition by 180 minutes during the turtle’s evaluation
A anestesia caudal foi proposta pela primeira vez em 1926 e diversas técnicas foram desenvolvidas para anestesiar os nervos espinhais lombares e sacrais.Este estudo determinou a esqueletopia do cone medular de Sus scrofa scrofa, utilizando 18 javalis de ambos os sexos, sendo 7 fêmeas e 11 machos, provenientes de um criatório no município de Romaria, Minas Gerais. Estes foram fixados em solução aquosa de formol à 10% e conservados em tanque de igual solução. Foram retirados os músculos da região dorsal à coluna vertebral, os arcos vertebrais e o tecido adiposo, expondo a medula espinhal e o cone medular. Houve variância na disposição deste entre os espécimes, sendo que os cones medulares dos javalis estenderam-se da vértebra L 4 até a terceira vértebra sacral (S 3 ), com comprimento médio de 34,16 mm ± 7,23
