KETAMINA 50
description
Dissociative anesthetic injection .
presentation
50 mL vial.
action
Anesthetic Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic that depresses the thalamus-cortex and stimulates the limbic zone, producing a cataleptic state with muscle hypertonia and somatic analgesia, while maintaining the corneal, pharyngeal, laryngeal and swallowing reflexes.
indications
Premedication, induction and maintenance of anesthesia.Of choice in C-sections.
formula
100 mL of the solution contains:
Ketamine base (as hydrochloride) 5 g
Excipients q.s.
dosage and administration
Dogs and cats: IV: 7 to 10 mg/Kg. IM: 15 to 25 mg/Kg.
Equines: IV: 3 to 5 mg/Kg. IM: 15 mg/Kg.
The combination with other anesthetic drugs can reduce the ketamine dose by up to 50%.
contraindications
Do not use in animals with seizures; head trauma with increased intracranial pressure; glaucoma; decompensated heart failure; hypertension; renal failure (especially in cats) and severe liver failure (especially in dogs).
collateral damage
Sialorrhea, emesis, vocalization, erratic and prolonged recovery, spasmodic movements, seizures, muscle tremors, hypertonicity, opisthotonos, dyspnea and arterial hypertension may occur. In cases of overdosage or very rapid intravenous injections, respiratory depression may occur.
Caution
Ketamine causes sialorrhea, so the use of atropine sulphate 1% is recommended. Repeating Ketamine for anesthesia maintenance prolongs the recovery proportionally to the number of administrations.
