Immobilisation of impala (Aepyceros melampus) with a ketamine hydrochloride/medetomidine hydrochloride combination, and reversal with atipamezole hydrochloride.
A combination of medetomidine hydrochloride (medetomidine) and ketamine hydrochloride (ketamine) was evaluated in 16 boma-confined and 19 free-ranging impalas (Aepyceros melampus) to develop a non-opiate immobilisation protocol. In free-ranging impala a dose of 220 +/- 34 microg/kg medetomidine and 4.4 +/- 0.7 mg/kg ketamine combined with 7500 IU of hyaluronidase induced recumbency within 4.5 +...

متن کاملReversal of medetomidine-ketamine combination anesthesia in rabbits by atipamezole.
This study was performed to determine the optimal reversal dosage of atipamezole on medetomidine-ketamine combination anesthesia. The subject rabbits were divided into five groups (n=5/group), and all were anesthetized with intravenous medetomidine (0.35 mg/kg) and ketamine (5 mg/kg). Atipamezole was administered intravenously 35 min after administration of the medetomidine-ketamine mixture, at...
