Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialProlonged anesthesia with desflurane and fentanyl in dogs during conventional and laparoscopic surgery.
To determine the effects of prolonged anesthesia with desflurane in dogs undergoing laparotomy or abdominal laparoscopy. ⋯ Results suggest that induction of anesthesia with propofol and maintenance with desflurane and fentanyl is safe in dogs undergoing abdominal surgery.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialEffects of hydromorphone or oxymorphone, with or without acepromazine, on preanesthetic sedation, physiologic values, and histamine release in dogs.
To compare hydromorphone with oxymorphone, with or without acepromazine, for preanesthetic sedation in dogs and assess changes in plasma concentration of histamine after drug administration. ⋯ Hydromorphone is comparable to oxymorphone for preanesthetic sedation in dogs. Sedation is enhanced by acepromazine. Neither hydromorphone nor oxymorphone caused an increase in plasma histamine concentration.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialComparison of the effects of morphine administered by constant-rate intravenous infusion or intermittent intramuscular injection in dogs.
To compare physiologic and analgesic effects of morphine when given by IV constant-rate infusion or by IM injection to dogs undergoing laparotomy and to determine pharmacokinetics of morphine in dogs following IV constant-rate infusion. ⋯ Results indicated that administration of morphine as a constant-rate IV infusion at a dose of 0.12 mg/kg/h induced effects similar to those obtained with administration at a dose of 1 mg/kg, IM, every 4 hours in dogs undergoing laparotomy. Panting was attributed to an opioid-induced resetting of the hypothalamic temperature set point, rather than respiratory depression.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialHepatic effects of halothane and isoflurane anesthesia in goats.
To determine hepatic effects of halothane and isoflurane anesthesia in young healthy goats. ⋯ Results suggest that use of halothane or isoflurane for anesthesia in young healthy goats is unlikely to cause hepatic injury.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialAnesthetic and cardiorespiratory effects of a 1:1 mixture of propofol and thiopental sodium in dogs.
To compare anesthetic and cardiorespiratory effects of a 1:1 (vol:vol) mixture of propofol and thiopental sodium with either drug used alone in dogs. ⋯ A 1:1 mixture of propofol and thiopental induced anesthesia of similar quality to propofol or thiopental alone. Recovery quality and recovery times were similar to those of propofol and superior to those of thiopental.
