摘要:Background:Tiletamine/zolazepam is a dissociative anesthetic combination com-monly used in small animals but information is limited in rats. The alpha-2 agonist, dexmedetomidine, has gained popularity in laboratory animal anesthesia. Tramadol is a weak opioid mu agonist. The aim of this study was to assess whether the tileta-mine/zolazepam/dexmedetomidine (ZD) combination effectively provides a surgical anesthesia plane comparable to tiletamine/zolazepam/dexmedetomidine with tram-adol (ZDT) in a minor procedure in rats. Methods:Rats were induced with ZD or ZDT. After the loss of paw withdrawal, a small incision was made on the rats' left thighs as a surgical stimulus. Rats were main-tained under a surgical anesthesia plane by assessing the loss of the paw withdrawal reflex for 45 minutes, then atipamezole was administered. Monitored anesthesia parameters included: (a) physiological parameters - pulse rate (PR), respiratory rate (RR), tissue oxygen saturation (%SpO 2 ), and body temperature; (b) duration param-eters - induction time, onset and duration of surgical anesthesia plane, onset of re-covery, and recovery time. Results:PR was significantly lower at 10 minutes in ZD and 5 minutes in ZDT groups. No difference was observed for RR, %SpO 2 , and body temperature. Likewise, there were no differences for duration parameters: induction time was less than 3 minutes; onset and duration of surgical anesthesia plane were approximately 5 and 45 min-utes, respectively; onset of recovery (time to move) was 51 minutes; and recovery time was 52 minutes, respectively. Conclusion:These data suggest the ZD combination provides a surgical anesthesia plane comparable to ZDT in a rat incisional pain model.
