Effect of thiopentone sodium on some physiological and anaesthetic parameters in desert goats [electronic resource].

Includes references.

This study WlI5 conducted using 18 clinically healthy desert goats (6 females and 12 males) 10 study to effect of increasing the dose of Thiopentone sodium on some physiological and anaesthetic parameters. Thiopentone sodium was used at three different dose levels (10, 15 and 20mg/kg body weight) 2.5% solution. Increasing the dose of Thiopentone sodium resulted in- an increase in the duration of the different anaesthetic phases. This increase might be in teml5 of duration of the phase or percentage of the phase to the total recovery time. Respiration and heart rate were affected significantly (p<0.05) as a result of using Thiopentone sodium at the three different levels. Rectal temperature was affected non- significantly in the three groups.
