Procedimientos anestésicos TIVA (anestesia total intravenosa) en cirugía de orquiectomía en saínos (Pecari tajacu) en el Zoorefugio Tarqui

Abstract

Neotropical wild pigs belong to the family Tayassuidae, suborder Suiformes and order Artiodactyla. The most common and most widespread, the cateto (Tayassu tajacu), inhabits desert regions, arid steppes and less high forests. The management of wild animals in captivity requires safe and effective containment methods that guarantee adequate immobilization to carry out management practices; that is why pharmacological restraint is necessary to achieve such procedures. The field work carried out aims to apply different anesthetic procedures TIVA (Total Intravenous Anesthesia) in orchiectomy surgery in peccaries (Pecari tajacu) at the Tarqui Zoorefugio. It was decided to use a randomized block design with Tukey´s test in order to evaluate the different changes in the physiological constants in these animals. The results obtained were as follows: the values obtained after using protocol 1 were, temperature (38.66 C), heart rate (96.21 bpm), respiratory rate (58.05 rpm), oxygen saturation (96.32%), systolic blood pressure (94.71 mmHg), diastolic blood pressure (54.52 mmHg), mean arterial pressure (74.66 mmHg); with protocol 2, temperature (38.77 C), heart rate (100.50 bpm), respiratory rate (58.05 rpm), oxygen saturation (97.50%), systolic blood pressure (95.45 mmHg), diastolic blood pressure (54.10 mmHg), mean blood pressure (74, 70 mmHg) and with protocol 3, temperature (38.55 C), heart rate (94.55 bpm), respiratory rate (53.90 rpm), oxygen saturation (94.85 %), systolic blood pressure (92.2 mmHg), diastolic blood pressure (52.3 mmHg), mean arterial pressure (72.55 mmHg). It was concluded that the most efficient TIVA (Total Intravenous Anesthesia) anesthetic procedure for orchiectomy surgery in peccaries (Pecari tajacu) was the use of (Tiletamine + Zolacepam).
