| dc.description.abstract | The present study was carried out in 12 clinical cases of buffaloes of either sex presented for various surgical procedures at Veterinary College, Bidar. The sedative effects of romifidine and xylazine for ketamine-isoflurane general anaesthesia in buffaloes were compared. The buffaloes were randomly divided into two groups consisting of six buffaloes in each group. The buffaloes of group I were administered with romifidine hcl @ 10 μg/kg body weight IV followed by ketamine hydrochloride @ (3 mg/kg, I/V) and maintained with isoflurane @ (1-2 %). The buffaloes of group II were administered with xylazine @ 0.1 mg/kg body weight IV followed by ketamine hydrochloride @ (3 mg/kg, I/V) and maintained with isoflurane @ (1-2%). The anaesthetic combinations were evaluated based on clinical, physiological, haemodynamic and haematobiochemical observations. Onset of sedation and down time to sternal recumbency was faster in the buffaloes premedicated with romifidine. Better analgesia, degree of sedation, muscle relaxation and faster induction and recovery was noticed in romifidine group-I as compared to xylazine group-II for ketamine-isoflurane general anaesthesia in buffaloes. Respiratory depression, bradycardia and decrease in mean arterial pressure were more severe in buffaloes premedicated with romifidine when compared to buffaloes premedicated with xylazine during ketamine-isoflurane anaesthesia. Haematobiochemical parameters though changed non-significantly during general anaesthesia in both the groups, it was only transient and not alaraming to suggest any pathological condition. Hence romifidine as a premedicant can be preferred over xylazine ketamine-isoflurane induced general anaesthesia buffaloes. | en_US |
