Intramuscular injections of ketamine-acepromazine provided satisfactory surgical levels of anaesthesia. Induction was smooth. There was a wide margin of safety with no significant side effects, and there were no deaths attributable to anaesthesia. Induction time was 4-6 min, duration of surgical anaesthesia was 40-60 min, with complete recovery in 2-5 h. 80 chinchillas were used for this study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
