anesthesiaAbstract
The association of an -2 agonist to an anesthetic protocol leads to deep sedation, muscle relaxation and potent analgesia, reducing the quantity of other anesthetic agents to reach the ideal anesthetic plan to the surgical procedure. This study evaluated comparatively the tranquilization, induction and recovery quality of the isofluorane anesthesia and xylazine and medetomidine continuous infusion in 16 horses. It was possible to conclude that, in this specie, the medetomidine protocol warrants wider muscle relaxation, better quality of anesthetic induction and recovery, even though it presents the same tranquilization quality of the xylazine protocol.KEYWORDS: egg quality; glutamine; intestinal morphology; thermal stress.
