ABSTRACT

 

Marjani M, Sabzevari A, Ghaffari MS, Akbarein H., Effects of propofol and etomidate intravenous anaesthesia on blood calcium and magnesium in dogs, Onl J Vet Res., 27 (1): 28-36, 2023. Authors report effects of intravenous propofol and etomidate anaesthesia on blood calcium and magnesium in dogs. Two groups of 10 dogs each were anaesthetized 0.5mg/kg diazepam and 5mg/kg propofol intravenously maintained with 2mg/kg propofol infusion for 1h (1), or 0.5mg/kg diazepam and 2mg/kg etomidate maintained with 0.1mg/kg/min etomidate perfusion for 1h (2). Blood was taken for serum calcium and magnesium before, 30 and 60 after anaesthesias. No statistically significant changes in serum calcium and magnesium levels were seen throughout the study in both treatment groups. In summary, continuous infusion of propofol or etomidate did not alter blood calcium and magnesium concentration during anaesthesia in dogs.

 

Key words: total intravenous anaesthesia, propofol, etomidate, calcium, magnesium, dogs.
