    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Anesthesiology
    • Swine Surgical Models

    Background:

    • Anesthesia is crucial for swine surgical procedures.
    • Establishing reliable anesthesia protocols is vital for animal welfare and research integrity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a comprehensive anesthesia protocol for conventional swine undergoing surgical procedures.
    • To document the specific agents and administration routes used for anesthesia induction and maintenance.

    Main Methods:

    • Conventional swine (20-45 kg) were subjected to surgical procedures.
    • Animals were fasted for 24 hours prior to anesthesia.
    • Anesthesia was induced via intramuscular ketamine hydrochloride and xylazine, followed by tracheal intubation.
    • Sodium thiopental was administered intravenously via the aural or femoral vein for maintenance.

    Main Results:

    • The described protocol facilitated surgical procedures in swine.
    • Successful tracheal intubation was achieved in all subjects.
    • Intravenous sodium thiopental provided adequate anesthesia for the duration of the procedures.

    Conclusions:

    • The combination of ketamine hydrochloride, xylazine, and sodium thiopental provides a viable anesthesia regimen for swine.
    • This protocol supports the use of swine models in research requiring surgical intervention.
