Influência da anestesia com tiletamina-zolazepam sobre os parâmetros eletrocardiográficos e da pressão arterial de macacos-prego galego (Sapajus flavius).

Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of anesthesia with tiletaminezolazepam on electrocardiographic parameters and blood pressure in Galician capuchin monkeys. Five Galician capuchin monkeys (blond capuchin) were used, considered young adults, females and males, weighing 2.3±0.8 Kg, from the Parque Zoobotânico Arruda Câmara (PZBAC), in the city of João Pessoa, Paraíba. After a 12-hour fasting and 8- hour water restriction, the animals were restrained in netting and, after estimating the weight, the administration was performed Tiletamine-Zolazepam (8.4±1.7 mg/kg). The physiological parameters evaluated were: heart rate (HR); respiratory rate (RR); body temperature (TC); blood pressure (BP); and electrocardiographic variables Pms, PR, QRS, QT, PmV, RmV. The data collections were made 10 in 10 minutes after the application of dissociative anesthetic (M0, M1, M2, M3). The statistical analysis was performed using Graphpad Instat program, the parametric data using ANOVA and the variation between the moments by Tukey test (<0.05). It can be seen that the physiological variables as well as the recorded electrocardiographic variables, there were no significant statistical differences. It was observed drooling in two animals. We conclude that the use of tiletamine-zolazepam intramuscular promotes discrete respiratory drive, but keeps the blood pressure and stable electrocardiographic variables during anesthesia period, and a safe anesthesia for these animals.
