Description
Summary:Objective To compare the effects of two doses of doxapram intravenous injection and carbon dioxide inhalation on the cardiovascular and laryngeal functions of anesthetized hounds. Study Design Experimental study. Animals Six healthy adult dogs. Methods In a Latin‐square design, the mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) and heart rate (HR) were recorded continuously. The inspiratory normalized glottic gap areas (iNGGA) were measured before and after each stimulation with 0.55 mg/kg of doxapram (L‐DOX), 2.2 mg/kg of doxapram (H‐DOX), or 90 s of inhalation of 10% carbon dioxide in oxygen (I‐CO2). The stimulations were tested in duplicate or triplicate. Video clips of the laryngeal movement were scored by board‐certified surgeons masked to the treatment. Results The MABP increased with L‐DOX and H‐DOX up to 81% (both p
