Abstract

This study was performed to compare the anesthetic and cardiorespiratory effects of the tiletamine/zolazepam/xylazine (TZX) combination and tiletamine/zolazepam/midazolam (TZM) combination. Eight healthy Landrace $\times$ Yorkshire pigs were randomly assigned to two groups. Each group was composed of four pigs. The pigs in group 1 (TZX) received tiletamine/zolazepam (2 mg/kg, IM) and xylazine (2 mg/kg, IM). The pigs in group 2 (TZM) received tiletamine/zolazepam (2 mg/kg, IM) and midazolam (0.5 mg/kg, IV). Induction time, anesthesia time and standing time were recorded for each pig. The scores of anesthetic effects were subjectively evaluated every 15 minutes during anesthesia. Cardiopulmonary parameters (heart rate, arterial blood pressure, respiratory rate and rectal temperature) were monitored and recorded 0, 5, 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes after administration of drugs. Arterial blood gases ($pH_a$, $P_aCO_2$ and $P_aO_2$) and oxygen saturation ($SO_2$) were analyzed at same times. The scores of anesthetic effects decreased in the TZX group compare with the TZM group. From 5 to 85 minutes the mean heart rate in the TZX group was significantly lower than those in the TZM group. Mean arterial blood pressure in the TZX group was significantly higher than those in the TZM group at 5, 15 and 30 minutes. Both drug combinations provided a smooth induction and good immobilization. Scores of anesthetic effects in the TZM group were better than those in the TZX group. The effects to the cardiorespiratory function and temperature were lesser in the TZM group than those in the TZX group. In conclusion, when the two drug combinations were compared, the TZM group showed better anesthetic effects and less cardiorespiratory effects.

이 연구의 목적은 돼지에 있어서 zoletil/midazolam (TZM)과 zoletil/xylazine (TZX)의 2가지 병용마취를 사용하였을 때의 마취효과와 심혈관계 및 호흡에 미치는 영향을 비교하기 위하여 실시하였다. 총 8 마리의 Landrace $\times$ Yorkshire 교잡종 돼지 ($25.3{\pm}3.3\;kg$)를 사용하였으며, 각 군마다 4 마리씩 2개 군으로 실험을 실시하였다. 첫 번째 군은 xylazine과 tiletamine/zolazepam을 2 mg/kg 용량으로 근육 내 주사하였고(TZX군), 2번째 군은 midazolam 0.5 mg/kg의 용량을 정맥 내 주사 하고 tiletamine/zolazepam 2 mg/kg 용량으로 근육 내 주사하였다(TZM군). 마취시간에 대한 평가로 induction time, anesthesia time과 standing time을 각 돼지마다 측정하였으며, 마취효과에 대한 평가로 진정, 진통, 근 이완, 자세 그리고 청각반응을 점수화 하여 매 15분마다 측정하였다. 심폐기능에 대한 평가로 심박동수와 동맥혈압, 호흡수, 직장체온을 마취 전, 마취직후, 마취 후 5분, 15분, 30분, 45분 및 60분에 각각 측정하였고, 동맥혈 가스 분석을 동일시간대에 실시하였다. 실험 결과 모든 돼지에서의 마취는 성공적이었다. 2가지 병용마취 모두 부드러운 마취 유도와 적절한 운동억제 효과를 보였으나 마취효과점수에서는 TZM군이 TZX군보다 우수하였으며, TZM군이 TZX군 보다 심폐기능 및 체온에 미치는 영향이 적으며 안정적인 것을 확인하였다. 결론적으로, TZM군은 TZX군에 비하여 더욱 양호한 마취효과를 보였으며, 심폐기능에 미치는 영향은 보다 적게 나타내었다.
