Abstract: | ObjectiveTo compare the effects of sevoflurane, propofol and alfaxalone on the neuromuscular blockade induced by a single intravenous bolus of rocuronium in dogs.Study designA randomized, prospective, crossover experimental study.AnimalsA total of eight adult Beagle dogs (four female, four male), weighing 8.9–15.3 kg and aged 5–7 years.MethodsThe dogs were anesthetized three times with 1.25× minimum alveolar concentration of sevoflurane (SEVO treatment) and 1.25× minimum infusion rate of propofol (PROP treatment) or alfaxalone (ALFX treatment) at intervals of ≥14 days. Neuromuscular function was monitored with train-of-four (TOF) stimulation of the peroneal nerve by acceleromyography. After recording the control TOF ratio (TOFRC), a single bolus dose of rocuronium (1 mg kg–1) was administered intravenously. The times from rocuronium administration to achieving TOF count 0 (onset time), from achieving TOF count 0 to the reappearance of TOF count 4 (clinical blockade period), from 25% to 75% of TOFRC (recovery index) and from achieving TOF count 0 to TOF ratio/TOFRC >0.9 (total neuromuscular blockade duration) were recorded.ResultsThe onset time and recovery index did not differ among the treatments. The median clinical blockade period was longer in the SEVO treatment 27.3 (26.0–30.3) minutes] than in PROP 16.6 (15.4–18.0) minutes; p = 0.002] and ALFX 22.4 (18.6–23.1) minutes; p = 0.017] treatments; and longer in the ALFX treatment than in the PROP treatment (p = 0.020). The mean total neuromuscular blockade duration was longer in the SEVO treatment (43.7 ± 9.9 minutes) than in PROP (25.1 ± 2.7 minutes; p < 0.001) and ALFX (32.5 ± 8.4 minutes; p = 0.036) treatments.Conclusions and clinical relevanceCompared with alfaxalone and propofol, sevoflurane prolonged rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade by a significantly greater extent in dogs. |
