Comparison of Anaesthetic Effects of Intravenous Emulsified Isoflurane and Inhaled Isoflurane in Dogs

To compare anaesthetic effects between emulsified isoflurane (El) through intravenous route and inhaled isoflurane in dogs, 16 healthy adult non-purebred dogs were randomly divided into intravenous anaesthesia groups with 8% El (El group) and an induction anaesthesia group (IA group) with vapor isoflurane. The anaesthetic effect was assessed by observing dog's reaction, obvious side effects and baseline physiological parameters, including of Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP), Respiratory Rate (RR), Diastolic Arterial Pressure (DAP), Heart Rate (HR), Systolic Arterial Pressure (SAP), Oxygen saturation (SpO(2)) were recorded at 0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80 min after administered anaesthetic agents. The results revealed that no conspicuous differences were discovered between the groups during anaesthesia.This study showed that there is a good prospect for using El intravenously in dog anaesthesia.
