Nine marine otters (Lontra felina) were anesthetized 15 times with a combination of ketamine (5.3 +/- 0.9 [range: 4.5-8.0] mg/kg) and medetomidine (53 - 9 [range: 45-80] microg/kg) i.m. by hand syringe for the placement of radiotransmitters. Times to initial effect and induction period ranged from 1.1 to 5.0 min and 1.8 to 5.4 min, respectively. Minor complications did occur, including mild hypothermia in six otters and severe hypoxemia in one otter. After 34 and 63 min, anesthesia was antagonized with atipamezole (226 +/- 29 [range: 179-265] microg/kg) and all otters recovered within 3.3-26.8 min.
九只海獭(南美獭属)通过手动注射器肌肉注射氯胺酮(5.3±0.9[范围:4.5 - 8.0]毫克/千克)和美托咪定(53 - 9[范围:45 - 80]微克/千克)的组合麻醉15次,用于植入无线电发射器。达到初始效果的时间和诱导期分别为1.1至5.0分钟和1.8至5.4分钟。确实出现了轻微并发症,包括六只海獭体温轻度降低和一只海獭严重低氧血症。34分钟和63分钟后,用阿替美唑(226±29[范围:179 - 265]微克/千克)拮抗麻醉,所有海獭在3.3 - 26.8分钟内恢复。
