Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialUse of a combination of propofol and fentanyl, alfentanil, or sufentanil for total intravenous anesthesia in cats.
To determine the cardiorespiratory effects of an i.v. infusion of propofol alone or in association with fentanyl, alfentanil, or sufentanil in cats and, for each combination, the minimal infusion rate of propofol that would inhibit a response to noxious stimuli. ⋯ Results suggest that infusion of propofol in combination with fentanyl, alfentanil, or sufentanil results in satisfactory anesthesia in cats.
