The animals were housed individually within a zone of thermal neutrality. Feed and water were available ad libitum. After becoming accus- tomed to human contact (being approached and touched), a catheter was implanted in the jugular vein, exteriorized in the neck region. This operation was performed under halothane anaesthesia. After recovery, hourly blood samples were taken over a 27 hour period, and cortisol and beta-endor- phin concentrations were measured in the sample plasma. After this reference period, half of the ani- mals were anaesthetized with metomidate, the other half with ketamine, and blood samples were taken at regular intervals. During a second experiment the heart rate was monitored after being anaes- thetized as described before. An influence of the type of anaesthesia was observed on the plasma con- centration of cortisol, but no effect was observed with respect to the (3-endorphin concentration. A fivefold increase of cortisol concentration was observed after injection with ketamine, while a twofold increase was observed after injection with metomidate. This finding suggests a suppressive effect of metomidate on the plasma cortisol levels. A fivefold increase was also observed for the (3-endorphin concentration after injection with either ketamine or metomidate. The increase in the heart rate was related to the awakening activity, which was more difficult after the ketamine injection. pig / anaesthesia / cortisol / [3-endorphin / heart rate * Correspondence and reprints Résumé ― Influence du type d’anesthésie sur le taux de cortisol, de fi-endorphines et sur le rythme cardiaque chez le porc. Au cours de deux expérimentations l’effet de l’anesthésie (métomi- date ou kétamine) a été recherché sur les taux plasmatiques de cortisol et de {3-endorphine, ainsi que sur le rythme cardiaque. Vingt porcelets d’environ 20 kg de poids vif ont été placés dans des loges individuelles. Les conditions thermiques étaient optimales ; la nourriture et l’eau étaient dis- tribuées ad libitum. Quand les porcelets ont été habitués au contact humain, un cathéter a été implanté dans la veine jugulaire sous anesthésie à l’halothane. Après la guérison, chaque heure, un échantil- lon de sang a été prélevé pendant une période de 27 heures pour déterminer les valeurs de référence. Puis la moitié des porcelets a été anesthésiée par une injection de métomidate ou de kétamine, suivie par la collecte des échantillons de sang. Dans le plasma les taux de cortisol et de j3-endorphine ont été déterminés. Au cours d’une autre épreuve, le rythme cardiaque a été mesuré avant, pendant et après l’anesthésie. Le type d’anesthésie a eu une influence sur le taux de corüsol et le rythme cardiaque. Le taux de cortisol a augmenté cinq fois après une injection de kétamine, de même que le taux de {3-endor- phine après une injection de kétamine ou métomidate. Le taux de corüsol a augmenté seulement deux fois après une injection de métomidate. Ce résultat suggère un effet suppressif du métamidate sur le taux de cortisol plasmatique. L’augmentation du rythme cardiaque était liée à l’activité d’éveil, plus laborieuse en cas d’injection de kétamine. porc / anesthésie / cortisol / {3-endorphine / rythme cardiaque INTRODUCTION sol levels normally starts about 10 min after injection.

Clinical Anesthesia and Analgesia in Fish Lynne U. Sneddon University of Liverpool KEYWORDS Analgesics, anesthetic drugs, fish, local anesthetics, opioids, NSAIDs ABSTRACT Fish have become a popular experimental model and companion animal, and are also farmed and caught for food. Thus, surgical and invasive procedures in this animal group are common, and this review will focus on the anesthesia and analgesia of fish. A variety of anesthetic agents are commonly applied to fish via immersion. Correct dosing can result in effective anesthesia for acute procedures as well as loss of consciousness for surgical interventions. Dose and anesthetic agent vary between species of fish and are further confounded by a variety of physiological parameters (e.g., body weight, physiological stress) as well as environmental conditions (e.g., water temperature). Combination anesthesia, where 2 anesthetic agents are used, has been effective for fish but is not routinely used because of a lack of experimental validation. Analgesia is a relatively underexplored issue in regards to fish medicine.
