Comparision of Intravenous and Intraosseous Administration of Propofol-Ketamine Combination for Anesthesia in Quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica)

18280

This experiment was conducted to compare the use of intraosseous (IO) and intravenous (IV) propofol-ketamine combination on clinical and cardio-respiratory parameters. The experiment was carried out on twenty clinically healthy mature male quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica). Quails divided into two groups. The first group (n=10) received 10 mg/kg Propofol-30 mg/kg Ketamine IV and second group (n=10) received 10 mg/kg Propofol-30 mg/kg IO. Each quail were monitored for heart rate, respiratory rate, cloacal temperature and electrocardiography. While the duration time of anesthesia in IV group was significantly shorter than IO group (p 0.05), no significant differences were recorded as regard the onset of anaesthesia in two groups. There were no significant differences obtained in heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR) and cloacal temperature (CT) between groups in recorded time points during anesthesia. Intraosseous administration of propofol-ketamine combination was seen as an alternative route to intravenous way, for it was shown similar changes in both IV and IO group in terms of clinical and physiological parameters. Moreover, use of propofol-ketamine combination for induction and maintenance of anesthesia was safe and reliable anesthetic combination that can be effectively used for quails.
