Objective: To compare the effects of alfaxalone and propofol, with and without acepromazine and butorphanol followed by doxapram, on laryngeal motion and quality of laryngeal examination in dogs. Study design: Randomized, crossover, blinded study. Animals: Ten female Beagle dogs, aged 11-13 months...

Objective: To compare the effects of two doses of doxapram intravenous injection and carbon dioxide inhalation on the cardiovascular and laryngeal functions of anesthetized hounds. Study design: Experimental study. Animals: Six healthy adult dogs. Methods: In a Latin-square design, the mean...

The present prospective randomized experimental study was designed to determine the effects of doxapram on haematological, serum biochemical and antioxidant status in dogs after propofol anaesthesia. Twenty-four healthy male mixed breed dogs, aged 1-2 years, weighing 20.4 ± 2.6 kg was studied. Each ...

Objective: To determine the influence of propofol or methohexital, with and without doxapram, on the examination of laryngeal function in dogs. Study design: Experimental study. Animals: Forty healthy dogs randomly assigned to 4 groups: propofol with saline (n=10), propofol with doxapram (n=10),...

We investigated the effect of constant rate infusion (CRI) with doxapram on cardiopulmonary function during total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with remifentanil and propofol CRI in dogs. Fifteen male Beagle dogs were randomly divided into 3 groups. All groups were premedicated with medetomidine...

This article reviews the literature describing the anaesthetic and ancillary drugs used during the assessment of laryngeal function in dogs, and summarises the evidence for their use in clinical practice. A review of the literature was conducted using PubMed and Google Scholar, with the search...

We report effect of intravenous doxapram on recovery from isoflurane anesthesia in dog. Twelve clinically healthy male mixed dogs were sedated by acepromazine and 30 min later induced by propofol titration maintained 30 min by isoflurane. At end of anesthesia 2 mg/kg doxapram was injected IV to 6 ...

Objective: To compare the effect of chemical and mechanical stimulation on arytenoid cartilage motion during anaesthetic induction with alfaxalone, thiopentone or propofol. Study design: Masked, randomized, crossover study. Animals: A group of eight adult Beagle dogs. Methods: Anaesthesia was...

Anaesthetic drugs are commonly used during the evaluation of laryngeal function in dogs. The aim of this review was to systematically analyse the literature describing the effects of anaesthetic drugs and doxapram on laryngeal motion in dogs and to determine which drug regime provides the best...

Objective: To determine the ability to evaluate laryngeal function under sedation with dexmedetomidine alone or in combination with opioids. Study design: Randomized, crossover, blinded study. Animals: Eight adult research hounds weighing 8 to 22.5 kg. Methods: Dogs were sedated with propofol,...
