in Cynomolgus monkeys. Onl
J Vet Res., 11 (1):39-45, 2007. The physiological effects of a mixture of
ketamine, xylazine, tiletamine
and zolazepam (KT/XZ), in cynomolgus
monkeys during 24 hr anesthesia is described.
Eight were induced with ketamine IM and anesthetized with IV KT/XZ. In all,
anesthesia was maintained for 24 hours with large decreases in rectal
temperature, heart and respiratory rates but moderate hypotension. All monkeys
recovered normally 4 hours post-anesthesia. These results suggest that KX/TZ
mixture could be used for prolonged anesthesia in cynomolgus
monkeys.
