| Sumario: | Ropivacaine is an organic base of the amide group. The goal of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of 0.2% ropivacaine by epidural administration in a single dose to dogs. The population under study (n=175 dogs) was dividided in groups. GI: (n=69) surgeries involving tissues innervated by the lumbar and sacral plexuses; GII: (n=51) tissues located in the pelvic cavity and caudal abdomen (T10 caudally); GIII: (n=55) tissues located more cranially in the abdomen (T5 caudally). A satisfactory and predictable analgesic effect was recorded for patients in GI. Analgesia was insufficient in 6% of patients in GII. Differences in GIII were significant when compared to GI and GII, since 23% of patients showed some degree of pain. The degree of muscle relaxation showed no variability between groups. Since all individuals received the same dose, they behaved as a homogeneous group. Clinical parameters did not show significant differences following drug administration and remained consistent as long as the analgesia and muscle laxity lasted. To obtain an effective anesthesia for surgeries involving tissues innervated from T10 caudally, and for those surgeries which do not last more than 90 minutes, ropivacaine 0.2% may be used epidurally in a single dose, at a volume of 0.1 ml (0.2 mg) for each centimeter of spine measured from the occipital bone to the first coccygeal vertebrae.\n |
