    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Researchers evaluated epidural anesthesia in 40 donkeys, identifying the second intercoccygeal space as optimal. Specific dosages of procaine hydrochloride were recommended for effective posterior and anterior epidural anesthesia in these animals.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Anesthesiology
    • Equine Pain Management

    Background:

    • Epidural anesthesia is a common regional anesthetic technique in veterinary medicine.
    • Limited data exists on optimal epidural techniques and dosages in donkeys.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the suitability of the intercoccygeal space for epidural anesthesia in donkeys.
    • To establish effective dosages of procaine hydrochloride for posterior and anterior epidural anesthesia in donkeys.

    Main Methods:

    • Epidural anesthesia was administered to 40 donkeys.
    • The second intercoccygeal space was utilized for needle insertion.
    • Procaine hydrochloride at varying concentrations and volumes was used.

    Main Results:

    • The second intercoccygeal space provided satisfactory induction of epidural anesthesia.

  • Recommended dose for posterior epidural anesthesia: 8-10 ml of 1% procaine hydrochloride.
  • Recommended dose for anterior epidural anesthesia: 30 ml of 2% procaine hydrochloride.

    • Conclusions:

    • The second intercoccygeal space is a suitable site for epidural anesthesia in donkeys.
    • Specific procaine hydrochloride dosages are effective for achieving posterior and anterior epidural anesthesia in this species.
