摘要

The periods of latency and duration of butorphanol associated with ropivacaine used via epidural, and this combination as anesthetic protocol for carrying out ovariosalpingohysterectomy (OSH) in bitches were evaluated. Sixteen animals pre-medicated with acepromazine and midazolam were used composing two groups that received: 1 (n=8) ropivacaine (0.3m L/kg) and 2 (n=8) butorphanol (0.1mg/kg) and ropivacaine (up to the volume of 0.3ml/kg) via epidural. Nine moments were studied: M 1 a?? 15 minutes after pre-anesthetic medication; M 2 a?? 30 minutes after the epidural medication; M 3 , M 4 , and M 5 a?? at the beginning of surgery and at clamping left and right pedicles, respectively; M 6 a?? at ligation of the uterine cervix; and M 7 and M 8 a?? at laparorhaphy and end of skin suture, respectively. Periods of latency and blocking the action of random double-covert manner were evaluated as well as the feasibility of carrying out the surgery performed by the blockade. It was observed that the group receiving ropivacaine + butorphanol allowed the execution of OSH in 75% of animals without the need for anesthesia. There was no statistical difference between the periods of latency and duration. It was concluded that the combination of butorphanol to ropivacaine provides, in bitches, block compatible with the implementation of OSH with short period of latency and duration of effect sufficient for the surgical procedure.
