ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the pharmacokineties of ropivacaine for single sciatic nerve block in dogs.Methods Twelve healthy adult mongrel dogs weighing 14-17 kg were randomized to receive 0.5% ropivaeaine 10 mg/kg or 20 mg/kg for single sciatic nerve block(n=6 each).ECG,BP and HR were monitored and recorded during anesthesia.Blood samples were obtained from femoral artery before ropivacaine injection (baseline)and at 10,20,30,40,60,90,120,150,180,240,360 and 720 min after ropivacaine injeetion for determination of plasma ropivaeaine concentration(by reversc-phasc high performance liquid chromatography).Arterial blood samples were also taken when adverse reactions occurred.The pharmacokinetic parameters were eMeulated with DAS 1.0 software package.Results The concentration-time curve of ropivacaine for single sciatic nenre block was fitted to two-compartment open model in both groups.The peak plasma concentration of ropivaeaine was significantly lower in 10 mg/kg group than in 20 mg/kg group.Two dogs developed convulsion in 20 mg/kg group.The plasma ropivaeaine concentration was 12.56 and 13.67 mg/L respectively during convulsion.Conclusion Pharmaeokinetic profile of ropivaeaine for single sciatic nerve block is best described by two-compartment model.Bopivaeaine 20 mg/kg for sciatic nerve block can hardly be tolerated by dogs.
ABSTRACT
After first report of local anesthetics on cardiac toxicity was published in 1979, A lot of researches of local anesthetics on the mechanism of cardiac toxicity and its treatments were reported, and some advances were reviewed in this article during recent years.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To establish a Reversed-Phase high performance liquid chromatography method for determination of plasma ropivacaine in dog.METHODS:The sample was deproteinated by acetonitrile and determined with RP-HPLC and ultraviolet detection.the analytical column was Intertsil C18 column((4.6) mm?250 mm,5 ?m).The mobile phase consisted of methanol:H_2O(5050),the detection wavelength was 215 nm and the flow rate was(1.4)(ml?min~(-1)),the column temperature was 20 ℃,the sensitivity was 0.02AUFS respectively.The volume of sample for detection is 10 ?l.RESULTS:The linear range was(0.1)-25(?g?ml~(-1))(r=(0.9992)). The recovery of ropivacaine was(91.2)%-(93.6)%,RSD was(2.10)%-(3.40)%(n=6).The detection limit was(0.05)(?g?ml~(-1)).the intra-day and interday precisions of assay for ropivacaine was(1.35)%-(2.88)% and(1.80)%-(3.76)%.The quantative analysis of ropivacaine in plasma was not interfered by impurities.CONCLUSION: The assay method was shown to be suitable for determination the concentration of ropivacaine in plasma.The method is simple,accurate,sensitive and reproducible.
