Preliminary observations on the potentialization of the general anesthesia in throughbred race horses / Observações preliminares sobre anestesia geral potencializada em equinos puro-sangue de corridas

ABSTRACT

In the present paper the AA. describe the preliminary observations on the potentialization of the general anesthesia in the Thoroughbred Race Horses. Dose of 100/100 Kg body weight of Clorpromazina (Largatil or Amplictil) together with dose of 50 mg/100 Kg body weight of Prometazina (Phenergan) is administered by intravenous injection approximately twenty minutes before the anesthetic. A anesthetic solution containing 7.5 per cent of cloral hydrate and 6,13 per cent of magnesium sulfate is given by slow intravenous infusion. A satisfactory degree of anaesthesia is attained by employing those quantities per 100 Kg body weight. Detailed data of nine observations have been described with this new method.
