The effect of pentazocine on diazepam/ketamine anaesthesia was evaluated in this study. Pentazocine (10 mg/kg) was administered intramuscularly (im) prior to injection of diazepam (2 mg/kg, iv) and ketamine (15 mg/kg, im) in pentazocine/diazepam/ketamine (P/D/K) group. In the diazepam/ketamine...

The aim of this prospective, randomized, blinded crossover study was compare the cardiopulmonary and sedative effects of ketamine in combination with acepromazine, diazepam, dexmedetomidine, midazolam or xylazine, injected intramuscularly in rabbits, using eight one-year-old male New Zealand ...

Studying the effect of general anaesthesia on blood parameters is extremely important both in terms of patient safety and determining protocol suitability for the patient. There is no study on the assessment of the effects of Diazepam/Propofol and Diazepam/Remifentanil combination administered to...

The efficacy and safety of the recommended intramuscular (im) clinical doses of xylazine-ketamine (5 mg-35 mg/kg), diazepam-ketamine (5 mg-60 mg/kg) and acepromazine-ketamine (5 mg-75 mg/kg) post administration were obtained, evaluated and compared using the following parameters in 10 apparently...

Zoo and wildlife practitioners are constantly exposed to persistent dangers during physical restraint of wild animals. Chemical immobilization in reptiles is unpredictable due to their ectothermic nature. This study aims to determine a safe and effective anesthetic protocol for immobilization in...

The study was conducted at the animal house of the collage of Veterinary medicine university of Basrah, the objective of this study to know effect ketamine drug as anesthetic agent in rabbits and comparison between several types of general anesthetic systems in rabbits and study the combination...

The study evaluated the effect of sub-anaesthetic ketamine on peri-operative pain in goats anaesthesized with diazepam-ketamine prior to rumenotomy. Nine West African dwarf goats used for the study were divided into three (3) groups (n=3). Group 1 received diazepam (0.5 mg/kg IV) and ketamine (5...

The prefrontal cortex and the amygdala are critical for the emotional guidance of behavior and are believed to be a site of action for many anxiolytics and anxiogenics. Despite extensive studies examining how these drugs affect behavior, there is little information regarding their effects on...

The objective of this paper was to compare the effects of diazepam/ketamine and xylazine/ketamine combinations administered intramuscularly to geese, by measurement of the duration of individual anaesthesia periods, and, by exploring their effect on the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, to...

The anesthetic ketamine is often combined with analgesics and benzodiazepines in equine medicine. Therefore, drug-drug interactions are possible. Enzyme kinetics for ketamine N-demethylation were determined using equine CYP3A94, CYP3A95 and CYP3A97, and the effect of medetomidine, diazepam and...
