Comparative Study
Cardiopulmonary effects of sevoflurane, compared with halothane, enflurane, and isoflurane, in dogs.
To evaluate cardiopulmonary effects of sevoflurane (Sevo), compared with halothane (Hal), enflurane (Enf), and isoflurane (Iso). ⋯ Cardiovascular effects of Sevo were greater than those of Hal, similar to those of Iso, and less than those of Enf. Respiratory effects of Sevo were similar to those of Iso at all anesthesia stages, greater than those of Hal at 2 MAC, and less than those of Enf at 1.5 and 2 MAC. Up to the moderate surgical anesthesia stage, Sevo can be used safely in dogs undergoing spontaneous ventilation.

To study the effect of flunixin meglumine on short circuit current (Isc) in equine right ventral colon in vitro. ⋯ Our results suggest that flunixin meglumine given IV to horses at recommended doses could alter putative effects of colonic prostaglandins.
