Abstract | Two randomized crossover trials evaluated the effects of nicardipine constant rate infusion (CRI) on 1) the anesthetic potency of sevoflurane and 2) the ability to attenuate dexmedetomidine-induced cardiovascular depression in anesthetized dogs. First, six healthy Beagle dogs weighing 11.7 ± 0.9 kg were allocated to one of three treatments that administered a CRI of carrier (saline) or dexmedetomidine 0.5 or 3.0 μg/kg/h following a loading dose. The minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of sevoflurane was determined utilizing electric stimuli before and after the loading dose of nicardipine (20 μg/kg intravenously for 10 min), followed by CRI at 40 μg/kg/h with 60 min of equilibration. Subsequently, cardiovascular and blood gas variables were evaluated in another trial under sevoflurane anesthesia at the individual 1.5 MAC. After baseline measurements, the dogs were assigned to two treatments (dexmedetomidine CRI at 0.5 or 3.0 μg/kg/h following a loading dose) with sevoflurane doses adjusted to 1.5 times of MAC equivalent, and the measurements were repeated every 15 min for 120 min. After 60 min, nicardipine CRI at 40 μg/kg/h with a loading dose was added to the dexmedetomidine CRI. Dexmedetomidine infusions significantly decreased the sevoflurane MAC but nicardipine did not significantly alter the MAC either with or without dexmedetomidine CRI in dogs. Dexmedetomidine dose-dependently decreased the cardiac index and increased the systemic vascular resistance index; these effects were fully counteracted by concomitant nicardipine CRI. Nicardipine CRI can be useful for controlling the cardiovascular depression elicited by dexmedetomidine in anesthetized dogs without affecting the anesthetic potency of sevoflurane. |
