Abstract

|
This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of doxapram after ketamine treatment. Twelve healthy dogs were anesthetized with ketamine(15mg/kg IM) and then twenty minutes after the injection of ketamine six dogs received doxapram(2mg/kg IV)and six dogs received saline(5㎖ IV)as a control group. Recovery time, respiratory rate, heart rate and electrocardiogram findings(ECG)were recorded. Recovery time was significantly decreased(p<0.05)by doxapram. Respiratory rate showed a maximal increase immediately after the administration of doxapram. Thereafter respiratory rate gradually decreased and revealed normal levels 10 minutes after the injection of doxapram. Ketamine increased significantly (p<0.05) heart rate. Heart rate showed slight increase immediately after the administration of doxapram. Thereafter heart rate gradually decreased, and revealed normal levels 20 minutes after the injection of doxapram.
