Randomized Controlled Trial
The effect of nitrous oxide on halothane, isoflurane and sevoflurane requirements in ventilated dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomy.
To examine the effect of 64% nitrous oxide (N2O) on halothane (HAL), isoflurane (ISO) or sevoflurane (SEV) requirements in dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomy. ⋯ N2O reduces HAL, ISO and SEV requirements in dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomy. Cardiovascular stimulation occurred when N2O was used with ISO, less so with SEV and not with HAL
-
To determine the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of desflurane in llamas and alpacas. ⋯ The MAC of desflurane in llamas and alpacas was in the range of that reported for other species.
