Abstract
Remifentanil is an ultra-short-acting µ-opioid receptor agonist. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of sevoflurane and other MAC derivatives, including the MAC for blocking adrenergic responses (MAC-BAR) and the MAC at which tracheal extubation is occurred (MAC-extubation), with or without remifentanil infusion. Six healthy adult beagle dogs were randomly anesthetized three times for determining the MAC-BAR (SEVMAC-BAR), MAC (SEVMAC), and MAC- extubation (SEVMAC-extubation) of sevoflurane under infusion of saline and remifentanil at rates of 0.15, 0.30, 0.60, 1.20, and 2.40 µg/kg/min. The ratio of the SEVMAC-BAR and SEVMAC and that of the SEVMAC-extubation and SEVMAC were not significantly different at baseline and during treatment. The MAC-BAR95 and MAC95 decreased in a dose-dependent manner until reaching 1.20 µg/kg/min, and the MAC-extubation5 decreased in a dose-dependent manner until reaching 0.60 µg/kg/min. The percentage reduction of SEVMAC-BAR, SEVMAC, and SEVMAC-extubation increased in a dose-dependent manner during remifentanil infusion. The heart rate significantly decreased in the MAC-BAR and MAC groups, and the systolic and mean arterial pressures...Continue Reading
