Abstract

In the present study, the hypoxaemic potential of four alpha 2 agonists possessing different selectivity for alpha 2 adrenoceptors and of a saline placebo was studied in five clinically healthy sheep using a randomized Latin square design and equipotent sedative doses. Baseline values for heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), arterial oxygen (PaO2)f and carbon dioxide (PaCO2) tensions, respiration rate and maximum change in pleural pressure (delta Ppl) were obtained, followed by the intravenous administration of either: xylazine (150 micrograms/kg); romifidine (50 micrograms/kg); detomidine (30 micrograms/kg); medetomidine (10 micrograms/kg) or placebo. Subsequent recordings were made up to 60 min after drug administration. No significant (P < or = 0.05) alterations in any variable occurred with placebo. All the alpha 2 agonists significantly (P < or = 0.05) decreased PaO2 levels without a significant (P < or = 0.05) change in PaCO2. The lowest PaO2 values were 29-42 mm Hg (3.9-5.5 kPa) with no significant difference between drugs. Respiratory rate and delta Ppl increased significantly within 2 min of drug administration; the duration of this effect varied with the alpha 2 agonist, lasting longest with romifidine.
