Abstract
We studied the interaction of meperidine and halothane in 24 unmedicated, spontaneously breathing dogs. Intramuscular (i.m. ) injections of meperidine, 2.75 mg/kg, 5.5 mg/kg and 11.0 mg/kg reduced the minimal alveolar concentration (MAC) of halothane required for anaesthesia. The magnitude and duration of MAC depression were dose related. Plasma meperidine concentrations following an i.m. injection of 2.75 mg/kg were lower in the awake, unsedated dogs than in the dogs anaesthetized with halothane. Nous avons étudié ľinfluence ľun sur ľautre de la Mmépméridine et de ľHalothane chez 24 chiens non prémédiqués et respirant spontanément. Des doses de Mmépméridine de 2.75, de 5.5 et de 11 mg/kilo, abaissaient le MAC de ľHalothane, et ceci proportionnellement à la dose. Les taux plasmatiques de Mmépméridine, à la suite ďune injection de 2.75 mg/kilo, étaient plus bas chez le chien non prémédiqué et non anesthésié, que chez le chien anesthésié à ľHalothane.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
