A mixture of 2% lignocaine (LIG) and 0.5% bupivacaine (BUP), at respective dose rates of 2 mg/kg and 0.5 mg/kg (LIG-BUP), was compared to LIG (4 mg/kg) and BUP (1 mg/kg) for lumbosacral epidural anaesthesia in 5 sedated cats. Each cat received all 3 treatment regimens at 1-week intervals. The cats were premedicated with an intramuscular injection of atropine sulphate (0.04 mg/kg) and ketamine hydrochloride (10 mg/kg). Onset and duration of analgesia, and time to walking were determined…

EVALUATION OF LIGNOCAINE/ BUPIVACAINE MIXTURE FOR CENTRAL NEURAL BLOCKADE IN GOATS

It was concluded that, despite its longer time to recumbency, LBM had some clinical advantages over the use of LIG or BUP alone for extradural blockade in goats.

Comparison of analgesia provided by lidocaine, lidocaine-morphine or lidocaine-tramadol delivered epidurally in dogs following orchiectomy.

Epidural lidocaine/tramadol provided an analgesic effect comparable to that of epidural lidOCaine/morphine during the first 12 hours after surgical castration without substantial side effects, suggesting that tramadol may be an effective postoperative analgesic in dogs submitted to this surgical procedure.

Comparing lidocaine, bupivacaine and a lidocaine-bupivacaine mixture as a metacarpal block in sheep.

Epidural levobupivacaine alone or combined with different morphine doses in bitches under continuous propofol infusion

Epidural with levobupivacaine alone or combined with morphine allowed for ovariohysterectomy to be performed under low propofol infusion rates, with minimal changes in cardiovascular variables and in serum cortisol levels.

Epidural levobupivacaine alone or combined with different morphine doses in bitches under continuous propofol infusion

Epidural with levobupivacaine alone or combined with morphine allowed for ovariohysterectomy to be performed under low propofol infusion rates, with minimal changes in cardiovascular variables and in serum cortisol levels.

Effect of epidural tramadol and lignocaine on physiological and behavioural changes in goats subjected to castration with a high tension band

Epidural lignocaine injection produced longer duration of antinociception with lower frequency of pain-associated behavioural changes; while treatment with epidural tramadol injection allowed the goats to continue grazing once the rubber ring has been applied.

Comparative study between the use of Levobupivacaine 0,5% and Ropivacaine 1,0% in lumbosacral epidural anesthesia in cats.

The use of ropivacaine and bupvacaine provide equivalent efficacy regarding the sensory and motor block, however, the Sensory and motor latency times are greater in the use ofropavacaine.

Epidural lidocaine and medetomidine-ketamine anaesthesia in feline orthopedic surgery.

This anaesthesia protocol can therefore be used in cats undergoing hind limb fracture reduction and fixation more so in high anaesthetic risk patients or where inhalation anaesthesia is unavailable.

Analgesic effect of epidural maropitant and the combination of maropitant and lidocaine in cats subjected to ovariohysterectomy

Results indicate analgesic effects of lidocaine and maropitant used alone for two hours and the combination for three hours, the clinical use is limited because the duration of analgesia is too short for postoperative analgesia.

Effects of a single-bolus bupivacaine injection into the coccygeal spinal canal of rabbits

It is indicated that coccygeal epidural injection of bupivacaine in rabbits may provide anesthesia for the hind limbs, perineum, and tail, but inadvertent vascular entry of the epidural drug may occur.

Antinociceptive and Motor-blocking Efficacy of Ropivacaine and Bupivacaine After Epidural Administration in the Dog

In this animal model, ropivacaine produced shorter durations of sensory and motor block than corresponding concentrations of bupvacaine, and this data is consistent with previously published data in animals and humans.

Epidural analgesia in the dog and cat.

The technique of epidural injection in the dog is described as are the indications for the technique, which include the provision of anaesthesia for such procedures as orthopaedic surgery of the hind limb and caesarian section.

Mixtures of Local Anesthetics Are No More Toxic than the Parent Drugs

Mixing increased the distance between convulsant and lethal doses, with survival from convulsions induced by bupivacaine-containing mixtures enhanced in particular, concluding that local anesthetic toxicity is essentially additive.

Epidural anaesthesia using lignocaine, bupivacaine or a mixture of lignocaine and bupivacaine in dogs

The combination appeared to be the best choice when surgical time is prolonged as it produced a shorter time to loss of interdigital reflex than bupivacaine alone, longer analgesia than lignocaine alone and longer muscle relaxation than either lignOCaine or bupvacaine.
