Succinylcholine Chloride Immobilization of Black Bears
نویسنده
چکیده
Succinylcholine chloride is a potent relaxant of voluntary striated muscle but has little direct effect on smooth muscle. It has no anesthetic or pain-obliterating properties; therefore, immobilized animals remain completely conscious although unable to move. The duration of effect is quite brief because succinylcholine is rapidly destroyed by non-specific cholinesterases in the blood plasma and liver. Immobilization lasts five to 12 minutes in man and horses and somewhat longer in other species,with ruminants generally requiring longest recovery periods (Stowe et al. 1958).

The death of several black bears at the black bear breeding base in Yunnan Pingbian Daweishan is a matter of concern. Multiple black bears exhibited decreased appetite or unusual waste, and some were soporific or suffered from vomiting and anhelation. In order to ascertain the cause of death, 16S rDNA gene sequencing and phylogenetic analysis was performed on bacteria isolated from tissue sampl...

The effect of anesthetizing with a 1:1 combination of tiletamine hydrochloride and zolazepam hydrochloride (TZ) was evaluated in 75 Japanese black bears. TZ was administered to 43 captive and 11 wild, 8 captives and 13 hibernating captive bears at the doses of approximately 9.0 mg/kg (usual dosage), 18.0 mg/kg (high dosage) and 5.0 mg/kg (low dosage), respectively. Sufficient anesthetic effects...

This study evaluated the effectiveness of emetic compounds (lithium chloride and cupric sulfate) in honey baits as a technique for preventing black bear damage in fenced beeyards. LiCl and CuSO4 in honey baits did not reduce black bear damage at beeyards. Our experience indicates that LiCl is not a suitable emetic for producing taste aversions in free-ranging black bears.
متن کاملBone formation is not impaired by hibernation (disuse) in black bears Ursus americanus.
Disuse by bed rest, limb immobilization or space flight causes rapid bone loss by arresting bone formation and accelerating bone resorption. This net bone loss increases the risk of fracture upon remobilization. Bone loss also occurs in hibernating ground squirrels, golden hamsters, and little brown bats by arresting bone formation and accelerating bone resorption. There is some histological ev...

Introduction Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by low bone mass and structural deterioration of bone tissue, which leads to bone fragility and increased fracture risk. For prolonged bed rest, immobilization, and space flight, disuse atrophy of bone is prevalent in many animals including humans. However, black bears may not develop osteopenia during long periods of disuse (i.e., hibernatio...
