[Propofol--a short-term narcotic--tested in gastroduodenoscopy in the cat].
The injection anaesthetic propofol (Disoprivan) was used in 85 cats for performing gastroduodenoscopy. Anaesthesia and feasibility for executing endoscopy were evaluated. Two cats suffered from a transient (30 sec) respiratory arrest. In any other cases stable cardiovascular and acceptable respiratory conditions were observed. The endoscopy was easy to perform and no emesis was induced. Anaesthesia of the cat with propofol can be very well controlled. It is characterised by gentle induction and a recovery free from excitation.
