Abstract

Propofol is a widespread anaesthetic agent in human medicine. It allows the practice of total intravenous anaesthesia through the use of sophisticated delivery systems due to its pharmacokinetic/ pharmacodynamics properties. Three New Zealand White rabbits were anaesthetized with three different infusion rates (70, 100, 130 mg.kg-1.h-1) in a random order, during thirty minutes each. Clinical parameters as well as arterial blood samples were collected at specific time points. Rugloop II Vet software was used to storage all data and to predict the propofol concentrations during the anaesthetic period. A correlation analysis was done between real and predicted propofol concentrations, in each infusion rate. It was only observed a significant correlation between concentrations during the lower infusion rate (70 mg.kg-1.h-1). There is a lack of automatic devices and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamics models that allow a real-time or predicted measurement of the propofol concentrations in the patient, for veterinary medicine.
