[Techniques in experimental surgery-general anesthesia of the goat]
To find an appropriate anesthesia for the goat in experimental surgery.METHODS:15 goats were operated on with intravenous anestheia using ketamine hydrochloride-gamma-OH-pentobarbital as anesthetic agents.They were grouped according to the weight.The physiologic index,drug dosage,operating time and awaking time were compared.RESULTS:There's no significant difference among the groups(P>0.05). All goats were anesthesised well,with advantage of long operating time(2.5-3.5h)and short awaking time(2-10min).CONCLUSION:The method reduces the drug dosage of intravenous anesthesia using pentobarbital as an anestheic,with minimal respiratory and cirulatory depression.gamma-OH can prolong the duration of general anesthesia and reduce ketamine's maintenance dosage.Endotracheal intubation rssured safety of operation.The method is simple,safe with satisfactory anesthetic effects.
