Preliminary observations on the potentialization of the general anesthesia in throughbred race horses

Abstract

In the present paper the AA. describe the preliminary observations on the potentialization of the general anesthesia in the Thoroughbred Race Horses. Dose of 100/100 Kg body weight of Clorpromazina (Largatil or Amplictil) together with dose of 50 mg/100 Kg body weight of Prometazina (Phenergan) is administered by intravenous injection approximately twenty minutes before the anesthetic. A anesthetic solution containing 7.5 per cent of cloral hydrate and 6,13 per cent of magnesium sulfate is given by slow intravenous infusion. A satisfactory degree of anaesthesia is attained by employing those quantities per 100 Kg body weight. Detailed data of nine observations have been described with this new method.
