Venous blood gas analytes are commonly examined in animals, and the results may be important when evaluating the overall health status of an animal. Pangolins are critically endangered mammals, and there is limited information on their physiological reference values in the literature. The aim of this study was to analyze venous blood gas and biochemical parameters before and during isoflurane anesthesia in wild healthy Sunda and Chinese pangolins. The results obtained showed that the blood gas index trends of the two pangolin species before and after isoflurane anesthesia were the same. After anesthesia, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO), partial pressure of oxygen (pO), total carbon dioxide (CO), mean blood bicarbonate (HCO), extracellular fluid compartment (BEecf) base excess and the mean blood glucose (Glu) levels of both pangolin species showed a significant increase compared to the pre-anesthesia period. In contrast, the mean blood potassium (K), lactate (Lac) and mean blood pH levels were significantly lower. No significant differences in the mean blood sodium (Na) or blood ionized calcium (iCa) levels were observed during anesthesia. This study is important for future comparisons and understanding the health status of this endangered species.
动物通常会检测静脉血气分析物，其结果在评估动物整体健康状况时可能很重要。穿山甲是极度濒危的哺乳动物，文献中关于它们生理参考值的信息有限。本研究的目的是分析野生健康马来穿山甲和中华穿山甲在异氟烷麻醉前及麻醉期间的静脉血气和生化参数。所得结果表明，两种穿山甲在异氟烷麻醉前后的血气指标变化趋势相同。麻醉后，两种穿山甲的二氧化碳分压（pCO）、氧分压（pO）、总二氧化碳（CO）、平均血液碳酸氢盐（HCO）、细胞外液碱剩余（BEecf）和平均血糖（Glu）水平均较麻醉前显著升高。相比之下，平均血钾（K）、乳酸（Lac）和平均血液pH值显著降低。麻醉期间平均血钠（Na）或血钙离子（iCa）水平未观察到显著差异。本研究对于未来比较和了解这种濒危物种的健康状况具有重要意义。
