Cardiovascular effects of insufflation of the abdomen with carbon dioxide in standing horses sedated with detomidine

Abstract

A 60-minute period of abdominal insufflation to an intra-abdominal pressure of 15 mm Hg did not induce significant cardiovascular abnormalities in healthy horses.

Effect of passive pneumoperitoneum on oesophageal pressure, cardiovascular parameters and blood gas analysis in horses

“…(2006), a brief but moderate increase in IAP (<20 mmHg) may be associated with stable haemodynamic conditions. Similar findings were reported by Cruz et al . (2004) in sedated horses subjected to capnoperitoneum of 15 mmHg.…”

Nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drug associated right dorsal colitis in the horse

“…can be given as needed for pain control. If this is not sufficient, constant rate infusion doses can be administered using detomidine (0.006-0.0085 mg/kg bwt/h) and/or butorphanol (0.013 mg/ kg bwt/h) for more consistent pain relief (Cruz et al 2004;Sellon et al 2004). Lidocaine (1.3 mg/kg bwt i.v.…”

Behavioural and cardiorespiratory effects of a constant rate infusion of medetomidine and morphine for sedation during standing laparoscopy in horses

“…Alpha-2 agonists and opioids are the most common drugs used to induce neuroleptanalgesia in horses. Xylazine or detomidine combined with butorphanol, morphine or buprenorphine have been assessed for a variety of standing surgical procedures, including paranasal sinus surgery (Schumacher et al 2000), laparoscopic surgery (Latimer et al 2003;van Dijk et al 2003;Cruz et al 2004;van Hoogmoed and Galuppo 2005), flank laparatomy (Moon and Suter 1993) and long bone fractures (Russell and Maclean 2006).…”

“…Butorphanol is recommended more often than morphine for standing sedation (Schumacher et al 2000;Latimer et al 2003;Cruz et al 2004;van Hoogmoed and Galuppo 2005;Russell and Maclean 2006). Part of the reason may relate to the fact that butorphanol was not a scheduled drug when first introduced into the veterinary market, which allowed more familiarity from clinicians for butorphanol; in addition, i.v.…”
