Abstract:
The paper investigated the intensity of the main cardiorespiratory values, which
were modified in the case of acepromazine-morphine anaesthesia in dog. The study was
carried out on 16 dogs, in which the tension of blood gases was checked. The level of sedations
was measured by taking into consideration the awareness degree and how long they were able
to keep their lateral position. The sedation degree was present at a rate of 23% after using
acepromazine (0.4 kg/kc; level 1), 89% after injecting intravenously the morphine (0.02 mg/kc;
level 2) and of 100%, after 0.2 mg/kc morphine, which did not produce significant statistical
modifications on the values of hemodynamic function. Our experiments have shown that the
dose interval, comprised between 0.2 and 0.5 mg/kc of acepromazine, combined with 0.02-0.2
mg/kc morphine, proved to have satisfying effect.
