ANESTESIA EM CÁGADOS-DE-BARBICHA, SOB EFEITO DE PROPOFROL ADMINISTRADO POR VIA INTRACELOMÁTICA

Abstract

In the present study, the influence of the water regime on the effects of propofol on Phrynops geoffroanus was evaluated. Ten animals, which were anesthetized with propofol 1% at a dose of 35 mg / kg, were used intracelomatically on two occasions, with a 15 day interval. Two experimental groups G1 and G2 were set up in learner. In G1 the animals were withdrawn from the water 12 hours before the anesthesia, and in the G2 they remained in the water until the moment of the anesthetic induction. The duration of the latency period, skill period, recovery period and quality of pharmacological containment were evaluated. In G1, the means of the latency, skillful anesthetic and recovery periods were 16.8±8.4 minutes, 86.5±79.4 minutes and 1.5±3.8 minutes, respectively. In the G2, the mean values were 19.9±9.8 minutes, 110.9±104.7 minutes and 28.8±58.2 minutes respectively. It was concluded that the quality of the pharmacological restraint was considered good in both groups.
