Meperidine-halothane interaction in dogs. 1977

E P Steffey, and R Martucci, and D Howland, and J H Asling, and J H Eisele

We studied the interaction of meperidine and halothane in 24 unmedicated, spontaneously breathing dogs. Intramuscular (i.m.) injections of meperidine, 2.75 mg/kg, 5.5 mg/kg and 11.0 mg/kg reduced the minimal alveolar concentration (MAC) of halothane required for anaesthesia. The magnitude and duration of MAC depression were dose related. Plasma meperidine concentrations following an i.m. injection of 2.75 mg/kg were lower in the awake, unsedated dogs than in the dogs anaesthetized with halothane.

D008614 Meperidine A narcotic analgesic that can be used for the relief of most types of moderate to severe pain, including postoperative pain and the pain of labor.

D006221 Halothane A nonflammable, halogenated, hydrocarbon anesthetic that provides relatively rapid induction with little or no excitement. Analgesia may not be adequate. NITROUS OXIDE is often given concomitantly. Because halothane may not produce sufficient muscle relaxation, supplemental neuromuscular blocking agents may be required.

D000758 Anesthesia A state characterized by loss of feeling or sensation. This depression of nerve function is usually the result of pharmacologic action and is induced to allow performance of surgery or other painful procedures.
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
